Explore the Java features!!!

Java was developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems in the mid-1990s. When Java was created, it was originally designed as a language for consumer electronics. It attempted to support complex host architectures, focused on portability, and supported secure networking.

However, Java outgrew its own ambitions. It quickly gained momentum as a versatile language for creating enterprise, web, and mobile applications. Today, Java no longer belongs to Sun Microsystems. Oracle Corporation acquired Sun Microsystems in 2010.

And with that acquirement, Java became an integral part of Oracle’s software ecosystem.

Java was very unique at the time it was created. The huge success of Java can be attributed to some of its core features. These features were very innovative at the time but are now found in many other (competing) languages.

One of the core features is object-oriented programming. OOPs allows us to structure our code in a clean and clear way that helps with reusability and maintainability.

Now let us see the most important feature of Java that is OOPs

If you ask any Java developer what Java is, the answer is often that it’s an OOPs language. It’s safe to say that OOPs is a key feature.

What is this OOPs? you may wonder. OOP is a programming paradigm. It structures applications to model real-world objects and their interactions and behaviors.

Let’s go over the main concepts of OOP:

Objects and Classes

Inheritance

Encapsulation

Polymorphism

Abstraction

Let us see the above main concpets in the next blog in detail.
