    Study Notes

    Introduction to Java

    • Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language aimed at portability, simplicity, and security.
    • Created by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems in the mid-1990s; now owned by Oracle Corporation.
    • Java’s main feature is platform independence, enabling code to run on any system with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
    • Its object-oriented programming (OOP) model facilitates the creation of reusable code, improving maintenance.
    • Strong type checking in Java minimizes common programming errors.
    • Java is widely used for enterprise applications, web applications, mobile apps, and games.
    • To start programming in Java, download the Java Development Kit (JDK) from Oracle’s website and use an IDE like Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, or NetBeans.

    Features of Java

    • Platform Independence: Java is compiled into bytecode that is executable on any system with a JVM, supporting distributed applications.
    • Compiled and Interpreted: Java source code is compiled into binary bytecode, which is then interpreted by the JVM.

    Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and Bytecode

    • The JVM executes Java bytecode, translating it into machine language for the processor.
    • Java bytecode is optimized for performance and is platform-independent.
    • It includes optimizations like constant folding, dead code elimination, and method in-lining.
    • JVM features include memory management, garbage collection, and security, along with a just-in-time (JIT) compiler for dynamic compilation of frequently used bytecode.

    Types of Java Programs

    • OOP promotes modular programming, organizing code into objects and classes, enhancing reuse and maintenance.
    • OOP offers better scalability compared to procedural-oriented programming (POP).

    Basic Java Program Structure

    • Example program: 
      public class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}
    • Components of the program:
      • public: Access modifier making the class/method accessible.
      • class: Keyword to define a class.
      • HelloWorld: Class name.
      • main: The entry point of the program, executed on runtime.
      • (String[] args): Argument list for command-line input.
      • System.out.println: Method to print output to the console.

    Basic Data Types in Java

    • Primitive types include:
      • byte: 8-bit signed integer (-128 to 127).
      • short: 16-bit signed integer (-32,768 to 32,767).
      • int: 32-bit signed integer (-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647).
      • long: 64-bit signed integer (-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807).
      • float: 32-bit floating-point number with ~7 decimal digits precision.
      • double: 64-bit floating-point number with ~15 decimal digits precision.
      • boolean: Represents true or false values.
      • char: Represents a single character in Unicode.

    Reference Data Types

    • Classes: Blueprints for creating objects, containing fields and methods.
      • Example class: 
        public class Person {
    private String name;
    private int age;

    public Person(String name, int age) {
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public int getAge() {
        return age;
    }
}
    • Interfaces: Define a contract of behaviors for classes to implement.
      • Example interface: 
        public interface Drawable {
    public void draw();
}
    • Arrays: Collections of elements of the same data type, stored in contiguous memory.
      • Example of an integer array: 
        int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

    Operators in Java

    • Operators are symbols that perform operations on operands, categorized as:
      • Arithmetic operators: For operations on numerical values.
