π Features of Java
Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.
π Key Features of Java
- Simple β Easy to learn, especially if you’re familiar with C/C++.
- Object-Oriented β Everything is treated as an object (except primitives).
- Platform-Independent β Write Once, Run Anywhere (WORA) using the JVM.
- Secure β Provides bytecode verification and runtime security features.
- Robust β Strong memory management, exception handling, type checking.
- Multithreaded β Supports concurrent execution of two or more threads.
- Architecture-Neutral β Bytecode is not dependent on any specific processor.
- Portable β Java programs can run on any system with the JVM.
- High Performance β Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler boosts performance.
- Distributed β Built-in support for networking and RMI.
- Dynamic β Loads classes at runtime, supports dynamic linking.
