Key differences between C++ and COBOL

CharacteristicC++COBOL
SyntaxC++ has a syntax similar to the C programming language, with additional features such as classes and objects.COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax, designed for business applications.
ParadigmC++ supports multiple paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming.COBOL is primarily a procedural programming language, with limited support for object-oriented programming.
TypingC++ is a statically typed language, with support for both strong and weak typing.COBOL is a statically typed language, with strong typing.
PerformanceC++ is known for its high performance and efficiency, allowing low-level memory manipulation.COBOL is not known for its performance, as it is designed for business applications rather than performance-critical tasks.
Libraries and frameworksC++ has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, covering various domains and use cases.COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks available, mainly focused on business applications.
Community and supportC++ has a large and active community, with extensive documentation and support available.COBOL has a smaller and less active community compared to C++, with limited support available.
Learning curveC++ has a steep learning curve, due to its complex syntax and various language features.COBOL has a relatively low learning curve, especially for programmers with a background in business applications.
