abstract: Java is considered a unique language and many of its
properties are also found in other languages. The extensive usage of
Java language by programmers indicates that the Sun Microsystems have
founded the right amalgam of sophistication and functionality. Java is
actually derived from C++ language which increases the complexity of
software with its features. However, the origin of Java is C++ and it
uses many of its features by eliminating the drawback found in origin
language. Java has eliminated direct memory access, pointers, multiple
inheritance and pointers etc. Java was integrated with the support for
World Wide Web and made it lucrative for the purpose of programming over
network. One of the main benefits which is associated with Java language
is object orientation. Primitive languages such as Pascal, C and Basic
are referred as procedural languages. These languages however offer the
programming facilities to devise the software but they do not provide
them in efficient way and do not provide robustness in nature. While
Java devise software by keeping the concept of objects and classes under
consideration. Classes contain the member of class along with the data
and methods which further work upon the data. Java is actually object
oriented in nature, however; there also exist many other object oriented
languages such as Visual Basic, C++, Smalltalk and Delphi. (Reilly,
Reilly, 2002) Programmers happily adopt object oriented languages as
they provide safety and ease as compared primitive procedural languages.
One of the positive aspects of Java language is its simplicity as
programmers refrain from using C++ due to complexity as it allows the
direct memory access, dangling pointers and explicit memory
de-allocation and allocation for structures and objects. Furthermore,
Java supports inheritance but disallow the multiple
