7. C, C++ and Java n C is procedural n C++ = C + Object Oriented Programming. You can program in C++ without using objects n Java is pure object oriented You cannot program in Java without using objects n The development of Java is based on C and C++

8. Java n Developed by the Sun Microsystems (James Gosling) n Originated as a language for consumer appliances at Sun in 1991 n Java Applets: Java programs that run within a Web browser n Java Applications: A complete stand-alone program

9. Special Features of Java n Java is Simple – no header files – no structures – no pointer arithmetic

10. Special Features of Java n Java is Compiled – Java source code is compiled into byte-code.class file – byte-codes: machine independent – JVM (Java Virtual Machine) to interpret the byte-codes.

11. Special Features of Java n Garbage Collection – built-in program to scan memory and frees any memory that is no longer in use – easier memory management
