Unit 1
Java Introduction

¤ OOP CONCEPT ¤

● Encapsulation
● Inheritance
● Polymorphism

1. Encapsulation

The mechanism of providing protection to data & methods of a

program is called Encapsulation.

Class
Private
Data
Public
Method
Public

Private

Communication Channel to External Components
Access to External
Components
Data

● Access Specifiers
1. Default (Friendly)

2. Public

3. Private

4. Protected

2. Inheritance

A class acquire the property of another class is called

Inheritance.

Note: Java provides Multilevel Inheritance but doesn’t

provide directly Multiple Inheritance.

● Inheritance provides reusability.

● Java is providing concept of abstract class.

3. Polymorphism

To take more than one form is called Polymorphism.

Ex. 1) Method Overloading

2) Method Overriding

¤ Features of Java Language ¤

Java language has some special features, using which

programmer write fast, complex, safe and robust (strong) program.

Some of such important features are:

Safe:
1.

Java does not provide any pointer like C & C++. So a

memory location of system can not be access thought Java
ShareBCA.Com JAVA By Aadil Keshwani

program, therefore any program develop in Java can not be use

hack a system.

2. Robust:
Errors that occur at runtime can easily handle in Java.

Java provides Exception Handling features to over many

runtime problems, like divide by 0, memory out of range, file not
found, etc.

With use of Exception Handling Feature user can properly exit

from program.

3.Multithreaded:
Java language provides an environment by which several task
can be initiated and managed easily, such a feature is called
Multithreaded.

4.Architecture Neutral / Platform Independent:

A program written & compile in one platform can run other
platform and running under any type of O.S.

5.Internet Ready:
Java has several classes for Internet Programming, which can
be used for client server programming.

6.Simple:
Java is using syntax like C & C++ and that’s why Java is
simple language.

¤ Types of Java Language ¤

Using Java language 2 types of program can be written.

Application Program
1.

Java can be use for writing programs that run in PC under the control
of the O.S. in that machine. Such programs are called Application
Program.

Applet Program
2.

Programs can be written & compile to give what is called

Bytecodes.

This bytecode can be downloaded from server & run under control
of local O.S. Such programs are called Applet Program.

Java provides one type of application which is GUI base & used in
Internet Programming to show different colors images or different
multimedia effects is called Applet Programs.

¤ Java Architecture ¤

● Bytecode is intermediate code.

● Object file is H/W dependent, but class file is not H/W dependent.

● Java is portable from Bytecode & JVM.

● JVM providing Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler.

Java Architecture

Java programming environment is based on four technologies.

ShareBCA.Com JAVA By Aadil Keshwani

● Java source program is created using the features of java

language.

● The source program is compiling using java compiler & java class
file is created.

● The class file is in form of bytecode.

● Bytecode is independent from O/S & H/W.

● Java Virtual Machine executes Java class file and Java API require
for Java class file.

● Java API interacts with local O/S and API files have native
methods.

● The combination of JVM & API is called Java platform.

● Java platform is different for different machine.

● Through different platform Java program should to write once,

compile once and run any where.

● The variation in the H/W environment is taken by different JVM for

different machines leaving in the source program compitable to all
types of machine.

● And so Java program becomes platform independent.

Byte code (Definition)

Byte code is instruction that is not for any specific CPU.

They are design to interpret by JVM.

Java Environment
ShareBCA.Com JAVA By Aadil Keshwani

Java is proving JDK-Java Development Kit to compile Java

source code. It provides number of commands.

Unit 2
Java Language Overview

¤ Literals ¤

Entities that do not change their values in a program are

called literal or constants.
ShareBCA.Com JAVA By Aadil Keshwani

¤ Data Types ¤
ShareBCA.Com JAVA By Aadil Keshwani

● In Java all types are sign and take positive & negative values.

● The range of integer value for all integer type is defined by Java
language and does not depend on the computer on which the
members are generated.

● The width of each type is prefixed and is platform independent.

● In Java character is 16 bit code, therefore it can represent 65536

disting characters.

● This 16 bit representation of character is called Unicode, which

covered large set of language characters in the world. (What is
Unicode? Superset of ASCII)

● Java support Boolean values true & false.

● True & false are not associated with any numerical value.

 Default values for basic types

Data Types Default Values

Char Null
Byte 0
Short 0
Int 0
Long 0L
Float 0.0F
Double 0.0D
Boolean False

¤ Variables ¤

Variables, as the name indicate take different values

during the execution of program.

 Rules

1. A variable is combination of letter, number, underscore (_) &

dollar sign ($).
2. There is no maximum limit on the total no. of character that form
the variable.

Chapter 3
The Structure of a Java Program

 Print Single Line

Class FirstProg
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println(“First Program.”);
}
}

● Package name start with small letter.

● Class name start with capital letter.

● Method name, first word is always small letter and first char of
second word is capital letter.

● By default lang package is imported in all programs.

Why main method in Java is public?

ShareBCA.Com JAVA By Aadil Keshwani

1. All application programs must contain main method.

2. The main method is executed first.

3. A list of string type can be passed in to program thought

arguments array in command line.

4. Void: The word void is a key-word and informs that the main
method being not return anything.

5. Public: Public is an access specifier. We access main method

outside of class than it must be public, so main method is public.

6. Static: Static is specific the storage type.

When we are calling main method, no object is created and if

we want to call main method without an object than it must be
static.

7. System.out refers standard output stream.

8. System.out is object of type print stream.

¤ Comments ¤

How java is supported comment?

1. Single line comment (// … //)

ShareBCA.Com JAVA By Aadil Keshwani

2. Multi line comment (/* … */)

3. Documentation comment (/** … */)

¤ Expressions & Statements ¤

Java expression consists of variable & literals separated by

operators.

Ex. a+b, a*b, a*b/3+c

When a Java expression is assign to a variable it becomes a

statements.

Ex. X= a*b/3+c

¤ Type Conversion ¤

Java has mechanism to handle different types present in an

expression chasing evaluation of expression or while assignment.

Java does type conversion thought two mechanisms.

ShareBCA.Com JAVA By Aadil Keshwani

1. Automatic Promotion
2. Type Casting

1. Automatic Promotion (Widening)

Java automatically converts variables or literals of lower

precession type to a higher precession type during evaluation of the
expression or during assignment, this is knows as automatic promotion
or widening.

Byte & short type are automatically converted to integer in an

expression.

 Valid Type Conversion

Source Type Destination Type

Byte Short, int, long, float,
Double
Byte 0
Short 0
Int 0
Long 0L
Float 0.0F
Double 0.0D
Boolean False
