C is the base to all kind of Programming Languages. Simply the enhancement of C language is C++. C++ is a general-purpose object-oriented programming (OOPS) language and Java is a general purpose, high-level programming language. Here I Provide a complete difference between C, C++ and JAVA in a simplified manner.

2.  What is the C language?
C is a high-level and general purpose programming language that is ideal
for developing firmware or portable applications. Originally intended for writing
system software, C was developed at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie for the Unix
Operating System (OS) in the early 1970s.
 What is the C++ language?
C++ is a general-purpose object-oriented programming (OOP) language,
developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, and is an extension of the C language. It is
therefore possible to code C++ in a "C style" or "object-oriented style."
C++ is considered to be an intermediate-level language, as it encapsulates
both high- and low-level language features. Initially, the language was called "C
with classes" as it had all the properties of the C language with an additional
concept of "classes." However, it was renamed C++ in 1983.
 What is the Java language?
Java is a general purpose, high-level programming language developed by
Sun Microsystems. The Java programming language was developed by a small
team of engineers, known as the Green Team, who initiated the language in 1991.
The language was originally called OAK, and at the time it was designed for
handheld devices and set-top boxes. Oak was unsuccessful and in 1995 Sun
changed the name to Java and modified the language to take advantage of the
burgeoning World Wide Web.
Later, in 2009, Oracle Corporation acquired Sun Microsystems and took
ownership of two key Sun software assets: Java and Solaris.
