Foil 46 Java Features -- It's Object-oriented

From Introduction to Java to be used in (Scientific) Computing CEWES Java Tutorial -- Spring Semester 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Nancy McCracken


1 Java model can be viewed as a C++ subset, with some dynamic elements inherited from Objective-C (method overloading, garbage collection).
2 Structures, Unions and Functions are absorbed into data and methods of Java classes -- Java is Simple!
3 The strength of Java object-oriented model is not is sophistication but in simplicity and the extensive class library associated with the system
4 Java object structure makes all programming including scientific programming easier
  • Fortran90 has some object oriented features but much less elegant than that of Java
  • so go from Fortran77 to Java and not Fortran77 to Fortran90
