Study Notes

Java Introduction

Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems, released in 1995, and currently owned by Oracle.
Over 3 billion devices run Java, supporting a variety of platforms like Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX.
Java is utilized for Desktop Apps, Mobile Apps, Web Apps, Games, and more.

Compiling and Running Java Programs

Java programs can be compiled using the javac compiler and run using the Java interpreter.
For example, a simple Java program named Test.java outputs "Hello Java".

Types of Java Applications

Four main types of Java applications include:
- Standalone Applications: Traditional software installed on individual machines (e.g., media players, antivirus). Created using AWT and Swing.
- Web Applications: Server-side applications that create dynamic web pages (e.g., using Servlet, JSP).
- Distributed Applications: Access files via methods from any machine on the internet (e.g., using RMI and EJB).
- Mobile Applications: Applications for mobile devices.

Multi-threaded Programming

Java supports multi-threading, allowing concurrent execution of tasks without occupying separate memory for each thread.
Multi-threaded programming is essential for multimedia and web applications.

Constants in Java

Constants are variables with unchangeable values once assigned, declared using the final keyword.
Example: final float pi = 3.14f; prevents modifications to pi.

Literals in Java

Literals represent fixed values in source code, categorized into:
- Integer Literals: Includes decimal, octal, hexadecimal, and binary.
- Character Literals: Characters or escape sequences in single quotes (e.g., 'a').
- Boolean Literals: Values representing true or false.
- String Literals: Sequences of characters in double quotes (e.g., "Hello").
- Floating Point Literals: Numeric types representing decimal values, with float ending in 'f' and double ending in 'd'.

Type Conversion Methods

Wrapper classes facilitate conversions between strings and numeric types:
- String to int: int num = Integer.parseInt("123");
- int to String: String str = Integer.toString(123);
Considerations include precision loss and range overflow during conversions.

Operators in Java

Operators are symbols used for operations, including:
- Unary, Arithmetic, Shift, Relational, Bitwise, Logical, Ternary, and Assignment Operators.
Java arithmetic operators perform basic mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).

Example of Java Arithmetic Operators

Sample code demonstrates arithmetic operations:
- Example output for addition: int a=10; int b=5; System.out.println(a+b); //Output: 15

Logical and Bitwise Operators

Logical AND (&&) checks the second condition only if the first is true; Bitwise AND (&) checks both conditions regardless of the first.

Backslash Literals

Special character literals for formatted output:
- \n - new line
- \t - horizontal tab
- \b - blank space
Useful for controlling output formatting in strings.

Example of Range Overflow

Handling conversion between int and byte can lead to overflow:
- int a = 130; byte b = (byte) a; // Output: -126 (overflow occurred)

Conclusion

Understanding Java's features, types of applications, and operators is crucial for effective programming.
Mastery of constants, literals, and type conversion enhances performance and minimizes errors in Java applications.
