C++ or Java?

Which programming language has the most return on investment? Impact on real world systems, and is more rewarding? I have minimal programming experience and working on AS in CS.

C++ because it helps you write both better C++ and better Java. Even if you’re not writing Java learning how your code compiles and how it interacts with the computer is very useful in both languages but more direct in C++

Yeah but syntax is different such as the key words and function names, there's no std::, cin or cout in Java.
