How is Java's platform independence beneficial in real-world applications?
Applications can be deployed on various operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) without modification, saving time and resources.
How is multithreading used in real-world applications?
It enables applications to handle multiple tasks concurrently, such as downloading files while browsing a website.
How is object-oriented programming applied in real-world scenarios?
It is used to model real-world entities and their interactions, making software more modular and maintainable.
What are the differences between low-level and high-level languages?
Low-level: close to hardware, difficult to read | High-level: easier to read, requires translation.
Compare and contrast Eclipse, IntelliJ, and VS Code.
Eclipse: Open-source, customizable | IntelliJ: Powerful, feature-rich | VS Code: Lightweight, versatile.
Why are high-level languages used?
They are easier for humans to understand, write, and maintain compared to low-level languages.
What is the significance of the JVM for Java?
It allows Java code to be platform-independent, enabling 'write once, run anywhere'.
Explain the importance of the 'code once, run anywhere' principle.
It reduces development costs and ensures applications can run on various platforms without modification.
Why is Java considered a secure language?
It has built-in security features that help resist various types of attacks.
What makes Java a distributed language?
It can connect easily with internet resources and file systems.
What is the role of an IDE in software development?
It provides tools for writing, compiling, debugging, and running code, streamlining the development process.
Explain the concept of object-oriented programming.
It is a programming paradigm that organizes software design around data, or objects, rather than functions and logic.
Why is multithreading useful?
It allows programs to perform multiple tasks concurrently, improving performance and responsiveness.
What is the benefit of Java being a dynamic language?
It can add functionality with libraries at runtime, making it flexible and extensible.
What is the role of a compiler in programming?
It translates human-readable code into machine-executable code.
