Study Notes

Unit-1

Introduction: Covers object-oriented programming (OOP), the history and evolution of Java, data types, variables, type conversion, casting, arrays, operators, control statements, method overloading, constructor overloading, parameter passing, recursion, and string handling methods.
History of Java: Java was developed by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) in 1991, originally called oak. It was renamed to Java in 1995 and is now used in many devices and applications.
Principles of Java: Java's creation had five core goals: simplicity, object-orientation, familiarity, robustness and security, architecture-neutrality and portability, high performance, and interpretation, threading, and dynamism.
Java Editions:
Java Standard Edition (J2SE / JSE): Used for client-side applications and applets running in web browsers.
Java Enterprise Edition (J2EE / JEE): Used for building enterprise-oriented server applications, including servlets.
Java Micro Edition (J2ME / JME): Primarily used for developing mobile applications.
Java FX (JavaFX): Used for developing rich internet applications with a light-weight UI API

Unit-2

Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs) Concepts:
Class: A blueprint from which objects are created, containing data fields (attributes or properties) and methods (functions).
Object: An instance of a class, with its own data and behavior.
Inheritance: When one class (subclass) inherits properties and methods from another class (superclass) to avoid code repetition.
Polymorphism: The ability of an object to take on many forms, achieved through inheritance and method overriding.
Abstraction: Hiding complex implementation details and showing only essential information to the user.
Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on that data within a class to protect the data from direct access.
Example (OOP principle): A dog is an objective because it has states(like color, name, breed...) and behaviors(wagging, barking, eating...).
Inheritance: One class acquires the attributes and behaviors of another class, in a parent-child relationship(subclass-superclass).
Polymorphism: One interface/method can have multiple implementations depending on the class.
Abstraction: Simplifying complex processes by showcasing only the core functionality to the user, hiding underlying details; achieved using classes and methods.
Encapsulation: Consolidating data and its handling mechanisms within a class.

Unit-3

Exception Handling Fundamentals: Exceptions are unexpected events during runtime, causing abnormal termination if not properly handled.
Exception types:
Checked Exceptions: These need to be handled or declared in the method signature using the 'throws' keyword.
Unchecked Exceptions: Typically due to programming errors and don't need to be explicitly handled (runtime errors).
Errors: Irrecoverable conditions; programmers usually can't handle them.
Advantages of exception handling: Keeps the application running in an orderly fashion even when an error occurs. Prevents crashing by gracefully dealing with errors.Improves code readability and maintainability by segregating error handling logic.
try-catch-finally block: The basic structure used for handling exceptions in Java, allowing the program to continue even when an exception occurs.
Java Exception Keywords: try, catch, finally, throw, throws.
try: The block containing the code at risk of throwing an exception.
catch: The block to handle a specific exception type if it occurs within the try block.
finally: The block used to execute code that must always be run, regardless of whether an exception occurred or not.
throw: Used to explicitly generate/throw a custom exception.
throws: Declares the exception types that a method may throw so that the caller knows how to handle it (method signature).
Nested try-catch blocks: Try-catch blocks placed sequentially inside one another for more complex exception handling scenarios.

Unit-4

Introduction to Streams: A stream is a sequence of data, used for translating data from one place to another, such as from keyboard to file.
Java Standard Streams: This are predefined streams like
System.in: input from keyboard
System.out: output to console
System.err: errors displayed to console
Byte Streams: Used for handling 8-bit bytes, including
InputStream: Used for reading data from different kinds of sources (file, string, memory).
OutputStream: Used for writing data into different destinations.
Character Streams: Used for handling 16-bit Unicode characters.
Reader(Input): Used for reading text from different sources.
Writer(Output): Used for writing text to different destinations.
File Class: This class allows interaction with files and directories(folders), operations like: checking existence, creating, deleting, etc.
FileWriter: Used for outputting character data to a file.
FileReader: Used for reading character data from a file.
RandomAccessFile: Used to access data in a file randomly, permitting both read and write operations.

Unit-5

Introduction to Enums: Enumerations in Java represent a collection of named constants (e.g., days of the week).
Introduction to Java Collections framework: Provides interfaces (such as List, Set, Map) and classes (such as ArrayList, HashSet, HashMap) to store and manage collections of objects.

Unit-6

Generics: Enable writing type-safe code to handle different data types without casting, increasing code robustness.
StringBuilder/StringBuffer: Classes providing mutable strings that can efficiently handle operations requiring text modification. They are not as fast or efficient as String objects but are better suited for modification.
Introduction to Java GUI framework(AWT and Swing): Both AWT and Swing provide ways for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs), but Swing is the preferred modern approach due to its platform independence for writing GUI elements.

Unit-7

Introduction to Java Database Connectivity (JDBC): JDBC is a standard API for connecting Java programs to databases, especially relation databases.
JDBC Drivers: Help in communicating with the database management systems (DBMS). They are important for interfacing.
Understanding how the different types of drivers, work with Java applications and respective Databases.
Introduction to Multithreading: Programming concepts about multitasking, creating, managing, and synchronizing threads.
