Java is simple.

• Java is simple to write, more readable, and eye-catching.
• Java has features that make it simple to learn and use.
• Most concepts are similar to C++, making it simple to learn.

Java is secure.

• Java offers a safe ground for developing online projects.
• Java provides a safe approach to accessing online tools.
• Java prevents direct memory access.
• Java prevents unauthorized code execution.

Java is Portable

• Java is platform-independent; programs can run in any environment as long as there is a Java runtime (JVM).
• Java programs can run on any platform (Mac, Linux, Windows)
• Java programs can be transferred over the Web. Ex: Applets.

Java is object-oriented.

• Java is an object-oriented programming language.
• Like C++, it provides features similar to those of an object-oriented language.
• Java allows data and methods to be wrapped together in an encapsulation class.
• Java allows for the inheritance of properties and behavior from the parent class. We refer to this as inheritance.
• Java supports method overloading and method overriding.

Java is Robust

• Java is an error-free programming language.
• Java is strictly typed and performs run-time checks.
• Java prevents memory leaks. We refer to it as automatic garbage collection.

Java is multithreaded.

• Java provides integrated support for multithreaded programming languages.

Java is architecture-neutral 

• Java does not impose restrictions on any specific machine or operating system architecture.
• Machine independent. i.e., Java is independent of hardware.

Java is interpreted

• JVM can interpret Java bytecode on any platform.
• Java bytecode helps Java support cross-platform codes.

Java’s Performance

• In Java, bytes are highly optimized.
• JVM can execute them much faster.

Java is distributed.

• Java was designed for a distributed environment.
• Java can be transmitted and run over the internet.
• Java allows the creation of distributed programs in which components run on separate machines yet cooperate.
