Like int pedal = 1;This statement exists a field named "pedal" that holds the numerical value as 1. The value assigned to a variable determines its data type, on which the legal operations of java are performed.

Platform independent: Unlike many other programming languages including C and C++ when Java is compiled, it is not compiled into platform specific machine, rather into platform independent byte code. This byte code is distributed over the web and interpreted by virtual Machine (JVM) on whichever platform it is being run. Simple :Java is designed to be easy to learn. If you understand the basic concept of OOP java would be easy to master. Secure...
