Introduction to Java

- Lakshay
Programming Language
1. Medium used by programmers to communicate with computers.
2. Used to provide set of instructions written in C, C++, Java or Python etc. to perform a
specific task.
Brief history of Java
1. Created by James Gosling and Patrick Naughton, employees of Sun Microsystems, with
support from Bill Joy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems.
What is Java?
1. Java as a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language.
2. Design goal of allowing application developers to "write once, run anywhere" (WORA),
meaning compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for
recompilation.
Key Features of Java
1. Platform Independent: Java code is compiled into bytecode, which can run on any device
equipped with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
2. Object-Oriented: Discuss the basics of object-oriented programming (OOP) principles such
as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism as they apply to Java.
3. Performance: Even though Java is platform independent, it’s performance is still good, all
thanks to Just-In-Time (JIT) Compilation.
4. Garbage Collection: JVM keeps track of objects the program creates, and when it
determines that an object is no longer being used, it removes it and frees up memory space.
