Is java is More important than C++ for IT company placements??

Question

I'm studying prefinal year .Whether I want to study java for my placement or C++ is enough

Answer 1

C++ will help you understand from a low level what is happening on the hardware. For me this was the most valuable thing in understanding programming languages. Once you have that knowledge it is far easier to transfer that to a higher level language. As a graduate I think it would stand you in much better stead to know the fundamentals.
