    Java is a class-based, object-oriented programming language.

    Java was developed by James


    Gosling at Sun Microsystems Inc. in May 1995 and later acquired by Oracle Corporation and
    is widely used for developing applications for desktop, web, and mobile devices.
    Java makes writing, compiling, and debugging programming easy. It helps to create reusable
    code and modular programs.

    Compiler converts source code to byte code and then the JVM executes the bytecode
    generated by the compiler. This byte code can run on any platform be it Windows, Linux, or
    macOS which means if we compile a program on Windows, then we can run it on Linux and
    vice versa.

    Java is an object-oriented language, promoting the use of objects and classes.


    Everything in Java is an object. Object-oriented means we organize our software as a
    combination of different types of objects that incorporate both data and behavior.

    Java's syntax is simple and easy to learn, especially for those familiar with C or C++. It
    eliminates complex features like pointers and multiple inheritances, making it easier to write,
    debug, and maintain code.

    java compiler is able to detect even those errors that are not easy to detect by another
    programming language. The main features of java that make it robust are garbage collection,
    exception handling, and memory allocation.

    java programs run in an environment that is independent of the os(operating
    system) environment which makes java programs more secure. With Java, we can develop virus-
    free systems. Java is secured because:

     No explicit pointer
     Java Programs run inside a virtual machine sandbox

    o Classloader: Classloader in Java is a part of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) which is
    used to load Java classes into the Java Virtual Machine dynamically. It adds security by
    separating the package for the classes of the local file system from those that are imported
    from network sources.
    o Bytecode Verifier: It checks the code fragments for illegal code that can violate access
    rights to objects.
    o Security Manager: It determines what resources a class can access such as reading and
    writing to the local disk.
    We can create distributed applications using the java programming language. Remote Method
    Invocation and Enterprise Java Beans are used for creating distributed applications in java. The
    java programs can be easily distributed on one or more systems that are connected to each
    other through an internet connection.

    A thread is like a separate program, executing concurrently. We can write Java programs that deal
    with many tasks at once by defining multiple threads. The main advantage of multi-threading is
    that it doesn't occupy memory for each thread. It shares a common memory area. Threads are
    important for multi-media, Web applications, etc.

    ava code written on one machine can be run on another machine. The platform-independent
    feature of java in which its platform-independent bytecode can be taken to any platform for
    execution makes java portable

    Java architecture is defined in such a way that it reduces overhead during the runtime and at
    sometimes java uses Just in Time (JIT) compiler where the compiler compiles code on-demand
    basis where it only compiles those methods that are called making applications to execute
    faster.
    Java is faster than other traditional interpreted programming languages because Java bytecode
    is "close" to native code. It is still a little bit slower than a compiled language (e.g., C++). Java
    is an interpreted language that is why it is slower than compiled languages, e.g., C, C++, etc.
