• Well a computer understands only
electronic signals where a , 5 volt current
represents a binary 1 and 0 volt current
represents a binary 0
• PC is continually bombarded with these
electronic pulses which it interprets 8 bits
of such signals are grouped together and
text , numerical , symbols are identified by
unique pattern of electric pulses.

Current day processors are
capable of understanding and
decoding 64 bits at a time
• Assembly Language is the most elementary form of software development
languages
• Your code to add two numbers in this language would like

• The way you feed this code to the processor would depend on the PC
• 1950's computers were huge and consumed great deal
of power
• convert your Assembly languages code into
corresponding machine code of 1 and zeros using
mapping sheets and punch the machine code into
PUNCH cards and feed to the computer
• With advancement in technology i/o devices were invented
• Directly type your program into the PC using a program called Assembler
convert it into corresponding machine code and feed to your processor

• That apart , you will also have to make calls to creating Operating
System provided functions to display output of code.

• A
• With advancement in software development languages
• This entire assembly code, could shrink into just one line printf 1+2 .
• A software called compiler is used to convert your high level language code (Ex. C) into
assembly code and the assembler converts it into corresponding machine code

• A
• Though present day compilers come bundled with assembler can
directly convert your higher language code into machine code.

• Now, suppose Windows operating system is running on this Intel

processor Combination of Operating System plus the processor is
called the platform

• The other popular platforms are AMD and Linux , Power PC and Mac
OS X
• Now, with change in processor , the assembly instructions will change For
example the add instruction in Intel may be called ADDITION for AMD , or Math
ADD for Power PC ,and obviously with change in Operating System , the level and
nature OS level calls will also change

• As a developer I want my software program to work on all platforms available ,to maximize my revenues.
• So I would have to buy separate compilers which convert my print f command into the native machine code. But
compilers come expensive and there is a chance of capability issues.
• Enter Java language.

• The code to display addition of two numbers is System dot out dot print ln 1 + 2 saved as .java file. Using the
java compiler the code is converted into a intermediate code called the bytecode . The output is a .class file
• This code is not understood by any platform but only a virtual platform called the Java Virtual Machine
• This Virtual Machine resides in the RAM of your operating system
• When the Virtual Machine is fed with this bytecode it identifies the
platform it is working on and converts the bytecode into the native
machine code

• In fact while working on your PC or browsing a web whenever you

see either of these icons be assured the java virtual machine is
loaded in your ram
• But what makes java lucrative is that code once compiled can run not only on all PC platforms
but also mobiles or other electronic gadgets supporting java

• Java can be used to develop Web applications.
• Java Applets
• Java Web Applications
• Java can also be used to develop applications for hand-
held devices such as Palm and cell phones
Java work slow while running at operating system.

• Dynamic Linking = Unlike C, linking is done at run-time , every

time the program is run in Java.

• Run-time Interpreter = The conversion of byte code into

native machine code is done at run-time in Java which
furthers slows down the speed.

Java is inherently object-oriented.
Although many object-oriented languages
began strictly as procedural languages,
Java was designed from the start to be
object-oriented. Object-oriented
programming (OOP) is a popular
programming approach that is replacing
traditional procedural programming
techniques.
One of the central issues in software
development is how to reuse code.
Object-oriented programming provides
great flexibility, modularity, clarity, and
reusability through encapsulation,
inheritance, and polymorphism.
• Java Is Simple
Distributed computing involves several
• Java Is Object-Oriented
computers working together on a
• Java Is Distributed network. Java is designed to make
distributed computing easy. Since
• Java Is Interpreted
networking capability is inherently
• Java Is Robust integrated into Java, writing network
programs is like sending and receiving
• Java Is Secure
data to and from a file.
• Java Is Architecture-Neutral
• Java Is Portable
• Java's Performance
• Java Is Multithreaded
• Java Is Dynamic
• Java Is Simple
• Java Is Object-Oriented You need an interpreter to run Java
programs. The programs are compiled into
• Java Is Distributed the Java Virtual Machine code called
• Java Is Interpreted bytecode. The bytecode is machine-
independent and can run on any machine

Java compilers can detect many problems
that would first show up at execution time
in other languages.
Java has eliminated certain types of error-
prone programming constructs found in
other languages.
Java has a runtime exception-handling
feature to provide programming support
for robustness.
