History of Java Programming Language.


 *-History of Java-*

Java is a general purpose and  true object oriented programming language. Java was originally designed for interactive televisions, but is was to advance technology for the digital cable televisions industry at that time. The history of Java starts with Green-Team. Java team members initiated this project to develop a language for digital devices such as set-top boxes, televisions, 
etc.
The founder James Gosling, Mike Sheridan and Patrick Naughton initiated the java language project in June 1991. The language was initially called OAK . Later the project went by the name Green and was finally renamed Java, from Java coffee, the coffee from Indonesia. Gosling designed Java with C/C++ style that system and application programmers would find familiar.
Why it was firstly named as OAK?
Oak is symbol of Strength and chosen as a national tree of many countries like U.S.A, France, Romania, etc. In 1995 the Oak was renamed as Java because it was already a trademark by Oak Technologies.
Initially Java is developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems which is now a subsidiary of Oracle corporation and released in 1995.

Inheritance In Java

  Inheritance Inheritance is a process or a mechanism where one class acquire the properties which include methods and fields of another class. With the use of this concept the information is made manageable in a hierarchical order. The class which inherits the properties of another class is known as subclass  or derived class or child class . and the class whose properties are inherited is called as base class or parent class . In java inheritance cannot be achieved until we use extends keyword. Reason to use Inheritance 1 For Method overriding 2 For code reusability  Syntax: class abc { ......... ......... } class xyz extends abc { ......... ......... } ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example //WAP to Demonstrate Inheritance............. import java.io.*; class Superclass { BufferedReader r=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); Double num1,num2; void get() ...

What is Procedural Programming Language(PPL)

  Procedural Programming Language. Procedural Programming might be the primary programming worldview that another engineer will learn. Essentially, the procedural code is the one that straightforwardly trains a gadget on the best way to complete an errand in consistent advances. This worldview utilizes a direct top-down methodology and treats information and techniques as two distinct elements. In view of the idea of a methodology call, Procedural Programming isolates the program into strategies, which are otherwise called schedules or capacities, just containing a progression of steps to be done.  Basically, Procedural Programming includes recording a rundown of directions to mention to the PC what it ought to do bit by bit to complete the job needing to be done.  Key Highlights of Procedural Programming  The vital highlights of procedural writing computer programs are given underneath:  1)Predefined capacities: A predefined work is normally a guidance distingu...

Java this keyword

  this keyword in Java programming language is a reference variable that refers to the current object. this in Java is  a reference to the current object, whose method is being called upon. You can use this keyword to avoid naming conflicts in the method/constructor of your object. What are the usages of this keyword in Java Programming Language . 1) this can be used to refer the current class instance variable. 2) this can be used to invoke current class method. 3) this() method ca be used to invoke current class constructor. 4) this can be passed as an arguments in the method call. 5) this can be passed as an arguments in the constructor call. 6) this can be used to return the current instance from the method. Lets see an example to understand how actually this keyword works.. class student { int roll_no;  //  variable declaration  String Student_name; // variable declaration float fees; //variable declaration student(int roll_no, String Student_name, ...
