Java is one of the most popular programming languages and used by millions of developer worldwide. It is a general-purpose programming language that features object-oriented approach. Since its first appearance in 1995, it has always been among top languages in the field despite being much older. It is intended to let programmer and developers “Write Once, Run Anywhere” (WORA), meaning that java program can run on all the platforms that support java without the need of recompilation.

Java was originally developed by Canadian James Gosling at Sun Microsystems  (which has since been acquired by Oracle) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Javaplatform. The latest version is Java 11, released on September 25, 2018, which is a currently supported long-term support (LTS) version by Oracle. Since Java 9 is no longer supported, Oracle advises its users to "immediately transition" to Java 11.
