    Java is an object-oriented programming language released in 1995 by Sun Microsystems. It is widely used in many domains such as banking, retail, capital markets, big data, Android applications, and information technology due to its platform independence, security, simplicity, and ability to develop distributed applications. Some key features of Java include being object-oriented, platform independent, simple, secure, robust, dynamic, distributed, interpreted, multithreaded, and portable.

    Java is an object-oriented, platform independent programming


    language which was originally released by Sun Microsystems in the year
    1995.

    Why should we learn Java?


    It is highly popular and highly dominated language since its release till the
    present. Java is used in various domains such as:

    ▪ Banking : Most of the banking applications are developed using Java


    to handle very secure transaction management.
    ▪ Retail : Retail industry use Java to develop billing applications.
    ▪ Capital Market (Stock Market) : Used to write algorithms e,g.
    algorithm which will suggest stocks to buy.
    ▪ Big Data : Popular Hadoop MapReduce framework in developed using
    Java.
    ▪ Android : Applications are written in Java.
    ▪ Information Technology : Java is designed to solve implementation
    dependencies.

    Interview Questions

    1. What is Java?
    2. Why did you decide to make career in java as there are other famous
    languages?
    3. Tell me some domains where java is used extensively.
    History
    Java was initially developed by James Gosling with other team members
    named Mike Sheridan and Patrick Naughton in the year 1995 for Sun
    Microsystems.

    Initially Java was used for building interactive television.

    Initial name of Java was Oak. Later it is renamed as Green and finally it is
    renamed to Java by the Green team.

    The Java name is taken from Java coffee, a type of Indonesian coffee.

    Java 1.0 released in 1996.

    Java 18 is the latest version of java.


    Features of Java

    Object-Oriented : Almost all the operations in java are performed using


    objects.

    Note : Java is not considers as 100% object oriented language.

    Platform Independent : Application written on one system can be run on


    any platform as it follows WORA (Write Once Run Anywhere) principle.
    When compilation of the source code happens, compiler converts source
    code to bytecode and this bytecode can be read/run on any machine where
    java is installed.

    Simple : Java is very simple language to learn as well as very easy to use.
    Java has removed complexities like pointers, operator overloading concepts
    that are present in other famous programming languages such as C++.

    Secure : Java enables us to develop virus-free, tamper-free systems that’s


    why it is considered to develop banking software. After compilation all the
    code converts into bytecode which is not human readable which ensures
    more security. Java has concepts like encryption and decryption which
    turns java into even more secure language.

    Robust : Java eliminates error-prone situations by checking errors at


    compile time which makes java as robust language.

    Dynamic : Java is more dynamic than C or C++ as it is designed to adapt an


    evolving environment. Java programs can carry extensive amount of run-
    time information that can be used at run-time to verify objects and resolve
    accesses.

    Distributed : Java provide this feature which helps us to develop


    distributed applications. A java program can call another java program and
    get an output.

    Interpreted : Java byte code is converted into any native machine


    instructions and it is not stored anywhere.

    High performance : With the use of JIT(Just-In-Time) compiler it enables


    high performance.

    Multithreaded : Java supports multithreading environment where multiple


    threads can access a java program simultaneously.

    Portable : Java is portable because java byte code can be carry to any
    platform.

    Architecture Neutral : Java is architecture neutral because there is no


    implementation dependent features e.g. size of primitive types is fixed.
