What are the advantages of Java programs?

Answer 1

Here we list some of the major benefits that Java can provide for general science and engineering applications:

• Platform Independence
  Scientists use more types of computers and OS's that most other groups. Code that can be exchanged without requiring rewrites and recompilation saves time and effort.
  
  
• Object Oriented
  Besides the usual benefits from OOP, many scientific programs can benefit from thinking in terms of objects. For example, particles in a scattering simulation are naturally self-contained objects.
  
  
• Threading
  Multi-processing is very useful for many scientific tasks, such as, for example, simulations of phenomena where many processes occur simultaneously.
  
  
• Networking
  Java comes with many networking capabilities that allow one to build distributed systems. Such capabilities can be applied, for example, to remote data taking from sensors.
  
  
• Embedded Applications
  The original Oak language from which Java derived was intended for embedded applications. Platform independence and the other items mentioned above, as well as the adaptability of Java that allows it to work on micro-sized platforms by shedding nonessential code, has made Java very popular for use in embedded devices such as smart cards and cell phones. It can thus also be embedded into sensors, controllers, and other types of engineering and scientific devices. See Chapter 23 for more discussion about this.
  
  
• Distributed Computing
  In chapters 16-20 we will examine how Java can effectively distribute computational power over many systems and use this capability to tackle tough scientific and engineering analysis problems.
  
  
• Interfacing & Enhancing Legacy Code
  Java's strong graphics and networking capabilities can be applied to existing C & Fortran programs. There have been mountains of very important and complex programs, especially for numerically intensive tasks, created over the decades in these languages and it would be too expensive to reprogram them in a different language.
  
  Java, however, can connect to such programs and bring to them new capabilities. For example, a Java graphical interface can bring enhanced ease of use to a Fortran or C program, which then acts as a computational engine behind the GUI.
  
  Similarly, Java's networking features can bring far greater accessiblity to these programs.

Answer 2

The benefits of Java are:

1. Write once, run anywhere 2. Security 3. Dynamic & Extensible programming 4. Internationalization 5. Performance 6. Programmer Efficiency

Answer 3

Some of the advantages of Java are: it is easy to learn, it is object oriented, it is platform independent, and is distributed. The other advantage of Java is that it is secure.

Answer 4

java follows oops concepts, so its a high reliable and platform independent ''write once run any where" ,

Answer 5

Java is platform indepedent and can multithread. These are Just a few of many advantages.
