    I was just looking into java and came across this question and cant figure it out. Could anyone help me with the answering this?
    What is the function of the Java application program interface (API)?
    Choose more than one option.
    It ensures that Java is platform independent
    It interprets compiled Java code
    It groups software into libraries of related components
    It provides components for the creation of applets

    It's the third option. Its documentation for libraries that you might use while programming. For example if you wanted to do something to a string like capitalize it you might look at the String documentation in the API. http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html

    And then look at the different methods available to Strings and you will come across the toUpperCase() method.

    They where not talking about JavaScript in that option. Java has applets which can be used on the web.
