hi all.
i am c# programmer (windows forms). and i started any java & c++ exercises any weeks ago.
i feel can understand both c++ & java because i know c#.
but my main problem is idea for programming in c++ or java.
for example i say with myself that "if i want to create windows form,i can do it by c# so why i use java or c++".
my problem is what kind type of projects i can do by c++ and java? Game prgramming ? desktop programming? IOT? Web Development? i don't know which type i should start or toturial in c++ or java.
i wish to can understand my mean.

UPDATE::::::
this is not solution . it is continue. really i want to write cross paltform application and great applications. and c# not supported it of course if we not see .net core.
but i like to create great good applications without any limit. and i want to work with c++ & java.
but i don't know that how can i find idea for starting that.
i think i can begin a project by c++ & java and i am not a beginner. because i understand c++ , java syntax and it's principles (according to my studies in this weeks).
and i think can understand more those by write a good project.
totally (I do not know what kind of branch to choose) IOT? WEB? DESKTOP? which today tech?


What I have tried:

i'm looking for my problem but can not find any good thing...

Basically, pretty much anything you can create in C#, you can create in C++ or Java (especially now Xamarin is part of Visual Studio).
The only difference is that C++ can be used across a wider pool of "target" processors and systems (C++ cross compilers exist for pretty much every processor (even eight bit - there is at least one Z80 C++ compiler) where C# is only available where .NET (or equivelant: Mono for Linux, Xamarin for Android / iOS) will run.
And Java can also be used where C# can't - as long as the Java Virtual Machine runs there, so cn Java code (this includes smartcards: Java (software platform) - Wikipedia[^])

There are places you can use C# that you can't use Java or C++ - the server side code for a website for example - but in most cases you could use any of them anywhere.

Just don't assume "i feel can understand both c++ & java because i know c#": theay are very different languages that share some common syntax, and if you try to do things "the C# way" in C++, you will probably make a very nasty app. Particularly if you try to do it in a native app: without the CLR, C++ does not provide garbage collection, so memory deallocation is up to you the programmer for example.

We can't say "use C# for these projects, but Java / C++ for those" because there is no clear line: they are interchangeable for whole projects (but probably not within a project, it's not going to work too well if you try to use both C# and Java together!)

Rules of thumb:
  • Use C# for almost everything.
  • Use C/C++ on embedded systems or very specialized, performance intensive, tasks (however you have to master it).
  • Use Java to relax from coding or deliberately slow down your application.


On the serious side, the 'write once, run everywhere' Java slogan still depicts its usefulness.

thanks...
first problem is what kind project i can do?
for example i don't know i should game programming or choose desktop or web development. i don't have any light target and can not decide for choose good item.
in my country 90% of people using windows OS. but i like to programming cross platform and create great applications. about i said :"i feel can understand both c++ & java because i know c#", my mean was i can understand all about c++ & java code . i feel i should start a project for professional coding in both languages. thanks
