Features of JAVA Language:

Some Common features of JAVA programming language are as follows:  

     Compiled and Interpreted:

o   Java is a two-stage system.

o   First, Java compiler translates source code into bytecode instructions.

o   Secondly, Java interpreter generates machine code that can be directly executed by the machine.

        Simple:

o   Easy to learn and use effectively.

       Secure:

o   The absence of pointers in Java ensures that program cannot gain access to memory locations without proper authorization.

      Portable:

o   Java compiler generates bytecode instruction that can be implemented on any machine.

o   The sizes of primitive data types are machine-independent.

      Object-Oriented:

o   The Object model in JAVA is simple and easy to extend, while primitive types, such as integers, are kept as high performance nonobjects.

      Robust:

o   Java is more robust because it manages memory management automatically.

     Multithreaded:

o   Java supports multithreaded programming, which allows writing program that do many things simultaneously.

     Platform-Independent

     Distributed:

o   Java is designed for the distributed environment of the internet because it handles TCP/IP protocols.

o   Java also supports Remote Method Invocation(RMI). This feature enables a program to invoke methods across the network.

     Dynamic:

o   Java programs carry with them substantial amounts of run-time type information that is used to verify and resolve accesses to objects at run time. This makes it possible to dynamically link code in a safe and expedient manner.
