    Study Notes

    Introduction to Programming Paradigms

    • Computers excel in storage, quick recall, and high-speed calculations, but require specific instructions to function.
    • Programming provides these instructions, with various approaches known as programming paradigms.

    Programming Paradigms

    • A programming paradigm is a method used to solve problems with programming languages.

    • Procedural Programming:

      • Also called imperative programming, it uses step-by-step instructions.
      • Relies on procedures or subroutines for computations.
      • Examples include C, FORTRAN, and COBOL.

    • Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):

      • Models problems as objects and is an extension of procedural programming.
      • Focuses on classes as blueprints for creating objects, which encapsulate attributes and behaviors.
      • First developed in the 1960s with Simula.
      • Other examples: Java, C++, Python, Ruby.

    Core Concepts of Object-Oriented Programming

    • Objects: Instances that encapsulate attributes (state) and methods (behavior).

    • Classes: Blueprints for creating objects, defining common properties among them.

    • Inheritance:

      • Allows a subclass to inherit properties and methods from a parent class, promoting code reusability.

    • Polymorphism:

      • Enables entities to take on multiple forms or implement one interface in different ways.

    • Encapsulation:

      • Bundling data and methods in a class while restricting external access, akin to a medical capsule.

    • Abstraction:

      • Hides unnecessary details from users, revealing only essential features.

    History of Java

    • Originated from the Green Project in 1991, aimed at developing software for consumer electronics, led by James Gosling.
    • Initially called Oak, named after an oak tree outside Gosling's office; later renamed Java after a local coffee shop.
    • Officially launched in 1995 with the promise of "Write Once, Run Anywhere" (WORA).
    • Java became one of the most widely used programming languages by 2010.

    Features of Java

    • Simple: Excludes complexities like pointers and operator overloading.
    • Portable: Applications run on any platform without modification.
    • Object-Oriented: Structures everything as objects.
    • Secure: Compiles into bytecode, executed in a secure environment to prevent breaches.
    • Dynamic: Supports dynamic memory allocation, optimizing performance.
    • Distributed: Facilitates remote method invocation for distributed applications.
    • Robust: Strong memory management reduces error likelihood.
    • High Performance: Uses bytecode and Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation for speed.
    • Interpreted: Bytecode translated by the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
    • Multithreaded: Allows concurrent operations in programs.

    Structure of a Java Program

    • Class Definition:

      • A class serves as a container for attributes and methods.
      • Contains access modifiers (e.g., public) to manage visibility.

    • Method Definition:

      • Includes method headers and bodies; specifies if it returns a value (e.g., void).

    • Comments:

      • Single-line: // comment
      • Multi-line: /* comment */

    Programming Errors in Java

    • Syntax Errors: Mistakes in the structure (e.g., missing semicolons).
    • Semantic Errors: Logic issues leading to unrecognizable code.
    • Runtime Errors: Errors during execution, such as division by zero.

    Java Data Types

    • Data Types: Classifications for variable values.

    • Primitive Data Types: Predefined basic types, include:

      • byte (1 byte), short (2 bytes), int (4 bytes), long (8 bytes), float (4 bytes), double (8 bytes), char (2 bytes), boolean (1 bit).

    • Class Data Types: User-defined or provided by Java (e.g., String).

    Variables and Constants in Java

    • Variable: A memory storage location for a value, which can change.
    • Declaration: Syntax includes data type followed by variable name (e.g., int number1;).
    • Constant: A fixed value that cannot change, declared using the final keyword, typically formatted in uppercase.

    Operators in Java

    • Operators: Symbols that perform operations, conditions, or create relational expressions between variables.
