Features of Java
Java is a widely-used programming language known for its robustness, security, and
portability. Here are some of its key features:

1.1 Simple

Easy to Learn: Java has a straightforward syntax similar to C++, making it easy to
learn and use.
Clean Syntax: Eliminates complex features like pointers and operator overloading
found in other languages.

1.2 Object-Oriented

Everything is an Object: Java follows the object-oriented programming paradigm,


promoting modular and reusable code.
Key Concepts: Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Abstraction.

1.3 Platform Independent

Write Once, Run Anywhere (WORA): Java code is compiled into bytecode which
can run on any device equipped with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Copy code

// Example: Simple Java Program

public class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Hello, World!");

1.4 Secure

Runtime Checking: Java provides runtime checking and exception handling.


No Explicit Pointers: Reduces security risks associated with pointer manipulation.

1.5 Robust
Strong Memory Management: Automated garbage collection prevents memory
leaks.
Exception Handling: Provides mechanisms to handle runtime errors effectively.

1.6 Multithreaded

Concurrent Execution: Supports multiple threads of execution, allowing for the


development of high-performance applications.

1.7 High Performance

Just-In-Time Compiler: Converts bytecode into native machine code at runtime for
improved performance.

1.8 Distributed

Networking Capabilities: Built-in support for TCP/IP protocols facilitates the


creation of distributed applications.

1.9 Dynamic

Dynamic Loading: Classes are loaded on demand, allowing for dynamic and
extensible programs.
