Java
The Java language is one of the most powerful Object-Oriented programming languages developed till date. It’s platform independence (not depending on a particular OS) feature makes it a very popular programming language. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities.
Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers “write once, run anywhere”.
There were five primary goals in the creation of the Java language:[20]
- It should be “simple, object oriented, and familiar”.
- It should be “robust and secure”.
- It should be “architecture neutral and portable”.
- It should execute with “high performance”.
- It should be “interpreted, threaded, and dynamic”.
