Java is a programming language and computing platform commonly used today.It was first released by Sun Microsystems on May 23rd, 1995. Java is designed to have as few implementations as possible, with the idea that it can be written once, run anywhere (WORA).

Although the syntax of Java is similar to the C and C++ languages, it has less implementation dependencies than either of them. Unless Java is installed, it is quite challenging for many applications and websites to work properly on one’s browser or software. Java can be found in laptops, game consoles, cell phones, and the internet.
