INTRODUCTION TO
JAVA PROGRAMMING

Java has become an important programming language in today’s world with

its universal presence in our day-to-day life. Released by Sun Microsystems in
1995, this class-based object-oriented program is often related to the likes of
C & C++ due to its similarity in coding. Often termed as the programming
language where you can ‘Write Once, Run Anywhere’. This principle of Java
makes it an eye-catching language!

1.1 What is Java Programming?

Java is an object-oriented language with a C/C++-like syntax that is familiar to many programmers.
It is dynamically linked, allowing new code to be downloaded and run, but not dynamically typed.

01 Concurrent 02 OOPs 03 WORA

Java is concurrent where you Java is class-based and an Java is a platform

can execute many statements object-oriented independent programming
instead of sequentially programming language. language that follows the
executing it. logic of “Write Once, Run
Anywhere”.

These are the reasons which attract the programmers the most. Java programs can be executed
across any machine having JRE. JRE is compatible with all devices, say, mobile phones, PCs as well
as any OS like Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, etc. We will learn more about JRE, later in this book.

JAVA FUNDAMENTALS
3.1 JVM, JRE and JDK
Java applications are called WORA (Write once
Run Anywhere) because of their ability to run a
code on any platform. This is done only because of
JVM (Java Virtual Machine). The JVM is a Java
platform component that provides an
environment for executing Java programs. JVM
interprets the bytecode into machine code which
is executed in the machine in which the Java
program runs.
The JRE software builds a runtime environment The Java Development Kit (JDK) is a software
in which Java programs can be executed. The JRE development environment used to develop
is the on-disk system that takes your Java code, Java applications and applets. It contains JRE
combines it with the needed libraries, and starts and several development tools, an
the JVM to execute it. The JRE contains libraries interpreter/loader (java), a compiler (javac),
and software needed by your Java programs to an archiver (jar), a documentation generator
run. JRE is a part of JDK but can be downloaded (javadoc) accompanied with another tool.
separately.

3.2 Data Types in Java

A data type is an attribute of a variable that tells the compiler or interpreter how the programmer
intends to use the variable. It defines the operations that can be done on the data and what type of
values can be stored. According to the properties they possess, they are divided into two groups:

01 Primitive Data Types 02 Non-Primitive Data Types

Boolean Data Type Int Data Type Strings Interface

Byte Data Type Long Data Type Arrays Enumerations
Char Data Type Float Data Type Classes
Short Data Type Double Data Type

3.3 Variables and Keywords

Variable in Java is the basic unit of storage. It Keywords are predefined which have a unique
acts as a container and is used to hold data values. meaning and functionality in the Java
The values held by the variable can be changed programming language. These keywords are also
during the execution of the program. Every known as reserved keywords which means they
variable is assigned a data type. Variable is a name cannot be used as a variable name, class, method,
given to a memory location. A variable is declared or any other identifier. There are 57 reserved
by specifying the following parameters: keywords in Java, some which are listed below:
abstract this enum
1. Datatype: Type of data stored in the variable
continue break return
2. Variable name: A unique name of the variable
for implements instanceof
3. Value: The initial value stored in the variable
new throw short
switch import interface
int age = 50 ;
package public static
float weight = 50.60;
private throws void

3.4 Operators in Java

Operators in Java are Type Operators
used for operations
between two values or Arithmetic +, -, *, /, %, **, //
variables. The output
varies according to the Assignment =, +=, -=, *=, %=, **=, //=, |=, ^=, &=
type of operator used in Relational ==, !=, >, <, <=,>=
the operation. We can
call operators as special Logical &&, ||, !
symbols or constructs to
manipulate the values of Unary ++, --, !
the operands. Consider Bitwise &, |, ^, ~
the expression 2 + 3 = 5,
here 2 and 3 are Ternary (Condition) ? (Statement1) : (Statement2);
operands and + is called
operator. Shift <<,>>,>>>

3.5 Methods in Java

A method is basically a set of code which is referred to by name and can be called or invoked at any
point in a program, just by utilizing the method’s name. Each method is given its own name. When
that name is in a program, the execution branches to the body of that method.

How to create a method in Java? Every Java program must have the 'main' method.
A method in Java must be declared within a It is the entry point for the Java Compiler, from
specific class. It is defined with the name of the where it starts the execution and follows the
method, followed by parentheses “()”. Java order specified in the rest of the program.
provides some pre-defined methods, such as
public static void main (String args[])
System.out.println(), etc.
public static dataType methodName
public
(dataType x, dataType y) static
{ void
// body main
}
String args[]

3.6 Access Modifiers in Java

Access modifiers in Java are used to specify the access levels for classes, variable methods, and
constructors. It helps in updating the value of a variable. They are also known as access/visibility
modifiers. There are four access modifiers keywords in Java and they are:

DEFAULT ACCESS MODIFIER

1
When no access modifier is specified for a particular class, method or a data member, it is said to be
having the default access modifier. The data members, class or methods which are not declared utilizing
any entrance modifiers, will have default modifier which is accessible only inside a similar bundle. It
means you do not explicitly declare an access modifier for a class, field, method, etc.

PRIVATE ACCESS MODIFIER

2 The methods or data members that are declared as private are only accessible within the class in which
they are declared. Top-level classes or interfaces cannot be declared as private in light of the fact that
'private' signifies “just visible inside the enclosing class“. If a class has a private constructor then you
cannot create the object of that class from outside the class.

PUBLIC ACCESS MODIFIER

3 The public access modifier is specified using the keyword public. It has a broadest scope among all other
access modifiers. Classes, methods or data members which are declared as public are accessible
anywhere throughout the program. There is no restriction on the scope of public data members.

PROTECTED ACCESS MODIFIER

4 The protected access modifier is specified using the keyword protected. The methods or data members
declared as protected are accessible within the same package or subclasses in a different package.
Protected members can be accessed only in the child or derived classes.

JAVA FLOW CONTROL

A control statement in Java determines whether the other statements will be executed or not.

4.1 Decision Making Statements

Statements that determine which statement to execute and when are known as decision-making
statements. The flow of the execution of the program is controlled by the control flow statement.
There are four decision-making statements available in Java.

1 if Statement 2 if..else Statement

The 'if' statement determines whether a In this statement, in case the condition
code should be executed based on the specified is true, then 'if' block is executed.
specified condition. Otherwise, the 'else' block is executed.

if (condition) { if (condition) {
Statement 1; //executed if condition is Statement 1; //executed if condition
true is correct
} Statement 2; //executed irrespective } else Statement 2; /*executed if
of the condition condition is false*/

3 Nested if Statement 4 switch-case Statement

An 'if' present inside another 'if' block is A 'switch' statement in Java is used to
known as a nested 'if' block. It is similar to an execute a single statement from multiple
if..else statement, except they are defined conditions. The switch statement can be
inside another if..else statement. used with short, byte, int, long, enum types.

if (condition1) { switch(expression) {
Statement 1; case x:
if (condition2) { // code block
Statement 2; /*executed 'if' 2nd break;
case y:
condition is correct*/
// code block
} else {
break;
Statement 3; /*executed if second
default:
condition is false*/ // code block
}} }

4.2 Iterative Statements

Statements that execute a block of code in a loop until a specified condition is met are known as
Iterative statements. Java provides the user with three types of loops:

1 while Loop 2 do-while Loop

A while loop in Java is used to iterate over a It is similar to a while loop, but in a while
block of code or statements as long as the loop, the condition is evaluated before the
test expression is true. You can use this, in execution of the loop’s body but in a do-
case number of iterations are not specified. while loop, the condition is evaluated after
the execution of the loop’s body.
while (condition) {
/*code block to be executed*/ do { /*code block to be executed*/
} } while (condition)

3 for Loop Example

The for loop in Java is used to iterate and
evaluate a code multiple times. When the public class Edureka {
number of iterations is known by the user, it is public static void
recommended to use the for loop. pyramidPattern(int n) {
for-each
for (int i=0; Loop{
i<n; i++)
for (initialization; condition; increment/decrement)
for (int j=n-i; j>1; j--)
{
statement; { System.out.print(" "); }
} for (int j=0; j<=i; j++ )
{ System.out.print("* "); }
System.out.println();
4 for-each Loop }
}
The traversal of elements in an array can be
done by the for-each loop. The elements
public static void main(String
present in the array are returned one by one.

{ int n = 5;
for (type var : array)
{ pyramidPattern(n);
statements using var; }
}

OBJECT-ORIENTED
PROGRAMMING IN JAVA
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) refers to a type of programming in which programmers define the
data type of a data structure and the type of operations that can be applied to the data structure.  An
object-based application in Java is based on declaring classes, creating objects from them and interacting
between these objects. Let's take a look at the building blocks of object-oriented programming:

5.1 Classes & Objects

Class in Java is a blueprint from which an object is created. It is a logical entity that helps in defining the
behavior and properties of an object. A class can only be accessed from outside via its instance.

01 Built-in Classes 02 User Defined Classes

Built-in classes in Java are the classes that comes As the name suggests, a custom or user-defined
bundled within predefined packages in Java. E.g: class is a class that is created by a user. It will
Java.Lang.String Java.Lang.Exception contain the class members as defined by the
Java.Lang.System Java.Lang.Object user.

Class Elements Class Syntax

A Java class generally consists of the following:
1. Fields <access specifier> class
2. Methods <classname>{
3. Constructors //classbody
4. Blocks }
5. Nested Classes

Object in Java is a real-world entity that has its own property and behavior. These are considered to be
the fundamental concepts of Java and uses classes as its blueprint. A Java program can have as many
objects as required. An object in Java typically consists of the following: 
1. State: This is represented by the attributes and properties of an object.
2. Behavior: This is defined by the methods of an object.
3. Identity: This provides a unique name to an object and enables the communication between them.

5.2 Abstraction in Java

Abstraction refers to the quality of dealing with
public interface EduInterface{
ideas rather than events. It basically deals with public void show();
hiding the details and showing the essential public void run();
things to the user. In Java, you can achieve }
abstraction in two ways:
public class eduDemo
1. Abstract Class: Abstract class contains the
implements EduInterface{
‘abstract’ keyword and cannot be instantiated. public void show(){
It  can contain abstract as well as concrete //implementation
methods. }
2. Interface: An interface in Java is a collection of public void run(){
//implementation
abstract methods and static constants. In an
}
interface, each method is public and abstract }
but it does not contain any constructor.

5.3 Encapsulation in Java

Encapsulation refers to the process of wrapping

class Student {
up of data under a single unit. It is the mechanism private String name;
that binds code and the data it manipulates. public String getName() {
Another way to think about encapsulation is, it is return name;
}
a protective shield that prevents the data from public void setName(String name)
being accessed by the code outside this shield. In {
this, the variables or data of a class is hidden this.name = name;
}
from any other class and can be accessed only
}
through any member function of own class in public class Main {
which they are declared. public static void main(String[]
Encapsulation in Java can be achieved by:  args) {
Student s=new Student();
1. Declaring the variables of a class as private. s.setName("Harry Potter");
2. Providing public setter and getter methods to System.out.println(s.getName());
modify and view the values of the variables. }
}

5.4 Inheritance in Java

class Animal {
Inheritance is an integral part of Java OOPs void eat() {
System.out.println(“eating…”); }
which lets the properties of one class to be
}
inherited by the other. It basically, helps in class Dog extends Animal {
reusing the code and establish a relationship void bark() {
System.out.println(“barking…”); }
between different classes. }
class Cat extends Animal {
void meow() {
System.out.println(“meowing…”); }
TYPES OF INHERITANCE }
Single Inheritance class TestInheritance3 {
public static void main(String
Multilevel Inheritance args[]){
Cat c=new Cat();
Hierarchical Inheritance c.meow();
c.eat();
Hybrid Inheritance }
}

5.5 Polymorphism in Java

Polymorphism in OOP is the ability of an entity class Calculator

{
to take several forms. In other words, it refers to int add(int x, int y)
the ability of an object (or a reference to an {
object) to take different forms of objects. It return x+y;
}
allows a common data-gathering message to be int add(int x, int y, int z)
sent to each class. Polymorphism encourages a {
return x+y+z;
concept called ‘extendibility’ which means an
}
object or a class can have its uses extended.  }
public class Test
{
public static void main(String args[])
TYPES OF POLYMORPHISM {
Calculator obj = new Calculator();
Static Polymorphism System.out.println(obj.add(100, 200));
System.out.println(obj.add(100, 200,
Dynamic Polymorphism 300));
}

DATA STRUCTURES IN JAVA

A Data Structure is a way of storing and organizing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently.
It provides a means to manage large amounts of data efficiently. These are categorized into two types:

6.1 Linear Data Structures

Linear data structures in Java are those whose elements are sequential and ordered in a way so that
there is only one first element and has only one next element, there is only one last element and has
only one previous element, while all other elements have a next and a previous element.

ARRAYS
1
An array represents a group of similar data type elements, accessed by an index. The size of an array must
be provided before storing data.

2 LINKED LIST
A linked list is a linear data structure with the collection of multiple nodes, where each element stores its
own data and a pointer to the location of the next element. The last link in a linked list points to null,
indicating the end of the chain. An element in a linked list is called a node. The first node is called the head.
The last node is called the tail.

STACKS
3 Stack, an abstract data structure, is a collection of objects that are inserted and
removed according to the last-in-first-out (LIFO) principle. Objects can be inserted
into a stack at any point of time, but only the most recently inserted (that is, “last”)
object can be removed at any time.

QUEUES
4
Queues are also another type of abstract data structure. Unlike a stack, the queue is
a collection of objects that are inserted and removed according to the first-in-first-
out (FIFO) principle. That is, elements can be inserted at any point of time, but only
the element that has been in the queue the longest can be removed at any time.

6.2 Hierarchical Data Structures

Hierarchical data structures in Java store elements on the basis of their hierarchy. These types of data
structures are efficient for visualizing and retrieving the data.

BINARY TREE
1
Binary Tree is a hierarchical tree data structure in which each node
has at most two children, which are referred to as the left child and
the right child. Each binary tree has the following group of nodes:
Root Node: It is the topmost node and often referred to as the
main node because all other nodes can be reached from the root
Left Sub-Tree, a sub- binary tree on the LHS of the Root Node
Right Sub-Tree, a sub-binary tree on the RHS of the Root Node

2 BINARY HEAP
Binary Heap is a complete binary tree, which answers to the heap property. In simple terms, it is a variation
of a binary tree with the following properties:
Heap is a complete binary tree: A tree is said to be complete if all its levels, except possibly the deepest,
are complete. This property of Binary Heap makes it suitable to be stored in an array.
Follows heap property: A Binary Heap is either a Min-Heap or a Max-Heap.
Min Binary Heap: For every node in a heap, node’s value is lesser than or equal to values of the children.
Max Binary Heap: For every node in a heap, the node’s value is greater than or equal to values of the
children.

HASH TABLES
3
Imagine that you have an object and you want to assign a key to it to make searching very easy. To store that
key/value pair, you can use a simple array like a data structure where keys (integers) can be used directly as
an index to store data values. However, in cases where the keys are too large and cannot be used directly as
an index, a technique called hashing is used.

In hashing, the large keys are converted into small keys

by using hash functions. The values are then stored in a
data structure called a hash table. A hash table is a data
structure that implements a dictionary ADT, a structure
that can map unique keys to values.

In general, a hash table has two major components:

1. Bucket Array
2. Hash Function

ADVANCE JAVA CONCEPTS

This chapter will introduce you to some of the advanced concepts of Java which serves major
functionalities in making a program efficient.

7.1 Multithreading in Java

A multithreaded program contains two or more parts that can run concurrently. Each part of such a
program is called a thread and each thread defines a separate path of execution. Thus, multithreading
is a specialized form of multitasking.  Java’s multithreading system is built upon the Thread class, its
methods, and its companion interface i.e., Runnable.

Java lets you create a thread in the following two ways:-

HOW TO CREATE
1. By implementing the Runnable interface
A JAVA THREAD? 2. By extending the Thread

class MyThread implements Runnable {

String name; OUTPUT
Thread t;
CREATING MULTIPLE THREADS

New thread: Thread[One,5,main]

MyThread (String threadname){
name = threadname; New thread: Thread[Two,5,main]
t = new Thread(this, name); New thread: Thread[Three,5,main]
System.out.println("New thread: " + t); One: 5
t.start();
} Two: 5
public void run() { Three: 5
try { for(int i = 5; i > 0; i--) One: 4
{ System.out.println(name + ": " + i);
Thread.sleep(1000); Two: 4
} Three: 4
}catch (InterruptedException e) { One: 3
System.out.println(name + "Interrupted");
Three: 3
}
System.out.println(name + " exiting."); Two: 3
} } One: 2
Three: 2
class Main {
public static void main(String args[]) { Two: 2
new MyThread("One"); One: 1
new MyThread("Two"); Three: 1
new MyThread("Three");
try { Thread.sleep(10000); Two: 1
} catch (InterruptedException e) { One exiting.
System.out.println("Main thread Two exiting.
Interrupted");
Three exiting.
}
System.out.println("Main thread exiting."); Main thread exiting.
} }

7.2 Exception Handling in Java

Errors arise unexpectedly and can result in disrupting the normal flow of execution. This is something
that every programmer faces at one point or the other while coding.
Java, being the most prominent object-
oriented language, provides a powerful
mechanism to handle these
errors/exceptions called Exception
Handling.  All exception and error types
are subclasses of class Throwable, which
is the base class of the hierarchy. One
branch is headed by Error which occurs
at run-time and the other by Exception
that can happen either at compile-time
or run-time.
