UNIT-I Summary with Syntax
1. Introduction to Java
1.1 History of Java
Developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s.
First version (Java 1.0) was released in 1996 with the "Write Once, Run
Anywhere" promise.
Acquired by Oracle in 2010.
Major updates:
Java 8 (2014): Introduced lambdas, streams, and functional programming.
Java 17 (2021): Current LTS version with advanced features like sealed
classes and pattern matching.
1.2 Key Features of Java
Platform Independence: Code runs on any machine with JVM.
Object-Oriented: Everything is based on objects and classes.
Strongly Typed: Type safety ensures fewer runtime errors.
Automatic Memory Management: Garbage collector manages memory.
Security: Secure execution environment using class loaders and bytecode
verification.
Rich Standard Library: Extensive built-in libraries for various tasks.
Multi-threading: Supports concurrent execution.
Exception Handling: Handles runtime errors gracefully.
1.3 Getting Started with Java
1. Installing JDK:
Download and install the JDK from Oracle or OpenJDK.
2. Choosing an IDE:
Examples: IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, VS Code.
3. Writing and Running a Java Program:
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Summary - Java 1
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}
Compile: javac HelloWorld.java
Run: java HelloWorld
4. Learning Basics:
Variables, data types, operators, and control structures.
2. Java Programs
2.1 Types of Java Programs
Java Application:
Standalone program that runs on the operating system.
Has a main() method.
public class MyApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("This is a Java application.");
}
}
Java Applet:
Small program embedded in web pages (deprecated since Java 9).
Lifecycle managed by the browser or applet viewer.
Key Differences:
Feature Java Application Java Applet
Execution Runs standalone Embedded in browser
main() Required Not required
Access Full system access Restricted access
3. Variables
3.1 Declaring and Initializing Variables
int number; // Declaration
number = 10; // Initialization
int count = 20; // Declaration + Initialization
3.2 Types of Variables
1. Local Variables:
Declared within methods or blocks.
Summary - Java 2
Example:
public void display() {
int localVar = 5; // Local variable
System.out.println(localVar);
}
2. Instance Variables:
Belong to an instance of a class.
Example:
class MyClass {
int instanceVar; // Instance variable
}
3. Static Variables:
Shared by all instances of a class.
Example:
class MyClass {
static int staticVar = 10;
}
3.3 Naming Conventions
Use camelCase for variables:
int studentAge;
4. Operators
4.1 Common Operators and Examples
Arithmetic Operators:
int sum = 5 + 10; // Addition
int product = 5 * 2; // Multiplication
Assignment Operators:
int x = 10;
x += 5; // Equivalent to x = x + 5
Relational Operators:
Summary - Java 3
boolean isEqual = (5 == 5); // true
boolean isGreater = (10 > 5); // true
Logical Operators:
boolean result = (true && false); // false
Ternary Operator:
int max = (a > b) ? a : b;
4.2 Operator Precedence
Parentheses () have the highest precedence.
5. Data Types
5.1 Primitive Data Types
int age = 25; // Integer
float price = 10.5f; // Floating-point number
char grade = 'A'; // Character
boolean isJavaFun = true; // Boolean
5.2 Non-Primitive Data Types
Arrays:
int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3};
Classes and Objects:
MyClass obj = new MyClass();
Interfaces:
interface MyInterface {
void performAction();
}
6. Tokens
6.1 Types of Tokens
1. Keywords:
Reserved words like class , public , void .
2. Identifiers:
Summary - Java 4
Names given to variables, methods, classes.
3. Literals:
Constants like "Hello" or 123 .
4. Operators:
Symbols like + , , = .
5. Special Symbols/Separators:
{ } , [ ] , ( ) , ; .
6.2 Example with Tokens
public class Example { // Keywords: public, class
int x = 10; // Identifier: x, Literal: 10
}

Unit 1 introduces the basics of Java, including:
1. History and features of Java.
2. Differences between applications and applets.
3. Usage of variables, operators, and data types.
4. The concept of tokens, which are the building blocks of a Java program.

button.addActionListener(e -> System.out.println("Button clic
ked!"));
MouseEvent with MouseListener :
addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("Mouse clicked at: " + e.getPoint
());
}
});
KeyEvent with KeyListener :
addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
