Criteria: Content 2 Conventions in sentence writing 3 = 5 points each
[Link] are the benefits of using Java?
Answer:
Portability: Java code can be run on any platform that has a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Security: Java has a built-in security model that helps to protect users from malicious code.
Object-oriented: Java is an object-oriented programming language, which makes it easy to create
modular and reusable code.
Robust: Java is a robust language that is designed to be reliable and efficient.
Widely used: Java is a widely used language that has a large community of developers and
support resources.
2. What is the difference between JDK and JRE?
Answer:
The JDK (Java Development Kit) is used by developers for creating Java applications and includes the
necessary tools, libraries, and compilers.
The JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is used by end-users to run Java applications and provides the
runtime environment and essential class libraries, but does not include development tools.
