| What
is Java? Java is an object-oriented language
similar to C++, but simplified to eliminate language features
that cause common programming errors. Java source code files
(files with a .java extension) are compiled into a format
called bytecode (files with a .class extension), which can
then be executed by a Java interpreter. Compiled Java code
can run on most computers because Java interpreters and runtime
environments, known as Java Virtual Machines (VMs), exist
for most operating systems, including UNIX, the Macintosh
OS, and Windows. |
