FEATURES OF JAVA
The prime reason behind creation of Java was to
bring portability and security feature into a
computer language.
Beside these two major features, there were many
other features that played an important role in
moulding out the final form of this outstanding
language. Those features are :
Simple
Java is easy to learn and its syntax is quite simple,
clean and easy to understand. The confusing and
ambiguous concepts of C++ are either left out in
Java or they have been re-implemented in a cleaner
way.
Eg : Pointers and Operator Overloading are not there
in java but were an important part of C++.
Object Oriented
In java everything is Object which has some data and
behaviour. Java can be easily extended as it is on
Object Model.
Robust
Java makes an effort to eliminate error prone codes by
emphasizing mainly on compile time error checking
and runtime checking. But the main areas which Java
improved were Memory Management and mishandled
Exceptions by introducing automatic Garbage
Collector and Exception Handling
Platform Independent
Unlike other programming languages such as C, C++
etc which are compiled into platform specific
machines. Java is guaranteed to be write-once, run-
anywhere language.
On compilation Java program is compiled into
bytecode. This bytecode is platform independent and
can be run on any machine, plus this bytecode format
also provide security. Any machine with Java
Runtime Environment can run Java Programs.

Secure
When it comes to security, Java is always the first
choice. With java secure features it enable us to
develop virus free, temper free system.
Java program always runs in Java runtime
environment with almost null interaction with
system OS, hence it is more secure.
Multi Threading
Java multithreading feature makes it possible to write
program that can do many tasks simultaneously.
Benefit of multithreading is that it utilizes same
memory and other resources to execute multiple
threads at the same time, like While typing,
grammatical errors are checked along.
Architectural Neutral
Compiler generates bytecodes , which have nothing
to do with a particular computer architecture, hence a
Java program is easy to interpret on any machine.

Portable
Java Byte code can be carried to any platform. No
implementation dependent features. Everything
related to storage is predefined, example: size of
primitive data types.
Write Once and Run Anywhere
High Performance
Java is an interpreted language, so it will never be as
fast as a compiled language like C or C++. But, Java
enables high performance with the use of just-in-
time compiler.
