Study Notes
Java Basics
- The command
java
is used to execute a Java application. - Files with the
.class
extension are generated by the Java compiler, indicating they contain compiled Java bytecode.
Java Class Libraries
- Java class libraries, also known as Java APIs, are not portable; this statement is false.
- They provide pre-designed, tested classes that reduce development effort.
Methods in Java
- A method is essential for performing tasks in a program, containing statements that execute specific functions.
- Methods abstract their inner workings from users, similar to how a car's accelerator hides its mechanisms.
Compiled vs. Interpreted Programs
- Compilers convert high-level programs into machine language, whereas interpreted programs do not necessarily run faster than compiled programs.
Executing Java Classes
- The command
java Welcome
executes the Java class fileWelcome.class
. - Output example:
System.out.print("Hello "); System.out.println("World");
prints "Hello World".
Format Specifiers
- The format specifier
%d
is a placeholder for integer values in Java.
Error Handling
- Entering an invalid integer value using
input.nextInt()
whilenumber1
is defined as an int results in a runtime logic error.
Class File Naming
- The public class name must match the filename; for a class
public class Addition
, the filename should beAddition.java
.
Object and Variable Management
- Each created class introduces a new type that can be used for variable declaration and object creation.
- Most methods, except for
main
, require explicit calls to operate.
Data Encapsulation
- Declaring instance variables as
private
implements data hiding, protecting the variable's state from outside access.
Memory Management
- Reference-type variables in Java store the memory address of an object rather than the actual object itself.
- A constructor call is mandatory for creating every object in Java.
Control Structures
- Control variables in counter-controlled loops should be declared as
int
to prevent errors and ensure proper iteration management.
