The answer will change according to part you want to compare.
In Java, arrays are objects that have methods and attributes, however in C/C++ they are not objects.
Both of them similar in a way that array dimension can be different. I mean arr[0] can be 3-dimensional, arr[1] 5-dimensional, etc.
Java is checking array bounds therefore will throw exceptions if you try to reach an index outside of the array boundaries, however in C/C++ no exception will be thrown however, you might end up with an “segmentation fault”.
