Introduction to java
Java is a class based high level object oriented programming language

developed by James Gosling in 1995.
Currently It is owned by Oracle, and more than 3 billion devices run Java.
It is used for:
• Mobile applications (specially Android apps)

• Desktop applications
• Web applications
• Web servers and application servers
• Games
• Database connection
• And much, much more!
Features of Java
• Object Oriented − In Java, everything is an Object. Java can be easily

extended since it is based on the Object model.
• Platform Independent − Unlike many other programming languages
including C and C++, when Java is compiled, it is not compiled into
platform specific machine, rather into platform independent byte code.
This byte code is distributed over the web and interpreted by the Virtual
Machine (JVM) on whichever platform it is being run on.
• Simple − Java is designed to be easy to learn. If you understand the
basic concept of OOP Java, it would be easy to master.
• Secure − With Java's secure feature it enables to develop virus-free,
tamper-free systems. Authentication techniques are based on public-key
encryption.
• Architecture-neutral − Java compiler generates an architecture-neutral
object file format, which makes the compiled code executable on many
processors, with the presence of Java runtime system.
• Portable − Being architecture-neutral and having no implementation
dependent aspects of the specification makes Java portable. Compiler in
Java is written in ANSI C with a clean portability boundary, which is a
POSIX subset.
• Robust − Java makes an effort to eliminate error prone situations by
emphasizing mainly on compile time error checking and runtime checking.
• Multithreaded − With Java's multithreaded feature it is possible to write
programs that can perform many tasks simultaneously. This design
feature allows the developers to construct interactive applications that can
run smoothly.
• Interpreted − Java byte code is translated on the fly to native machine
instructions and is not stored anywhere. The development process is more
rapid and analytical since the linking is an incremental and light-weight
process.
• High Performance − With the use of Just-In-Time compilers, Java
enables high performance.
• Distributed − Java is designed for the distributed environment of the
internet.
• Dynamic − Java is considered to be more dynamic than C or C++ since it
is designed to adapt to an evolving environment. Java programs can carry
extensive amount of run-time information that can be used to verify and
resolve accesses to objects on run-time.
First Java Program
Let us look at a simple code that will print the words Hello World.
/* This is my first java program.

* This will print 'Hello World' as the output
*/
public class myFirstJavaClass {
public static void main(String []args) {
System.out.println("Hello World"); // prints Hello World
}
}
OUTPUT
Hello World
About Java programs, it is very important to keep in mind the following points.
• Case Sensitivity − Java is case sensitive, which means
identifier Hello and hello would have different meaning in Java.
• Class Names − For all class names the first letter should be in Upper Case.
If several words are used to form a name of the class, each inner word's
first letter should be in Upper Case.
Example: class MyFirstJavaClass
• Method Names − All method names should start with a Lower Case letter.
If several words are used to form the name of the method, then each inner
word's first letter should be in Upper Case.
Example: public void myMethodName()
• Program File Name − Name of the program file should exactly match the
class name.
When saving the file, you should save it using the class name (Remember
Java is case sensitive) and append '.java' to the end of the name (if the file
name and the class name do not match, your program will not compile).
But please make a note that in case you do not have a public class present
in the file then file name can be different than class name. It is also not
mandatory to have a public class in the file.
Example: Assume 'MyFirstJavaProgram' is the class
name. Then the file should be saved as 'MyFirstJavaProgram.java'
• public static void main(String args[]) − Java program processing starts
from the main() method which is a mandatory part of every Java program.
