Java Features

Java programming language is an object-oriented programming language and it provides a lot of features.

There are 11 features in Java. They are:

Simple

• It is easy to learn and use effectively. Java inherits C/C++ syntax and more object-oriented features of C++.
• Java has a concise, cohesive set of features that makes it is easy to write and more readable.

Secure

• In Java program cannot harm other systems hence making it secure.
• It provides a secure way to access web applications and creating internet applications.

Portable

• It can execute in any environment by using the Java Virtual Machine.
• Programs in Java can run on any platform like Linux, Window etc. Programs can be transferred as applets.

Object-oriented

• Java programming is an object-oriented programming language.
• C++ provides most of the object-oriented feature. Java is a completely object-oriented language not in C++.

Robust

• Java supports error-free programming by being strictly typed language and it checks code at compile time. It also checks code at runtime.

Multithreaded

• It was designed to meet the real-world requirement of creating interactive, networked programs.
• Java provides integrated support for multithreaded programming that allows writing programs which will do many things simultaneously.

Architecture-Neutral

• Java is a machine independent. It does not tie to a specific machine or operating system architecture.

Interpreted

• Java enables the creation of cross-platform programs by compiling into an intermediate representation called Java byte code. This code can be executed on any system that implements by using JVM.

High performance

• Java byte codes are highly optimized. JVM can execute them faster.

Distributed

• Java is designed for the distributed environment of the internet. It also supports Remote Method Invocation.

Dynamic

• Java programs carry with substantial amounts of run-time type information that is used to verify and resolve accesses to objects at run time.
