What is java?
Java is a high level and object oriented programming language developed by sun Microsystems. Java was originally known as OAK. It was developed mainly for handheld devices. OAK was not too much successful so Sun Microsystems changed its name to Java in 1995.
Java is similar to C++ in many regards like both are object oriented. But there are some major differences between them. Java has eliminated some of the features like pointers, memory management etc., to avoid some common errors, which are present in C++. The another major difference between Java and C++ is that, Java code is converted to byte code at the compile time. Then at the runtime the generated byte code is interpreted by Java Virtual Machine. That's how Java has achieved Compile Once, Run Everywhere and platform independence. Java code can be directly converted into machine language instructions also using JIT ( Just-in-time compiler).
