Abstract
In this chapter you’ll learn about the implementation of the JCoCo virtual machine while at the same time you’ll be introduced to the Java and C++, two statically typed object-oriented programming languages. The primary focus of the chapter is on learning advanced object-oriented programming using Java and C++. Statically typed languages, like C++ and Java, differ from dynamically typed languages like Python in the way that type errors are caught. When running a Python program a type error can occur in any branch of code. One of the big problems with Python programming is that these errors may exist until every possible path in a Python program is executed. Testing Python code takes considerable effort to ensure every possible path is executed. While thorough testing is always a good idea, these type errors may not be discovered until much later in the development cycle.
