Programming Language - Java


Java

Java - Java is both a programming language and a platform. Released in 1995 (with original conception starting in 1991).

The Java programming language is a high-level language that can be characterized as: Simple, Architecture neutral, Object oriented, Portable, Distributed, High performance ,Multithreaded, Robust, Dynamic and Secure.

In the Java programming language, all source code is first written in plain text files ending with the .java extension. Those source files are then compiled into .class files by the javac compiler. A .class file does not contain code that is native to your processor; it instead contains bytecodes — the machine language of the Java Virtual Machine1 (Java VM). The java launcher tool then runs your application with an instance of the Java Virtual Machine.

JVM or Java Virtual Machine runs on almost any platform, which make Java an extremely popluar choice.
