Exploring the features of Java in Simple Terms

 Introduction:-

Java is a very popular programming language that is simple portable and robust as well. Java is the backbone of many applications which includes mobile applications and enterprise-level systems. In this blog, we will explore the significance of Java in the world of coding languages.

1. Write Once, Run Anywhere (WORA):-

WORA feature of Java is a standout. The meaning of this feature is that once we write the Java program then we can run it on any platform or device. This is done by Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which is the universal interpreter for the code written by us. Hence, we can use any operating system like Windows, macOS, or Linux to run the Java program.

2. Object Oriented Programming (OOP):- 

Java is based on Object-oriented programming which makes the development process easy. It reuses the objects with well-organized code. Encapsulation of data by objects makes code easy to understand. This leads to the enhancement of code flexibility.

3. Simplicity & Readability:-

Java is designed in a very simple manner. The syntax of Java is easy to understand which helps experienced and beginner developers to write code efficiently. If any developer switches from the programming language C++ to Java then he finds the syntax of Java easier than C++. Javas code is easy to read which reduces the errors which could be generated while coding. Javas simpler and readable code syntax increase the productivity of developer.

4. Platform Independence:-

The main advantage of Java is that it is platform-independent. Java is not depend on any platform, the code written in Java will run on any operating system. This makes Java applications versatile which in turn runs on any platform without doing any modifications. This is a big opportunity or we can say speciality for developers or businesses.

5. Automatic Memory Management (Garbage Collection) :-

Java has a Garbage collector which handles the memory management. This feature of Java identifies &  removes unused objects automatically. This feature of Java helps developers to focus on their code neglecting the memory management. Garbage collection prevents memory leaks, frees up memory space provided to objects. Actually, objects are get stored in the heap memory but after some time few of them are unused so such types of objects has been removed by a garbage collector which free the memory space.

6. Multithreading:-

Java possesses multithreading. Multithreading allows programs to execute multiple tasks concurrently. Multithreading plays a vital role in the applications that handles multiple operations such as handling user input, processing background tasks or managing network connections. Multithreading makes applications efficient. Multithreading executes complex processes using entities that are nothing but the threads. Threads share the same memory of the process. Threads execute the process in a safer way. Using Multithreading we can perform multiple processes in the same program. Available resources have been handled by the multithreading optimally when our computer consists of many CPUs.

7.  Rich Standard Library:-

Java consists of a standard Library that has prebuilt classes, functions, and interfaces. This rich standard library helps to simplify the common programming tasks which are handling input/output operations, data structures and algorithms, and networking. This library helps developers to fasten the development process for building complex applications. Libraries are used in almost all Java programs. Libraries offer ready-to-use solutions and save development time which empowers developers by increasing their  productivity.

8. Use Of Java in Android Applications Developement :-

We use Android Studio as IDE to write code for Android applications, Java is the priority language used in Android Studio. Javas Object-oriented programming features, Android SDK, and libraries make the path of the developers convenient to build robust mobile applications. Java Libraries add value in the development of Android applications.

Conclusion :-

These features of Java are making valuable contributions to the field of software development. If you are a beginner in coding then exploring Java makes your efforts worth building applications. Keep Coding, Happy Coding!
