Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to

have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It was developed by Sun Microsystems


in the mid-1990s and is now maintained by Oracle Corporation.

Key Features of Java:

1. Object-Oriented: Java is built around the concept of objects and classes, which makes code
modular, reusable, and easier to manage.

2. Platform-Independent: Java programs are compiled into bytecode, which can run on any
device with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), making it "write once, run anywhere".

3. Simple and Secure: Java syntax is easy to learn and its strong memory management and
built-in security features make it a safe choice for application development.

4. Multithreaded: Java allows the execution of multiple threads simultaneously, making it


suitable for high-performance and responsive applications.

5. Robust and Reliable: With features like exception handling, garbage collection, and strong
type checking, Java provides stability and minimizes system crashes.

Common Uses of Java:

Web development (using Java EE or Spring)

Mobile app development (especially Android)

Desktop applications

Enterprise software

Embedded systems

Cloud computing and Big Data tools

Basic Java Program Example:


public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
}
}

Conclusion:

Java remains one of the most popular and widely used programming languages in the world
due to its versatility, portability, and strong community support. It is an excellent choice for
beginners and professionals alike.
