The OBJECT ORIENTED concept of programming makes it much more efficient than procedural languages. Basically, object orientation breaks the program into parts, which is decided by the programmer. Then the complete program is stored in the permanent memory and when it is executed only that part is brought to dynamic memory which is called by the programmer. Each such part is called a `class` and when it is called in the dynamic memory it is called an `object`. @@ -21,7 +22,9 @@ Java is also divided into several "Editions" : ## Installation : JDK or JRE ? -Download the latest Java binaries from the official website.
