    java is OOP, object oriented programming...

    objects meaining differnet classes with specific states and behaviours, they share code, interact as designed, output on GUI, or Dos console..



    as for top-down, i'm not so sure

    Java is like C++. You can develop it to be designed to run top-down, that is, start at on point and run down through the code. You can also create event driven programs that will wait for user responses and act accordingly.

    So to answer your question, yes is is a top down language but at the same time it is not. True top down languages would be COBOL or Basic.

    Hope that helps
