                  We use various types of applications to carry out different tasks, such as drawing, writing documents,
                  and creating presentations. These applications are also known as computer programs. A computer
                  program can be described as a series of instructions intended to accomplish a specific task. The
                  process of creating a program is called coding or programming.
                  We use various languages, such as Hindi, English, Gujarati, etc., to communicate with one another.
                  However, a computer cannot understand these languages. Therefore, we need a specialised
                  language to communicate with the computer. This language is called a programming language. All
                  the software running on a computer is developed using different programming languages. There
                  are primarily two types of programming languages: procedural and object-oriented.
                  A procedural language focuses on a sequence of instructions, using functions or procedures to
                  perform tasks in an orderly manner. Examples of procedural programming languages include C,
                  BASIC, and FORTRAN. Conversely, an object-oriented language is a type of programming language
                  that organises code around objects and classes. Examples of object-oriented programming
                  languages include C++, Java, and Python.

                     INTRODUCING JAVA

                  Java is an object-oriented, high-level programming language. It was developed by James Gosling
                  and his team at Sun Microsystems and was first released in 1995. In 2010, Oracle Corporation
                  acquired Sun Microsystems, including the Java technology.
                  Originally,  Java  was  used to  create  Internet-based  applications  known  as applets.  These are
                  small applications embedded within a web page and run inside a web browser. However, Java’s
                  versatility has grown significantly, and it is now used to develop a wide variety of applications,
                  including server-side applications, enterprise software, mobile apps, etc.
