Java Programming Fundamentals
An Introduction to Java Basics
Introduction to Java
• - High-level, object-oriented language
• - Platform independent (JVM)
• - Secure and robust
• - Multi-threaded and efficient
• - Used for web, desktop, and mobile
applications
Java Basic Syntax
• - Every Java program has a class
• - The `main` method is the entry point
• - Statements end with a semicolon `;`
• - Case-sensitive language
• - Uses curly braces `{}` for blocks of code
Data Types and Variables
• - Primitive Types: int, float, char, boolean, etc.
• - Non-primitive Types: Strings, Arrays, Objects
• - Variable Declaration: `int num = 10;`
• - Constants: `final int MAX = 100;`
Control Statements
• - Conditional: if, if-else, switch
• - Loops: for, while, do-while
• - Jump Statements: break, continue, return
OOP Concepts in Java
• - Encapsulation: Data hiding using private
fields
• - Inheritance: One class acquires properties of
another
• - Polymorphism: Method overloading &
overriding
• - Abstraction: Hiding implementation details
Exception Handling in Java
• - Used to handle runtime errors
• - Try-Catch Blocks
• - Finally Block
• - Throw and Throws keywords
Java Collections Framework
• - List: ArrayList, LinkedList
• - Set: HashSet, TreeSet
• - Map: HashMap, TreeMap
• - Used for managing dynamic data structures
File Handling in Java
• - File Reading and Writing
• - Using FileReader, FileWriter
• - Handling Exceptions with IO Operations
Multithreading in Java
• - Running multiple tasks simultaneously
• - Creating Threads using `Thread` class
• - Synchronization for thread safety
Conclusion
• - Java is versatile and widely used
• - Mastering fundamentals is key to advanced
concepts
• - Practice is essential for becoming proficient
