Java is a programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. There are lots of applications and websites that will not work unless you have Java installed, and more are created every day.

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.

Java is a programming language and a platform. Java is a high level, robust, object-oriented and secure programming language.

Java was developed by Sun Microsystems (which is now the subsidiary of Oracle) in the year 1995. James Gosling is known as the father of Java. Before Java, its name was Oak. Since Oak was already a registered company, so James Gosling and his team changed the name from Oak to Java.

Platform: Any hardware or software environment in which a program runs, is known as a platform. Since Java has a runtime environment (JRE) and API, it is called a platform.

example :class Simple{
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("Welcome Java Program");
}
}

Java is a multi-platform, object-oriented, and network-centric language that can be used as a platform in itself. It is a fast, secure, reliable programming language for coding everything from mobile apps and enterprise software to big data applications and server-side technologies.
