This may sound like a really old guy speaking, but, What do you want
to use the knowledge for?
Learning a language is not an action you take just to LEARN it means
that you will actually use it for something. For example, if you were
good at using language X, and wanted to do a really fast game with
your own exotic algorithms, but language X is not the best at
fulfilling your objective. Then, and only then, do you really need to
go out and look for something that does the job better.
I can't tell you which one is better, because it depends on what you
want to do. However, generally if you want a high performance program
then go with C++. If you want to make something that works on many
platforms, with less coding time, use Java.
In terms of which is easier or not, C++ and Java are the same. You
have some confusions there that aren't in the other, but overall the
amount of confusions, which hopefully is low, is the same between the
two.
