Programming in JAVA
Introduction
• Welcome to the course Object Oriented
Programming in JAVA. This course will cover a
core set of computer science concepts needed
to create a modern software application using
Java.
UNIT-II Inheritance
• Widespread acceptance.
How is Java different from C…
• C Language:
– Major difference is that C is a structure oriented language and
Java is an object oriented language and has mechanism to
define classes and objects.
– Java does not support an explicit pointer type
– Java does not have preprocessor, so we cant use #define,
#include and #ifdef statements.
– Java does not include structures, unions and enum data types.
– Java does not include keywords like goto, sizeof and typedef.
– Java adds labeled break and continue statements.
– Java adds many features required for object
oriented programming.
How is Java different from C++…
• C++ language
Features removed in java:
Java doesn’t support pointers to avoid unauthorized access
of memory locations.
Java does not include structures, unions and enum data
types.
Java does not support operator over loading.
Preprocessor plays less important role in C++
and so eliminated entirely in java.
Java does not perform automatic type
conversions that
result in loss of precision.
Cont…
Java does not support global variables. Every
method and variable is declared within a class and
forms part of that class.
Java does not allow default arguments.
Java does not support inheritance of multiple super
classes by a sub class (i.e., multiple inheritance). This is
accomplished by using ‘interface’ concept.
It is not possible to declare unsigned integers in java.
In java objects are passed by reference only. In C++
objects may be passed by value or reference.
Cont …
New features added in Java:
Multithreading, that allows two or more pieces of the
same program to execute concurrently.
C++ has a set of library functions that use a common
header file. But java replaces it with its own set of API
classes.
It adds packages and interfaces.
Java supports automatic garbage collection.
break and continue statements have been enhanced in
java to accept labels as targets.
The use of unicode characters ensures portability.
Cont …
Features that differ:
Though C++ and java supports Boolean data type, C++ takes
any nonzero value as true and zero as false. True and false in
java are predefined literals that are values for a boolean
expression.
Java has replaced the destructor function with a finalize()
function.
C++ supports exception handling that is similar to java's.
However, in C++ there is no requirement that a thrown
exception be caught.
Characteristics of Java
• Java is simple • Java is architecture-neutral
• Java is object-oriented • Java is portable
• Java is distributed • Java’s performance
• Java is interpreted • Java is multithreaded
• Java is robust • Java is dynamic
• Java is secure
Java Environment
• Java includes many development tools, classes and
methods
– Development tools are part of Java Development Kit
(JDK) and
– The classes and methods are part of Java Standard Library (JSL),
also known as Application Programming Interface (API).
• JDK constitutes of tools like java compiler,
java interpreter and many.
• API includes hundreds of classes and methods grouped
into several packages according to their functionality.
Java is architecture-neutral
