Study Notes

Introduction to Java

  • Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems in the mid-1990s, now owned by Oracle Corporation.
  • Known for its platform independence, Java applications can run on any system with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), allowing for "write once, run anywhere" capability.
  • The object-oriented programming (OOP) model in Java facilitates code reusability and maintenance of large codebases.
  • Strong type checking in Java minimizes common programming errors.
  • Extensive libraries and frameworks support rapid development of complex applications across various domains including web and mobile apps, games, and enterprise-level software.
  • To start programming in Java, the Java Development Kit (JDK) must be installed, often used with IDEs like Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, or NetBeans for coding and debugging.

Features of Java

  • Platform Independence: Compiled to platform-independent bytecode for execution on any JVM, enhancing portability.
  • Object-Oriented: All elements are objects, simplifying the development of reusable and complex software solutions.
  • Robust and Secure: Designed with built-in security features such as a security manager to ensure safe execution in untrusted environments.
  • Multithreading: Supports concurrent execution of multiple threads within a program, essential for multitasking applications.
  • High Performance: JVM optimizes bytecode at runtime, boosting the performance and scalability of applications.
  • Rich Libraries: Offers extensive libraries for diverse needs like network programming, database connectivity, UI design, and graphics.
  • Architecture-Neutral: Maintains consistent memory usage across different architectures, unlike C programming where data type size varies.
  • Dynamic: Supports dynamic class loading, native function integration, dynamic compilation, and automatic garbage collection.
  • Distributed: Enables the creation of distributed applications, facilitating access to files and services across the Internet.
  • Compiled and Interpreted: A hybrid model where source code is compiled into bytecode, which is then interpreted by the JVM.

Java Virtual Machine and Bytecode

  • The JVM is crucial for the Java platform, providing an execution environment for Java bytecode.
  • It interprets bytecode and translates it into machine language for execution by the computer’s processor.
  • Java bytecode is an optimized instruction set generated during compilation, enabling platform-independent execution.
