Second Generation Computer Programs
introduction of assembly languages
enables the programmers to use mnemonic names
for the machine instructions and symbolic names
for memory locations.
A translator called the assembler converts
assembly language programs into machine code

Third Generation Languages :
High level languages such as BASIC, Fortran,
Pascal, and C eliminate the close ties to the CPUs
machine instructions
Provide standard data types such as integers,
floating point numbers, and characters etc.,
Instructions are user friendly
Compilers are available to translate these high- level
language instructions to machine instructions.

Introduction to Java
Introduction to Java
Java was developed by James Gosling at Sun
Microsystems in 1991.
His Original Aim was to develop a low cost,
Hardware Independent Language based on C++.
Due to technical reasons that idea was dropped .
A new programming Language called Oak was
developed based on C++ .
Kasun@cmb.ac.lk Kasun@cmb.ac.lk UCSC 2005. All rights reserved. No part of this material may be reproduced and sold.
11
The language oak was developed by removing
undesirable features of C++.
Those features include:
Multiple inheritance
Automatic type conversions
Use of pointers & memory management.
By 1994 the World Wide Web Emerged and Oak was
Re-named as Java.

The Java language was successfully used to develop a
web browser called WebRunner and Java/Hotjava project
was commenced.
In early 1995, Hotjava,Java,Java Documentation and
Source code was made available over the web as an
alpha version.
In December 1995, beta version2 of Java was released.

Creating a Java Source File
Any plain text editor or text editor capable of saving
in ASCII format can be used to create a Source file
Examples are DOS EDIT, Notepad etc.
Source File should be saved with a .java extension
/* This program display I Love Java on the computer
screen
*/
Class ILoveJava {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(I Love Java);
}
}

Compiling and Running the Source File
First set the Java Environment
Setting The Path
Settings->control Panel->System->advanced
->Environment Variables
In case of Java 1.4.1, PATH & CLASSPATH should be
PATH ;\C:\J2SDK1.4.1_01\BIN\
. Indicates any existing paths
CLASSPATH =C:\ J2SDK1.4.1_01\ classes.zip;.;
