1. Features of Java • Kiran N Patil Assistant Professor Electronics and Computer Department Sharad Institute of Technology College of Engineering Yadrav
2. About Java • • • • Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language. Developed by James gosling at Sun Microsystems. Known for portability, security, robustness, and platform independence. • Following are features of Java
3. 1. Simple • Easy-to-understand syntax • Removes complex features such as pointers • Automatic memory management simplifies programming
4. 2. Object-Oriented • Based on classes and objects • Supports inheritance and polymorphism • Provides encapsulation and abstraction
5. 3. Platform Independent • Follows “Write Once, Run Anywhere” (WORA) • Java source code is compiled into bytecode • Bytecode runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
6. 4. Secure • Provides bytecode verification • Runtime security checks improve application safety • No direct pointer arithmetic
7. 5. Robust • Strong type checking • Exception handling • Automatic garbage collection • Helps reduce memory-related errors
8. 6. Portable • Java bytecode can run on different platforms • A compatible JVM is required • Platform-specific dependencies are minimized
9. 7. Multithreaded • Supports multiple threads • Allows tasks to execute concurrently • Useful for responsive and interactive applications
10. 8. High Performance • Uses Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation • Frequently executed bytecode can be compiled into native machine code • Improves execution speed
11. 9. Distributed • Provides networking libraries and APIs • Supports communication between systems • Useful for distributed and network-based applications
12. 10. Dynamic • Can load classes and libraries during runtime • Supports dynamic linking • Provides flexibility during program execution
13. Summary • Simple • Object-Oriented • Platform Independent • Secure • Robust • Portable • Multithreaded • High Performance • Distributed • Dynamic
