Comparing Code between Python, Java, and Perl
Here are the overlaps:
- The languages are general purpose.
- Can do object oriented programming.
- Can run unit tests.
- Can be run at the command line
It should be possible to write and rewrite programs until they pass the same tests and run the same way at the command line. It can be done, and these pair-wise match-ups provide the details.
| Python vs Java | Python vs Perl | |
|---|---|---|
| Test | Python vs Java: Unit Tests | |
| Runnable Classes | Python vs Java: Runnable Classes | Python vs Perl: Runnable Classes |
