Java Tutorial Part 3 (Features of Java)

Simple:

Java is designed to be easy to learn. syntax is based on C++

Object Oriented: 

In Java, everything is an Object. Java can be easily extended since it is based on the Object model

Platform independent:

  Java code can be run on multiple platforms 

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 virtual Machine (JVM) on whichever platform it is being run.

 Secure: 

With Java's secure feature it enables to develop virus-free, tamper-free systems. 

Java program cannot harm other system thus making it secure

Java provides secure way to access web applications

Java provides secure means of creating internet applications

Robust

Java encourages error free programming by being strictly typed and performing compile time and run time checks.

Interpreted

Java supports cross platform code through the use of java byte code

Byte code can be interpreted on any platform by JVM

Architectural-neutral :

Java compiler generates an architecture-neutral object file format which makes the compiled code to be executable on many processors, with the presence of Java runtime system. “Write once executes any where any time Forever”
