Introducing Java

This document introduces Java programming language. It discusses that Java is an object-oriented language developed at Sun Microsystems. The key characteristics of Java include being simple, object-oriented, distributed, interpreted, robust, secure, architecture-neutral, and portable. It also discusses the Java runtime environment (JRE) and development kit (JDK) needed to compile and run Java programs. Finally, it provides an example of a simple first Java program and how to compile and execute it.

Object Oriented Programming

Introducing Java
Prepared By
Mehak Usmani

1
Objectives
• To understand basics of Java
• To learn Characteristics of Java
• To understand Java Environment (JRE, JDK) needed for development
• To write first Java Program

2
Introduction to Java
• Java is a programming language (Technology) based on OOP.
• It was first developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems, which is
now a part of Oracle Corporation.
• It was released in 1995 as a part of Sun Microsystems' Java platform.
• The language has developed much of its syntax from C and C++.

3
Why Java?
Java is a powerful and versatile programming language for developing
software running on mobile devices, desktop computers, and servers.

• Internet programming language.


• write it once and run it anywhere.
• General purpose programming language.

4
Characteristics of Java
 Java Is Simple
 Java Is Object-Oriented
 Java Is Distributed
 Java Is Interpreted
 Java Is Robust
 Java Is Secure
 Java Is Architecture-Neutral
 Java Is Portable
 Java's Performance
 Java Is Multithreaded
 Java Is Dynamic

5
Java Editions
• Java Standard Edition (Java SE) to develop client-side standalone
applications or applets.
• Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) to develop server-side applications, such
as Java servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP), and JavaServer Faces (JSF).
• Java Micro Edition (Java ME) to develop applications for mobile devices,
such as cell phones.

6
Programming in Java
• For executing any java program, you need to

 Download the JDK and install it.


 set path of the jdk/bin directory.
 create the java program
 compile and run the java program

7
JDK, JRE & JVM
• JVM: Java Virtual Machine is an abstract machine. It is an interpreter. It
is a specification that provides runtime environment in which java
bytecode can be executed.

• JRE: Java Runtime Environment. It basically implements the JVM where


Java programs run on. It physically exists. It contains set of libraries + other
files that JVM uses at runtime.

• JDK: It's the full featured Software Development Kit for Java,
including JRE, and the compilers and tools (like Java Debugger) to create
and compile programs.

JDK, JRE & JVM

.java VS .class
Java file:
The actual java source file which is written by java programmer.
• Human readable
• Before compilation.

Class file:
A Java class file is a file containing Java bytecode that can be executed on
the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
• After compilation.
• Intended for machine to execute.

10
Code Compilation

11
First Java Program

class Simple
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("Hello Java");
}
}

12
Executing Java Program

•Save the file with name Simple and .java extension in D drive.
• Compile the program

d:
set path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin
javac Simple.java

• Execute the program


java Simple
