 1. Introduction to Java:

   - Java is a popular, object-oriented, high-level programming language developed by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle) in the mid-1990s.

   - Known for its “write once, run anywhere” (WORA) philosophy, enabling platform independence through the use of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).


1.1. Java Virtual Machine:

   - JVM is a crucial component of the Java platform that enables Java bytecode to be executed on various hardware and operating systems.

   - It acts as an interpreter between the platform-independent Java bytecode and the underlying system.

   - Example: When you run a Java program, the JVM translates the bytecode into machine code specific to your operating system and executes it.


1.2. Java Development Kit (JDK):

   - The JDK is a software development kit that includes all the tools required to develop, compile, and debug Java applications.

   - It contains the Java compiler (javac), JVM, standard libraries, and other development utilities.

   - Example: Developers use the JDK to write Java code and create executable Java applications.


1.3. Java Runtime Environment (JRE):

   - The JRE is a subset of the JDK and includes only the JVM and essential class libraries needed to run Java applications.

   - It is intended for end-users who only need to run Java applications, not develop them.

   - Example: When you install a Java application on your computer, you also need to have the JRE to execute the application.


1.4. Integrated Development Environment (IDE):

   - An IDE is a software application that provides comprehensive tools and features to facilitate the development of software.

   - IDEs enhance productivity by offering code editing, debugging, testing, and project management capabilities in one integrated environment.

   - Example: Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, and NetBeans are popular Java IDEs that provide code auto-completion, refactoring, and debugging features to help developers write Java code efficiently.


Example Java Code Snippet (Hello World):

```java

Public class HelloWorld {

    Public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println(“Hello, World!”);

    }

}

Short Q&A about constructors

  Q1: What is a constructor in Java, and when is it called? A1: A constructor in Java is a special method used to initialize objects. It is called when an instance of a class is created, allocating memory for the object in RAM. Q2: What happens if a class in Java does not have any constructor defined? A2: If a class in Java doesn't have any constructor defined, the Java compiler provides a default constructor by default. Q3: What are the two types of constructors in Java? A3: There are two types of constructors in Java:  1. No-arg constructor (Default constructor) 2. Parameterized constructor Q4: What are the rules for creating a Java constructor? A4: The rules for creating a Java constructor are as follows: - Constructor name must be the same as its class name. - A constructor must have no explicit return type. - A Java constructor cannot be abstract, static, final, or synchronized. Q5: What are the different access modifiers that can be used while declaring a constructor in ...

Chapter No 2 Java DAE CIT

  . Variable and Operators 1.1. Variable: Define: A variable is a named storage location in a program that holds data, and its value can be changed during the execution of the program. Syntax: datatype variableName; Explanation: Variables are used to store and manipulate data in a program. They have a data type that defines the kind of data they can hold, such as int, float, char, etc. Code int age; // Declaration of an integer variable age = 25; // Initialization of the variable with a value 1.2. Create Instance of a Variable: Define: Creating an instance of a variable involves declaring and optionally initializing a variable in a program. Syntax: datatype variableName = value; Explanation: This creates a variable and assigns an initial value to it at the time of declaration. score = 95.5  # Declaration and initialization of a floating-point variable 1.3. Use Preemptive Data Types: Define: Preemptive data types are data types that are predefined and provided by...

Chapter No 6 Interface Java

  Chapter 6                      Interfaces   6.1 Introduction  6.2. Defining and Implementing Interfaces   6.3. Advantages of using Interface    6.1 Introduction   An interface in Java is a collection of abstract methods. It provides a way to achieve abstraction and multiple inheritance in Java. An interface is a blueprint for a class and allows the definition of methods without specifying the implementation. Classes implementing an interface must provide concrete implementations for all its methods.   Syntax   interface MyInterface{ {      // Declare methods (implicitly public and abstract)      void method1();      void method2(); }   Explanation   An interface is declared using the interface keyword.  Methods declared in the interface ar...
