Now i'm new to java just learning it in school right now and i want to know why is it slower than c++?? now with c++ you declare memory on the stack while in java i don't think you can. Is that the primary reasson that it is slower?

Has it to do with the fact that java is an interpreted language while c++ isn't. Please can someone explain this to me.

Sorry for the newb question.
