OK.
Well, it seems you have been misinformed. C++ has some horribly ugly things
that are intentionally kept out of Java, while C++ had to keep back-wards
compatibility with C and also add new OO support.

Some have said that C is "just sugar coated assembly", and the feel is close.
C++ tends to be for more of that approach, while Java goes for a more
abstractly clean approach. So Java programmers and C++ programmers are working
in two different worlds, with two different views.
