Overview of Java Programming Features

Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems in the mid-1990s. It is known for its platform independence through the principle of “write once, run anywhere,” which means that Java code, once compiled into bytecode, can be executed on any device with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Java is widely used in web development, mobile applications, distributed systems, video games, and a variety of other applications.
