History of Java

 Java was developed keeping world Wide web in mind.


 Java was initially developed as a common language for
TV-top boxes and controllers.
 Originally this programming language was named as
Oak programming language.
 Java programming language was written by James
Gosling along with two other persons Mike Sheridan
and Patrick Naughton at Sun Microsysytems.
JVM ( Java Virtual Machine)
 Java programs are compiled into java byte code, which
is then interpreted by a special java interpreter known
as Java Virtual machine.
 Java interpreter running on any machine appears and
behaves like a virtual processor that is why the name is
given as java virtual Machine.
Byte Code
 It is an intermediate language which is produced by
java compiler and converted into machine level
language by Java Virtual Machine.
 The extension of byte code files are .class.
 It is a platform independent language that makes java
a platform independent programming language.

Characteristics of java
 Write Once Run Anywhere(WORA) – programs written once
can run anywhere without any change. Only the java interpreter
changes according the platform.
 Light Weight Code- a big and useful application can also be
created with very light code.
 Security – java provides many security features to make its
program safe and secure.
 Built in Graphics- java offers many built in graphics features
that make java application more visual.
 Object Oriented Programming Language.
 Supports Multimedia- supports audio, video, animations and
graphics in internet environment.
 Platform Independent.
 Open Product – java is an open product, freely available to all.
Types of Java Programming
 Stand Alone Applications – it is generally a software
application that does not require low level operating system or
hardware access. This includes most of the usual desktop applications
such as word processor, spreadsheet etc. Every stand alone application
of java starts executing with a main method.
 Internet Applets – these are the small programs embedded in web
pages and are run in viewer’s machine by a java capable web browser.
JDK ( Java Development Kit)
 It is a complete set of java development kit to compile and
execute java programming in different platform.
 It contains library packages to support program
development.
 A package is a collection of inter related classes.
Blue J
 It is a windows based application designed to edit,
compile and run java programs in windows operating
system.
 It works with the support of JDK.
 It contains in-built templates( sample program) that
provides assistance to new user.
Comments in java programming
 Comment lines are used to describe the programming
instructions in natural language.
 Java compiler ignores the comment line.
 Three styles of comment in java
1. //Single line comment
2. /*Multiline
comment */
3. /** documentation
comment….* /
Types of Errors In Programs

 Syntax Error- due to the fact that the syntax of the


language is not used properly.
 Semantic Error – due to improper use of program
statement.
 Logical Error- due to improper specifications.
 Run Time Error – due to dynamic logical and
semantic error that can not be detected by the
compiler.
