Java
subject			fact

Java	adopted many ideas from Smalltalk
	allows you to use CORBA facilities
	avoids the worst kinds of content coupling (e.g. those involving manipulation of pointers) by making it hard to achieve.
	contains extensive on-line documentation about each class and method
	does not execute the next line of code in the program if an exception is thrown and Java looks for some code to handle the exception and executes that instead
	does not have features macros multiple inheritance operator overloading pointer arithmetic
	does not let programmers follow a invalid pointer
	does not let programmers refer to information beyond the end of an array
	has much the same syntax as C
	has feature single inheritance
	has feature very easy-to-program networking capabilities
	has order of operator precedence
	is easier to program than C++
	is less efficient than C and C++ because it contains safety because it contains safety checks that slow down execution and because Java is interpreted which is slower than direct execution of machine code
	is not the same as JavaScript
	is a subtopic of The Basics of Java
	is an instance of object oriented language
	is run using a virtual machine
	sets the default locale based on what is set in the operating system
	uses Unicode
	was originally called Oak
	will not allow violations of certain security constraints when programs are downloaded over the Internet
programming language	comes with basic libraries and APIs
language	see also language^2
