JAVA HISTORY





History of JAVA:
                                                       Java is the object-oriented, general-purpose programming language developed by James Gosling, Patrick Naughton, Chris Warth, Ed Frank, and Mike Sheridan at Sun Microsystems, in 1991. Actually, Java was designed for the development of software for electric devices. It took 18 months to run the first version. This language was initially called "Oak", but was renamed as "JAVA" in 1995.

Java Features:
                        Java has bundles of features, they are as follows:
        1) Object-oriented
        2) High performance
        3) Distributed
        4) Robust
        5) secure
        6) Simple, Small
        7) Platform-independent
        8) Portable
        9) Interpreted
        10) Multithreaded
        11) Interactive
        12) Dynamic and Extensive.

            These are some valuable features of java. From the next post, we will start with the coding part.

Identifiers

Identifiers:                                         A name in java program is called identifier, which can be used for identification purposes. It can be a method name, variable name, class name, or label name . Rules for defining java identifiers: The only allowed characters in java identifiers are a - z, A - Z, 0 - 9, $, and _. If we are using other characters, we will get a compile-time error. Identifiers can't start with digits. Java identifiers are case sensitive. Of course, java is treated as case sensitive programming language. There is no limit for java identifiers but it is not recommended to take too lengthy identifiers. We can't use reserved words as identifiers. All predefined java class name and interface name we can use as identifiers.                     e.g.                         int String = 888 ;                         int Runnable = 999 ;                         Even this is valid, but it is not good programming practice. Examples Que 1) How many identi

Literals

Literals:                 Any constant value which can be assigned to the variable is called literal.     1 . Integer Literals:                                        For integral data types ( byte, short, int, long ), we can specify a literal value in the following base...                         a) Decimal literal (base 10):                                                     Allowed digits are 0 to 9.                                                                e.g.  int x = 10;                         b) Octal literal (base 8):                                                 Allowed digits are 0 to 7.                                             Literal should be prefixed with '0' (Zero).                                                       e.g.   int x = 010;                         c) Hexa decimal literal (base 16):                                                   Allowed digits are 0 to 9, a to f. For extra digits (a to f), we can use both lowercase and uppercase c

Reserved words

Reserved Words:                                    In java, some words are reserved to represent some meaning or functionality such types of words are called reserved words. Data type related keywords:                     1. byte                         2. short                         3. int                         5. long                         6. float                         7. double                         8. char Flow control-related keywords:                     1. if                         2. else                         3. switch                         4. case                         5. default                         6. do                         7. while                         8. for                         9. continue                         10. return                         11. break Modifiers related keywords:                     1. public                         2. private                         3. protected                         4. static
