CHAPTER

18 Exploring java.lang

This chapter discusses classes and interfaces defined by java.lang. As you know, java.lang is automatically imported into all programs. It contains classes and interfaces that are fundamental to virtually all of Java programming. It is Java’s most widely used package. Beginning with JDK 9, all of java.lang is part of the java.base module.

java.lang includes the following classes:

Images

java.lang defines the following interfaces:

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.
