Java

Java is a high-level, secure, platform-independent, and object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling in 1991. It has features such as being simple with syntax based on C++, following the object-oriented paradigm, being platform independent as code is executed on a Java platform instead of depending on the OS, and being secured through lack of pointers and exception handling. The Java Virtual Machine enables computers to run Java programs by interpreting bytecode.

What is Java?

Java is the high-level, secure, platform-independent and object-


oriented, programming language. It was developed by James
Gosling in 1991.

Features of Java Programming Language.


There are the following features in Java Programming Language.

 Simple: Java is easy to learn. The syntax of Java is based on


C++.

 Object-Oriented: Java follows the object-oriented paradigm


which allows us to maintain our code as the combination of
different type of objects that incorporates both data and
behavior.
 Platform Independent: Java is a platform independent
programming language. Java comes with its platform on
which its code is executed. Java doesn't depend upon the
operating system to be executed.

 Secured: Java is secured because it doesn't use explicit


pointers. Java also provides the concept of ByteCode and
Exception handling which makes it more secured.
 Interpreted: Java uses the Just-in-time (JIT) interpreter along
with the compiler for the program execution.
What do you understand by Java
