What is java ?

Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language originally developed by Sun Microsystems and released in 1995. It is designed to be platform-independent, meaning that Java programs can run on any device that has a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed, regardless of the underlying hardware and operating system.


  • JVM (Java Virtual Machine): Executes Java bytecode on different platforms.

  • JRE (Java Runtime Environment): Includes the JVM and libraries for running Java applications.

  • JDK (Java Development Kit): Full toolkit for Java development, including JRE, compiler, and tools.
