Java is a high-level programming language originally developed by Sun Micro-systems and released in 1995. Java runs on a variety of platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions of UNIX.

Java is an object-oriented programming language.Unlike conventional languages which are generally designed either to be compiled to native (machine) code, or to be interpreted from source code at runtime, Java is intended to be compiled to a bytecode, which is then run (generally using JIT(Just in time) compilation) by a Java Virtual Machine.
