Today, technology is a part of our daily lives, we take it for granted that we can be

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
we expect digital devices to be smarter, more functional, and way more entertaining.

In the early 90s, extending the power of network computing to the activities of
everyday life was a radical vision. In 1991, a small group of Sun Engineers called
Chakrika InfoSolutions
“Green
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Team” believed that the next wave inof
computing
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin Quality... was the union of digital con-of Quality...

sumer devices and computers. Led by James Gosling, the team worked around the clock
and created the programming language that would revolutionize our world – Java.

The Green Team demonstrated their new language with an interactive, handheld
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
home-entertainment controller that was originally targeted at the digital cable televi-

sion industry. Unfortunately, the concept was much too advanced for them at that
time. But it was just right for the Internet, which was just starting to take off. In 1995,
the team announced that the Netscape Navigator Internet browser would incorporate
Java technology.

Today, Java not only permeates the Internet, but also is the invisible force behind
many of the applications and devices that power our day-to-day lives. From mobile

The Java Programming Language
Java is an object-oriented programming language with a built-in Application
Chakrika Programming Interface
InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
(API) that can handle graphics and Chakrika
user interfacesInfoSolutions
and that can
be used to create
Origin of Quality... applications or applets. Because of its rich
Origin of Quality... set of API’s, which isOrigin

to Macintosh and Windows, and it is platform independence, Java can also be thought
of as a platform in itself. Java also has standard libraries for doing mathematics.

Simple, Object Oriented
Java, which is one of the most modern programming languages, is a mixture of
many other programming languages. Specially, the syntax in Java is very similar to C
Chakrika InfoSolutions
and C++,
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of but Java is much simple than these
Quality... languages.
Origin This simplicity, with theOrigin
of Quality... fact of Quality...
that Java is a strongly typed language, makes Java a powerful programming language.

The Java programming language is designed to be object oriented from the ground
Chakrika up. Object technology
InfoSolutions has finally found
Chakrika its way into the programming
InfoSolutions Chakrika mainstream after
InfoSolutions
a Origin
gestation period of
of Quality... thirty years. The needs of distributed, client-server
Origin of Quality... based systems
Origin of Quality...
coincide with the encapsulated, message-passing paradigms of object-based software.
To function within increasingly complex, network-based environments, programming
systems must adopt object-oriented concepts. Java technology provides a clean and

platform. Chakrika InfoSolutions

Architecture Neutral and Portable
Java is interpreted. This feature enables Java to be Architecture-Neutral, or to use
an alternative term it is platform-independent. With a Java Virtual Machine (JVM),
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
you can write one program InfoSolutions
that will run on any platform. Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Because Java is Architecture Neutral, Java programs are Portable. They can be run
on any platform without being recompiled. Moreover, there are no platform-specific
features in the Java language. In some languages, such as Ada, the largest integer var-
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
ies on different platforms. InfoSolutions
But in Java, Chakrika
the range of the integer InfoSolutions
is the same on every
platform, as is the behavior of arithmetic. The fixed range of the numbers makesOrigin

the of Quality...
program portable. The Java environment is portable to new hardware and operating
systems. In fact, the Java compiler itself is written in Java.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Robust and Secure
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Robust means reliable. No programming language can ensure complete reliability.
Java puts a lot of emphasis on early checking for possible errors, because Java compil-
ers can detect many problems that would first shown up at execution time in other
languages. Java has eliminated certain types of error-prone programming constructs
Chakrika InfoSolutions
found
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origininofother languages. It does not support
Quality... pointers,
Origin for example, thereby eliminat-
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
ing the possibility of overwriting memory and corrupting data. Java has a runtime
exception-handling feature to provide programming support for robustness. Java forces
the programmer to write the code to deal with exceptions. Java can catch and respond
to an exceptional situation so that the program can continue its normal execution and
Chakrika InfoSolutions
terminate gracefullyChakrika
when a runtimeInfoSolutions
error occurs. Chakrika InfoSolutions

As an Internet programming language, Java is used in a network and distributed

environment. If you download a Java applet and run it on your computer, it will not
damage your system because Java implements several security mechanisms to pro-

security is based on the

Interpreted
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
You need an interpreter to run Java programs. The programs are compiled into the
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Java Virtual Machine code called bytecode. The bytecode is machine-independent and
can run on any machine that has a Java interpreter, which is part of the Java Virtual
Machine (JVM). Most compilers, including C++ compilers, translate programs in a
Chakrika high-level languageChakrika
InfoSolutions to machine code. The code can only runChakrika

machine. If

For instance, if you compile a C++ program in Windows, the executable code gener-
ated by the compiler can only run on the Windows platform. With Java, you compile
the source code once, and the bytecode generated by a Java compiler can run on any
Chakrika platform with a JavaChakrika
InfoSolutions interpreter. The

Together, the Java virtual machine and Java API form a “platform” for which all

the specification is flexible enough to allow a Java virtual machine to be implemented
either completely in software or to varying degrees in hardware. The flexible nature of

of computers and devices.

A Java virtual machine’s main job is to load class files and execute the bytecodes
which they contain. As you can see in Figure 1-3, the Java virtual machine contains a
class loader, which loads class files from both the program and the Java API. Only those
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
class files from the Java InfoSolutions
API that are Chakrika
actually needed by a running programInfoSolutions
are loaded

into the virtual machine. The bytecodes are executed in an execution engine.

Figure 1-3. A basic block diagram of the Java virtual machine.

The execution engine is part of the virtual machine that can vary in different imple-

mentations. In a Java Chakrika InfoSolutions
virtual machine, Chakrika
the simplest kind of execution engineInfoSolutions
just inter-
prets theofbytecodes

Origin ofQuality...
execution engine, one that is faster
Origin of Quality...
but requires more memory, is a just-in-time compiler. In this scheme, the bytecodes
of a method are compiled to native machine code at the first time when the method is
invoked. The native machine code for the method is then cached, so it can be re-used
Chakrika InfoSolutions
for next time whenChakrika
the same methodInfoSolutions
is invoked. A third typeChakrika InfoSolutions
of execution engine is
an adaptive optimizer. In this approach, the virtual machine starts by interpreting
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
bytecodes, but monitors the activity of the running program and identifies the most
heavily used areas of code. As the program runs, the virtual machine compiles the
native and optimizes just the heavily used areas. The rest of the code, which is not heav-
Chakrika InfoSolutions
ily used, remains asChakrika
bytecode which InfoSolutions Chakrika
the virtual machine continues InfoSolutions
to interpret. This
adaptive

Java virtual machine to spend typically 80
of Quality... to of Quality...
Origin
90% of its time executing highly optimized native code, while requiring it to compile
and optimize only 10 to 20% of the code that really matters to performance. Lastly, in
a Java virtual machine built on top of a chip that executes Java bytecodes natively then
Chakrika InfoSolutions
the execution engine Chakrika InfoSolutions
is actually embedded in the chip. Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
When running on a Java virtual machine that is implemented in software on top
of a host operating system, a Java program interacts with the host by invoking native
methods. In Java, there are two kinds of methods: Java and native. A Java method is
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
written in the Java language, InfoSolutions
compiled Chakrika
to bytecode, and stored InfoSolutions
in class files. A native
method is written in some other language, such as C, C++, or assembly, and compiled
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
to the native machine code of a particular processor. Native methods are stored in a
dynamically linked library whose exact form is platform specific. While Java methods
are platform independent, native methods are not. When a running Java program it
Chakrika InfoSolutions
calls a native method,Chakrika InfoSolutions
the virtual machine loads the dynamic Chakrika InfoSolutions
library that contains the
native method and
Origin of Quality... invokes it. As you can see in Figure 1-4,
Origin of Quality... native methods are the

connection between a Java program and an underlying host operating system.

The Class Loader Architecture
One aspect of the Java virtual machine that plays an important role in both security

InfoSolutions is the class loader
Chakrika architecture. In theChakrika

of Figures

Quality... Origin itself as “the class loader,” but in reality
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
there may be more than one class loader inside a Java virtual machine. Thus the class
loader cube of the block diagram actually represents a subsystem that may involve
many class loaders. The Java virtual machine has a flexible class loader architecture
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
that allows a Java application InfoSolutions
to load classes in custom ways. Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
A Java application can use two types of class loaders: a bootstrap class loader
and user-defined class loaders. The bootstrap class loader is a part of the Java virtual
machine implementation. For example, if a Java virtual machine is implemented as a C

program on top of an

At run-time, a Java application can install user-defined class loaders that load
classes in custom ways, such as by downloading class files across a network. While
the bootstrap class loader is an intrinsic part of the virtual machine implementation,

user-defined class loaders are not.InfoSolutions Chakrika
Instead, user-defined class loaders areInfoSolutions

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Because of user-defined InfoSolutions
class loaders, you don’t have toChakrika InfoSolutions
know the compile-time of
all the classes that ultimately take part in running a Java application. User-defined class
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
loaders enable you to dynamically extend a Java application at run-time. As it runs,
your application can determine what extra classes it needs and load them through one
or more user-defined class loaders. Because you write the class loader in Java, you can
Chakrika InfoSolutions
load classes in any Chakrika
a Origin
network
InfoSolutions
manner expressible in Java code. You can
and get them out of some kindOrigin
of database,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
download them across
or even calculate them onOrigin
the of Quality...
of Quality... of Quality...
fly.

The Java virtual machine keeps track of which class loader is used, whether boot-
Chakrika InfoSolutions
strap or user-defined Chakrika InfoSolutions
is loaded in the class. When a loaded Chakrika
class first refersInfoSolutions
to another
class, theofvirtual
Origin machine requests the referenced
Quality... Origin ofclass from the same class loaderOrigin
Quality... that of Quality...
originally loaded the referencing class. For example, if the virtual machine loads class
Volcano through a particular class loader, it will attempt to load any classes; Volcano
refers to the same class loader. If Volcano refers to a class named Lava, perhaps by
Chakrika InfoSolutions
invoking a method Chakrika InfoSolutions
in class Lava, the Chakrika
virtual machine will request Lava fromInfoSolutions
the class
loader
Originthat loaded Volcano. The Lava class
of Quality... returned
Origin by the class loader is dynamically
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
linked with class Volcano.

Because the Java virtual machine takes this approach to loading classes, classes
Chakrika InfoSolutions
can by default only Chakrika InfoSolutions
see other classes that were loaded by the Chakrika InfoSolutions
same class loader. In this

which is populated by the names of all the classes it has loaded.

A Java application InfoSolutions

and cannot gain access to each other unless the application explicitly allows it. When
you write a Java application, you can segregate classes loaded from different sources
into different name-spaces. In this way, you can use Java’s class loader architecture to

control any interaction InfoSolutions
between codes loaded from differentChakrika InfoSolutions

One example of dynamic extension is the web browser, which uses user-defined
class loaders to download the class files for applets across a network. A web browser
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
fires off a Java application InfoSolutions
that installs a user-defined classChakrika InfoSolutions
loader--usually called an
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
applet class loader which knows how to request class files from an HTTP server. Origin of Quality...
Applets are an example of dynamic extension, because the Java application doesn’t
know when it starts which class files the browser will ask it to download across the
network. The class files used to download are determined at run-time, as the browser
Chakrika InfoSolutions
encounters pages that Chakrika
contain JavaInfoSolutions
applets. Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The Java application started by the web browser usually creates a different user-
defined class loader for each location on the network from which it retrieves class files.
As a result, class files from different sources are loaded by different user-defined class
Chakrika InfoSolutions
loaders. This placesChakrika InfoSolutions
them into different name-spaces insideChakrika InfoSolutions
the host Java application.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Because the class files for applets from different sources are placed in separate name-
spaces, the code of a malicious applet is restricted from interfering directly with class
files downloaded from any other source.

Chakrika InfoSolutions
By allowing you Chakrika InfoSolutions
to instantiate user-defined Chakrika
class loaders that know how toInfoSolutions
download

class files across a network, Java’s class loader architecture supports network-mobility.
It supports security by allowing you to load class files from different sources through
different user-defined class loaders. This puts the class files from different sources into
different name-spaces, which allows you to restrict or prevent access between codes

sources. InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

More about “MyFirstApp” Application
Now that you’ve seen the “MyFirstApp” application, we will see it detail now. Here
Chakrika InfoSolutions
is its code: Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
//My First Java Application

class MyFirstApp
Chakrika InfoSolutions
{ Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
{
System.out.println(“Welcome to Chakrika!”);
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions
} Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The “MyFirstApp.java” application consists of three primary components: source
code comments the My First App class definition, and the main method. The follow-
ing explanation will provide you with a basic understanding of the code.

Source Code Comments
The following bold text defines the comments of the “MyFirstApp.java”
application:

Comments are ignored by the compiler but are useful to other programmers. The
Java programming language supports three kinds of comments:

/* text */
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
The compiler ignores InfoSolutions
everything from /* to */. Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
/** documentation */

This indicates a documentation comment (doc comment, for short). The com-
Chakrika InfoSolutions
piler ignores thisChakrika InfoSolutions
kind of comment, just like it ignores Chakrika
comments thatInfoSolutions
use /* and
Origin of Quality...

javadoc tool uses doc comments of Quality... Origin of Quality...
preparing automatically gener-
ated documentation. For more information on javadoc, see the Javadoc tool

As with all modern programming languages, Java supports several types of data.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
You can use these types to declare variables. In this chapter we see in detail.

to a data type and this again makes it possible for java to maintain such complex robust-

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

The Java data type InfoSolutions
can be categories into: Chakrika InfoSolutions

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Primitive Datatypes
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Primitive data types also known as Simple type which can store a single value at a

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

1. Four of them are IntegerInfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
types (byte, short, int, long)

3. One is the Character type (char), used for code units in the Unicode encoding
scheme
4. One is a Boolean type for truth values. (boolean)
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
You can use these types as-is or your own class types. Thus, they form the basis for
all other types of data that you can create.

Let’s take these

Chakrika InfoSolutions four categories

Integer Types
Java defines four integer types: byte, short, int, and long. All of these are signed,
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
positive and negative InfoSolutions
values. Java Chakrika
does not support unsigned, InfoSolutions
positive-only integers.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The int type is the most practical in use. If you want to represent the number of
birds in world you’ll need to resort to a long. The byte and short types are mainly
intended for some specialized applications.

float is used for storing number with decimal. float specifies a single-precision
value that uses 32 bit size for storage. It is used to save memory in large arrays of float-
ing point values. Single precision is faster on some processors and takes half as much
space as double precision. This data type should never be used for precise values, such
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
as currency. For that, you will needInfoSolutions Chakrika
to use the java.math.BigDecimal class InfoSolutions

It is used to store character.
char in Java is not the same as char in C or C++. In C/C++, char size is 8 bit where
in java it is 16 bit Unicode character. Unicode defines fully international character set
that can represent all the characters found in all languages.

Integers the most commonly used type in the programs. They are the whole num-
ber with base 10. Example: 255, 1002, 12345678. Integer also support two more base
type, octal with base 8 and hexadecimal with base 16. These types are differentiated

from normal
Chakrika InfoSolutions

numbers
Chakrika InfoSolutions

hexadecimal.

E.g. int a = 012, b=0xFA;

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
In the above example you may notice that integer variable a which has the octal

value which is precede by ‘0’ and integer variable b has a hexadecimal value which
precede ‘0x’.

Note: In the hexadecimal

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika precede character X may

Java accepts
Origin both letters as a precedent. Origin of Quality...

Java is strongly typed, you might be wondering how it is possible to assign an integer
literal to one of Java’s other integer types, such as byte or short, without causing a type
Chakrika InfoSolutions
mismatch error. This Chakrika InfoSolutions
is possible when the range of the value Chakrika InfoSolutions
is with in their level. If it
exist theofrange

it may cause an error. AlsoOrigin
Quality... can be assigned to a long variable,
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
to differentiate long literal from int you may appending an upper or lowercase L to
the literal.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

E.g. long l=34567L;
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Floating-Point Literals
Floating-point has two types, float and double. They can have whole number
component followed by a decimal point values. For example, 223.123, 453.879. In some
Chakrika InfoSolutions
place they can have Chakrika InfoSolutions
the scientific notation values, which are inChakrika InfoSolutions
exponent indicated by an
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
E or e followed by a decimal number which can be positive or negative. For examples:
12.12E-12, 34.89e+10.

The default Floating-point literals in Java are double precision. To differentiate a

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
float from the double, InfoSolutions
you must append Chakrika
an F or f at the end of the valueInfoSolutions
use assign.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
You can also specify a double literal by appending a D or d.

Boolean Literals
Boolean literals has two logical values true and false, which can been only used
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
as a value for a Boolean variable. In Java these Boolean literals does not represent any

Character Literals
Characters in Java are indices into the Unicode character set. Character literals
are represented within single quotes. Example: ‘a’, ‘4’, ‘@’. In Java Character literals also
Chakrika InfoSolutions
support several
Chakrika InfoSolutions
escape sequences, such as ‘\b’, ‘\n’

Reference Data Types

Non Primitive Data Types are also called as Reference Data Type. It is a variable which
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
stores the dynamically InfoSolutions
created objects Chakrika

are not predefined like
primitive.
Origin of The reference data types are of three

Variables
Variables are the basic unit of storage which holds the value in a Java program. A
variable is also an identifier. Variable must be declared first before it is assigned to a
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
value and Java has three InfoSolutions
kinds of variables namely, Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
•• Instance variables

•• Class variables
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Instance
Origin ofvariables
Quality...are non-static variables whichofhas
Origin a unique value for each instance
Quality... of of Quality...
Origin
a class. For example, we may tell students in a class have their own unique id for each.

Local variables are variables which are declared with in a block that is between the
Chakrika InfoSolutions
openning and closing Chakrika InfoSolutions
braces in a method. There is no specialChakrika InfoSolutions
keyword designating for
variable which
Origin of is local. These variables are
Quality... onlyofvisible
Origin to the method in which Origin
Quality... they of Quality...
are declared; they are not accessible from the rest of the class.

Class variables are static variables which tell the compiler that there is exactly one
Chakrika InfoSolutions
copy of this variableChakrika InfoSolutions
is in existence; regardless of how many Chakrika InfoSolutions
times the class has been
instantiated. For example, cars are generally

Variable Declaration
The syntax for a variable declaration is shown here:
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
type variable_name [ = value];
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Here type is data types you like to declare, or the name of a class or interface.
The variable_name is the user defined name for a variable which is used to store the
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
value. You can initialize InfoSolutions
a variable in the declaration itself byChakrika InfoSolutions
assigning value using ‘=’
sign. Youofcan
Origin declare more than one variable
Quality... Originofofsame type in single line itself byOrigin
Quality... just of Quality...
separating them by ‘,’.

Let’s see some examples of variable declarations of various types,

byte b = 65;
double salary = 12000.00;
char c = ‘B’;
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Scope of the Variables
Scope of the variable is very important in programming language. A block is code
between the opening curly brace and closing curly brace, the block defines a scope. The
Chakrika InfoSolutions
variable declared
Chakrika InfoSolutions
within the block will work within
Chakrika InfoSolutions
it not outside that block. In Origin
Java, of Quality...
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
scopes are those defined by a class and those defined by a method.

The class’s scope will be thought-out the class and it can be access by all methods
Chakrika InfoSolutions
present in it. WhereChakrika InfoSolutions
as, method’s scope Chakrika
begins with its opening curly brace InfoSolutions
and closing
curly brace.
Origin If that method has parameters,
of Quality... theyoftoo
Origin are included within the method’s
Quality... Origin of Quality...
scope.

If a block of code has an inner block the variable of the outer block can be accessed
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
by the inner block, where InfoSolutions
as the variable Chakrika
of the inner block cannot InfoSolutions
be accessed by outer
block.
OriginThe scope of the variable can be changed

types, for example while

convert one type to another. That we called as Type Conversion. Type Conversion
can be done in two ways,

Automatic Type Conversion

Chakrika InfoSolutions
When one typeChakrika InfoSolutions
of data is assigned Chakrika
to another type of variable, an automatic type
InfoSolutions
conversion will take place if the following two conditions are met:
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

•• The two types are compatible.

•• The destination type is larger than the source type.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Two types are set to be compatible when they both hold same type of values. For
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
example, short, int, long are the set to be compatible because they all belong to same
Integer Type. Automatic Type Conversion can also taken place when one type is larger
enough to store other type. For example,
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
byte of Quality...
Origin short int long
Origin of Quality... float doubl
Origin of Quality...

This hierarchy shows that the byte value can been stored in short, short in int,
int in long and so on. This means that the byte is smaller in size than short so it can
Chakrika InfoSolutions
be stored in short Chakrika
and so on. ButInfoSolutions Chakrika
the reverse is not possible, InfoSolutions
where automatic type
conversions are not carried out from int to short or short to byte.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

All thought Integer and Floating-point are two different types, they are compatible
with each other that they can store same numeric values. However, the numeric types
Chakrika InfoSolutions
are not compatible Chakrika InfoSolutions
with char or boolean. Chakrika
Also, char and boolean are not InfoSolutions

you want to convert larger size ofto

using Explicitly Type Conversion (Casting). For example, if you want to assign an

a conversion between two incompatible types, you must use a Casting. The general
Chakrika InfoSolutions
form: Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

(target-type) value

Here, target-type specifies which type we want to convert the value.

}
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
You can also define them in a more complex manner:
class classname extends YourSuperClass implements SomeInterface
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
{

Chakrika InfoSolutions
Variables in classes are Chakrika InfoSolutions
known as member Chakrika
variables and are called InfoSolutions
fields. They are composed
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
of a modifier (such as public or private), a type, and a name. An example would be:

public int StudentRegNo;

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
In the above example, the InfoSolutions
public portion Chakrika
of our declaration is known InfoSolutions
as an access modifier.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
It determines which classes have access to the member field. There are several access modifiers:

Methods
A method is an operation on a particular object. An object is an instance of a class.
Chakrika InfoSolutions
When you define aChakrika InfoSolutions
class you define its member variables Chakrika
and its methods. InfoSolutions
For each
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
method we need to give a name, we need to define its input parameters and we need to
define its return type. We also need to set its visibility (private, package, or public).

Creating a Method:
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
In general, a method has the following syntax:

A method definition consists of a method header and a method body. Here are all
the parts of a method:
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
•• Modifiers: The modifier, which is optional, tells the compiler how to call the
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
method. This defines the access type of the method.
•• Return Type: A method may return a value. The returnValueType is the data
type of the value the method returns. Some methods perform the desired opera-
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
tions without returning InfoSolutions
a value. In this Chakrika
case, the returnValueType InfoSolutions
is the keyword
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
void.
•• Method Name: This is the actual name of the method. The method name and the
parameter list together constitute the method signature.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
•• Parameters:
Origin A parameter is like a placeholder.
of Quality... When a method is invoked,Origin
Origin of Quality... you of Quality...
pass a value to the parameter. This value is referred to as actual parameter or
argument. The parameter list refers to the type, order, and number of the param-
eters of a method. Parameters are optional; that is, a method may contain no
Chakrika InfoSolutions
parameters. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
•• Method Body: The method body contains a collection of statements that define
what the method does.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Calling a Quality...
Origin of Method: Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

In creating a method, you give a definition of what the method is to do. To use a
method, you have to call or invoke it. There are two ways to call a method; the choice
Chakrika InfoSolutions
is based on whetherChakrika InfoSolutions
the method returns a value or not. Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
When a program calls a method, program control is transferred to the called
method. A called method returns control to the caller when its return statement is
executed or when its method-ending closing brace is reached.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
If the method returns a value, a call to the method is usually treated as a value. For
example:

int larger = max(10, 20);

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
If the method returns void, a call to the method must be a statement. For example,
the method println returns void. The following call is a statement:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika to

System.out.println(“Welcome InfoSolutions
Chakrika”); Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Following is the example to demonstrate how to define a method and how to call it:

If you call max with int parameters, the max method that expects int parameters
will be invoked; if you call max with double parameters, the max method that expects
double parameters will be invoked. This is referred to as method overloading; that is,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
two methods have the Chakrika
same name InfoSolutions
but different parameter Chakrika
lists within oneInfoSolutions
class.

The Java compiler determines which method is used based on the method signature.
Overloading methods can make programs clearer and more readable. Methods that
perform closely related tasks should be given the same name.

methods must have different of Quality...lists. You cannot overload

methods based on different modifiers or return types. Sometimes there are two or

ambiguous invocation.

Constructors
When you create a new instance (a new object) of a class using the new keyword,
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
a constructor for that InfoSolutions
class is called. Chakrika
Constructors are used InfoSolutions
to initialize the instance
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
variables (fields) of an object. Constructors are similar to methods, but with some
important differences.
•• Constructor name is class name. Constructors must have the same name as
Chakrika InfoSolutions
the class it’s in.Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality...
•• Default Origin
constructor. If you don’t define of Quality...for a class, a default param-
a constructor Origin of Quality...
eterless constructor is automatically created by the compiler. The default con-
structor calls the default parent constructor (super()) and initializes all instance
variables to default value (zero for numeric types, null for object references, and
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
false for booleans).
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
•• Default constructor is created only if there are no constructors. If you define
any constructor for your class, no default constructor is automatically created.
•• Differences between methods and constructors.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
o There is no return type given in a constructor signature (header).
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The value is this object itself so there is no need to indicate a return
value.
o There is no return statement in the body of the constructor.
Chakrika InfoSolutions
o The Chakrika
first line of aInfoSolutions Chakrika
constructor must either InfoSolutions
be a call on another
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
constructor in the same class (using this), or a call on the superclass
constructor (using super). If the first line is neither of these, the
compiler automatically inserts a call to the parameterless super class
constructor.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
OriginThese differences in syntax between

hard to see when looking at the source. It would have been better to have had
a keyword to clearly mark constructors as some languages do.

•• this(...) - CallsChakrika
Chakrika InfoSolutions another constructor in same class. Often
InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
a constructor with few
parameters will call a constructor with more parameters, giving default values for

Overloaded Constructors
Like methods, constructors can also be overloaded. Since the constructors in a
class all have the same name as the class name, their signatures are differentiated by
Chakrika InfoSolutions
their parameter

lists. It is possible to use this()
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Originconstruct, to implement local chaining
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
of constructors in a class. The this() call in a constructor invokes an other constructor
with the corresponding parameter list within the same class. Java requires that any
this() call must occur as the first statement in a constructor.

Origin of Quality...
that this() and super() calls cannot both occur in the same constructor. Just as the this()
construct leads to chaining of constructors in the same class, the super() construct
leads to chaining of subclass constructors to superclass constructors. If a constructor

Note: If a class only defines non-default constructors, then its subclasses will not

Invoking methods of an object
Objects communicate with other object by invoking its methods. To call an object’s
method, you need to simply append the method name to an object reference with a
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
period, “.”, and provide InfoSolutions
the arguments (if any) to the methodChakrika
within round InfoSolutions
brackets. If
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
the method does not require any arguments, just use empty brackets.

Following is the general format for invoking method:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
objectReference.methodName(argumentList);
Origin ofOR
Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
objectReference.methodName();

For example, if you use this keyword inside a method, then whenever you invoke that
method on some instance of that class, this refers to that instance. The keyword super
refers to the inherited part of the current instance. For example, if CheckingAccount

class from within the CheckingAccount class, you can do so as- super.withdraw(50).Origin of Quality...
There are certain rules of using these two keywords inside constructors.
Object creation with constructors
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
Now that you know how a class InfoSolutions Chakrika
and its members are declared InfoSolutions
let us see how you can
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
create objects from this class. Java class provides special methods called as construc-
tors. Constructors are methods that have the same name as class name and also they
do not specify any return type (not even void). Java class provides them to allow the
creation and initialization of created objects. You need to explicitly write a constructor
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
for your Java class only InfoSolutions
if want to initialize something when Chakrika InfoSolutions
the object is being created.
Origin

example, you can write a constructorOrigin of Quality...
for Account Origin of Quality...
class that will help in creating
Account objects with initial balance as 100.

public class Account

public Account(float initialBalance)
{
balance = initialBalance;
Chakrika InfoSolutions
} Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
}Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

If you need to initialize objects in different ways with different values, you can declare
multiple constructors. Each of these multiple constructors takes different arguments.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
These multiple constructors InfoSolutions
are called Chakrika
as overloaded constructors. InfoSolutions
Overloading means
that the number and type of their arguments differentiate them from each another.Origin
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... For of Quality...
example, the String class in the java.lang provides several different constructors:

public String(String) {}
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
public String(char)
public

String(byte[],int) {}
InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Each of these constructors takes different arguments with which a new String
objects will be created and gets its initial state.
Chakrika InfoSolutions
The new keyword

An object is constructed by instantiating a class. The process of creating an object
of a class is called as instantiation and the created object is called as an instance. To
create a new object, Java uses the new keyword.

Account (50) is a call to a constructor for the Account class. In this call, the account
object is created. The new keyword returns a reference account this newly created
Account object. You can then store this reference into the account variable.

Java of

When a new object is created, some memory is automatically allocated to it. You (as
a programmer) need not bother about the memory allocation issues while creating
objects. This is because Java dynamically allocates and frees the memory and this
Chakrika InfoSolutions
operation is totally Chakrika InfoSolutions
transparent to the programmer. Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The programming memory is divided into two primary areas:

created object. When the object is no more in use and is no more referred by
any references, it is not immediately destroyed. It becomes eligible for garbage
collection. Eventually the memory is freed and the object is destroyed.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
2. Stack: Stack is also a memory area. When you create object-reference variables
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
and the local variables, they are stored on the stack. They remain on stack as long
as they do not go out-of-scope. For instance, the local variables are destroyed
as soon as the declaring method or block is exited. Similarly, object-reference
variables are destroyed as soon as they go out-of-scope.

Overview
Operators are special symbols that perform specific operations during manipulation. In Java,
Chakrikaoperators

with the operands. InfoSolutions
Some operators have

single operand, some operators come after or before operand, some come normally between two
operands. These operators are categorized according to operation they perform. In Java opera-
tors are categorized into assignment, arithmetic, relational, logical and bitwise. Let see them in
details in this chapter.

Assignment Operator:
Assignment Operator is the simple operator which is used often in the Java program. It is
Chakrikadenoted by the symbol ‘=’. It is used to assign a value to a variable. The general form is shown
InfoSolutions
below. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
<variable> = <value>

E.g.: int counter=10;

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The important thing to note is that the value assigned should be compatible to the variable
type. Thus the assigned value will be stored into the memory with the name of the variable. Let 's
see an example for this,

}
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

While compiling and running this program the output will be,

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
In this example you may see that the character variable c and float variable sal are assigned
a value using the Simple Assignment Operator. The assigned values are store in the memory with
their variable names. While we print these variables the output will be print as B and 10500.0

The arithmetic operators must have two operands on their left and right side, and
they should be of numeric type. boolean types are not allowed, but char types can be
used as operands for arithmetic operators, since the char type in Java is essentially, a

Simple Arithmetic Operators

The simple arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and

The increment operator increases its operand by 1 from it current value, where as,
the decrement operator decreases its operand by 1 from it current value.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Let's see with an example,
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
a = a + 1;

Here a value is incremented to 1 and stored in a itself. This can be rewritten by

using the increment operator as,
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origina++;
of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Similarly,
a = a - 1;
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
is rewritten as a--;

These operators have two form prefix and postfix. In prefix form the operators
precedes the operand, where as, in postfix form the operand precedes the operators.
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Let's seeofwith
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
example,
Origin Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

In prefix
a = 100;
Chakrika InfoSolutions
b = ++a; Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
In the above example, the value of b is 101, because the value of a is increment
before it is assigned to b. That is, a is first increment and then that value is assigned
to b as shown below,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
a = a + 1; Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
b = a;

Where as, in postfix

Chakrika InfoSolutions
a = 100; Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
b = a++;
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

In this the value of a is first assigned to b and then only it get incremented as shown

Bitwise OR Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The Bitwise OR operator ( | ), combines bits such that if either one of the bits
in the operands is a 1, then the resultant bit is a 1. Otherwise, 0 is return. For
example:

Bitwise XOR
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
The Bitwise XOR operator (^), combines bits such that if any one operand is 1, then

Left Shift Operator
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The left shift operator (<<), is used to shift all of the bits of the integer value to the
left to a specified number as mentioned. Its general form is,

Chakrika InfoSolutions
val <<n Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Here, val is the value to be left shifted and n is the number of position to be moved
to left.

Chakrika InfoSolutions
int a=5<<2; Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Here the 5 is first convert to its binary form 101, then it is left shift to 2 positions
then the new value will be 10100. While printing a the output will be 20.

Unsigned Right Shift Operator
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Sometimes we need to right shift unsigned numeric values for example, if you are
shifting something that does not represent a numeric value, where sign is not necessary.
In these cases you will generally want to shift a zero into the high-order bit no matter
Chakrika InfoSolutions
what its initial valueChakrika InfoSolutions
was, this can be done by using unsignedChakrika InfoSolutions
right shift operator.

Here, the 10 is shifted to 2 positions then the value will be 2.

These operators are used for simplifying the expression in a program. For example,
j = j +4;
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Here, 4 is added to j and it is again stored in j itself. Since, this expression can be

simplified by addition assignment operator as,
j+=4;

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Thus, both will produce InfoSolutions

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
It is called as ternary operator (?). InfoSolutions
The ternary general formChakrika
is, InfoSolutions

Here, expression1 is any condition that returns a boolean value. If expression1

Chakrika is true, then expression2
InfoSolutions is carried

other condition is true and so on. In these cases nested if are used. The general form is,

Fromofthe

cases and the case which matches the day will been executed. All others are bypassed.
If day value does not match’s with all cases then the default statement is executed.

The break keyword is used for the termination of case when the case matches,

while
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
The while
Origin is the most fundamental looping
of Quality... Originstatement in Java. It continually executes
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
a block of statements until a particular condition is true. The general form is,
while(condition)
{
Chakrika InfoSolutions
//statements;Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}

Here, the condition is any boolean expression and statements are the code that
will be executed as long as the conditional expression is true. When condition becomes
Chakrika InfoSolutions
false, loop Chakrika
gets terminated InfoSolutions
and the control is passed to theChakrika InfoSolutions
next line of code which
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
immediately follows the loop. Like conditional statement the curly braces are not
necessary when the statement of the iteration is single line.

Let's see a simple example for this while statement,

From the example, you can see that an integer variable a is initialized by 1, and in
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
the while a is compared InfoSolutions
that it is less Chakrika
than and equal to 5. Here, InfoSolutions
the condition is true so,
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
the statement inside the while gets executed. a is increment by 1 so that the loopOrigin

terminate after execution of certain number of times as you needed. Here, the loop
executed for 5 times, after that the condition becomes false and the loop is terminated
then the control is passed to the next line. In this program there is no code after the
Chakrika InfoSolutions
loop so the program Chakrika
gets terminatedInfoSolutions Chakrika
after the condition become false. InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
In certain cases the body of the while can be empty in Java. Since, a null statement
is syntactically valid in Java. For example:

Chakrika InfoSolutions
class EmptyExChakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
{
public static void main(String ar[])

int i=1;

}
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
While compiling and running this program the output will be,
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The i value is: 11

Here the value of i is compared that whether is less than 10 and then it is incre-
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
ment by 1. In this program the while has no statements so, only the loop is executed
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
until it become false and the control is passed to next line. In next line, the value of i
is printed.

do-while
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
The do-while
Origin of Quality...loop is similar to the while loop,

end of the loop instead of giving it at the beginning. In some cases, the body of the while
will not be executed when the condition becomes false at first time itself. However,
sometimes it is desirable to execute the body of a while loop at least once, even though
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
if the conditional expression is falseInfoSolutions Chakrika
to begin with. This problem InfoSolutions
can be solved by using
the do-while loop. The do-while loop always executes its body at least once, because

its conditional expression is at the bottom of the loop. The general form is,
do

From the syntax you can see that the statement is executed first and the condition
expression is evaluated at the end only. If this expression is true, the loop will repeat.
Otherwise, the loop terminates. As with all the looping in Java, condition must be a
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Boolean expression.Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
One important thing you have to note when working with the do-while loop is
that, at the end of the while expression you can see that the line termination symbol
(;) is specified. This represents the end of the loop statement. If you fail to specify the

for
The for statement provides a compact way to iterate over a range of values.
Programmers often refer to it as the “for loop” because of the way in which it repeat-
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
edly loops until a particular InfoSolutions
condition Chakrika
is satisfied. It is the most InfoSolutions
versatile looping con-

struct. The general form is,
for(initialization; condition; iteration)
{

//statements;Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

}

From the syntax you can see that the for statement consist of three parts such as
initialization, condition and iteration. The initialization part is used to initialize the
Chakrika InfoSolutions
loop control variable Chakrika InfoSolutions
first. The condition Chakrika
part is the conditional expressionInfoSolutions
if it is true
means
Originthe code inside for will be executed,Origin
of Quality... otherwise the loop terminates. The iteration
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
part is usually an expression that increments or decrements the loop control variable.
The loop then iterates, first evaluating the conditional expression, then executing the
body of the loop, and then executing the iteration expression with each pass. This
process repeats until the conditional expression becomes false. If only one statement

Jump Statements
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin
Jumpofstatements
Quality... are used to unconditionally
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
transfer the program control from
one part to another part of the program. Java has three type jump statements: break,
continue, and return.

Chakrika InfoSolutions
break
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
A break statement is used to abort the execution of a loop. You can use a break
statement, when you want to jump immediately to the statement following the enclos-
ing control structure. The general form is,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
break label; Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

It may be used with or without a label, the label name is optional. A label is an
identifier that uniquely represents a block of code.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
You already seen InfoSolutions
that break has Chakrika
been used in switch for terminatingInfoSolutions
the switch
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
case. Likewise, break can also been used to exit a loop in certain cases.

The break is used to force immediate termination of a loop. When a break state-
ment is found inside a loop, the loop gets terminated and the program control moves
Chakrika InfoSolutions
toOrigin
the next
Chakrika InfoSolutions
statement following the loop.Origin
For example,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
of Quality... of Quality... Origin of Quality...

class breakex
{
Chakrika InfoSolutions

Control Statements 83
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The break with label form is used to break a block of code represent by that label.
It is similar to goto statement in C/C++ which is not support by Java. You can break
out of one or more blocks of code. These blocks need not be part of a loop or a switch.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
They can be any block. InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
For example,
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
class bgoto

From the program you can see that nested loop are executed and the product of
i and j are printed at each loop. When the j=5, the if statement present inside the j
Chakrika InfoSolutions
loop become true and Chakrika InfoSolutions
the break with Chakrika
label x is executed. Here, InfoSolutions
the x is the block of

outer for loop. Thus, it terminates the outer for loop and control move to next line of of Quality...
that loop.

continue
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The continue statement skips the current iteration of a for, while, or do-while
loop. You may use a continue statement when you do not want to execute the remain-
ing statements in the loop, but you do not want to exit the loop itself. The general
Chakrika InfoSolutions
form is, Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality...
continue label; Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Like break, it may be used with or without a label. When used without a label, it
causes the statement block of the innermost for, do, or while statement to terminate and

program control to the caller of a method. The general form is,
return expression;

The return statement has two forms: one that returns a value, and one that doesn’t.
If the method has any return type then the expression get evaluated and return the

Origin of Quality...

Overview
Java is an object oriented programming and to understand the functionality of OOPS in Java,
ChakrikaweInfoSolutions
first need to understandChakrika InfoSolutions
several fundamentals related to objects.Chakrika InfoSolutions
These include encapsulation,
inheritance, polymorphism,
Origin of Quality... abstraction etc. Let’sOrigin
see about these concepts in detail.
of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Encapsulation
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Encapsulation providesChakrika InfoSolutions
the basis for again modularity by hidingChakrika InfoSolutions
information from unwanted
outside access
Originand attaching that information to Origin
of Quality... only methods that need access to it. This
of Quality... bindsof Quality...
Origin
data and operations tightly together and separates them from external access that may corrupt
them intentionally or unintentionally.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Encapsulation is the technique InfoSolutions
of making the fields in a class asChakrika InfoSolutions
private and providing access
to the fields viaofpublic
Origin methods. If a field is declared
Quality... Originprivate, it cannot be accessed by Origin
of Quality... anyoneof Quality...
outside the class, thereby hiding the fields within the class. For this reason, encapsulation is also
referred to as data hiding. Encapsulation can be described as a protective barrier that prevents
the code and data being randomly accessed by other code defined outside the class. Access to
the data and code is tightly controlled by an interface.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The main benefit of encapsulation is the ability to modify our implemented code without
breaking the code of others who use our code. With this feature Encapsulation gives maintainability,
flexibility and extensibility to our code.

The public methods are the access points to this class fields from the outside java
world. Normally these methods are referred as getters and setters. Therefore any
class that wants to access the variables should access them through these getters and
Chakrika InfoSolutions
setters. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

•• The fields of a class can be made read-only or write-only.
•• A class can have total control over what is stored in its fields.
•• The users of a class do not know how the class stores its data. A class can change
the data type of a field, and users of the class do not need to change any of their
Chakrika InfoSolutions
code.

Inheritance
Inheritance is the process by which one class takes the property of another class. The
Chakrika InfoSolutions
new classes, known Chakrika InfoSolutions
as derived classes or subclasses, take overChakrika InfoSolutions
the attributes and behavior
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
of the pre-existing classes, which are referred to as base classes or super classes.

The idea of inheritance is simple but powerful: When you want to create a new
class and there is already a class that includes some of the code that you want, you can
Chakrika InfoSolutions
derive your new classChakrika InfoSolutions
from the existing Chakrika
class. In doing this, you InfoSolutions
can reuse the fields and
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
methods of the existing class without having to write (and debug!) them yourself.

A subclass inherits all the members (fields, methods, and nested classes) from its
superclass. Constructors are not members, so they are not inherited by subclasses, but
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
the constructor of the InfoSolutions
superclass can Chakrika InfoSolutions
be invoked from the subclass.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

An Example of Inheritance
To inherit a class, you simply incorporate the definition of one class into another
Chakrika InfoSolutions
by using an extends Chakrika
keyword. To InfoSolutions
see how, let’s begin withChakrika InfoSolutions
a short example. The fol-
lowing
Originprogram creates a superclass called
of Quality... A and
Origin a subclass called B. Notice howOrigin
of Quality... the of Quality...
keyword extends is used to create a subclass of A.

As you can see, the subclass B includes all of the members of its superclass, A. This
is why subOb can access i and j and call showij( ). Also, inside sum( ), i and j can be

Private Members in a Superclass

A subclass does not inherit the private members of its parent class. However, if
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
the superclass has public or protected methods for accessing its private fields, these

can also be used by the subclass.

A nested class has access to all the private members of its enclosing class, both fields
and methods. Therefore, a public or protected nested class inherited by a subclass has
indirect access to all of the private members of the superclass.

Casting Objects
We have seen that an object of the data type of the class from which it was instanti-
ated. For example, if we write
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
public MountainBike InfoSolutions
myBike = new MountainBike(Chakrika
); InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

then myBike is of type MountainBike.

MountainBike is descended from Bicycle and Object. Therefore, a MountainBike is

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
a Bicycle and is also an Object, and it can be used wherever Bicycle or Object objects
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
are called for.

The reverse is not necessarily true: a Bicycle may be a MountainBike, but it

isn’t necessary. Similarly, an Object may be a Bicycle or a MountainBike, but it isn’t
Chakrika InfoSolutions
necessarily.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Casting shows the use of an object of one type in place of another type, among the
objects permitted by inheritance and implementations. For example, if we write
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Object obj =Chakrika InfoSolutions
new MountainBike( ); Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

then obj is both an Object and a Mountainbike (until such time as obj is assigned
another object that is not a Mountainbike). This is called implicit casting.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
If, on the other hand, we write InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
MountainBike myBike = obj;

We would get a compile-time error because obj is not known to the compiler to
Chakrika InfoSolutions
be a MountainBike.Chakrika
However, we InfoSolutions
can tell the compiler that Chakrika
we promise InfoSolutions
to assign a
MountainBike to obj by explicit casting.Origin of Quality...
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
MountainBike myBike = (MountainBike)obj;

This cast inserts a runtime check that obj is assigned a MountainBike so that the
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
compiler can safely assume that obj is a MountainBike. If obj is not a Mountainbike

at runtime, an exception will be thrown.

Polymorphism

For example, a printDescription method could be added to the class that displays all

To demonstrate polymorphic features in the Java language, extend the Bicycle class
with a MountainBike and a RoadBike class. For MountainBike, add a field for suspen-

Abstract Methods InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
and Classes
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

An abstract class is a class that is declared abstract—it may or may not

include abstract methods. Abstract classes cannot be instantiated, but they can be
subclassed.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
An abstract method is a method that is declared without an implementation (with-
out braces, and followed by a semicolon), like this:

abstract void moveTo(double deltaX, double deltaY);

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
If a class includes abstract methods, the class itself must be declared abstract, as in:

public abstract class GraphicObject

{
Chakrika InfoSolutions
abstract
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality...void draw( ); Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}

When an abstract class is subclassed, the subclass usually provides implementations

for all of the abstract methods in its parent class. However, if it does not, the subclass
Chakrika InfoSolutions
must also
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
declared abstract.

Note: All of the methods in an interface are implicitly abstract, so the abstract

In an object-oriented drawing application, you can draw circles, rectangles, lines,
Bezier curves, and many other graphic objects. These objects all have certain states
(for example: position, orientation, line color, fill color) and behaviors (for example:
moveTo, rotate, resize, draw) in common. Some of these states and behaviors are the

must know how to draw or resize themselves; they just differ in how they do it. This is
a perfect situation for an abstract superclass. You can take advantage of the similarities
and declare all the graphic objects to inherit from the same abstract parent object—for
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

First, you declare InfoSolutions
an abstract class, GraphicObject, to Chakrika InfoSolutions
provide member variables
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
and methods that are wholly shared by all subclasses, such as the current position and
the moveTo method. GraphicObject also declares abstract methods for methods, such
as draw or resize, that need to be implemented by all subclasses but must be imple-
mented in different ways. The GraphicObject class can look something like this:
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality...
abstract class GraphicObjectOrigin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
{

Chakrika InfoSolutions

abstract void draw( );

Each non-abstract subclass of GraphicObject, such as Circle and Rectangle, must

provide implementations for the draw and resize methods:

Overview
An array is a container object which holds a group of values of same data type. It is a contigu-
ChakrikaousInfoSolutions Chakrika
block of memory locations referred byInfoSolutions Chakrika
a common name. Arrays InfoSolutions
of any type can be created
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
and may have one or more dimensions. The length of an array is established when the array is
created. An element in an array can be accessed by its index position. Arrays in Java work dif-
ferently than they do in C and C++ languages.
ChakrikaInInfoSolutions
java there are two types Chakrika InfoSolutions
of array dimensions we have, Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
•• One –Dimensional Array.
•• Multi-Dimensional Array (Two-Dimensional Array).

ChakrikaOne-Dimensional

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
A one-dimensional array is array which has only single row with multiple columns, also
called as single-dimensional array. It is the collect of value of same-typed variables. To create
an array, first you must declare an array variable of the desired type. The general form is,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
type array_name[ ];
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Here, type defines the base type you want to store in the array. The base type may be primi-
tive data types or any reference type. Thus, the base type for the array determines what type of
Chakrikadata the array will hold. ForChakrika
InfoSolutions example: InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin
char of Quality...
vowels[]; Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Here, the char is the type of the data that the array holds and vowels is the name of the array.
By declaring an array you are not able store the value in it. You need the allocated memory of
ChakrikatheInfoSolutions
arrayOrigin
by using
Chakrika InfoSolutions
the new keyword, and also specify
Chakrika InfoSolutions
of Quality... Origin ofthe size that the array stores inOrigin
Quality... it. Theof Quality...
general form is,
array_name = new type[size];

ChakrikaHere,
InfoSolutions
type is the type of dataChakrika
being allocated;InfoSolutions
size specifies the numberChakrika
value the array InfoSolutions
can store.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
vowels = new char[5];

Now the array with name vowels and size 5 is allocated in the memory with default value of
ChakrikatheInfoSolutions
type they declared. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
You may simplify this by combining these two steps into a single step as shown below,
type array_name[]=new type[size];

Chakrika InfoSolutions
Eg: Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
char vowels[] = new char[5];

Now, the array is ready to store the value. Assigning a value to an array is very
simple one. First you have to note one important thing before you assign a value that
is all array indexes start with zero. So, you have to assign the value from 0th index. For
Chakrika InfoSolutions
example: Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
vowels[0]=’a’;
vowels[1]=’e’;

Chakrika InfoSolutions
Like this we canChakrika InfoSolutions
assign value for the array. To print theChakrika InfoSolutions
value, just give the array
name with
Origin their index position.

Let’s see with an example program,

Chakrika InfoSolutions
class vowels Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
{Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
public static void main(String ar[])
{
char vowels[]=new char[5];
Chakrika InfoSolutions
vowels[0]=‘a’; Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

}
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
While
Origincompiling and running this program
of Quality... the of
Origin output will be,
Quality... Origin of Quality...
The third character of vowels is: i
In Array, you can directly assign the values while you are declaring the array itself.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
It is similar to initialize InfoSolutions
the variable in the simple types. YouChakrika
can initializeInfoSolutions
the values
within
Originthe curly braces and separating each
of Quality... one of
Origin byQuality...
a comma. The array will automati-
Origin of Quality...
cally allocate memory to according to the number of values assigned. There is no need
to use new for memory allocation. For example:

Chakrika InfoSolutions
class arrex Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
{Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
public static void main(String ar[])
{
int ascii[]={65,66,67,68,68,70};
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
System.out.println(“The fourth element Chakrika InfoSolutions

}
}

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

While compiling and running this InfoSolutions
program the output willChakrika
be, InfoSolutions

For displaying more than one element in the array you no need to print it one by
one, rather you can use any iteration statement to display it. Here, you don’t know the
size of the array since they are initialized at the declaration itself. To iterate using any
Chakrika InfoSolutions
iteration statementChakrika
you have to knowInfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
the length of the array.

Java provides one special property to find the length of an array called “length”. It
will return the number of elements that the array currently stored in it.

Multidimensional Array
In Java, multidimensional arrays are the arrays of arrays. Generally, we use two

array variable, specify

Like one-dimensional array you can directly initialize the multi-dimensional array
also. Here you have to separate each row by separate curly braces and the overall values
with one set of braces.

From example you may see that, to print a particular element you have to mention
both the index positions of that element.

Chakrika InfoSolutions
While allocatingChakrika InfoSolutions
memory for a multidimensional array, itChakrika InfoSolutions
is not necessary to specify
the size for
Origin all the dimensions of the array,Origin
of Quality... the first dimension can alone been specified
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
and you can specify the remaining dimensions separately. For example:

double d[][] = new double[2][];

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
d[0] = new double[2]; InfoSolutions
Origind[1] = new double[2];
of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
d[2] = new double[2];
d[2] = new double[2];

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

There is no different InfoSolutions
in specifying Chakrika
the size in same line or separately.InfoSolutions
Both will
do the same
Origin work that is, it will allocateOrigin

of Quality... in of Quality...
Origin
specifying separately is that you can change the size of the array for different rows.
For example;

Chakrika InfoSolutions
double d[][]Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Origind[0] = new double[2];
of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
d[1] = new double[3];
d[2] = new double[4];
d[2] = new double[5];

Like single dimensional you can use for iteration statement to loop through the

Alternative Syntax for Declaring an Array

Java provides one more way for declaring an array. The general form is,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
type[ ] array_name;Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Here, the square bracket precedes the array_name and placed next to the type.
There is no difference in their working, only syntax is different. For example:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

int arr[] = new int[3]; InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
or
int[] arr = new int[3];

Both will declare an integer array with name arr and allocate a memory of size 3.

Overview
In Java advanced class features are used and they are static keyword, final keyword, inner

and command line Chakrika InfoSolutions
arguments. Let’s Chakrika
see about these features InfoSolutions
in detail in this chapter.

static Keyword
In general, a class member is normally accessed with an object of its class. Some time, you
Chakrikamay
InfoSolutions Chakrika
want to define a class member InfoSolutions
that will be used independentlyChakrika
of any object. InfoSolutions
However, it is
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
possible to create a member that can be used by itself, without any reference to a specific instance.
This can be possible by precede its declaration with the keyword static. When a member is
declared static, it can be accessed before any objects of its class are created, and without refer-
to any object. You can declare both methods and variables to be static. You may often see
Chakrikaence

method that is declaredChakrika
as static, i.e.,InfoSolutions
in theOrigin
main method Chakrika
of your InfoSolutions
program you mayOrigin
see it.of Quality...
Origin of Quality... of Quality...
It is declared as static because it must be called before any object exists.

Methods declared as static have several restrictions:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
•• They can only call other static methods.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
•• They must only access static data.
•• They cannot refer to this or super in any way.

static has one more form also it can been used as a block called static block which is used
Chakrikato InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
initialize your static variables. It gets executed exactly once, when the class is first loaded.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

}
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality...
As soon as the StaticEx1 class is loaded, all Origin of Quality...
of the static Origin of Quality...
statements get executed. First, j is
set to 10, then the static block executes and k is assigned with ++j. Then main( ) is called, where

the object for the class StaticEx1 is created for accessing the non static variable i. You
can see that the static variable j and k are referred without any objects.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

While compiling and running this InfoSolutions
program the output willChakrika
be, InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

From output you InfoSolutions
can see that the variable j hold 21, evenChakrika InfoSolutions
though j is initialized with
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
20. Because, the static block is executed before the main so, the j value get increment
by 1 and become 21.

When we want to refer a static method or variable outside of the class, you need
Chakrika InfoSolutions
to specify the nameChakrika InfoSolutions
of their class followed Chakrika
by the dot operator. The generalInfoSolutions
form is,
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
class_name.method( ) or class_name.variable

Here, class_name is the name of the class in which the static method is declared.
Chakrika InfoSolutions
It is Chakrika
similar to that when you used toInfoSolutions
call non-static methods Chakrika InfoSolutions
through object-reference
variables.
Origin of A static variable can be accessed
Quality... in theofsame
Origin way, by use of the dot operator
Quality... Origin of Quality...
on the name of the class.

Let’s see with an example,

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
class
Origin ofsub
Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
{
static int a = 20;
static void show()
Chakrika InfoSolutions
{ Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
System.out.println(“Static Method”);
}
}
class staticex2
Chakrika InfoSolutions
{ Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
public static void main(String ar[])
{
sub.show();
System.out.println(sub.a);
Chakrika InfoSolutions
} of Quality...
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}

While compiling and running this program the output will be,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Static Method Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin20of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

final Keyword
In Java, final keyword is used in variable declaration by preceding the final key-
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
word when the variable being declared. It is used for preventing the content of a
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
variable being modified. This means that you must initialize a final variable when it

ChakrikaChakrika
InfoSolutions
InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
is declared and you cannot able to change its value in other part of the program. For
example:

Chakrika InfoSolutions
class finalex Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
{Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
public static void main(String ar[])
{
final int i=10;
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
System.out.println(i++); InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}
}

Form the example you can see that the integer variable i is declared as final and
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
initialized with 10. In InfoSolutions
next line its value Chakrika
is increment by 1 and printed. WhileInfoSolutions
compiling
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
this program an error message will be display that final variable cannot been modified
as shown below,
finalex.java:6: cannot assign a value to final variable i
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
System.out.println(i++);
Origin of Quality... ^ Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
1 error

This shows that, when a variable is declared as final content, then it can-
Chakrika InfoSolutions
not be modified afterChakrika
that. Variables declared as final do Chakrika
InfoSolutions InfoSolutions
not occupy memory on a
per-instance basis. Thus, a final variable
Origin of Quality... is essentially
Origin a constant.
of Quality... Origin of Quality...

The keyword final can also be applied to methods, but its meaning is substantially
different than when it is applied to variables.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Introducing Nested and Inner Classes
In some cases, we want to define a class within another class; such classes are
known as nested classes. The scope of a nested class is bounded by the scope of
Chakrika InfoSolutions
its enclosing class. Chakrika InfoSolutions
Suppose, if a class Y is defined within Chakrika
a class X, then InfoSolutions
the class Y
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
is only known to its enclosing class X. The classes outside X are not able to access Origin
it of Quality...
directly. A nested class has an access to the members, including private members of
the class in which it is nested. However, the enclosing class does not have access to the
members of the nested class.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
There are two types of nested classes: static and non-static. As with class methods
and variables, a static nested class is associated with its outer class. And like static
class methods, a static nested class cannot refer directly to the instance variables or
methods defined in its enclosing class it can use them only through an object reference.
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Because
Chakrika InfoSolutions
this restriction, static nestedOrigin
classes
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin ofofQuality... of are seldom used.
Quality... Origin of Quality...

The most important type of nested class is the non-static nested class. It is also
called as the Inner class. It has access to all of the variables and methods of its outer
Chakrika InfoSolutions
class and may referChakrika InfoSolutions
to them directly non-static
Chakrika
in the same way that other InfoSolutions
members
ofOrigin
the outer class do.
of Quality... Thus, an inner class is fully within
Origin of Quality... the scope of its enclosing
Origin of Quality...
class. For example,

While compiling and running this program the output will be,
10

Chakrika InfoSolutions
In the program, an Chakrika InfoSolutions
inner class named Chakrika
inner is defined within the scope ofInfoSolutions
class nest.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Therefore, any code in class inner can directly access the variable x. An instance
method named show( ) is defined inside inner, which just print the x value. In the
nest class method display( ) the object for class inner is created and the show( )
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
method is invoked. The InfoSolutions
main( ) method creates an instance ofChakrika
class nest andInfoSolutions
invokes its
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
display( ) method. Thus the value 10 is printed as the output. Origin of Quality...

It is important to realize that class inner is known only within the scope of class
nest.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality...
The Java compiler generates an errorOrigin of Quality...
message if any code outside of class Origin

attempts to instantiate class inner. Generally, a nested class is no different than any
other programs element and it is known only within its enclosing scope. From the
above example you try to instantiate the inner class in the main( ) method as show
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Using Command-Line Arguments

Sometimes you like to pass information into a program when you run it. This is
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
accomplished by passing InfoSolutions
command-line arguments to Chakrika InfoSolutions
main( ) method. A com-
mand-line argument is the information that follows the program’s name onOrigin
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... the of Quality...
command line when the program is being executed. These command-line argu-
ment information are stored in the String array that is passed as argument to the
main( ) method. To access the command-line arguments inside a Java program
Chakrika InfoSolutions

Packages
Package = directory, the Java Language Specification defines Packages as groups of Java
Chakrikaclasses
InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
and Java interfaces. Java uses the file system directory for creating the package. A package

name is same as the directory (folder) name which contains the .java files. Every Java class and
interface name is contained in some package.

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The Java Package Name consists of words separated by periods. The first part of the name
represents the organization which creates the package and the remaining words of the Java
Package name reflect the contents of the package. The Java Package name also reflects its directory

Importing Packages
For including the predefined or the package which are created by you into your
program you need to includes the import statement to bring the classes inside the
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
package, or entire packages, InfoSolutions
into visibility. Once you importChakrika InfoSolutions
a package means you can
directly refer to that package classes, using its name.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

The import statements occur immediately by following the package statement

and before any class definitions of your program. The general form is,
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
import pack_name.subpack_name.class_name;
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Here, pack_name is the name of a package, subpack_name is name of the sub
package and class_name is the class you want to import into your program. If you
like to import all the classes present in a package into your program just, by giving star
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
symbol (*) in the place InfoSolutions
of class_name as shown below, Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
import pack_name.subpack_name.*;

For example,
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
import java.util.*;
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
class ImportEx
{
public static void main(String ar[])
Chakrika {

Origin ofDate date = new Date();
Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
System.out.println(date);
}
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
In this example, the Date class in the util pack is import in the program. A date
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
object is created and current date is printed.

Creating a Package

Creating a package is very easy task; just include a package command as the first

specified Quality...The package statement
Origin of Quality...
defines a name space in which classesOrigin

stored. The general form is,
package pack_name;
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Here, pack_name
Origin of Quality...is the name of the package
Originwhere the class files are stored.
of Quality... Origin of Quality...

If you omit the package statement, the class names are put into the default pack-
age, which has no name. While the default package is fine for short, sample programs,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
but it is inadequateChakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
for real applications.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
In Java, more than one file can been included in the same package. The package
statement simply specifies to which package the classes are defined in a file belongs to. It
does not exclude other classes in other files from beginning part of that same package.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
You can create a hierarchy of packages in same line; simply by separate each pack-

The CLASSPATH environment variable must be set to point to any directories

that contain Java classes that you want to import. To point to specific Java Packages,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
you ChakrikatoInfoSolutions
must set the CLASSPATH point Origin

You can add as many directories as you like to the path (separated by “:”), but
remember that the order is important. The directories will be searched in the left-to-
right order. In the above example, your current directory would be searched first, then

Example for creating a package by yourself
Here we will see how to create a user defined package with a simple example,

public class pack1
{

public class pack2
{
public static void show1()
Chakrika {

pack2.show1();
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
System.out.println(“This is Pack3 Chakrika
Class”); InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}
}

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

From the example InfoSolutions
you can see that, there are two packagesChakrika InfoSolutions
created using the package
Origin ofIn
keyword. Quality...
the first class pack1 has onlyOrigin of Quality...
one method Origin of Quality...
called show( ) and it is convert
into a package called mypack. The second class pack2 also have one method called
show1( ) and it is convert into a package called m1 which is the sub pack of package
Chakrika InfoSolutions
mypack. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Class called pack3 is created where, the both pack1 and pack2 are imported into
it and the class present inside that packs are reused in the pack3 class.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

To convert these InfoSolutions
classes into package, while compiling Chakrika InfoSolutions
you have to make them as
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
package using the following code as shown below,

Package Access Protection

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
You of
Origin already learned about various aspects
Quality... OriginofofJava’s access control mechanismOrigin
Quality... and of Quality...
its access specifiers. For example, you already know that access to a private member of
a class is granted only to other members of that class. Package gives another dimension
to access control while they are imported into the program.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Java provides
Origin four categories of visibility Origin

of members:
Quality... Origin of Quality...

•• Subclasses in the same package

•• Non-subclasses in the same package
•• Subclasses in different packages

The three access specifiers are, private, public, and protected, which provide a
variety of ways to produce the many levels of access required by these categories. Their
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
interactions are show in the table, InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Anything declared public can be accessed from anywhere. Anything declared
private cannot be seen outside of its class. When a member does not have an explicit
access specification, it is visible to subclasses as well as to other classes in the same
Chakrika InfoSolutions
package. This is theChakrika
default access.InfoSolutions Chakrika
If you want to allow an element InfoSolutions
to be seen outside
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
your current package, that is only when the classes that subclass your class directly,
then declare that element as protected.

For example from the last example if you specify access for the method show( ) as

protected in the class pack1 then it cannot been accessed any class which is import in

Interfaces
In Java, the multiple inheritance problems are solved using the interfaces. Interface
can be used to define a generic template and then one or more abstract classes to define
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
partial implementations InfoSolutions
of the interface. Chakrika
Interfaces just specify InfoSolutions
the method declara-
tion (implicitly
Origin public and abstract) and Origin
of Quality... can only contain fields (which are implicitly
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
public static final). Interfaces are declared using the interface keyword, and contain
only method signatures and constant declarations.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Interfaces cannot InfoSolutions
be instantiated. Chakrika
A class that implements InfoSolutions
an interface must imple-
ment allofthe
Origin methods described in the interface,
Quality... Origin oforQuality...
be an abstract class. Object refer-
Origin of Quality...
ences in Java can be specified to be of an interface type; in case which, they must either
be null, or be bound to an object that implements the interface.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Defining an Interface
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
An interface is defined much like a class. This is the general form of an interface:
access_specifier interface interface_name
{
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
final static data_type InfoSolutions
varname1 = value; Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
final static data_type varname2 = value;

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Here,ofaccess_specifier
Origin Quality... is either public or default
Origin access specifier. interface_name

is the name of the interface, and can be any valid identifier. Notice that the methods
which are declared have no bodies. They end with a semicolon (;) after the parameter
list. They are, essentially, abstract methods there can be no default implementation of
any method specified within an interface. Each class that includes an interface must
Chakrika InfoSolutions
implement all of theChakrika
methods. InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Variables declared inside the interface are implicitly final and static, means they
cannot be changed by implementing class. They must also be initialized with a constant
value. All methods and variables are implicitly public if the interface itself is declared
Chakrika InfoSolutions
as public. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Implementing the interface
The interface once create can be used by other classes by using the implements
keyword. You can implement many numbers of interfaces for a same class itself by
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
separating them using InfoSolutions
a comma (,). The general form is, Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
{
//statements;
Chakrika InfoSolutions
} Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Let’s see this with an example,

interface ex
{
Chakrika InfoSolutions
final int x=10; Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality...
public void show(); Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}
class InterfaceEx implements ex

ob = InfoSolutions
new InterfaceEx(); Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
ob.show();
}
}

Chakrika InfoSolutions
In this exampleChakrika InfoSolutions
an interface called Chakrika
ex is created, in which InfoSolutions
a final integer variable

Quality... The of Quality...
class InterfaceEx implemented this interface ex by using the implements keyword.
In this class the code for the abstract method show( ) is written and the variable x of
the interface also used.

You can also implement the interface, with the class that already extends in other
class. This is the main advantage why interfaces are used. Since, Java does not support
multiple inheritance, so more than one class cannot be extended. But in interface you
Chakrika InfoSolutions
can implement more Chakrika InfoSolutions

Overview
In this chapter you are going to see about the java.lang package. It provides the classes that

programming language.Chakrika InfoSolutions
The most important classes
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
are Object, which is the root of the class hierarchy, and Class, instances which represent classes
at run time. You already know that, java.lang is the only package which is imported automati-
cally into all programs.

Wrapper classes
Wrapper classes are nothing but the primitive data types that are in class format. Since, Java
Chakrikais InfoSolutions Chakrika
object oriented programming language InfoSolutions Chakrika
it is necessary to represent the value ofInfoSolutions
the primitive
Origin
type as in of Quality...
an object form also. In essence, this Origin of Quality... or wraps, the simple
class encapsulates, Origin
typesof Quality...
within a class. Thus, they are commonly referred to as wrappers classes.

Number is an abstract class which is at the top of the hierarchy of the wrapper classes and
Chakrikait isInfoSolutions Chakrika
the superclass for all other InfoSolutions
wrapper classes. Chakrika
Number has abstract InfoSolutions
methods that return the
value of Origin of Quality...
the object Origin of Quality...
in each of the different number Origin of Quality...
formats. That is, byteValue( ) returns the
value as a byte, intValue( ) returns the value as a int, and so on.

Overview
In this chapter we are going to see the Java’s Exception-Handling mechanism. An exception
Chakrikais InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
a problem that arises during the execution of a program. An exception can occur for many
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
different reasons, which includes the following:

•• A user has entered invalid data.

Chakrika InfoSolutions
•• A file that needs to beChakrika
opened cannotInfoSolutions
be found. Chakrika InfoSolutions
•• A network connection has been lost in the middle
Origin of Quality... of Quality...
Origin of communications, or the JVM has runof Quality...
Origin
out of memory.

Some of these exceptions are caused by user error, others by programmer error, and others
ChakrikabyInfoSolutions Chakrika
physical resources that have InfoSolutions
failed in some manner. Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

To understand how exception handling works in Java, you need to understand the three
categories of exceptions:
Chakrika InfoSolutions
•• Checked exceptions:Chakrika InfoSolutions
A checked exception Chakrika
is an exception that InfoSolutions
is typically a user error or a
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
problem that cannot be foreseen by the programmer. For example, if a file is to be opened,
but the file cannot be found, an exception occurs. These exceptions cannot simply be ignored
at the time of compilation.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
•• Unchecked exceptions: InfoSolutions
An unchecked Chakrika
or runtime exception InfoSolutions
is an exception that occurs
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
which is probably been avoided by the programmer. As opposed to checked exceptions,
runtime exceptions are ignored at the time of compilation.
•• Errors: These are not exceptions at all, but problems that arise beyond the control of the
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
user or the programmer. InfoSolutions
Errors are typically ignored in your Chakrika InfoSolutions
code because you can rarely
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
do anything about an error. For example, if a stack overflow occurs, an error will arise. They
are also ignored at the time of compilation.

ChakrikaException
InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Hierarchy:
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
All exception classes are subtypes of the java.lang.Exception class. The exception class is a
subclass of the Throwable class. Other than the exception class there is another subclass called
Error which is derived from the Throwable class.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Errors are not normally trapped form the Java programs. These conditions normally happen
in case of severe failures, which are not handled by the java programs. Errors are generated to
indicate errors generated by the runtime environment. Example: JVM is out of Memory. Normally
Chakrikaprograms
InfoSolutions Chakrika
cannot recover from errors. InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Fundamentals of Exception-Handling
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
A Java exception is an object that describes an exceptional condition that has
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
occurred in a piece of code. When an exceptional condition arises, an object repre-
senting that exception is created and thrown in the method that caused the error.

In Java exception handling is managed by the following keywords,

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
try, catch, throw, throws, and finally

This is the general form of an exception-handling block:

try
Chakrika InfoSolutions
{
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}
catch (ExceptionType Ob)
{
Chakrika InfoSolutions
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
finally
{
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Here, ExceptionType
Origin of Quality... is the type of exception that
Origin has been occurred.
of Quality... Origin of Quality...

try Block -The java code that you think may produce an exception is placed within
a try block for a suitable catch block to handle the error.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
catch Block - Exceptions thrown during execution of the try block can be caught
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
and handled in a catch block. On exit from a catch block, normal execution continues
and the finally block is executed

finally Block - A finally block is always executed, regardless of the cause of exit
Chakrika InfoSolutions
from the try block, Chakrika
or whether anyInfoSolutions Chakrika
catch block was executed. InfoSolutions
Generally finally block
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
is used for freeing resources, cleaning up, closing connections etc.

Unhandled Exceptions

Chakrika InfoSolutions
Since, before inChakrika
you programs InfoSolutions
you did not handled anyChakrika InfoSolutions
exceptional condition. If
an exception arises in your program, your program gets terminated suddenly after the
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
exception condition arises. Let’s see this with an example,

System.out.println(b);
System.out.println(“Unhandled Exception Example”);
Chakrika InfoSolutions
} Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
}Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

In this example, we try to divide b by a, where a is 0 and it will cause a divide by

zero problem; then JVM constructs a new exception object and then throws an excep-
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
tion. It must been caught InfoSolutions
and handled by exception handler,Chakrika InfoSolutions
but in this example we
haven’t used any exception handlers of our own. But at runtime you can seen that the of Quality...
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin
exception has been handled and it is been displayed. It is caught and handled by the
default handler provided by the Java run-time system. Any exception that is not caught
by your program will ultimately be processed by the default handler.

Handling Exceptions by Yourself

Chakrika InfoSolutions
try and catch Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Although the default exception handler provided by the Java run-time system is
useful for debugging, usually you want to handle an exception by yourself. Doing so
provides two benefits.

Chakrika InfoSolutions

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
These things are avoided InfoSolutions
by handling Chakrika InfoSolutions
the exception by yourself.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The exception handlings are handled simply, by enclosing the code that you want
to monitor inside a try block. Immediately includes a catch block, following the try
block, which specifies the exception type that you wish to catch. For example:

Handled Exception Example

Notice that the call to println( ) inside the try block is never executed. Once an

exception is thrown,
catch block. Thus,

entire try/catch mechanism.

A try and its catch

statement cannot catch an exception thrown by another try statement. The statements
that are protected by try must be surrounded by curly braces.

Multiple catch Block

In some Origin
cases, a single piece of code can of Quality...
raise Origin
more than one type of exception at of Quality...
a time. This can be solved by specifying two or more catch block, each one catching a
different type of exception with the try. When an exception is raised the desired catch
block caught to exception and the remaining are bypassed, and the code after the try/

catch block are executed properly.InfoSolutions
For example: Chakrika InfoSolutions

java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

This program will cause a division-by-zero exception, when the loop executes for the
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
third time. If the loop continues it may cause an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
since the array has no value after the index 2.

Chakrika InfoSolutions
One important Chakrika InfoSolutions
thing you have to the multiple catch
remember before usingChakrika blocks.
InfoSolutions
The Exception superclass should been caught at the last catch block only, because a
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
subclass would never be reached if it came after its superclass. Further, in Java, it will
cause an unreachable code error while compiling. For example:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Nested try
The try statement can be also been nested, i.e., a try statement can be present inside
the block of another try. It is similar to class present inside another class. If the outer try
Chakrika block does not raiseChakrika
InfoSolutions any exception, then inner try block is executed.
InfoSolutions If an inner
Chakrika try state-
InfoSolutions
ment does
Origin not have a catch handler for a Origin

to nearer catch block. If there is no catch near to the inner try means, then the outer
catch itself handles the inner try block exception. This continues until one of the catch
statements succeeds, or until the entire nested try statements and exhausted. If no catch
statement matches, then the Java run-time system will handle the exception. In vice-versa

From the example, you can see that the program nests one try block within another.
A command-line input is got while running and it is assigned to variable c. This c value
is given as index position for a in the first try block. If the given input exit the index the
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is raised and the inner Chakrika InfoSolutions
try will not been executed.
If the c value is within the range of a array’s index position, then the value is printedOrigin

throw and throws Statements

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
Still now, you are InfoSolutions
been seeing the Chakrika
exceptions that are thrown InfoSolutions
by the Java run-time
system.
Origin However, it is possible for you to throw
of Quality... Originan
of exception
Quality... explicitly, using the throw
Origin of Quality...
statement. The general form is,
throw ThrowableInstance;

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Here, ThrowableInstance mustInfoSolutions Chakrika
be an object of type Throwable or a InfoSolutions
subclass of
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Throwable. Other primitive types and non-Throwable classes cannot be used as excep-
tions. There are two ways you can obtain a Throwable object, using a parameter into
a catch clause, or creating one with the new operator.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
The flow of execution stops immediately after the throw statement; the state-
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
ments after the throw are not executed. The try block search for a catch statement
that matches the type of the exception. If no matching catch is found, then the default
exception handler halts the program and prints the exception. For example:
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
class
Origin ofThrowEx
Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
{
static void m1()
{
Chakrika InfoSolutions
try Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

}

From the example, you can see that there are two chances to deal with the same
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
error. First, main( ) sets up an exception context and then calls m1( ). The m1( )
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
method then sets up another exception-handling context and immediately throws a
new instance of ArithmeticException, with an argument value. The exception is caught
and then rethrown to the main( ).

to handle

Origin in these cases callers of the

Origin can guard themselves againstOrigin

exception. This is possible by including a throws clause in the method declaration. A
throws clause lists the types of exceptions that a method might throw. All exceptions
that a method can throw must be declared in the throws clause. If they are not declared
Chakrika InfoSolutions
then a compile-time Chakrika InfoSolutions
error will result. You can mention more Chakrika InfoSolutions
than one exception in

Origin clause by separating it by a comma

The general form is

Let’s see with an example,

From the example InfoSolutions
you may see that the method m1( Chakrika InfoSolutions
) has an exception that is

explicitly thrown by the throw clause, but the method does not have any try catch
block to handle it. Here, throws clause is used to pass the exception to the caller
method main( ). In main( ) this exception is handled using the try catch block in it. If
the exception type does not match the catch that handled, then the default handler
Chakrika InfoSolutions
will handle Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Exceptions are the abnormal condition that may cause the program to terminate
unexpectedly. In some cases it may cause a very big problem while running a program,
because certain code has to been executed properly under any circumstances. For

example, Chakrika

Origin
the being of the program, likewise you have to close it properly at the end to avoid any
data loss or malfunctions. If an exception does not allow the file or database to close
properly means then huge problem may arise. To avoid this situation, the finally block
is added at the end of the try catch block.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The finally block has a block of code that will be executed after a try/catch block
has completed and before the code following the try/catch block. The finally block
will be executed whether the exception is thrown or not. If an exception is thrown,
the finally block will execute even if no catch statement matches the exception and
Chakrika InfoSolutions
executes before theChakrika InfoSolutions
exception is returned. The finally clauseChakrika InfoSolutions
is optional where as, the

In this chapter, you are going to see InfoSolutions
about String handlingChakrika
methods that InfoSolutions
are provided
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
by three classes of java.lang package - java.lang.String, java.lang.StringBuffer and java.lang.
StringBuilder.

You are already familiar about the String wrapper class, which is used for storing the sequence
of characters. Java implements strings as objects of type String. Now, you are going to see some
of the method that provided by the String class in details here.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The String class supports several constructors; they are listed out here,
String();
String(char chars[ ])
Chakrika InfoSolutions
String(char chars[ ], int offset,Chakrika
int length) InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
String(byte asciiChars[ ])
String(byte asciiChars[ ], int offset, int length)
String(String Object)
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The First one is the default constructor of the String class, where as no arguments to initial-
ize. The second one has a character array as an argument and the third one has a character array
with offset and length as argument values. Here offset is the starting index of the character array
and length is the number of the character which is used to give a subset of character array as
Chakrikainitial
InfoSolutions
value. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

The fourth and fifth has a byte array as an arguments and the last one with another String
object as the argument.

As you see in earlier chapter, you can directly assign a value to a String object,
instead of initializing it using any one of the constructor you saw before. Thus, you can
use a string literal to initialize a String object. For example,
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
OriginString str = “String Literal”;
of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

The string literal should be given within the double quotes as show in the above
example, and it can be collection of any character, number or special symbols.

length() method

The length of a string can be found using the length( ) method in the String class,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
which Chakrika
return the number InfoSolutions
of character Chakrika
a String object contains. InfoSolutions
The general form is,
Origin of Quality...
int length( ) Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Let’s see an example for this,

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

class LengthEX
{Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
public static void main(String ar[])
{
String str = “Chakrika InfoSolutions”;
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
System.out.println(“The length of Chakrika
the stringInfoSolutions

Origin of Quality... Origin
\””+str+“\“ is: ”+str.length()); of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}
}

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

While compiling and running this InfoSolutions
program the output willChakrika
be, InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The length of the string “Chakrika InfoSolutions” is: 22

Concatenation of String
String Concatenation are possible by using the + operator, which is the only opera-
tor supported by the String class. The result of the concatenation will be a String object
Chakrika InfoSolutions
itself. You
Chakrika InfoSolutions
can concatenate one or more string
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Originusing this + operator for a same String
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
object. For example,
String str = “Father of India ”+ “is Mahatma Gandhi.
”+ “A great man”;
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
System.out.println(str);
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
This will display,
Father of India is Mahatma Gandhi. A great man

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

You can concatenate InfoSolutions
strings with + operator to otherChakrika
primitive dataInfoSolutions
types also.
For example,
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

String str = “The eligible age for voting is: “ +18;

This converts the integer type value into a string and then concatenates with other
Chakrika InfoSolutions
string. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Let’s see with an example,
class ConcateEx
{
Chakrika InfoSolutions
public static Chakrika InfoSolutions
void main(String ar[]) Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin
{ of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
int age = 18;
float f=10f;
String s1 = “The age limit for voting is ”+age+”
Chakrika InfoSolutions
andChakrika above”; InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
String s2 = “The service tax is ”+f+“%”;
System.out.println(s1);
System.out.println(s2);
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions
}Origin of Quality...Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
While compiling and running this program the output will be,
The age limit for voting is 18 and above
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
The service tax is 10%
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The other primitive data type while concatenation converts into a string represen-
tation by overloading a string method called valueOf() defined by String class. It is
used to convert any form of data type into string literal.
Chakrika InfoSolutions
toString( )
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The toString( ) methods are used for converting an object into a string literal.
Every class implements toString( ) because it is defined by Object. For most important
classes that you create, you want to override toString( ) and provide your own string
Chakrika InfoSolutions
representations.TheChakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
general form is,
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
String toString( )

The toString( ), simply return a String object when they are implemented into
your program.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Let’s see with an example,
Origin ofex
class Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
{
String name1;
int age1;
Chakrika InfoSolutions
ex(String Chakrikaname, int InfoSolutions
age) Chakrika InfoSolutions
{
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
name1 = name;
age1 =age;
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions
public String Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
toString()
{ of Quality...
Origin Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
return “Mr/Mrs ”+name1+“ was ”+age1+“ years old”;
}
}
Chakrika class toStringEx
InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
{Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
public static void main(String ar[])
{
ex ob = new ex(“Sai”,45);
System.out.println(ob);
Chakrika InfoSolutions
} of Quality...Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}

While compiling and running this program the output will be,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Mr/Mrs Sai was 45Chakrika
years old InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
From example, you can see that a class ex has a constructor with two arguments
one String type and one Integer type. They are assigned to local variable and in
toString( ) method they are concatenated with the string values. When a object for
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
that class ob is created in main( ) InfoSolutions
method, the toString( ) Chakrika
method will beInfoSolutions
called and
a Origin
string of
value is return
Quality... to it. When that object is printed the
Origin of Quality... string value in it will be of Quality...
Origin
displayed as show above.

Extracting the Characters and Bytes

Chakrika InfoSolutions
You can extract Chakrika InfoSolutions
characters or Bytes Chakrika
from a string object using InfoSolutions
the method provided
byOrigin of Quality...
the String class. Their general form is,Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

char charAt(int index)

void getChars(int srcBegin, int srcEnd, char dst[ ], int dstBegin)
Chakrika InfoSolutions
char[ ] toCharArray(Chakrika
) InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
void getBytes(int srcBegin, int srcEnd, byte dst[ ], int dstBegin)
byte[ ] getBytes( )

To get a character at particular position charAt( ) method are used. The index
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
position of the character that you want to extract is passed as argument value to that
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
method. It will return a character in that index position. For example,

char c = “Hello”.charAt(2);

The character at index position 2 (i.e., ‘l’) is return by the method and it is stored
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
in character variable c. InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Sometime you need to extract a group of character from a string, for that you can
use the getChars( ) method. In this method, srcBegin is the index position of source
form which is the character which has to been extracted, srcEnd is the index posi-
Chakrika InfoSolutions
tion of source where Chakrika
you stop the InfoSolutions Chakrika
extraction, dst[] is the destination InfoSolutions
character array
where you store the extracted characters, and dstBegin is from which position ofOrigin
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... the of Quality...
character array you start to store the values. Thus, the character array contains the
characters from srcBegin through srcEnd–1. For example,

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

char c[]=new char[3]; InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
“All the best”.getChars(0,4,c,0);

While printing the c value it will display as “All”

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

If you want to convert InfoSolutions
all the characters Chakrika
in a String object InfoSolutions
into a character array,
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
the easiest way is to call toCharArray( ). It returns an array of characters for the entire
string.

Let’s see an example for character extraction,

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
class string13
{
public static void main(String ar[])
{
Chakrika InfoSolutions
String Chakrika s = “East InfoSolutions
or west home is best”; Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
char c1 = s.charAt(3);
char c2[] = new char[10];
s.getChars(10,18,c2,0);
char c3[]=s.toCharArray();
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
System.out.println(c1); InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
System.out.println(c2);
System.out.println(c3);
}
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
While compiling and running this program the output will be,
t
st home
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
East or west home is best
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
If you want to extract the group of bytes from a string, then you can used the get-
Bytes( ) method which is an alternative to getChars( ). If you want to convert whole
string into a byte array you can use the getBytes( ) method with the argument and
return type as byte array. For example,
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
byte b[]=new byte[5];

Here, str is the String object which you want to compared with the invoking String
object. It returns a boolean value as the return type. The equals( ) method compare
the character and its case also. It returns true if all the character and case are similar,
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
if character or any case is differentInfoSolutions
then it returns false. Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
If you want to compare only one character but not its case means then you can use
the equalsIgnoreCase( ) method. It compares only the characters and not the cases.
If all the characters are similar it returns true, otherwise returns false.

form is,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
int compareTo(StringChakrika
str) InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
int compareToIgnoreCase(String str)

Here, str is the String being compared with the invoking String. These methods
will return an integer value as the result. If two strings are equal zero will be returned.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
The regionMatches( ) methodInfoSolutions
is used to compare the Chakrika InfoSolutions
part of the string with the
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
specified string. There is an overloaded form that allows you to ignore case in such
comparisons. Their general form is,

java.lang.StringBuffer
String is a class where the values are fixed and any modification in it cannot be
done directly into it. You can copy it into another object and there you can do the
Chakrika InfoSolutions
modification. This Chakrika InfoSolutions
problem is solved in the StringBuffer Chakrika
class which is aInfoSolutions
peer Origin
class of Quality...
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
of String that provides much functionality of strings. StringBuffer represents grow-
able and writeable character sequences. You can do any modification like insertion,
deletion or updating into string using StringBuffer class. It posses three constructor
format they are,
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
StringBuffer(
Origin )
of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
StringBuffer(int size)
StringBuffer(String obj)

Chakrika InfoSolutions
The first one is Chakrika InfoSolutions
the default constructor Chakrika
which has default capacity of InfoSolutions
16 without
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
reallocation. The second one with an integer argument is used to set the size by you
explicitly. The third one with String argument is used to initial the StringBuffer with
a string object and reserves room for 16 more characters without reallocation.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Finding
Origin oflength and capacity
Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Like the string class the StringBuffer class also have a length( ) method to find the
length of the string which is stored, and a method to find the total allocated capacity
called the capacity( ) method. Their general forms is,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
int length( )
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
int capacity( )

For example,

Changing the length and capacity

Sometime you like to set the length for a StringBuffer object to some specific

characters stored beyond the length will be lost.

Sometimes you want to set a minimum capacity that the StringBuffer object should
Chakrika InfoSolutions
have, Chakrika
for this StringBuffer InfoSolutions
class provide Chakrika )InfoSolutions
a method called ensureCapacity( to do this.
The general
Origin form is,

void ensureCapacity(int capacity)

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Where, capacity specifies InfoSolutions
the minimum Chakrika
size a buffer should have. InfoSolutions

To extract Origin of Quality...
a part of a string from a StringBuffer Origin of Quality...
object StringBuffer class provide
two overloaded substring( ) method. Their general forms is,
String substring(int IndexBegin)
Chakrika InfoSolutions
String substring(int Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
IndexBegin, int IndexEnd)
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The first form returns the substring that starts at startBegin and runs to the end
of the invoking StringBuffer object. The second form returns the substring that starts
at IndexBegin and runs through IndexEnd–1. For example,

Overview
Java provides built-in support for multithreaded programming. A multithreaded program
Chakrikacontains
InfoSolutions
two or more partsChakrika InfoSolutions
that can run concurrently. Chakrika
Each part of InfoSolutions
such a program is called a
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
thread, and each thread defines a separate path of execution. A multithreading is a specialized
form of multitasking. Multitasking threads require less overhead than multitasking processes.

I need to define another term related to threads: process: A process consists of the memory
Chakrikaspace
InfoSolutions Chakrika
allocated by the operating InfoSolutions
system that Chakrika
can contain one or more InfoSolutions
threads. A thread cannot
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
exist on its own; it must be a part of a process. A process remains running until all of the non-
daemon threads are done executing. Multithreading enables you to write very efficient programs
that make maximum use of the CPU, because idle time can be kept to a minimum.
ChakrikaMultithreading
InfoSolutions has severalChakrika InfoSolutions
advantages over Multiprocessing such Chakrika
as; InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
•• Threads are lightweight compared to processes
•• Threads share the same address space and therefore can share both data and code
•• Context switching between threads is usually less expensive than between processes

Above mentioned stages are explained here:

•• New: A new thread begins its life cycle in the new state. It remains in this state

until the program InfoSolutions
starts the thread. Chakrika
It is also referred to InfoSolutions
as a born thread.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
•• Runnable: After a newly born thread is started, the thread becomes runnable. A
thread in this state is considered to be executing its task.
•• Waiting: Sometimes a thread transitions to the waiting state while the thread waits

•• Timed waiting: A runnable thread can enter the timed waiting state for a speci-
fied interval of time. A thread in these state transitions back to the runnable state
when that time interval expires or when the event it is waiting for occurs.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
•• Terminated: A runnable thread enters the terminated state when it completes

Creating a Main Thread
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Every Java program has one thread, even if you don’t create any threads. This
thread is called the main thread because it is the thread that executes when you start
your program. The main thread spawns threads that you create. These are called child
Chakrika InfoSolutions
threads. The
Chakrika InfoSolutions
main thread is always the lastOrigin
thread

Quality... Origin of Quality...
the main thread needs to release a resource used by the program such as network
connections.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Programmers can InfoSolutions
control the main Chakrika
thread by first creating InfoSolutions
a Thread object and then
using method members of the Thread object to control the main thread. You create
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
a Thread object by calling the currentThread() method. The currentThread() method
returns a reference to the thread. You then use this reference to control the main thread
just like you control any thread, which you’ll learn how to do in this chapter.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Let’s create a reference to the main thread and then change the name of the thread

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

A thread is automatically InfoSolutions
created Chakrika
when you execute a program. InfoSolutions
The objective of this
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
example is to declare a reference to a thread and then assign that reference a reference
to the main thread. This is done in the first statement of the main() method.

We declare the reference by specifying the name of the class and the name for the
Chakrika InfoSolutions
reference, which is Chakrika InfoSolutions
done in the following line of code: Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Thread t

We acquire a reference to the main thread by calling the currentThread() method

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
member of the Thread class using InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
the following method call:
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Thread.currentThread()

The reference returned by the currentThread() method is then assigned to the

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
reference previously declared in the opening statement. We then display the thread
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
on the screen:

Thread[main, 5,main]
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Information within the square brackets tells us something about the thread. The first
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
appearance of the word main is the name of the thread. The number 5 is the thread’s
priority, which is normal priority. The priority ranges from 1 to 10, where 1 is the low-

the group of threads with which the thread belongs. A thread group is a data structure

used to of
control
Chakrika InfoSolutions
the state of a collection Origin
of threads.
Chakrika InfoSolutions
You don’t need to be concerned
Origin Quality... of Quality... Origin of Quality...
about a thread group because the Java run-time environment handles this.

The setName() method is then called to illustrate how you have control over the

Runnable Interface Implementation

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
The procedure for creating threads based on the Runnable interface is as
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
follows:
1. A class implements the Runnable interface, providing the run() method that will
be executed by the thread. An object of this class is a Runnable object, which is
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
declared like this:
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
public void run( )
2. An object of Thread class is created by passing a Runnable object as argument to
the Thread constructor. The Thread object now has a Runnable object that imple-
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
ments the run() method. InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality...
3. The start() method is invoked on theOrigin
Threadof Quality...
object created in the previous Origin
step. of Quality...
The start() method returns immediately after a thread has been spawned.
4. The thread ends when the run() method ends, either by normal completion or
by throwing an uncaught exception. To start the thread you need to invoke the
Chakrika InfoSolutions
start()
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
method on your object.

Extending the Thread Class
The procedure for creating threads based on extending the Thread is as follows:
1. A class extending the Thread class overrides the run() method from the
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
Thread class to define theInfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
code executed by the thread.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
2. This subclass may call a Thread constructor explicitly in its constructors to
initialize the thread, using the super() call.
3. The start() method inherited from the Thread class is invoked on the object
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
of the class InfoSolutions
to make the thread Chakrika
eligible for running. To start the InfoSolutions
thread you

Creating Multiple Threads

The Java programming language does not allow multiple inheritances. This is the
Chakrika InfoSolutions
major pitfall of thisChakrika InfoSolutions
solution. So far, Chakrika
you have been using only InfoSolutions
two threads: the main
Originand
thread of Quality... Origin
one child thread. However, your of Quality...
program Origin
can spawn as many threads as of Quality...
it needs.

Let us see an example program,

Quality... implements Origin

Using isAlive() and join()

Chakrika InfoSolutions
The main threadChakrika
must be the lastInfoSolutions Chakrika
thread to finish. Sometimes InfoSolutions
this is accomplished by
Originsleep()
calling within main( ), with a longOrigin
of Quality... enoughof delay to ensure that all child threads
Quality... Origin of Quality...
terminate prior to the main thread. However, this is hardly a satisfactory solution, and it

also raises a larger question: How can one thread know when another thread has ended?
Fortunately, Thread provides a means by which you can answer this question.

Chakrika InfoSolutions
Two ways existChakrika
to determine InfoSolutions Chakrika
whether a thread has finished. InfoSolutions
First, you can call
isAlive(
Origin of) Quality...
on the thread. This method isOrigin by Thread, and its general form
of Quality...
defined Origin
is of Quality...
shown here:

final boolean isAlive( )

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality...
The isAlive( ) method returns true if Origin of Quality...
the thread upon which it is called is still Origin
run- of Quality...
ning. It returns false otherwise. While isAlive( ) is occasionally useful, the method
that you will more commonly use to wait for a thread to finish is called join( ), shown
here:
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Originfinal void join( ) throws InterruptedException
of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

This method waits until the thread on which it is called terminates. Its name
comes from the concept of the calling thread waiting until the specified thread joins
Chakrika InfoSolutions
it. Additional formsChakrika
of join() allow InfoSolutions
you to specify a maximum Chakrika InfoSolutions
amount of time that you
want to of
Origin wait for the specified thread to terminate.
Quality... Here is an improved version ofOrigin
Origin of Quality... the of Quality...
preceding example that uses join( ) to ensure that the main thread is the last to stop.
It also demonstrates the isAlive( ) method.

Thread Priorities
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Java provides the priority in the form of integer value to each of its thread which
decides how that particular thread will be treated in comparison to the other threads
which are running. This priority doesn’t really work if there’s only single thread which
Chakrika InfoSolutions
is running. Ideally itChakrika
is said that theInfoSolutions Chakrika
higher priority threads more CPU timeInfoSolutions
but practi-
cally theofscenario
Origin is not like this as the CPU
Quality... timeofdepends
Origin Quality...on various other factorsOrigin
too of Quality...
apart from the thread priority. This switching from execution of one thread to another
on the basis of its priority value is called “Context Switch”.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

The basic rules for context InfoSolutions
switch are as under: Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
•• A thread can voluntarily relinquish control. In this scenario, all other threads
are examined, and the highest-priority thread that is ready to run is given the
CPU.
Chakrika InfoSolutions
•• A thread can Chakrika
be preempted InfoSolutions Chakrika
by a higher-priority thread. InfoSolutions
In this case, a lower-
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
priority thread that does not yield the processor is simply preempted—no matter
what it is doing—by a higher-priority thread. Basically, as soon as a higher-priority
thread wants to run, it does. This is called preemptive multitasking.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
Since java is designed to work inInfoSolutions
various environments itChakrika InfoSolutions
is very important that the
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
threads which have same level of priority should be controlled once in a while.

To set a thread’s priority, use the setPriority( ) method, which is a member method
Chakrika of Thread.
InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
General syntax of thread priority is final void setPriority ( Int level)

Level is the new priority setting for the particular calling thread and this value may
range from the MIN_PRIORITY and MAX_PRIORITY.

Chakrika InfoSolutions
We can always Chakrika InfoSolutions
find out the current priority setting byChakrika InfoSolutions
calling the getPriority( )
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
method of the thread by writing this line of code final int getPriority( )

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
It is basically the mechanism which helps two or more threads to share all the avail-
able resources in a sequential manner thus making sure that one resource is been used
by only one single thread at a time thus avoiding the problem of collision or conflict
between the threads and it is done in Java with the concept of “monitor” also named
Chakrika InfoSolutions
as “semaphore”. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The basic working mechanism of monitor works in a way that it works like a lock
and this monitor can be owned by only one thread at a time and until the time this
monitor or lock is been released by that particular thread the other threads are said to
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
be in the waiting stage InfoSolutions
to acquire for that monitor or lock. Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
In Java we can enter into any monitor or lock by calling the method that has been
modified with the synchronized keyword.

to define synchronized blocks. Chakrika InfoSolutions

through wait ( ), notify

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

The basic functionality of each oneInfoSolutions
of them is as under: Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
•• wait( ) acts as a intimation to the calling thread to give up the monitor and go to
sleep until some other thread enters the same monitor and calls notify( ).
•• notify( ) is used as intimator to wake up the first thread that called wait( ) on the
Chakrika InfoSolutions
same object. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Suspending, Resuming, and Stopping Threads
Suspending, Resuming and stopping threads: Suspending a thread in java is quite
an easy task and similarly we can resume that particular thread also in a very simple
Chakrika InfoSolutions
way. The thread canChakrika
be suspendedInfoSolutions
using suspend ( ) method,Chakrika InfoSolutions
resumed with resume
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
( ) and stopped using stop ( ).

Suspend at times create serious troubles as it may happen that if a thread is sus-
pended at a time when it has acquired some resources and now the other threads will
Chakrika InfoSolutions
beOrigin
waiting
Chakrika InfoSolutions
for those resources hence causing the
Chakrika InfoSolutions
of Quality... Origin ofsituation
Quality... of a deadlock, so it is Origin
tried of Quality...
to be avoided.

The resume () is also avoided as it is the counterpart of suspend ( ) and can’t be

Chakrika implemented
InfoSolutions without suspend ( ). InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Chakrika
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Stop( ) too sometimes ends up into serious trouble situations so Java 2 came up
with a better alternative of run ( ) which will regularly keep a check as to when a thread
should resume, suspend or stop its own execution and thus is based on the setting of
Chakrika InfoSolutions
a flag on each thread
should be allowed

to run, suspend

We must understand that the threads run with respect to the OS. We cannot assure
the thread process since it depends upon the OS used. We must understand that, if you
create too many threads, you can actually degrade the performance of your program

implementations.
•• Provides interoperability between unrelated APIs by establishing a common
language to pass collections back and forth.

•• Reduces

The Collection Interfaces

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
There are nine collection InfoSolutions
interfaces. Chakrika
The most basic interface InfoSolutions
is Collection. Five

interfaces Origin of Quality...
extend Collection: Set, List, SortedSet, Queue, and BlockingQueue.Origin
The of Quality...
other three collection interfaces, Map, SortedMap, and ConcurrentMap do not extend
Collection, as they represent mappings rather than true collections. However, these
interfaces contain collection-view operations, which allow them to be manipulated
Chakrika InfoSolutions
as collections. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
All of the modification methods in the collection interfaces are labeled optional.
Some implementations may not perform one or more of these operations, throws
a runtime exception (UnsupportedOperationException) if they are attempted.
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Implementations must Chakrika InfoSolutions
specify their documentation withChakrika InfoSolutions
optional operations they
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
support. Several terms are introduced to aid in this specification:

•• Collections that do not support any modification operations (such as add, remove
and clear) are referred to as unmodifiable. Collections that are not unmodifiable
Chakrika InfoSolutions
are referred toChakrika
modifiable. InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

•• Collections that additionally guarantee that no change in the Collection object will
ever be visible are referred to as immutable. Collections that are not immutable
are referred to as mutable.

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
•• Lists that guarantee that their size remains constant even though the elements
may change are referred to as fixed-size. Lists that are not fixed-size are referred
to as variable-size.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
•• Lists that support InfoSolutions

are known
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
as random access lists. Lists that do not support fast indexed element access are
known as sequential access lists. The RandomAccess marker interface is provided
to allow lists to advertise the fact that they support random access. This allows
generic algorithms to alter their behavior to provide good performance when
Chakrika InfoSolutions
applied Chakrika
to either InfoSolutions
random or sequential access lists. Chakrika InfoSolutions

Some implementations may restrict what elements (or in the case of Maps, keys
and values) may be stored. Possible restrictions include requiring elements:

The Collection interface is the primary interface which is implemented by all the
collection classes. It is the foundation upon which the collections framework is built.
It has lot of predefined methods that are widely used by all collection classes. They

Objects are added to a collection by calling add( ). However, primitive types may
not. For example, a collection cannot directly store values of type int, char, double, and
so forth. Of course, if you want to store such objects. You can add the entire contents

You can remove an object by using remove( ). To remove a group of objects, call

Chakrika retainAll( ). To empty
InfoSolutions Chakrika call clear( ). You can determine
a collection, InfoSolutions whether InfoSolutions

Set Interface
The Set interface defines a set. It extends Collection and declares the behavior
of a collection that does not allow duplicate elements. Therefore, the add( ) method

SortedSet Interface
Chakrika InfoSolutions
The SortedSet Chakrika InfoSolutions
interface extends Set and declares the Chakrika InfoSolutions
behavior of a set sorted in
ascending order. In addition to those methods

has it own method.

SortedSet defines several methods that make set processing more convenient. To
Chakrika InfoSolutions
obtain Chakrika
the first object InfoSolutions
in the set, call first( ). To get the lastChakrika
element, use InfoSolutions
last( ). You
can obtain
Origin a subset of a sorted set by calling

object in the set. If you need the subset that starts with the first element in the set, use
headSet( ). If you want the subset that ends the set, use tailSet( ).

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
overcome this, Java provides a class called ArrayList in collection which supports
dynamic arrays that can grow as needed. That is, an ArrayList can dynamically increase
or decrease in size. The constructor provided by the ArrayList class is,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
ArrayList( ) Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

ArrayList(int capacity)

The first constructor builds an empty array list. The second constructor builds an

over time. This class permits the nullChakrika
element. InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
This class offers constant time performance for the basic operations (add, remove,

among the buckets. Iterating over this set requires time proportional to the sum of

Iterator and ListIterator Interface
Sometime you like to iterate through the elements in a collection. For this the
Collection Framework provides two interfaces to iterate through the collection class
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
object, they are Iterator InfoSolutions
and ListIterator interfaces. TheChakrika InfoSolutions
Iterator enables you to
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
cycle through a collection, obtaining or removing elements. ListIterator extends
Iterator to allow bidirectional traversal of a list, and the modification of elements.

The methods of the Iterator Interface are,

Map Interface is used to map keys to value. A map cannot contain duplicate keys;
each key can map to at most one value. A key is an object that is used to retrieve a
value later. Given a key and a value, you can store the value in a Map object. After the
Chakrika InfoSolutions
value is stored, youChakrika InfoSolutions
can retrieve it by using its key. Chakrika InfoSolutions

HashMap(int capacity, float loadFactor)

An instance of HashMap has two parameters that affect its performance: initial
Chakrika InfoSolutions
capacity Chakrika
and load factor. InfoSolutions
The capacity Chakrika
is the number of buckets in the hashInfoSolutions
table, and
the initial capacity is that simply the capacity at the time the hash table is created.Origin
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... The of Quality...
load factor is a measure of how full the hash table is allowed to get before its capacity
is automatically increased. When the number of entries in the hash table exceeds the
product of the load factor and the current capacity, the capacity is roughly doubled by
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
calling the rehash method.

The Enumeration interface specifies a set of methods that may be used to enu-

When it is implemented, hasMoreElements( ) must return true while there are

Dictionary Class
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
The Dictionary
Origin of Quality... class is the abstract parent

ofany class, such as Hashtable, which
Quality... Origin of Quality...
maps keys to values. Every key and every value is an object. In any one Dictionary
object, every key is associated with at most one value. Given a Dictionary and a key,
the associated element can be looked up. Any non-null object can be used as a key
Chakrika InfoSolutions
and as a value. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
We can use put ( ) method to add a key and value, a get( ) method to find the value
for any key. The keys and the values can be returned as an enumeration by the keys( )
method and elements ( ) method. We can also delete the key or value pair by using
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
the remove ( ) method.

An instance of Hashtable has two parameters that affect its performance: initial
capacity and load factor. The capacity is the number of buckets in the hash table,

and the initial capacity InfoSolutions
is simply the Chakrika
capacity at the time the hash table isInfoSolutions
created.

Note that the hash table is open: in the case of a “hash collision”, a single bucket
stores multiple entries, which must be searched sequentially. The load factor is a
measure of how full the hash table is allowed to get before its capacity is automati-

Properties Class
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Properties Class is a predefined java class which is used to represent a constant
set of Properties. We can create properties and store it in a file and retrieve it later for
future use. This can be used in complex Application to retain a set of values. Each in
Chakrika InfoSolutions
every property has aChakrika
key and value.InfoSolutions Chakrika
Both key and value are Strings. InfoSolutions
Key is used to refer

to the value. The two constructor of Properties Class are,

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
A property list can contain another property list as its “defaults”; this second prop-

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Because Properties InfoSolutions
inherits from Hashtable, the put andChakrika InfoSolutions

applied to a Properties object. Their use is strongly discouraged as they allow the caller

Stack Class
The Stack class represents a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) stack of objects. It extends
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
class Vector with five operations that allow a vector to be treated as a stack. The usual
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

the stack, a method to test whether the stack is empty, and a method to search the
stack for an item and discover how far it is from the top.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
The methods provided by the stack class are,

StringTokenizer

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
tokenization method InfoSolutions
is much simpler Chakrika
than the one used by the InfoSolutions
StreamTokenizer class.
Origin
The of Quality... methods do not distinguish

among identifiers, numbers,Origin
and of Quality...
quoted strings, nor do they recognize and skip comments. The set of delimiters may
be specified either at creation time or on a per-token basis.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

An instance of StringTokenizer Chakrika
behaves in one of two ways, InfoSolutions
depending on whether

was created with the returnDelims flagOrigin
havingofthe

value true or false: Origin of Quality...

•• If the flag is false, delimiter characters serve to separate tokens. A token is a maxi-

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
•• If the flag is true, InfoSolutions
delimiter characters Chakrika
are themselves considered to beInfoSolutions
tokens. A

A StringTokenizer InfoSolutions
object internally maintains a currentChakrika InfoSolutions
position within the string

of dates as year, month, day, hour, minute, and second values. It also allowed the for-
matting and parsing of date strings. Unfortunately, the API for these functions was
not amenable to internationalization. As of JDK 1.1, the Calendar class should be used

Overview
JDK 1.5 introduces several extensions to the Java programming language. One of these is
ChakrikatheInfoSolutions Chakrika
introduction of generics. InfoSolutions
You may be familiar Chakrika
with similar constructs InfoSolutions
from other languages,
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
most notably C++ templates. If so, you’ll soon see that there are both similarities and important
differences in it. In this chapter you are going to see in detail.

ChakrikaType-Safety Issues in
InfoSolutions Java
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Java is a strongly typed language. When programming with Java, at compile time, you expect
to know if you pass a wrong type of parameter to a method. For instance, if you define

Cat ob = aBookReference; // ERROR

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Where, aBookReference is a reference of type Book, which is not related to Cat, you would
get a compilation error.

Unfortunately though, when Java was introduced, this was not carried through fully into the
ChakrikaCollections
InfoSolutions
library. So, forChakrika InfoSolutions
instance, you can write Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Vector vec = new Vector();

vec.add(“hello”);
Chakrika InfoSolutions
vec.add(new Cat());Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
…

There is no control on what type of object you place into the Vector. Let us see with an
example,
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
import java.util.*;
public class TypeEx
{
Chakrika InfoSolutions

int total = 0;
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Iterator iter Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

while(iter.hasNext())
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
{

}
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
System.out.println(total);
} Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

From the example you can see that an ArrayList, added it with some Integer values,
and then total the values by extracting the Integer out of the ArrayList.

Chakrika InfoSolutions

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
list.add(“hello”);
}

You will not get any compilation errors. However, the program will not execute

correctly. You will get the followingInfoSolutions

Evaluation of Generics

If you are familiar with C++ InfoSolutions Chakrika
then you may know about InfoSolutions
the C++ Templates.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Templates give you type-safety while allowing you to write code that is general, that is,
it is not specific to any particular type. While C++ template is a very powerful concept,
there are a few disadvantages with it. First, not all compilers support it well. Second,
it is fairly complex that it takes quite an effort to get good at using it. Lastly, there are

you get fancy with it. When Java came out, most features in C++ that was complex,
like templates and operator overloading, were avoided.

In Java 5, finally it was decided to introduce Generics. Though generics – the ability
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
to write general or generic code which is independent of a particular type – is similar
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
to the template in C++ in concept, there are a number of differences. For one, unlike
C++ where different classes are generated for each parameterized type, in Java, there
is only one class for each generic type, irrespective of how many different types you
Chakrika instantiated it with.Chakrika
InfoSolutions The work of Generics in Java originatedChakrika

Writing Generic Classes

The syntax for writing a generic class is pretty simple. Let us see an example for a
Chakrika InfoSolutions
generic class: Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
public class Pair<E>
{
private E obj1;
Chakrika InfoSolutions
private E Chakrikaobj2; InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
public
Origin Pair(E element1, EOrigin
of Quality... element2)
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
{
obj1 = element1;
obj2 = element2;
Chakrika InfoSolutions
} Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
public E getFirstObject()
{
return obj1;
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions
public Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
E getSecondObject() InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
{
return obj2;
}
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
This class represents a pair of values of some generic type E. Let’s look at some
examples of usage of this class:

Pair<Double> aPair
Chakrika InfoSolutions = new Pair<Double>(new
Chakrika InfoSolutions Double(1), new Double(2.2));
Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
If we try to create an object with types that mismatch we will get a compilation
error. For instance, let us see an example:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Pair<Double> anotherPair
Double(2.2));
InfoSolutions
= new Chakrika
Pair<Double>(new Integer(1), InfoSolutions
new
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Here, an instance of Integer and an instance of Double to the instance of Pair is

send as argument. However, this will result in a compilation error.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Generics and Substitutability
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Generics honor the Liskov’s Substitutability Principle4. Let us see with an example.
Say you have a Basket of Fruits. To it you can add Oranges, Bananas, Grapes, etc. Now,
Chakrika let’s you create a Basket
InfoSolutions of Banana.InfoSolutions
Chakrika To this, you should only be able to add
Chakrika Bananas.
InfoSolutions
ItOrigin

Quality... other types of fruits. Banana is a
Origin of Quality... Fruit, i.e., Banana inherits
Origin of Quality...
from Fruit. Should Basket of Banana inherit from Basket for Fruits as shown in Figure

below? If Basket of Banana were to inherit from Basket of Fruit, then you may get a
reference of type Basket of Fruit to refer to an instance of Basket of Banana. Then, using
this reference, you may add a Banana to the basket, but you may also add an Orange.
Chakrika InfoSolutions
While adding a Banana Chakrika
to a BasketInfoSolutions
of Banana is OK, addingChakrika InfoSolutions
an Orange is not. At best,
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
this will result in a runtime exception. However, the code that uses Basket of Fruits Origin of Quality...
may not know how to handle this. The Basket of Banana is not substitutable where a
Basket of Fruits is used.

Origin of Quality... Fruit OriginBasket-Of-Fruit
of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Banana Basket-Of-Banana

Generics honor this principle. Let’s look at this example:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Pair<Object> objectPair = new Pair<Integer>(new Integer(1), new
Integer(2));

This code will produce a compile time error:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
OriginError: line (9) incompatible types found :
of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Pair<java.lang.Integer>
required: Pair<java.lang.Object>

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Now, what if you want to treatInfoSolutions Chakrika
different type of Pair commonly as oneInfoSolutions
type? This
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
will be discussed in the Wildcard section.

Before that, let’s look at one weird behavior though. While

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Pair<Object> objectPair = new Pair<Integer>(new Integer(1), new
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Integer(2));

is not allowed, the following is allowed, however:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Pair objectPair = new Pair<Integer> (new Integer(1), new Integer(2));
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

The Pair without any parameterized type is the non-generic form of the Pair class.
Each generic class also has a non-generic form so it can be accessed from a non-generic
code. This allows for backward compatibility with existing code or code that has not
Chakrika InfoSolutions
been ported
Chakrika InfoSolutions
to use generics. While thisOrigin
compatibility
Chakrika InfoSolutions
has a certain advantage,Origin
this of Quality...
Origin of Quality... of Quality...
feature can lead to some confusion and also type-safety issues.

Generic Methods
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
In addition to classes, methods may also be parameterized. Let us see with an
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
example,

The filter() method copies alternate elements from the in Collection to the out
Collection. The <T> in front of the void indicates that the method is a generic method
with <T> being the parameterized type. Let’s look at a usage of this generic method:
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrikalst1
ArrayList<Integer> InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

System.out.println(lst2.size());

Here, an ArrayList lst1 is populate with three values and then filter its contents into
another ArrayList lst2. The size of the lst2 after the call to filter() method is 2.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Now, let’s look at a slightly different call:

ArrayList<Double> dblLst = new ArrayList<Double>();

filter(lst1, dblLst);
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Here you get a compilation error:

good. However,
Origin let’s try the following:

Like it or not, this code compiles with no error and the call to lst3.size() returns a
1. First, why did this compile and what’s going on here? The compiler bends over its
back to accommodate calls to generic methods, if possible. In this case, by treating
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
lst3 as a simple ArrayList, withoutInfoSolutions
any parameterized type Chakrika
that is, it is ableInfoSolutions
to call the
filter method. Now, this can lead to some problems. Let’s add another statement toOrigin
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... the of Quality...
example above. When you start typing, it says that the call to the get() method takes
an index and returns an Integer. Here is the completed code:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrikalst3

ArrayList<Integer> InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
= new ArrayList<Integer>();
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
ArrayList lst = new ArrayList();
lst.add(“hello”);

System.out.println(lst3.size());
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
System.out.println(lst3.get(0)); InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

So, what do you think should happen when you run this code? May be runtime
exception? Well, surprise! You get the following output for this code segment:
Chakrika InfoSolutions
1 Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
OriginHello
of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Why is that? The answer is in what actually gets compiled. The short answer for
now is, even though code completion suggested that an Integer is being returned, in
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
reality the return type is Object. So,InfoSolutions
the String “hello” managedChakrika InfoSolutions
to get through without
any error.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Now, what happens if you add the following code:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

for(Integer InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
val: lst3)
{ of Quality...
Origin Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
wSystem.out.println(val);
}

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Here, clearly, you InfoSolutions
ask for an Integer Chakrika
from the collection. This code InfoSolutions
will raise a
ClassCastException.
Origin of Quality... While Generics areOrigin
supposed to make our code type-safe,Origin

example shows how we can easily, with intent or by mistake, bypass that, and at best,
end up with runtime exception, or at worst, have the code silently misbehave.

Let’s say you want to write a simple generic method to determine the max of two

You would use it as shown below:

Now,of the

This will not work. The > operator is not defined on references. How can you then
compare the two objects? The Comparable interface comes to mind. So, why not use
the comparable interface to get our work done:
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
public
Origin of static
Quality... <T> T max(T obj1,
Origin T obj2)
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
{
// Not elegant code

}
Chakrika InfoSolutions
return obj2; Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

}

While this code may work, there are two problems. First, it is ugly. Second, you
have to consider the case where the cast to Comparable fails. Since you are so heavily
Chakrika InfoSolutions
dependent
Chakrika InfoSolutions
on the type implementing this Origin
interface,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
why not ask the compiler to enforce
Origin of Quality... of Quality... Origin of Quality...
this. That is exactly what upper bounds do for us. Here is the code:

public static <T extends Comparable> T max(T obj1, T obj2)

Chakrika InfoSolutions
{ Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
if of(obj1.compareTo(obj2)
Origin Quality... > 0)of Quality...
Origin Origin of Quality...
{
return obj1;
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions
return obj2; Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}

The compiler will check to make sure that the parameterized type given when call-
ing this method implements the Comparable interface. If you try to call max() with
Chakrika InfoSolutions

that does not implement Chakrika

The of

Quality... that

Quality... Origin of Quality...
The Cat, which extends Animal, overrides this method. Let’s try to use the Cat class
in an example:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

Collection<Cat> ob =InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
new ArrayList<Cat>();
Cat
Origin ob1 = new Cat();
of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Here you create an instance of Cat and send a Collection of Cat to its playWith()

method. We get a compilation InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
error:
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Error: line (10) cannot find symbol

Chakrika InfoSolutions
This is becauseChakrika
a Collection ofInfoSolutions
ob1 can’t be treated asChakrika InfoSolutions
a Collection of Animals
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
which the playWith() method expects. However, it would make sense to be able to
send a Collection of Dogs to this method, isn’t it? How can we do that? This is where
the wildcard or unknown type comes in.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
We modify
Origin both the playMethod() methods
of Quality... (inof
Origin Animal and Cat) as follows:
Quality... Origin of Quality...

public void playWith(Collection<?> playGroup)

Chakrika InfoSolutions
Collection is notChakrika InfoSolutions
the type Animal. Chakrika
Instead it is of unknown InfoSolutions
type (?). Unknown type

not Object, Origin of Quality...
it is just unknown or unspecified. Origin of Quality...

Now, the code

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

ob1.playWith(ob);
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
compiles with no error.

There is a problem however. We can also write:

The change you made to allow a Collection of Cats to be sent to the playWith()

Let’s consider one final example. Assume we want to copy elements from one col-

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

public static InfoSolutions
<T> void Chakrika
copy(Collection<T> from,InfoSolutions

Let’s try using this method:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

ArrayList<Cat> InfoSolutions
catList1 Chakrika InfoSolutions
= new ArrayList<Cat>();
ArrayList<Cat>
Origin of Quality... catList2 =Origin
newofArrayList<Cat>();
Quality... Origin of Quality...
//…
copy(catList1, catList2);

Chakrika InfoSolutions
In this code we Chakrika
are copying ob1InfoSolutions
from one Cat ArrayListChakrika InfoSolutions
to another. Since ob1 are
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Animals, a Cat may be in both a Cat’s ArrayList and an Animal’s ArrayList, isn’t it? So,
here is the code to copy from a Cat’s ArrayList to an Animal’s ArrayList.

ArrayList<Animal> animalList = new ArrayList<Animal>();

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
copy(catList1, InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
animalList);
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

This code, however, fails compilation with error:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

How can we make this work? This is where the lower bounds come in. Our intent
for the second argument of Copy is for it to be of either type T or any type that is a
base type of T. Here is the code:
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Unchecked Warning
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The Java compiler will warn you if it can’t verify type-safety. You would see
this if you mix generic and non-generic code. Developing applications, while leav-
ing these kinds of warnings unattended is a risk. It is better to treat warnings as
Chakrika InfoSolutions
errors. Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Consider the following example:

public class GenericEx

Chakrika InfoSolutions
{ Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
public static void foo1(Collection c)
{
}
public static void foo2(Collection<Integer> c)
Chakrika InfoSolutions
{ of Quality...Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}
public static void main(String ar[])
{
Chakrika Collection<Integer>
InfoSolutions Chakrika coll = new ArrayList<Integer>();
InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Origin offoo1(coll);
Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
ArrayList lst = new ArrayList();
foo2(lst);
}
Chakrika InfoSolutions
} Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
You have a method foo1 which accepts a traditional Collection as parameter.
Method foo2, on the other hand, accepts a generics version of the Collection. You
are sending an object of traditional ArrayList to method foo2. Since the ArrayList may
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
contain objects of different InfoSolutions
types, within the foo2 method,Chakrika
the compiler isInfoSolutions
not able to
guarantee that the Collection<Integer> will contain only instances of Integer.Origin
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The of Quality...
compiler in this case issues a warning as shown below:
Warning: line (22) [unchecked] unchecked conversion

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
required:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

While getting this warning is InfoSolutions Chakrika
certainly better than not being alertedInfoSolutions
about the
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
potential problem, it would have been better if it had been an error instead of a warn-
ing. Use the compilation flag –Xlint to make sure you do not overlook this warning.
There is another problem. In the main method, you are sending generics Collection of
Integer to the method foo1. Even though the compiler does not complain about this,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
this is dangerous.
Chakrika InfoSolutions
What if within the foo1Origin
method
Chakrika InfoSolutions
you add objects of types other Origin
than of Quality...

You may be wondering how in the first place the compiler even allowed you to
treat a generic type as traditional type. Simply put, the reason is, there is no concept
of generics at the byte code level.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Restrictions
There are a number of restrictions when it comes to using generics. You are
not allowed to create an array of generic collections. Any array of collection of
Chakrika InfoSolutions
wildcard
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin ofisQuality...
allowed, but is dangerous from theoftype-safety
Origin Quality... point of view. You Origin
can’t of Quality...
create a generic of primitive type. For example, ArrayList<int> is not allowed. You
are not allowed to create parameterized static fields within a generic class, or have
static methods with parameterized types as parameters. For instance, consider the
Chakrika InfoSolutions
following: Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
class MyClass<T>
{
private Collection<T> myCol1; // OK
Chakrika InfoSolutions
private static Chakrika InfoSolutions
Collection<T> myCol2; Chakrika
// ERROR InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}

Within generic class, you can’t instantiate an object or an array of object of param-
eterized type. For instance, if you have a generic class MyClass<T>, within a method
Chakrika InfoSolutions
ofOrigin
that class
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
you can’t write:
of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
new T();
or
Chakrika InfoSolutions
new T[10]; Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
You may throw an exception of generic type, however, in the catch block, you have
to use a specific type instead of the generic.

Chakrika InfoSolutions
You may inheritChakrika InfoSolutions
your class from another generic class; Chakrika InfoSolutions
however, you can’t inherit
from a parametric
Origin of Quality...type. For instance, while
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

class MyClass2<T> extends MyClass<T>

{
Chakrika InfoSolutions
} Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
is OK,

class MyClass2<T> extends T

Chakrika InfoSolutions
{ Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
}

is not.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
You are not allowed to inherit from two instantiations of the same generic type.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

What is the reason for these restrictions? These restrictions largely arise from the
way generics are implemented. By understanding the mechanism used to implement
generics in Java, you can see where these restrictions come from and why they exist.

Generics Implementation
Generic is a Java language level feature. One of the design goals of generics was to
keep binary compatibility at the byte code level. By requiring no change to JVM, and
Chakrika InfoSolutions
maintaining the sameChakrika
format of theInfoSolutions
class Origin
files (byte Chakrika
code), you InfoSolutions
can easily mix generics
Origin of Quality... of Quality... Origin of Quality...
code and non-generics code. However, this comes at a price. You may end up loosing
what generics are intended to provide in the first place – type-safety.

Does it matter that generics are at the language level and not really at the byte code
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
level? There are two reasons to be concerned. One, if this is only a language level feature,
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
what would happen if and when other languages are expected to run on the JVM? If
the other languages to run on JVM are dynamic languages (Groovy, Ruby, Python, …),
then it may not be a big deal. However, if you attempt to run a strongly typed language
on JVM, this may be an issue. Second, if this is simply a language level feature, then it

Unfortunately, generic in Java does not provide adequate type-safety. It does not
fully serve what it was created for.

So, if generic is a language level feature, what happens when you compile your

a fancy name – type

Let’s look at the effect of erasure on a code that uses a generic type. Consider the

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
lst.add(new Integer(1));

This is translated into:

Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
ArrayList lst = new ArrayList();
lst.add(new Integer(1));
Integer val = (Integer) lst.get(0);
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
When
Origin you assign lst.get(0) to val, typeOrigin

of is performed in the translated code.

If you were to write the code without using generics, you would have done the same.

shown below:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

//addElements(lst);
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
addElements(Collections.checkedList(lst, Integer.class));

The checkedList() method wraps the given ArrayList in an object that will ascer-

Converting non-generic code to generics

Let us see with an example,

here, they may belong elsewhere – in a façade – and the problems we will discuss will
then extend to that class. Now, let’s look at a sample code that uses this class:

Chakrika InfoSolutions

Chakrika InfoSolutions
The above programChakrika InfoSolutions
produces the desired Chakrika InfoSolutions
result as shown below:

We modify the main() method to use the generic type. The only statement modi-
fied is shown below:
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
MyList<Animal>
Origin of Quality... lst = new Origin
MyList<Animal>();
of Quality... Origin of Quality...

The program compiles with no error and produces the same result as before. So,
the conversion from raw-type to generics went very well right? Let’s ship it?
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Well,ofthis
Origin hits right on the head withOrigin
Quality... the issue of testing the code. Without good
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
test, you would end up shipping this code, only to get calls from clients who write code
like the following:

Chakrika InfoSolutions
Dog rover Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
= new Dog();
ArrayList<Dog>
Origin of Quality... dogs = newOrigin
ArrayList<Dog>();
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
dogs.add(snow);
dogs.add(rover);
System.out.println(“Does list contain snow or rover? ”
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
+lst.containsAny(dogs));
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
We get a compilation error:

containsAny(java.util.Collection<Animal>)
Originin of
MyList<Animal>
Quality... cannot be applied to java.util.ArrayList<Dog>)
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

What’s the fix? We need to tweak the containsAny() method a little to accommodate
this reasonable call. The change is shown below:
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
public
Origin boolean containsAny(Collection<?

Now, the program works fine again. However, if the main() is modified as follows,
we get a compilation error yet again:

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

lst.addMany(dogs);
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Once again, this requires tweaking the code, this time the addMany() method.

public void addMany(Collection<? extends E> objects)

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Now, let’s take a look at the copyTo() method. Here is an example to useOrigin

method:

MyList<Dog> myDogs = new MyList<Dog>();

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
myDogs.add(new InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Dog());
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
myDogs.copyTo(new MyList<Dog>());

In the above code, we are copying Dogs from one MyList<Dog> to another
MyList<Dog>. Seems reasonable? Yep and it works. It is also legitimate to copy Dogs
Chakrika InfoSolutions
from a MyList<Dog> Chakrika InfoSolutions
to a MyList<Animal> isn’t it? After all,Chakrika InfoSolutions
a list of Animals can Origin
hold of Quality...
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
Dogs. So, let’s give that a shot:

MyList<Dog> myDogs = new MyList<Dog>();

myDogs.add(new Dog());
Chakrika InfoSolutions
myDogs.copyTo(new
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
MyList<Animal>());
InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

This code, however, results in a compilation error as shown below:

Error: line (36) copyTo(MyList<Dog>) in MyList<Dog> cannot be applied to (MyList<Animal>)
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
In this case, however, you do want a collection of base to be sent to this method.
We have to tweak again, this time the copyTo() method. We want this method to accept
a MyList of Dogs or MyList of Dogs base class. In general terms, we want it to accept
MyList of the parameterized type or MyList of the parameterized type’s base type. So,
Chakrika InfoSolutions
here is the
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
code for that:
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

public void copyTo(MyList<? super E> destination)

Depending on the situation, you may have to use the parameterized type E, a
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
lowerbound, an upper-bound or a wildcard. Unfortunately, this requires quite some
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
thinking. You may easily miss out on these details and the problem may not surface
until someone actually writes a piece of code that exercises your code in a way so as
to bring out the problem.

Overview
Most applications need to process some input and produce some output based on that input.
ChakrikaForInfoSolutions Chakrika
this Java provides a package InfoSolutions
called java.io which contains fairlyChakrika
large number InfoSolutions
of classes that
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
deal with input and output. Most of the classes consist of:
•• Byte streams that are subclasses of InputStream or OutputStream
•• Character streams that are subclasses of Reader and Writer
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

The Reader and Writer classes read and writeOrigin

characters. InputStream reads
8-bit bytes, while OutputStream writes 8-bit bytes.

ChakrikaInput/Output Streams

A stream is a sequence of data. An I/O Stream represents an input source or an output
destination. A stream can represent many different kinds of sources and destinations, including
disk files, devices, other programs, and memory arrays.

Chakrika InfoSolutions
Streams support manyChakrika

of data, including simpleChakrika InfoSolutions
bytes, primitive data types,

The Writer class writes character data to a stream. It has the following methods:
•• write(c)— writes a single character to the text stream
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
•• write(cbuf)— writes a sequence of characters to the text stream
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
•• write(cbuf, off, len)— writes a sequence of characters to the text stream starting

Writing Console Output

Console output is most easily accomplished with print( ) and println( ). These
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
methods are defined by the class PrintStream (which is the type of the object ref-
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
erenced by System.out). Because PrintStream is an output stream derived from
OutputStream, it also implements the low-level method write( ).

The PrintWriter Class
PrintWriter is one of the character-based classes. Using a character-based class
for console output makes it easier to internationalize your program.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
The PrintWriter class enables you to write formatted data to an underlying Writer.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
For instance, writing int, long and other primitive data formatted as text, rather than
as their byte values.

PrintWriter defines several constructors. The common one is,

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
PrintWriter(OutputStream
Origin of Quality... outputStream, boolean flushOnNewline)
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

Here, outputStream is an object of type OutputStream, and flushOnNewline

controls whether Java flushes the output stream every time a newline (‘\\n’) charac-

is true, flushing automatically InfoSolutions
takes place. If false,
flushing is Quality...

The Data I/O Stream
The DataInputStream class enables you to read Java primitives from InputStream’s
instead of only bytes. You wrap an InputStream in a DataInputStream and then you

Origin Quality... from it. Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

For example,

int aByte = input.read();

float aFloat = input.readFloat();
Chakrika InfoSolutions
double aDouble Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika

This is handy if the data you need to read consists of Java primitives larger than
one byte each, like int, long, float, double etc.

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
The term Network Programming InfoSolutions
refers Chakrika
to writing programs that InfoSolutions

The java.net package is a collection of classes and interfaces that provide the low-level com-

The java.net package provides support for the two common network protocols:
•• TCP: TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol, which allows for reliable commu-

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
is referred to as TCP/IP.
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
•• UDP: UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol, a connection-less protocol that allows for

A Network Socket is like an electrical socket, where you plug in and connecting you elec-

connect between various devices (computers) and transfer data.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Let’s see about, TCP/IP packets and IP addresses. Internet Protocol (IP) is a low-level rout-

which does not guarantee the deliver said packets to the destination. Transmission Control

Proxy Servers

resource available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request accord-
ing to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If
the request is validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to
Chakrika InfoSolutions
the relevant server Chakrika
and requestingInfoSolutions
the service on behalf ofChakrika InfoSolutions
the client. A proxy server
may optionally
Origin alter the client’s requestOrigin

Quality... it of Quality...
Origin
may serve the request without contacting the specified server. In this case, it ‘caches’
responses from the remote server, and returns subsequent requests for the same con-
tent directly.

Java in Networking
Java supports TCP/IP by extending the already established stream I/O interface and
by adding the features required to build I/O objects across the network. Java supports
Chakrika InfoSolutions
both the TCP and UDP Chakrika InfoSolutions
protocol families. TCP is used forChakrika InfoSolutions
reliable stream-based I/O
across
Originthe network. UDP supports a simpler,
of Quality... Originhence faster, point-to-point datagram-
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
oriented model.

InetAddress Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality...
If you Origin
are accessing any computer in of Quality...
a network Origin of Quality...
or in the internet the Internet
address is very important. The InetAddress class is used to encapsulate both the
numerical IP address as well as the domain name for that address. You interact with
this class by using the name of an IP host, which is more convenient and understand-
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
able than its IP address. InfoSolutions
The InetAddress Chakrika
class hides the number inside. InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...

The InetAddress class has no visible constructors. To create an InetAddress object,

you have to use one of the factory methods. Factory methods are merely a convention
whereby static methods in a class return an instance of that class. The InetAddress
Chakrika InfoSolutions
class hasofthree
Chakrika InfoSolutions
methods getLocalHost( ),Origin
getByName(
Chakrika InfoSolutions
), and getAllByName( ) which
Origin Quality... of Quality... Origin of Quality...
are used to create instances of InetAddress. Their general form is,

throws UnknownHostException
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
static InetAddress getByName(String hostName)
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
throws UnknownHostException
static InetAddress[ ] getAllByName(String hostName)
throws UnknownHostException
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
The getLocalHost( ) method simply returns the InetAddress object that
represents the local host. The getByName( ) method returns an InetAddress
for a host name passed to it. The getAllByName( ) factory method returns an
Chakrika array of InetAddresses
InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
that represent all of the addressesChakrika InfoSolutions
that a particular name
resolves to it. If these
Origin of Quality... methods are unable to resolve the

Making TCP Connections
TCP/IP sockets are used to implement reliable, bidirectional, persistent, point-to-
point, and stream-based connections between hosts on the Internet. A socket can be

programs that may Chakrika InfoSolutions
reside either on the Origin

machine or on any other machine on the Internet.

These classes are related to making normal TCP connections:

Chakrika InfoSolutions

•• Socket

For simple connections between a client and a server, ServerSocket and Socket are
that you will probably need.
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions

ServerSocket represents the socket on a server that waits and listens for requests
for service from a client. Socket represents the endpoints for communication between
a server and a client. When a server gets a request for service, it creates a Socket

TCP/IP Server Sockets

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
The ServerSocket InfoSolutions
class provides the basic functionalityChakrika InfoSolutions
for the server. It is used to
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
create servers that listen for either local or remote client programs to connect to them
on published ports. The ServerSocket constructors are shown below,
ServerSocket (int port)
Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika
ServerSocket (int port, int backlog) InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
ServerSockets are quite different from normal Sockets. When you create a
ServerSocket, it will register itself with the system as having an interest in client con-
nections. The constructors for ServerSocket reflect the port number that you wish to
Chakrika InfoSolutions
accept connectionsChakrika InfoSolutions
on and optionally, how long you want the Chakrika
queue for saidInfoSolutions
port to be.
The queue
Origin length tells the system how many
of Quality... client
Origin connections it can leave pending
of Quality... Origin of Quality...
before it should simply refuse connections. The default is 50. The constructors might
throw an IOException under adverse conditions.

done via HTTP. The second component is the host name or IP address of the host to
use; this is delimited on the left by double slashes (//) and on the right by a slash (/) or
optionally a colon (:). The third component is the port number, which is an optional
Chakrika InfoSolutions
parameter, delimited Chakrika InfoSolutions
on the left from the host name by a colon Chakrika InfoSolutions
(:) and on the right by
slash (/).The

Java’s URL class

Chakrika InfoSolutions Chakrika InfoSolutions
has several constructors and Chakrika
each canInfoSolutions
throw a
MalformedURLException. One commonly used form specifies the URL with a string
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
that is identical to what you see in a browser:

Datagrams

This is not
Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality... Origin of Quality...
without its cost, however TCP includes many complicated algorithms for dealing with
congestion control on crowded networks, as well as pessimistic expectations about
packet loss. This leads to a somewhat inefficient way to transport data. Datagrams
provide an alternative.

Datagrams are bundles of information passed between machines. They are some-
what like a hard thrown from a well-trained but blindfolded catcher to the third base-
man. Once the datagram has been released to its intended target, there is no assurance
that it will arrive or even that someone will be there to catch it. Likewise, when the

datagram is received,Chakrika InfoSolutions
there is no assurance Chakrika
that it hasn’t been damaged inInfoSolutions

that whoever sent it is still there to receive a response.
