Study Notes

Java Versions

Java 5 introduced as Tiger with JSR 176.
Java SE 6, known as Mustang, released in late 2006 with JSR 270.
Java SE 7, codenamed Dolphin, slated for release in 2008.
Java 8 introduced Lambda Expressions, which are anonymous functions.
Current stable version is Java 14.

Java Platform Editions

Java SE (Standard Edition): Base platform for Java development.
Java EE (Enterprise Edition): For distributed multi-tier applications in enterprise environments.
Java ME (Micro Edition): Focused on resource-constrained devices like mobile phones and PDAs.
Java Card: Used for running small Java-based applications on smart cards and similar devices.

Types of Java Programs

Stand-alone applications: Independent Java programs.
Applets: Small programs embedded in web pages to run in browsers.
Servlets: Programs providing dynamic content for web servers.
Portlets: Reusable components in web portals.
MIDlets: Designed for mobile information devices such as cell phones and PDAs.

Outputting Values in Java

Use System.out.print and System.out.println to display variable values.
Example program shows usage of these functions to print integer and character values.

Increment and Decrement Operators

Allows increasing or decreasing a variable's value by 1.
Examples include:
- count++: increments count after its value is used.
- ++count: increments count before its value is used.
- Similarly for decrement operators (--).

Relational Operators

Used to compare two values; results in true or false.
Operators include:
- >: greater than.
- >=: greater than or equal to.
- <: less than.
- <=: less than or equal to.

Coding Guidelines

Keep increment and decrement expressions clear and straightforward.
Always properly handle user inputs to avoid errors during program execution.
