Why Java?
The answer is that Java enables users to develop and

deploy applications on the Internet for servers, desktop
computers, and small hand-held devices. The future of
computing is being profoundly influenced by the Internet,
and Java promises to remain a big part of that future.
Java is a general purpose programming language.

Java is an internet programming language.

The benefits of learning to
code with Java
• Java is one of the simplest programming languages to learn and typically
can be mastered in a shorter period of time than other languages.
• There are countless online resources to learn Java, free and paid.
• Everything from application servers to enterprise applications can be built
with Java, making it a high-demand skill in the world of programming and
software development.
• Employment of software developers is projected to grow by 22 percent
between 2020 and 2030, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics
[1].
• Java’s popularity continues to grow among leading brands.
Real-world Examples
• Airbnb: For the backend/server-side development of its website and Android app
• Pinterest: For application and data processing, along with other languages
• Uber: To develop and maintain the entirety of its software that processes ride data
• Spotify: For the backend of this music streaming platform
• Slack: For its backend, including the development of Slack SDK for Java
• Amazon: For software development, including Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Google: For its Google Web Toolkit, Android apps, and Gmail
• Microsoft: To help develop its web browser Edge and its Visual Studio Code
• eBay: To run the backend of its website
• Meta: For backend programming and Android app development for its social media
platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram
• Netflix: For running the backend of this movie streaming website

Characteristics of Java
• Java Is Simple Java is partially modeled on C++, but greatly
simplified and improved. Some people refer
• Java Is Object-Oriented to Java as "C++--" because it is like C++ but
• Java Is Distributed with more functionality and fewer negative
aspects.
• Java Is Interpreted
• Java Is Robust
• Java Is Secure
• Java Is Architecture-
Neutral
• Java Is Portable
• Java's Performance
• Java Is Multithreaded
• Java Is Dynamic 7
• Java Is Simple
Java is inherently object-oriented.
• Java Is Object-Oriented Although many object-oriented languages
• Java Is Distributed began strictly as procedural languages,
Java was designed from the start to be
• Java Is Interpreted object-oriented. Object-oriented
• Java Is Robust programming (OOP) is a popular
programming approach that is replacing
• Java Is Secure traditional procedural programming
• Java Is Architecture- techniques.
Neutral
One of the central issues in software
• Java Is Portable development is how to reuse code.
• Java's Performance Object-oriented programming provides
great flexibility, modularity, clarity, and
• Java Is Multithreaded reusability through encapsulation,
• Java Is Dynamic 8 inheritance, and polymorphism.
• Java Is Simple Distributed computing involves several
computers working together on a network.
• Java Is Object-Oriented Java is designed to make distributed
• Java Is Distributed computing easy. Since networking
capability is inherently integrated into
Java, writing network programs is like
• Java Is Robust sending and receiving data to and from a
• Java Is Secure file.
Neutral
• Java Is Simple You need an interpreter to run Java
programs. The programs are compiled
• Java Is Object-Oriented into the Java Virtual Machine code called
• Java Is Distributed bytecode. The bytecode is machine-
independent and can run on any machine
that has a Java interpreter, which is part of
• Java Is Robust the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
• Java Is Secure
Neutral
• Java Is Dynamic
• Java Is Simple Java compilers can detect many problems
that would first show up at execution time
• Java Is Object-Oriented in other languages.
• Java Is Distributed
Java has eliminated certain types of error-
prone programming constructs found in
• Java Is Robust other languages.
• Java Is Secure
Java has a runtime exception-handling
• Java Is Architecture- feature to provide programming support
Neutral for robustness.
• Java Is Simple
• Java Is Object-Oriented
• Java Is Robust
Java implements several security
• Java Is Secure
mechanisms to protect your system
• Java Is Architecture- against harm caused by stray programs.
Neutral
• Java Is Simple
• Java Is Robust
• Java Is Secure
• Java Is Architecture- Write once, run anywhere
Neutral
With a Java Virtual Machine (JVM),
• Java Is Portable you can write one program that will
• Java's Performance run on any platform.
• Java Is Simple
• Java Is Robust
• Java Is Secure
Neutral
• Java Is Portable Because Java is architecture neutral,
Java programs are portable. They can
• Java's Performance be run on any platform without being
• Java Is Multithreaded recompiled.
• Java Is Simple
• Java Is Robust
• Java Is Secure
Neutral
Multithread programming is smoothly
• Java's Performance integrated in Java, whereas in other
• Java Is Multithreaded languages you have to call procedures
specific to the operating system to enable
• Java Is Dynamic multithreading.
• Java Is Simple
• Java Is Robust
• Java Is Secure
Neutral Java was designed to adapt to an evolving
environment. New code can be loaded on the
• Java Is Portable fly without recompilation. There is no need for
• Java's Performance developers to create, and for users to install,
major new software versions. New features
• Java Is Multithreaded can be incorporated transparently as needed.

Anatomy of your first program
Anatomy of a Java Program
• Class name
• Main method
• Statements
• Statement terminator
• Reserved words
• Comments
• Blocks
21
Trace a Program Execution
Enter main method
// This program prints Welcome to Java!

public class Welcome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");
}
}
22
Execute statement

}
}
23

}
}
print a message to the

console
24
Appropriate Comments
• Include a summary at the beginning of the program to
explain what the program does, its key features, its
supporting data structures, and any unique
techniques it uses.
• In addition to line comments (beginning with //) and
block comments (beginning with /*), Java supports
comments of a special type, referred to as javadoc
comment (begin with /** and end with */). They can
be extracted into an HTML file using the JDK’s javadoc
command. Use javadoc comments (/** ... */) for
commenting on an entire class or an entire method.
25
Programming Errors
• Syntax Errors
– Detected by the compiler
• Runtime Errors
– Causes the program to abort
• Logic Errors
– Produces incorrect result
26
Errors-Examples
public class ShowErrors1 {
public static main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Java);
}
}

System.out.println(1 / 0);
}
}

System.out.println("Celsius 35 is Fahrenheit degree ");
System.out.println((9 / 5) * 35 + 32);
}
}
