Introduction to JAVA ( Basic )

                                               
- The Creation

 - The java was created by James Gosling , Patrick Naughton ,            Chris  Warth , Ed Frank  and Mike Sheridan at Sun Microsystems    , Inc. in  1991 . This language was initially named as "oak" but         was  renamed " java " in 1995 .

 - The basic reason that lead to the creation of java was NOT               internet  , but was the need of a platform independent language 
    that could be used to create software to be embedded in various
    consumer electronic devices such as Microwave Ovens , Remote     Controls etc .

  - The trouble with C , C++ is that they are designed to be                    compiled for a specific target . Although it is possible to                  compile a C++ program for just about any type of CPU  , to do        so it  requires a full C++ compiler targeted for that CPU.

 - The problem is that Compilers are expensive and time 
    consuming to create.
  
 - So developers began to work on a portable , platform 
    independent language that could be used to produce code that           could run on a variety of CPU's under differing environment.

 ULTIMATELY this lead to the creation of java .

Packages in Java

  Packages  - The main feature of java is reusability  of code. Resuability is achieved by extending classes or implementing interfaces.  - But this is limited to only that respective class , i.e if we want to use code in same program. If we want to use code in different programs, this is done via Packages.  - Packages are the Java's way of grouping a variety of classes or interface together.  - The grouping is usually done according to functionality.   Advantages 1. Packages of other programs can be easily reused. 2. The classes in 2 different packages can have same name. 3.They provide a way to "hide" classes that are meant for internal use only. 4. Separates "Design" from "Coding".  Defining a Package   The package can be defined as:                           package package_name;   we can also declare sub-packages as:             package package1[[.package 2][.package 3]];   (# Note: The braces are used to separating
