Java is a simple, object-oriented, and platform-independent programming language. It has many key features including being portable, robust, secure, high-performance, and able to support multithreading and distributed applications. Java code is compiled into bytecode, making it architecture neutral, and able to run on any device that has a Java Virtual Machine.

Features of Java
List of Features in Java
There are given many Features of JAVA. The JAVA Features given below are Simple and Easy to Understand. -Simple -Object-Oriented -Portable -Platform Independent -Secured -Robust -Architecture Neutral -Dynamic -Interpreted -High Performance -Multithreaded -Distributed
2 • Simple:- - Syntax is based on C++ (So easier for programmers to learn it after C++). - Removed many confusing and/or rarely-used features e.g., explicit pointers, operator overloading etc. - No need to remove unreferenced objects because there is Automatic Garbage Collection in java. • Object-Oriented:- - Object-oriented programming(OOPs) is a methodology that simplify software development and maintenance by providing some rules. - Basic concepts of OOPs are:- - Object - Class - Inheritance - Polymorphism - Abstraction - Encapsulation
3 • Platform Independent:- - Java code can be run on multiple platforms. Class File - e.g. Windows, Linux, Sun Solaris, Mac/OS etc. - Java code is compiled by the Compiler and Converted into Windows Linux JVM MAC/iOS JVM bytecode. JVM
- This bytecode is a platform-
independent code because it can Windows Linux MAC/iOS be run on multiple platforms Operating Operating Operatin - i.e.Write Once and Run System System g System Anywhere(WORA). •Secured:- - Java is Secured because: Virtual - No Explicit Pointer
- Java program run inside
Machine Sandbox
4 • Robust(All Above Points Makes JAVA Robust)
- Robust simply means Strong.
- Java uses strong Memory Management. - There are Automatic Garbage Collection in JAVA. - There is Exception Handling and Type Checking Mechanism in JAVA. • Architecture-Neutral:- - There are No implementation Dependent Features - e.g. size of primitive types is fixed. - In C programming, int Data Type occupies 2 Bytes of Memory for 32-bit Architecture and 4 Bytes of Memory for 64-bit Architecture. But in java, it occupies 4 Bytes of Memory for Both 32 and 64 bit Architectures. • Portable:- - We may carry the JAVA Bytecode to Any Platform. • High-Performance:- - Java is faster than traditional interpretation since byte code is "close" to native code still somewhat slower than a compiled language (e.g., C++)
5 • Multithreaded:- - 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. • Distributed:- - We can create Distributed Applications in Java. - RMI (Remote Method Invocation) and EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) are used for creating Distributed Applications. - We may access files by calling the methods from any machine on the Internet.
