Ones who have been using C/C++ for competitive coding when switch to Java never needed to use C++ again. Most of the library and features available for C++ exists for Java also except very few. Conversely libraries such as BigInteger, Miller-Rabin random number generation etc which are very frequently used in competitive programming are not in C++. Besides Java has good IDEs unlike C++ which gives better edge in coding speed. Only situation I would use C++ is when IDE is not allowed which is kind of obvious as library names are very long and difficult to remember. So as per me there is switching language won't do any better and for integer and character manipulation, Java has better features. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Google Code Jam" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/google-code/d0a619de-580d-4ab7-9d97-be998ff4c8f7%40googlegroups.com > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Shashwat Kumar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
