Java is a programming language that is object-oriented. By being object-oriented, it works so that given tasks are performed by a collection of objects following a method or logical syntax. Java is different from other programming languages because it was designed with its own compiler that converts the source code into an intermediate code also referenced as byte code. The environment Java is run on is irrelevant, so an advantage of Java is that the language should function the same when being worked on varying hardwares.
