 Java programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s.
Java can be considered a less pure object-oriented programming language than for instance Ruby or Smalltalk because it makes certain compromises (such as the fact that not all values are objects) for performance reasons.
This text focuses on the principles and fundamentals of programming languages and computers in general, and uses Java as it's language of instruction.

 Dispelling Java programming language myths
In Java programming, when an object reference is a parameter to a method, you pass a copy of the reference (pass by value), not the reference itself.
The Java programming language has primitive types and object references; and, therefore, it is logical to think that Java programming uses pass by value for the primitive types and pass by reference for references, much like C++.
Therefore, in one sense, the Java programming language is pass by reference.

 The Java programming language
Most computer languages are compiled from source code into machine language specific to the computer on which they will run.
In object programs, work is done by message-passing among autonomous objects, derived by analysis of the entities in the real-world problem domain.
Java still has the distinction between value and reference, but it is handled automatically: "primitive" types (such as integers) are always accessed by value, complex types (objects and arrays) are always accessed by reference.

 Sun's Java Programming Language
A Java program source file is run through the Java compiler to produce a byte code program file.
In reality it is a semi-compiled, interpreted computer programming language.
To run the program you must invoke the interpreter to read and act upon the instructions in the byte code file.

 Java Programming Language Basics
programming language recognizes that a certain amount of storage must be allocated and is able to interpret the contents of that storage.
programming language treats variables that are declared as having a class type as references, and this has consequences for the meaning of assignment.
In the Java programming language, an array is an object even when the array is made up of primitive types, and as with other class types, the declaration does not create the object itself.

 Java™ Programming Language, The, 4th Edition - $34.99

Chapter 7--Tokens, Values and Variables--describes the tokens of the language from which statements are constructed, the types defined by the language and their allowed values, and the variables that are used to store data either in objects, arrays or locally within methods.
Other groups use it as a general-purpose programming language for projects in which machine independence is less important.
