Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed
to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming
language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere (WORA), meaning that
compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for
recompilation. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on
any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of the underlying computer architecture.
