Features of Java

The features of Java are also known as java buzzwords. Java is a simple, robust and secure programming language.

Most important features of java that is given below -

1. Simple:

2. Dynamic

3. Robust

4. secured

5. Object-Oriented

6. High Performance:

7. Platform Independence:.

8. Architecture-neutral

9. Multi-threading

Simple:

Java is very easy to learn, and its syntax is simple, clean and easy to understand. Java code is easy to read and write

Dynamic

Java is a dynamic language because it supports dynamic loading of classes. It means classes are loaded on demand. Java supports dynamic compilation and automatic garbage collection.

Robust

Java uses strong memory management techniques so that there is no space for improper memory assignment during the running of a program.

Java is robust because it supports automatic garbage collection and exception handling, and avoids explicit pointer concept.

secured

Java is secured because there is no explicit pointer & Java Programs can also run inside a virtual machine sandbox.

Object-Oriented

Java is a fully object-oriented programming language. It has all OOP features such as abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.

A methodology that generally simplifies the software development and maintenance just by providing some rules is known as the Object-oriented programming (OOPs).

High Performance:

Java code is compiled into bytecode which is highly optimized by the Java compiler, so that the Java virtual machine (JVM) can execute Java applications at full speed.

Java is faster than other traditional interpreted programming languages because Java bytecode is "close" to native code.

Platform Independence:

It means you can write a Java program once and run it anywhere such as Windows, Mac OS, Linux etc without re-compiling. So it is called “Write once, run anywhere”.

Architecture-neutral

Java is an architecture neutral because there are no implementation dependent features, such as the size of primitive data types is fixed.

Distributed

Java is designed for the distributed environment of the internet.

Multi-threading

The main advantage of multi-threading is that it doesn't occupy memory for each thread. It shares a common memory area.

Threads are important for multi-media, Web applications, etc. A thread is like a separate program that executes concurrently.

Java supports multithreaded programming i.e, it supports multiple operations running at the same time.
