Special Features of Java n Java is Simple – – – no header files no structures no pointer arithmetic

Special Features of Java n Java is Compiled – – – Java source code is compiled into byte-code. class file byte-codes: machine independent JVM (Java Virtual Machine) to interpret the byte-codes.

Special Features of Java n Garbage Collection – – built-in program to scan memory and frees any memory that is no longer in use easier memory management
