Ways not to Confuse Java with C++

Do you have any idea not to confuse Java with C++? For example, we use “:”to inherit classes in C++, while we use “extends” in Java. Thx!

1. Relate : with C++ and extends with Java because Java was created to extend the usage of C++ 2. Also, your class definition ends with a semicolon but in Java, no semicolon is used. C++: class{ }; Java: class{ } 3. No pointers in Java like C++ because Pointers point directly to a memory block, which is not secure. 4. Java has Collections Framework and C++ has Standard Template Language 5. C++ has friend function because C++ was lonely. Java is famous, so no friends are required.
