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 the Virtual Machine (JVM) on whichever platform it is being run on. Thus when you write a piece of Java code in a particular platform and generated an executable code .class file. You can execute/run this .class file on any system the only condition is that the target system should have JVM (JRE) installed in it. In short, Java compiler generates an architecture-neutral ...

You have to use the fdatasync(fd) function to force write of file with filedescriptor fd to disk. It does not force update of metadata. Also note that this is only available on Unix.A more cross platform solution would be to use fsync(fd) as it force write of file with filedescriptor fd to disk. On Unix, this calls the native fsync() function; on Windows, the MS _commit() function.Exampleimport os, sys # Open a file fd = os.open( "foo.txt", os.O_RDWR|os.O_CREAT ) os.write(fd, "This is test") # Now you can use fsync() method. os.fsync(fd) # Now read this file from the beginning os.lseek(fd, ...

A fully object-oriented language needs to have all the 4 oops concepts. In addition to that, all predefined and, user-defined types must be objects and, all the operations should be performed only by calling the methods of a class.Though java follows all the four object-oriented concepts,Java has predefined primitive data types (which are not objects).You can access the members of a static class without creating an object of it.Therefore, Java is not considered as fully object-oriented Technology.
