Study Notes
Java Concepts
- Abstraction: showing only the relevant information needed for a task
- Encapsulation: hiding data within classes for security purposes, making it inaccessible to others
- Inheritance: attributes and characteristics of one class can be inherited by another class, reducing code writing time
- Polymorphism: using the same method for different tasks, allowing for flexibility in coding
Loops
- Definition: a loop is a control structure that allows a section of code to be repeated multiple times
- Real-life example: a washing machine's cycle, where the machine repeats a set of tasks (wash, rinse, spin) until the cycle is complete
Java Basics
- Java files are converted to bytecode format using a compiler and then executed by a Java interpreter
- The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) provides a runtime environment for Java code
- Methods are blocks of code that perform a specific task when called, similar to a remote control's buttons
- A class is a group of methods that organize code, similar to a supermarket's categorization of products
Java Features
- Simple syntax and easy to learn and understand
- Robust language that eliminates errors common in C and C++ languages
- Features garbage collectors and exception handling
- Platform independent, allowing Java code to run on any machine
- Secure language with no virus capabilities
- Multithreading allows for multitasking and portability
- Data type sizes are fixed and permanent
Java History
- Java was invented by James Gosling and Sun Microsystems (later acquired by Oracle) in 1991
- Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language used in distributed environments on the internet
- It is popularly used in console, Graphic User Interface (GUI), web, mobile applications, game development, and embedded systems
