Java Programming


JAVA could be an important advance in software technology; it enables you
to build platform-independent programs that execute in a wide variety of hardware
and software environment. I pointed out that one important environment in which JAVA
is found is the Internet. Web pages can include references to small JAVA programs
known as applets that are dynamically retrieved from a Web server and downloaded
to a user’s machine.

The next two questions consist of general knowledge that you must have and it will be
relevant for the foundation in this course. You can find some of the answers or clues in
