1.1 Introduction to Java
Introduction to Java
• Developed by Sun Microsystems (has merged into Oracle Corporation later)
• Initiated by James Gosling• Released in 1995• Java has 3 main versions as Java SE, Java EE
and Java ME
Features of Java
Object Oriented Platform independent Simple Secure Portable Robust Multi-threaded Interpreted High Performance
What you can create by Java?
• Desktop (GUI) applications• Enterprise level applications• Web applications• Web services• Java Applets• Mobile applications
2.1 Getting Start Java Programming Language
Start Java Programming
What you need to program in Java?
Java Development Kit (JDK)Microsoft Notepad or any other text editorCommand Prompt
Creating First Java Program
public class MyFirstApp{public static void main(String[] args){System.out.println("Hello World");}}
MyFirstApp.java
Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
1. When Java source code (.java files) is compiled, it is translated into Java bytecodes and then placed into (.class) files.
2. The JVM executes Java bytecodes and run the program.
Java was designed with a concept of write once and run anywhere. Java Virtual Machine plays the
central role in this concept.
Basic Rules to Remember
Java is case sensitive…
Hello not equals to hello
Basic Rules to Remember
Class name should be a single word and it cannot contain symbols and should be started
with a character…
Wrong class name Correct way
Hello World HelloWorld
Java Window Java_Window
3DUnit Unit3D
“FillForm” FillForm
public class MyFirstApp{public static void main(String[] args){System.out.println("Hello World");}}
Basic Rules to Remember
Name of the program file should exactly match the class name...
Save as MyFirstApp.java
Basic Rules to Remember
Main method which is a mandatory part of every java program…
public class MyFirstApp{public static void main(String[] args){System.out.println("Hello World");}}
Basic Rules to Remember
Tokens must be separated by WhitespacesExcept ( ) ; { } . [ ] + - * / =
public class MyFirstApp{public static void main(String[] args){System.out.println("Hello World");}}
Keywords in Java
Comments in Java Programs
Comments for single line
// this is a single line comment
For multiline
/* this is a multilinecomment*/
Printing Statements
System.out.print(“your text”); //prints text
System.out.println(“your text”); //prints text and create a new line
System.out.print(“line one\n line two”);//prints text in two lines
2.2 Java Variables Java Objects Java Methods

String Argument
Variables in a Class
Variables in a Class can be categorize into three types
1. Local Variables2. Instance Variables3. Static/Class Variables
Local Variables
• Declared in methods, constructors, or blocks.
• Access modifiers cannot be used.
• Visible only within the declared method, constructor or block.
• Should be declared with an initial value.
public class Vehicle{int number;String color;static String model;
void Drive(){int speed = 100;System.out.print(“vehicle is driving in “ + speed + “kmph”);}
}
Instance Variables
• Declared in a class, but outside a method, constructor or any block.
• Access modifiers can be given.• Can be accessed directly
anywhere in the class. • Have default values. • Should be called using an
object reference to access within static methods and outside of the class.
public class Vehicle{int number;String color;static String model;
void Drive(){int speed = 100;System.out.print(“vehicle is driving in “ + speed + “kmph”);}
}
Static/Class Variables
public class Vehicle{int number;String color;static String model;
void Drive(){int speed = 100;System.out.print(“vehicle is driving in “ + speed + “kmph”);}
}
• Declared with the static keyword in a class, but outside a method, constructor or a block.
• Only one copy for each class regardless how many objects created.
• Have default values. • Can be accessed by calling
with the class name.
3.1 Operators
Arithmetic Operators
Operator Description Example+ Addition A + B will give 30
- Subtraction A - B will give -10
* Multiplication A * B will give 200
/ Division B / A will give 2
% Modulus B % A will give 0
++ Increment B++ gives 21
-- Decrement B-- gives 19
A = 10, B = 20
Assignment Operators
Operator Example
= C = A + B will assign value of A + B into C
+= C += A is equivalent to C = C + A
-= C -= A is equivalent to C = C - A
*= C *= A is equivalent to C = C * A
/= C /= A is equivalent to C = C / A
%= C %= A is equivalent to C = C % A
Comparison Operators
Operator Example
== (A == B) is false.
!= (A != B) is true.
> (A > B) is false.
< (A < B) is true.
>= (A >= B) is false.
<= (A <= B) is true.
A = 10, B = 20

Non Access Modifiers
• The static modifier for creating class methods and variables.
• The final modifier for finalizing the implementations of classes, methods, and variables.
• The abstract modifier for creating abstract classes and methods.
• The synchronized and volatile modifiers, which are used for threads.
4.3 Interfaces
Interfaces
• An interface contains a collection of abstract methods that a class implements.
• Interfaces states the names of methods, their return types and arguments.
• There is no body for any method in interfaces.
• A class can implement more than one interface at a time.
interface Vehicle{public void Drive(int speed);public void Stop();}
public class Car implements Vehicle{
public void Drive(int kmph){System.out.print(“Vehicle is driving in ” + kmph + “kmph speed”);}
public void Stop(){System.out.print(“Car stopped!”);}

6.1 String
Strings
• String is a sequence of characters• In java, Strings are objects.• Strings have been given some features to be
looked similar to primitive type.
String <variable name> = new String(“<value>”);orString <variable name> = “<value>”;
Useful Operations with Strings
• Concatenating Strings• length()• charAt(<index>)• substring(int <begin index>, int <end index>)• trim()• toLowerCase() • toUpperCase()
6.2 String Buffer and String Builder Classes
StringBuffer Class
The java.lang.StringBuffer class is a thread-safe, mutable sequence of characters.
StringBuffer <variable name> = new StringBuffer(" <value> ");
StringBuffer Class Methodspublic StringBuffer append(String s)Updates the value of the object that invoked the method. The method takes boolean, char, int, long, Strings etc.
public StringBuffer reverse()The method reverses the value of the StringBuffer object that invoked the method.
public delete(int start, int end)Deletes the string starting from start index until end index.
public insert(int offset, int i)This method inserts an string s at the position mentioned by offset.
replace(int start, int end, String str)This method replaces the characters in a substring of this StringBuffer with characters in the specified String.
StringBuilder Class
The java.lang.StringBuilder class is mutable sequence of characters. This provides an API compatible with StringBuffer, but with no guarantee of synchronization.
StringBuilder <variable name> = new StringBuilder(" <value> ");
StringBuilder Class MethodsStringBuilder append(String str)This method appends the specified string to this character sequence.
StringBuilder reverse()This method causes this character sequence to be replaced by the reverse of the sequence.
StringBuilder delete(int start, int end)This method removes the characters in a substring of this sequence.
StringBuilder insert(int offset, String str)This method inserts the string into this character sequence.
StringBuilder replace(int start, int end, String str)This method replaces the characters in a substring of this sequence with characters in the specified String.
Comparison
String Class StringBuffer Class StringBuilder Class
Immutable Mutable Mutable
Not thread safe Thread safe Not thread safe
Not synchronized Synchronized Not synchronized
Fast Slow Fast
6.3 Scanner
Scanner Class
• The java.util.Scanner is useful for breaking down formatter input into tokens and translating individual tokens to their data type.
• A Scanner breaks its input into tokens using a delimiter pattern, which by default matches whitespace.
Scanner <variable name> = new Scanner(“<value>”);
Scanner <variable name> = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader(“<filename.ext>”));
Scanner Class MethodsString next()This method finds and returns the next complete token from this scanner.
String next(String pattern)This method returns the next token if it matches the pattern constructed from the specified string.
boolean hasNext()This method returns true if this scanner has another token in its input.
String nextLine()This method advances this scanner past the current line and returns the input that was skipped.
Scanner useDelimiter(String pattern)This method sets this scanner's delimiting pattern to a pattern constructed from the specified String.
int nextInt()This method scans the next token of the input as an int.
7.1 Wrapper Classes
Wrapper Classes
• Each of Java's eight primitive data types has a class dedicated to it known as wrapper classes.
• A wrapper class wraps around a data type and gives it an object appearance.
• Wrapper classes are part of the java.lang package, which is imported by default into all Java programs.
Wrapper Classes
Wrapper Classes
Primitive Wrapper Class Constructor Argument
boolean Boolean boolean or String
byte Byte byte or String
char Character char
int Integer int or String
float Float float, double or String
double Double double or String
long Long long or String
short Short short or String
Wrapper Class MethodsMethod Purpose
parseInt(s) Returns a signed decimal integer value equivalent to string s
toString(i) Returns a new String object representing the integer i
byteValue() Returns the value of this Integer as a byte
doubleValue() Returns the value of this Integer as an double
floatValue() Returns the value of this Integer as a float
intValue() Returns the value of this Integer as an int
shortValue() Returns the value of this Integer as a short
longValue() Returns the value of this Integer as a long
int compareTo(int i) Compares the numerical value of the invoking object with that of i. Returns 0, minus value or positive value
static int compare(int num1, int num2)
Compares the values of num1 and num2. Returns 0, minus value or positive value
boolean equals(Object intObj)
Returns true if the invoking Integer object is equivalent to intObj. Otherwise, it returns false
7.2 Auto Boxing
AutoBoxing
Autoboxing is the automatic conversion that the Java compiler makes between the primitive types and their corresponding object wrapper classes.
AutoBoxing
Integer intObject = 34; //autoboxingint x = intObject; //unboxingint x = intObject + 7; //unboxing
AutoBoxing in Method Invocation
public static Integer show(Integer iParam){ System.out.println(iParam); return iParam;}
//method invocation
show(3); //autoboxingint result = show(3); //unboxing
Comparing Objects with equality Operator
Integer num1 = 1; // autoboxingint num2 = 1;System.out.println(num1 == num2); // true
Integer obj1 = 1; // autoboxing will call Integer.valueOf()Integer obj2 = 1; // same call to Integer.valueOf() will return same cached Object (values less than 255)System.out.println(obj1 == obj2); // true
Integer one = new Integer(1); // no autoboxingInteger anotherOne = new Integer(1);System.out.println("one == anotherOne); // false
8.1 Basic Collection Framework
What is a Collection?
• An object that groups multiple elements into a single unit.
• Used to store, retrieve, manipulate, and communicate aggregate data.
• They represent data items that form a natural group, such as a mail folder (collection of letters), or a telephone directory (a mapping of names to phone numbers).
Java Collection Framework
Java Collection Framework is a unified architecture for representing and manipulating collections.
It contain the following:
• Interfaces: Abstract data types that represent collections.
• Implementations: Concrete implementations of the collection interfaces.
• Algorithms: Methods that perform useful computations.
Interfaces on Collection FrameworkThe Collection InterfaceThis enables you to work with groups of objects; it is at the top of the collections hierarchy.
The List InterfaceThis extends Collection and an instance of List stores an ordered collection of elements.
The SetThis extends Collection to handle sets, which must contain unique elements
The SortedSetThis extends Set to handle sorted sets
The MapThis maps unique keys to values.
The Map.EntryThis describes an element (a key/value pair) in a map. This is an inner class of Map.
The SortedMapThis extends Map so that the keys are maintained in ascending order.
The EnumerationThis is legacy interface and defines the methods by which you can enumerate (obtain one at a time) the elements in a collection of objects.
Implementations on Collection FrameworkAbstractCollectionImplements most of the Collection interface.
AbstractListExtends AbstractCollection and implements most of the List interface.
AbstractSequentialListExtends AbstractList for use by a collection that uses sequential rather than random access of its elements.
LinkedListImplements a linked list by extending AbstractSequentialList.
ArrayListImplements a dynamic array by extending AbstractList.
AbstractSetExtends AbstractCollection and implements most of the Set interface.
HashSetExtends AbstractSet for use with a hash table.
LinkedHashSetExtends HashSet to allow insertion-order iterations.
Implementations on Collection FrameworkTreeSetImplements a set stored in a tree. Extends AbstractSet.
AbstractMapImplements most of the Map interface.
HashMapExtends AbstractMap to use a hash table.
TreeMapExtends AbstractMap to use a tree.
WeakHashMapExtends AbstractMap to use a hash table with weak keys.
LinkedHashMapExtends HashMap to allow insertion-order iterations.
IdentityHashMapExtends AbstractMap and uses reference equality when comparing documents.
Implementations on Collection Framework
VectorThis implements a dynamic array. It is similar to ArrayList, but with some differences.
StackStack is a subclass of Vector that implements a standard last-in, first-out stack.
DictionaryDictionary is an abstract class that represents a key/value storage repository and operates much like Map.
HashtableHashtable was part of the original java.util and is a concrete implementation of a Dictionary.
PropertiesProperties is a subclass of Hashtable. It is used to maintain lists of values in which the key is a String and the value is also a String.
BitSetA BitSet class creates a special type of array that holds bit values. This array can increase in size as needed.
Algorithms on Collection Framework
static int binarySearch(List list, Object value)Searches for value in list. The list must be sorted. Returns the position of value in list, or -1 if value is not found.
static Object max(Collection c)Returns the maximum element in c as determined by natural ordering. The collection need not be sorted.
static Object min(Collection c)Returns the minimum element in c as determined by natural ordering.
static void sort(List list, Comparator comp)Sorts the elements of list as determined by comp.
static void shuffle(List list)Shuffles the elements in list.
9.1 Java Exception
Exceptions
An exception is a problem that arises during the execution of a program. An exception can occur for many different reasons, like:
• A user has entered invalid data.• A file that needs to be opened cannot be found.• A network connection has been lost in the
middle of communications
Exception Hierarchy
Throwable
Exception Error
IOException RuntimeException ThreadDeath
ArithmeticException NullPointerException ClassCastException
******
Exception Categories
• Checked exceptions: Cannot simply be ignored at the time of compilation.
• Runtime exceptions: Ignored at the time of compilation.
• Errors: Problems that arise beyond the control of the user or the programmer.
Handling and Throwing Exceptions
try { //Protected code } catch(ExceptionName var) { //Catch block } finally { //The finally block always executes}
public void Show() throws <ExceptionName> {throw new <ExceptionName>;}
You can…
handle Exceptionsby using try catch blocks
or
throw Exceptions
Declaring you own Exception
• All exceptions must be a child of Throwable.
• If you want to write a checked exception, you need to extend the Exception class.
• If you want to write a runtime exception, you need to extend the RuntimeException class.
