Study Notes

THE J BROTHERS (JVM JRE JDK)

JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is the runtime environment for Java
JRE (Java Runtime Environment) consists of JVM and libraries
JDK (Java Development Kit) includes JRE and development tools

Inheritance

Inheritance is a mechanism in which one class can inherit properties and behavior from another class
A derived class (subclass) inherits from a base class (superclass)
Multiple inheritance is achieved using interfaces

Types of Inheritance

Hybrid inheritance: a combination of two or more types of inheritance

Method Overriding

Method overriding occurs when a subclass provides a different implementation of a method already defined in its superclass
The subclass method with the same name, return type, and parameters as the superclass method is called instead of the superclass method

Pointers in C

Pointers hold memory addresses as their values
Pointers can be used to change the value stored at the memory address they point to
Common mistakes with pointers include dereferencing a null or uninitialized pointer

Relationship between Pointers and Arrays

Arrays and pointers are related, as the name of an array is a pointer to the first element of the array

Loops

Types of loops in programming include for, while, and do-while loops
Break statement: ends the loop immediately when encountered, often used with if-else statements
Continue statement: skips the current iteration of the loop and continues with the next iteration
Goto statement: transfers control of the program to a specified label

Classes and Objects

A class is a blueprint for creating objects
A class defines attributes (data) and methods (functions)
Each object created from a class has its own set of attributes and can access the methods of the class
The self parameter in a method definition refers to the instance of the class
Attributes prefixed with self are available to every method in the class and accessible through any instance created from the class
