Java

Programming Languages

Java is a general-purpose, class-based, object-oriented programming language created by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle) and first released in 1995. It compiles to bytecode that runs on the Java Virtual Machine, following the 'write once, run anywhere' philosophy, and is widely used for enterprise backend systems, Android app development, and large-scale web applications. Its strong typing, mature ecosystem, and extensive libraries make it a staple for banking, e-commerce, and government software.
