24 Questions
What is the purpose of abstraction in managing complex systems?
To hide the details of the system and only show the essential components, making it easier to use.
What is encapsulation in programming?
Binding and wrapping up the methods and the data together to keep them safe from being misused or mishandled.
Explain the concept of inheritance in programming with an example.
Inheritance is the process by which an object acquires the properties of another object. For example, an Alsatian inherits the characteristics of a dog, which itself inherits the characteristics of a mammal.
What is polymorphism in programming?
It means that the same operation or function may behave differently on different classes.
Why is Java called an Internet language?
Because Java programs are translated to bytecode, which can run on a wide range of machines with only a Java interpreter (JVM) and libraries, making them portable and distributable over the internet.
What is the advantage of bytecode in Java programming?
Bytecode is not affected by the machine environment, making it easier to run Java programs on a wide range of machines.
What is the role of the JVM in Java programming?
The JVM (Java Virtual Machine) interprets the bytecode and acts as a platform for Java programs to run on a machine.
Why is Java considered a portable language?
Because Java programs can be easily transported to a variety of machines, thanks to the JVM and bytecode, making them widely distributable.
What is the role of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in executing a Java program?
JVM translates the program to specific machine language and runs it to give the result.
What is the intermediate level language that Java compiler translates the source code to?
Bytecode
What is the feature of Java that allows it to build distributed applications?
It can be used to build distributed applications, i.e., data or resources can be accessed from any networked computer easily.
How does Java perform type checking?
Java performs type checking on the user machine while the programs are transferred.
What is abstraction in object-oriented programming?
Abstraction is a concept of hiding unnecessary details and representing only the very essential features.
What is the characteristic of Java programs that makes them portable?
Java programs can be carried to different machines in the form of bytecode.
Why is Java considered a popular programming language?
Java is popular due to its features such as being purely object-oriented, portable, and able to handle unexpected faults and errors.
What is the execution stage of Java bytecode?
The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) translates the bytecode to machine language and runs it.
What is the main concept of object-oriented programming?
Simulating the real world in software
What are the two types of programming languages mentioned in the text?
Process Oriented and Object Oriented languages
What is the purpose of encapsulation in OOP?
To protect the object from misuse
What is the benefit of using inheritance in OOP?
It eliminates the need to define features again in the sub class
What is bytecode in Java?
An intermediate level language that is independent of the machine
What is the difference between POP and OOP?
POP focuses on procedures, while OOP focuses on objects and classes
What is the purpose of JVM in Java?
To run the bytecode on any machine
What is the characteristic of polymorphism in Java?
It allows for method overloading
Study Notes
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
- OOP simulates the real world in software, where real-world objects are represented as software objects.
- The main principles of OOP are:
- Encapsulation: Binding and wrapping up methods and data together to keep them safe from misuse.
- Abstraction: Hiding unnecessary details and representing only essential features.
- Inheritance: Acquiring properties from another object (e.g., Alsatian inherits characteristics from dog, dog from mammal, and mammal from animal).
- Polymorphism: Same operation functions differently on different classes (e.g., "move" behaves differently on Microsoft Windows and a chess game).
Java and JVM
- Java is called an Internet language because Java programs are translated to bytecode, which is not affected by the machine environment, making them portable.
- JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is an interpreter that translates bytecode to machine language and runs it.
- JVM, along with Java Application Interface libraries, acts as a platform for Java programs to run on a machine.
Characteristics of Object-Oriented Programming
- Abstraction: Hiding unnecessary details and representing only essential features.
- Encapsulation: Protects objects from misuse by binding and wrapping up methods and data together.
- Inheritance: Acquiring properties from another object.
- Polymorphism: Same operation functions differently on different classes.

- Portable (can be carried to different machines in the form of bytecode)
- Handles unexpected faults and errors
- Performs type checking on the user machine
- Allows for multitasking
