Definition

  • Java is an object-oriented, cross-platform programming language that is used to create stand-alone applications, mostly used by Web sites, that have the capacity to run animations and promote interactivity. Unlike other object-oriented languages, Java code can run across varying equipment designs, and unlike C++, it is multithreaded, able to execute multiple processes simultaneously.
