           ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Simple :

  • Java is Easy to write and more readable and eye catching.
  • Java has a concise, cohesive set of features that makes it easy to learn and use.
  • Most of the concepts are drew from C++ thus making Java learning simpler.

  Secure :

  • Java program cannot harm other system thus making it secure.
  • Java provides a secure means of creating Internet applications.
  • Java provides secure way to access web applications.

  Portable :

  • Java programs can execute in any environment for which there is a Java run-time system.(JVM)
  • Java programs can be run on any platform (Linux,Window,Mac)
  • Java programs can be transferred over world wide web (e.g applets)

  Object-oriented :

  • Java programming is object-oriented programming language.
  • Like C++ java provides most of the object oriented features.
  • Java is pure OOP (Object Oriented Program). Language. (while C++ is semi object oriented)

  Robust :

  • Java encourages error-free programming by being strictly typed and performing run-time checks.

  Multi-threaded :

  • Java provides integrated support for multi-threaded programming.

  Architecture-neutral :

  • Java is not tied to a specific machine or operating system architecture.
  • Machine Independent i.e Java is independent of hardware .

  Interpreted :

  • Java supports cross-platform code through the use of Java byte-code.
  • Byte-code can be interpreted on any platform by JVM.

  High performance :

  • Byte-codes are highly optimized.
  • JVM (Java Virtual Machine)can executed them much faster .

  Distributed :

  • Java was designed with the distributed environment.
  • Java can be transmit,run over internet. 

       Dynamic :

•   Java programs carry with them substantial amounts of run-time type information that is used to verify and resolve accesses to objects at run time.
