Java

Popular programming language

Java is a programming language that was developed at Sun Microsystems. It is very similar to the C++ programming language, but it has a number of improved features that make programming easier.

To run a Java program, your computer must be equipped with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) specific to your computer's operating system. As long as your computer has a JVM, it can run any Java application.

Java has become popular because it is easy to use, and a program written for one operating system will work on another operating system without any changes. So, for example, code developed for a Linux machine can run on a Windows machine, as long as both machines have JVMs.
