Java Notes - Full Details
Introduction to Java: Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language
designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is widely used for building
platform-independent applications. Features of Java: 1. Simple and Easy to Learn 2.
Object-Oriented 3. Platform-Independent (Write Once, Run Anywhere) 4. Robust and Secure 5.
Multithreaded 6. High Performance with JIT Compiler 7. Distributed and Dynamic Java
Architecture: - Java Source Code (.java files) is compiled by the Java Compiler into Bytecode
(.class files). - The Bytecode runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). - JVM converts bytecode into
machine code for the host system. Java Basic Syntax: class HelloWorld { public static void
main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello, World!"); } } OOP Concepts in Java: 1. Class and
Object 2. Inheritance 3. Polymorphism 4. Encapsulation 5. Abstraction Data Types in Java: -
Primitive Data Types: byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, boolean - Non-Primitive Data Types:
String, Arrays, Classes Control Statements: - Decision Making: if, if-else, switch - Looping: for,
while, do-while - Jumping: break, continue, return Exception Handling: - try, catch, finally, throw,
throws Multithreading: - Thread class and Runnable interface - Synchronization Collections
Framework: - List, Set, Map interfaces - ArrayList, LinkedList, HashSet, HashMap Java
Input/Output (I/O): - File Handling using FileReader, FileWriter, BufferedReader, BufferedWriter
Java Packages and Interfaces: - Creating Packages - Access Modifiers - Defining and
Implementing Interfaces Java Applets & GUI: - Swing and AWT basics for GUI development Java
Database Connectivity (JDBC): - Steps to connect Java application with database: 1. Load Driver
class 2. Create Connection 3. Create Statement 4. Execute Query 5. Close Connection Important
Java Keywords: abstract, final, static, super, this, synchronized, transient, volatile, etc.
Conclusion: Java remains one of the most popular programming languages because of its
platform independence, robustness, and large ecosystem of libraries and frameworks.
