The Java programming language is… • General-purpose: It is designed to be used for writing software in a wide variety of application domains, and lacks specialized features for any specific domain. • Class-based: Its object structure is defined in classes. Class instances always have those fields and methods specified in their class definitions. This is … Read more
The Java language was developed at Sun Microsystems in 1991 as part of a research project to develop software for consumer electronics devices—television sets, VCRs, toasters, and the other sorts of machines you can buy at any department store. Java’s goals at that time were to be small, fast, efficient, and easily portable to a … Read more
We said that the constant pool contains a great deal of information. In fact it contains an interesting mixture of items. The constant pool combines the function of a symbol table for linking purposes as well as a repository for constant values and string literals present in the source code. It may be considered as … Read more
Once you have installed the Java 2 SDK, you can start creating Java source code and compiling it. Java is like any other high-level programming language, in that you write the source code in an English-like form. The source code then has to be converted into a form that the machine can understand before it … Read more
Although Example.java is quite short, it includes several key features that are common to all Java programs. Let’s closely examine each part of the program. The program begins with the following lines: /* This is a simple Java program. Call this file “Example.java”. */ This is a comment. Like most other programming languages, Java lets … Read more
To compile the Example program, execute the compiler, javac, specifying the name of the source file on the command line, as shown here: C:\>javac Example.java The javac compiler creates a file called Example.class that contains the bytecode version of the program. As discussed earlier, the Java bytecode is the intermediate representation of your program that … Read more
For most computer languages, the name of the file that holds the source code to a program is immaterial. However, this is not the case with Java. The first thing that you must learn about Java is that the name you give to a source file is very important. For this example, the name of … Read more
