Legal Definitions - COM

Term: COM

Definition:com.abbr.COMPANY

Explanation: In computer programming, COM stands for Component Object Model. It is a binary interface standard for software components introduced by Microsoft. In Java, the package naming convention is used to organize classes into namespaces. The convention is to use the reverse domain name of the company as the package name. For example, if a company named "ABC" creates a Java class, the package name would be com.abc.

Example: If a company named "XYZ" creates a Java class, the package name would be com.xyz.

Illustration: The example shows how the package naming convention is used to organize classes into namespaces. By using the reverse domain name of the company as the package name, it ensures that the package name is unique and avoids naming conflicts with other packages.
