Laughing...? I'm crying, not because of the question, perfectly legitimate for a beginner, but this question has already been done and has already so many answers, take a look here: https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/415432/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/392386/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/128284/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/304537/?ref=app

@Maz that's just the best way to answer... The way a "car" is different from a "carpet", that's how "Java" is different from "JavaScript".... Lol.. [....] @Dom do well to read the discussion threads Maz posted you'll understand better.

Javascript actually has easier syntax than Java and is more beginner-friendly

Java is an object-oriented programming language and JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language. Java is used to create applications that run in virtual machines or in browsers, while JavaScript code only runs in the browser.
