Introduction to Java
Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle). It is widely used for building enterprise-level applications, Android apps, and web applications. Java is known for its platform independence, robustness, and security.
Key Features of Java:
- Platform Independence: Java code can run on any platform with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
- Object-Oriented: Java follows the principles of object-oriented programming (OOP).
- Robust and Secure: Java has strong memory management and exception handling.
- Rich Standard Library: Java provides a vast collection of libraries for various tasks.
Example: Hello World in Java
// Java Hello World Program
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
