Two nested loops, each for 100000 times, in Java and C++. Have observed, with consistency, that Java outperforms C++. C++ took 3.26 s, whereas Java took 0.019 s. Can this be explained?

See the following two code snippets.

int main() {
  for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < 100000; j++);
  }
  return 0;
}

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < 100000; j++);
    }
  }
}

First code is in C++ and the second one is Java. The first one is expected to be faster.
