Line 6: The '''syntax of Java''' is [[syntax\|the set of rules]] defining how a [[Java (programming language)\|Java]] program is written and interpreted. The [[Syntax (programming languages)\|syntax]] is mostly derived from [[C (programming language)\|C]] and [[C++]]. Unlike in C++, in Java there are no global functions or variables, but there are data members which are also regarded as [[global variable]]s. All code belongs to [[class (computer science)\|classes]] and all values are [[object (computer science)\|objects]]. The only exception is the [[primitive types]], which are not ~~represented~~considered byto abe ~~class instance~~objects for performance reasons (though can be automatically converted to objects and vice versa via [[#Boxing and unboxing\|autoboxing]]). Some features like [[operator overloading]] or [[unsigned integer]] types are omitted to simplify the language and to avoid possible programming mistakes. The Java syntax has been gradually extended in the course of numerous major [[JDK]] [[Java version history\|releases]], and now supports capabilities such as [[generic programming]] and [[function literals]] (called lambda expressions in Java). Since 2017, a new JDK version is released twice a year, with each release bringing incremental improvements to the language.
