What is the difference beteen the java and javascript?
Hello Friend,
Difference:
1) Java is a Object Oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems, while JavaScript is a scripting language that was introduced by Netscape.
2) Java creates applications that run in a virtual machine while JavaScript code is run on a browser only.
3) Java code needs to be compiled while JavaScript code are all in text.
4) Java can only be used as a back-end language within a web environment while Javascript is used for front-end web development.
5) Java follows strong type checking where as Javascript is very flexible in datatype(loosly typed). Ex : Variables in Java: int num;String st; Variables in Javascript: var name;
6) Java support function declarations, with accessibility specifiers,parameter datatype,return type while Javascript does not.
Ex: function declaration in java: public int functionName(int no){ } function declaration in javascript: function fcnName(str){ }
Thanks
