Difference Between Java and JavaScript

1. What is Java? Java is a powerful, object-oriented programming (OOP) language developed by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle). It was first released in 1995 and is designed to be a platform-independent language that allows developers to "write once, run anywhere." This means that Java code can be written on one platform (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux) and run on any device that has a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed. The JVM translates the compiled Java bytecode into machine-specific code, making it platform-independent.
