Java Intro in Java
Sure! Here's a simple Introduction to Java:
What is Java?
Java is a high-level, object-oriented, and platform-independent programming language. It was developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle) and released in 1995.
The main philosophy behind Java is "Write Once, Run Anywhere," meaning code written in Java can run on any device that has the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Key Features of Java:
Simple: Easy to learn and understand.
Object-Oriented: Based on real-world objects (classes, objects, inheritance, etc.).
Platform-Independent: Java programs run on any OS with JVM (Windows, Mac, Linux).
Secure: Provides a secure environment through features like bytecode verification and the security manager.
Robust: Strong memory management and error handling.
Multithreaded: Supports concurrent execution of two or more parts of a program.
High Performance: With the help of Just-In-Time (JIT) compilers.
Java Program Flow:
Write the code (
.java
file).Compile it using the Java Compiler (
javac
) to get a bytecode (.class
file).Run the bytecode using the Java Virtual Machine (
java
command).
Basic Java Program Example:
public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello, World!"); }}
public class HelloWorld
: Defines a class namedHelloWorld
.public static void main(String[] args)
: Entry point for the program.System.out.println()
: Prints text to the console.
Java Editions:
Java SE (Standard Edition): For developing desktop and server applications.
Java EE (Enterprise Edition): For large-scale, distributed systems (like web servers).
Java ME (Micro Edition): For mobile devices, IoT devices.
JavaFX: For rich Internet applications.
