Chapter 1: language fundamental and operators Java is product of Oracle Company, but initially it is developed by sun micro system. Java is conceived by a team headed by James Gosling. Initially it is called Ook, but after renamed to java. Java has a tag line : Write once and run everywhere, means java program can run on different platforms without recompiling it. Java follow the coding procedure of object oriented programming, so it is called object oriented language. In Object Oriented Programming, emphasis gives to object rather than the procedure. There are four pillars of Object Oriented Programming Encapsulation Abstraction Inheritance Polymorphism

a. Encapsulation: Binding of data and the methods(functions) which works on that data is called Encapsulation. Encapsulation also decides which members of this binding are accessible from outside of it or which are not. Using Class concept with visibility controls we can achieve encapsulation in object oriented programming. b. Abstraction: Hiding the implementation to the outside world is called Abstraction. Abstraction makes our work easier to only concentrate on the required features without knowing the background implementation of it. Abstraction is key concept in object oriented programming. c. Inheritance: Inheritance is a concept which supports reusability of components in objects oriented programming. By Inheritance we can get already compiled code reused without recompiling it. Using inheritance we can also create relationship between two classes in Object Oriented Programming. d. Polymorphism: Polymorphism is a concept through which we can create more than one forms of methods which have same name. Using same name, programmer can create many functionality under one name, but in separate function. Difference between Java and C++ Java C++

Java is a true and complete object C++ is an extension of C with object oriented language. oriented behaviour. C++ is not a complete object oriented language as that of Java. Java does classes. not provide template C++ offers Template classes.

Java supports multiple inheritance C++ achieves multiple inheritance by using interface. permitting classes to inherit from multiple classes.

Java does not support pointers. Java C++ supports pointers. used reference to point to some object. In Java, destruction of objects is In C++, destruction of objects is performed in finalize method. performed by destructor function. In Java, we create objects In C++, Object can be stored in stack dynamically only. Objects are in or heap memory. heap memory always In Java Exception Handling, we can In C++, we can throw any thing. throw only objects which are inhered from Throwable Class.

Java doesnt provide header files.

C++ has header files.

Java and Internet: Java is strongly associated with the Internet. Internet users can use Java to create applet programs and run them locally using a "Java-enabled browser" such as HotJava. They can also use a Java-enabled browser to download an applet located on a computer anywhere in the Internet and run it on his local computer. In fact, Java applets have made the Internet a true extension of the storage system of the local computer. Internet users can also setup their websites containing java applets that could be used by other remote users of Internet. This feature made Java most popular programming language for Internet. Java and World Wide Web: World Wide Web (WWW) is an open-ended information retrieval system designed to be used in the Internet's distributed environment. This system contains Web pages that provide both information and controls. Web system is open-ended and we can navigate to a new document in any direction. This is made possible with the help of a language called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). Web pages contain HTML tags that enable us to find, retrieve, manipulate and display documents worldwide.

Java was meant to be used in distributed environments such as Internet. Since, both the Web and Java share the same philosophy, Java could be easily incorporated into the Web system. Before Java, the World Wide Web was limited to the display of still images and texts. However, the incorporation of Java into Web pages has made it capable of supporting animation, graphics, games, and a wide range of special effects. 1.1 Java byte code power : As java compiler internally convert the java source code into byte code , and this byte code is platform independent means byte code generated by java compiler can be accessible in every platform that install java virtual machine.

What we will do in java Programmer writes java source file using note pad or some java editors and save this source file with .java extension. This .java file is compiled using javac compiler which removes all the syntax errors in your code and if it satisfied , it creates a file with .class extension which contains the byte code as shown in below diagram.

This byte code is accessible on any platform , thats why java is called platform independent. 1.2 Java Features 1.Simple: Java is easy to learn when compared to other languages, because it adapted the syntaxs from c and c++. This makes java programmer to learn the language syntax faster. All the features which is adapted from c have the same syntax in java as in c. 2. OO (Object Orientedness) implementation In java, if we dont know Object Oriented concepts, we cannot even write a hello world program also. Because in java , main is also kept in class , so even to run the hello world program , we have to write the class . Java implements code according to Object Oriented Paradigm. Each and every thing is java is kept inside classes and to access the features that class provides we require objects. Using classes and objects and access modifiers of language we get encapsulation. Using Interface we can get abstraction. Method Overloading and Method Overriding is an example of Polymorphism. In java, Inheritance is also possible. So java implements all the four pillars of Object Oriented Concepts. 3. Dynamic In java, All the user defined things are stored on heap memory , and heap memory is dynamic memory . In java , we cant define user defined objects on stack. All the user defined objects are created using the new operator, which is used to allocate memory on heap.
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :7

Dynamic, that means java has got pointers. java has got pointers, but pointers cannot misbehave in a freak way and in all java, Because they cant ptr++ or ptr--. Internally java compiler controls the pointer working. 4. Robust Memory leaks cannot happen, pointer cannot freak around in the memory. This happens because java itself have the responsibly of garbage collection , we can allocate memory using new operator in java , but java itself collected back this memory when object are not reachable .And exception handling is much more powerful in java as compared to previous languages , that make the java robust. 5. java is platform independent What is the meaning of platform independence ? Platform independence technically means We dont need to recompile our application across platforms. For Example , it we write a c code and save it as A.c , the after compiling this c code we get A.exe. A.c and A.exe both are not portable across operating system . now in java world. If we write A.java and compiled it using javac compiler , then it creates A.class , A.java and A.class both are same for windows and unix or for that matter any platform. but windows and unix dont understand A.class.to make windows and unix understand A.class , we need to use something called JVM. JVM is not same for windows and unix.jvm is platform dependant we dont need to think about it, because we dont build jvm's. JVM is compulsorily required to run java programs. JVM is like an intermediary between Os and the java program. so we got a intermediary, so we got slowness. So java is slow. 6. Type casting rules Data type enforcement is very strict, and we dont have this kind of a scrap called sizeof. In java , if we try to convert one datatype to another data type intentionally or mistakenly , then java dont allowed us to do so .Refer the type casting topic for further assistant. 7. Multithreaded enviouement : Java supports multithreading , through which we can do multitasking in our program , so that we can utilize our processor more effectively. 1.3 Language Building Blocks: Like any other programming languages , java programming languages is defined by grammar rules that specify how the syntactically legal constructs can be formed using languages elements.

1.3.1 Lexical tokens/ tokens Java Tokens:- A java Program is made up of Classes and Methods and in the Methods are the Container of the various Statements And a Statement is made up of Variables, Constants, operators etc . Tokens are the various Java program elements which are identified by the compiler. A token is the smallest element of a program that is meaningful to the compiler. Tokens supported in Java include keywords, variables, constants, special characters, operations etc.

When you compile a program, the compiler scans the text in your source code and extracts individual tokens. While tokenizing the source file, the compiler recognizes and subsequently removes whitespaces (spaces, tabs, newline and form feeds) and the text enclosed within comments. Now let us consider a program //Print Hello Public class Hello { Public static void main(String args[]) { System.out.println(Hello Java); } } The source code contains tokens such as public, class, Hello, {, public, static, void, main, (, String, [], args, {, System, out, println, (, "Hello Java", }, }. The resulting tokens are compiled into Java bytecodes that is capable of being run from within an interpreted java environment. Token are useful for

Identifiers A name in a program is called identifiers . Identifiers can be used to denote classes , methods and variables. In java identifiers is composed as a sequence of characters where each letter can be either a digit, a letter , a currency symbol like $ or can be underscore (_). Note: Java identifiers cannot start with the digit . Java is case sensitive languages e.g price and Price are different in java

Keywords Keywords are the reserved identifiers that are predefined in the languages and cannot be used to denote other entities.

Separators Separators help define the structure of a program. The separators used in HelloWorld are parentheses, ( ), braces, { }, the period, ., and the semicolon, ;. The table lists the six Java separators (nine if you count opening and closing separators as two). Following are the some characters which are generally used as the separators in Java.

Separator Name . Period

Use It is used to separate the package name from subpackage name & class name. It is also used to separate variable or method from its object or instance. It is used to separate the consecutive parameters in the method definition. It is also used to separate the consecutive variables of same type while declaration.

Comma

; () {} []

Semicolon It is used to terminate the statement in Java. Parenthesis This holds the list of parameters in method definition. Also used in control statements & type casting. Braces Brackets This is used to define the block/scope of code, class, methods. It is used in array declaration.

1.4 Comments A program can be documented by inserting comments at relevant places . these comments are ignored by the compiler. It is not considered as a coding part of a project . Java provides three types of comments Single Line comment

Multi line comments or Block Comment A documentation (or Javadoc) Comment

Single line comments Single line Comments is used to comment a single line in a program . Single line comment syntax is // this comments ends at the end of this line. MultiLine Comments A multiline comments can span several lines . Such a comments starts with /* and ends with */.Multiline comments are also called block comment. /* A comment On several lines */ Documentation Comment A documentation comment is a special-purpose comment that when placed before class or class member declarations can be extracted and used by the javadoc tool to generate HTML documentation for the program. Documentation comments are usually placed in front of classes, interfaces, methods and field definitions. Groups of special tags can be used inside a documentation comment to provide more specific information. Such a comment starts with /** and ends with */: 1.5 Primitive Datatypes Primitive data types in java is divided into three main categories Integral types consisting of integers and char. Floating Point types includes float and double. Boolean Type

Integral datatypes : As shown in above diagram , integral datatypes are divided in integers types and character types in java . Integer types : in java integers types are divided in four sub types

Range of Integer Values Data Type Byte Short Int Long Width (bits) 8 16 32 64 Minimum MIN_VALUE -27 (-128) -215 (-32768) -231 (-2147483648) value Maximum MAX_VALUE 27-1 (+127) 215-1 (+32767) 231-1 (+2147483647) value

-263 (- 263-1 9223372036854775808L) (+9223372036854775807L)

Note: Range of datatype specifies the range of value that a variable can hold. For Example range of byte is -128 to 127 . so we can represent number between -128 to 127 by using byte datatype. If value is greater then 127 or less then -128 , then it is not possible with byte. Primitive data values are atomic values and are not objects. Atomic means they cant be further divided. Each Primitive data type has a corresponding wrapper class that can be used to represent a primitive data type as an object.

Character type Character datatype is used to hold the character value , it is represented using the char keyword in java. Range of Character Values Data Type Width (bits) Minimum value Char 16 0x0 (\u0000) Unicode Maximum Unicode value 0xffff (\uffff)

Note : java supports Unicode character set to represent the characters and other special symbols .

3.Booleans Datatypes Boolean data types is used to represent logical values that can be either true or false . Width is not applicable for Boolean types variables. Note : In java , all the relational , conditional and Boolean logical operators returns Boolean values. All the control statements in java depends on the Boolean value. In java , Booleans values cannot be converted to other primitive data types and vice versa is also true.

1.6 Default values for primitive data types Default values of primitive data types are used when we are not initialize the non local variables in java . Non local variables in java are initialized by its default values. For Example , if we initialize the non local int variable , it its initializes with 0. Variables for a function/methods are called local variables , all other variables are called non local variables. Default Values Data Type Boolean Char Integer (byte, short, int, long) Floating-point (float, double) Reference types Default Value false '\u0000' 0L for long, 0 for others 0.0F or 0.0D null

1.7 Operators in java A symbol that represents a specific action is called operators . For Example plus sign (+) is an operator that represents the addition of two numbers. Precedence and Associativity Rules for operators : Precedence and Associativity rules are necessary for the deterministic evaluation of the expression . For example if we have the below expression int a = 5+4*5; it can be understand as (5+4) * 5 or 5 + (4*5). In both cases the value for the variable a is different , so to avoid such type of undeterministic result , java provides the Associativity and precedence (priority) rules on operators. Precedence rules are used to determine which operator should be applied first if there are two operators with difference precedence. Operator with the highest precedence is applied first . Precedence for each operators is study during the explanation of operator in this chapter later. Associativity rules are used to determine which operator should be applied first if there are two operators with the same precedence. Left Associativity implies grouping from left to right. e.g. 1+2-3 if it applies left Associativity then it is considered as ((1+2)-3) Right Associativity implies grouping from right to left.

e.g. 1+2-3 if it applies right Associativity then it is considered as (1+(2-3))

1.7.1 Simple Assignment Operator (=) Assignment operators assign the right hand side value(expression) of = to the left hand side of variable. Assignment operator has the following syntax <variable>=<expression> Note: Expression value is calculated first, then the result of expression is assign to variable. Assignment operators = writes over the previous value of the destination variable For Ex: suppose if we have int i=5; In the next line ,Let we write i=5+4; Then i becomes 9 , overwrites the 5. The destination variable and source expression must be type compatible.

For Ex : int i=5; //fine int j=5.5;//not fine because 5.5 is a flaot value, integer datatye is not able to take float values , so we need type casting. Precedence of Assignment operator is minimum in all operators. Associativity of Assignment operator is right to left. Ex : int i,j; i=j=10; //(i=(j=10)) so Associtivity is right to left , so first 10 is assign to j , then j value is assign to i . i=j=10; //Mutiple Assignment in same line. 1.7.2 Arithmetic operators Arithmetic operators are used to constructs the mathematical expression as in algebra. Ex: int a =5;

int b =10; int c = a+b; In above Example + operator is used to add two operand . if any one of two is of string type then it concatenates the two operands.

Arithmetic Operators Binary * + Multiplication Addition / Division Subtraction % Remainder

Note: All arithmetic operators are binary operators. They require two operands as shown in diagram. All arithmetic operators have left to right associativity. Precedence of arithmetic operators are shown in operators diagram above. Multiplication, division and Remainder ( modulus) operator have higher precedence then addition and subtraction. Operators in the same row have equal precedence in above diagram. If there are different precedence operators in an expression, then we applied the precedence rules for avoiding ambiguous behaviour . If there are same precedence operators in an expression , then we applied the associativity rules for avoiding ambiguous behaviour.

Multiplication Operator: * Multiplication operator (*) multiplies two numbers. int sameSigns = -4 * -8; // result: 32 double oppositeSigns = 4.0 * -8.0; // result: -32.0 int zero = 0 * -0; // result: 0 Division Operator: / The division operator / is overloaded. If its operands are integral, the operation results in integer division. int i1 = 4 / 5; // result: 0 int i2 = 8 / 8; // result: 1 double d1 = 12 / 8; // result: 1 by integer division. d1 gets the value 1.0. Integer division always returns the quotient as an integer value, i.e. the result is truncated toward zero. Note that the division performed is integer division if the operands have integral values, even if the result will be stored in a floating-point type. If any of the operands is a floating-point type, the operation performs floating-point division. double d2 = 4.0 / 8; // result: 0.5 double d3 = 8 / 8.0; // result: 1.0 double d4 = 12.0F / 8; // result: 1.5F double result1 = 12.0 / 4.0 * 3.0; double result2 = 12.0 * 3.0 / 4.0; Remainder Operator: % In mathematics, when we divide a number (the dividend) by a another number (the divisor), the result can be expressed in terms of a quotient and a remainder. For example, dividing 7 by 5, the quotient is 1 and the remainder is 2. The remainder operator % returns the remainder of the division performed on the operands. int quotient = 7 / 5; // Integer division operation: 1 int remainder = 7 % 5; // Integer remainder operation: 2 1.7.3 Relational operators Relational Operators a<b a <= b a>b a >= b a less than b? a less than or equal to b? a greater than b? a greater than or equal to b? // ((12.0 / 4.0) * 3.0) which is 9 // ((12.0 * 3.0) / 4.0) which is 9

Relational operators are used to compare(relate) the two operands, All the relational operators returns Boolean value in java. Relational operators are binary operators means they require two operands . and there operands are numeric expressions. Relational operators are non associative. Relational operators have precedence lower then the arithmetic operators but higher than assignment operator.

1.7.4 Equality Operator(==) Equality Operators a == b a != b a and b are equal? That is, have the same primitive value? (Equality) a and b are not equal? That is, do not have the same primitive value? (Inequality)

The equality operator == and the inequality operator != can be used to compare primitive data values, including boolean values. Note: 1.Equality operators have precedence less then the relational operators but greater then the assignment operator. 2. Associativity for equality operators are left to right. Ex: double hours = 45.5; boolean overtime = hours >= 35.0; // true. boolean order = 'A' < 'a'; // true. It compares the integer value for A and a . A = 65 and a=97 , so condition is true.

1.7.5 Boolean Logical Operators: !, ^, &, | Boolean logical operators include the unary operator ! (logical complement) and the binary operators & (logical AND), | (logical inclusive OR), and ^ (logical exclusive OR, a.k.a. logical XOR). Boolean logical operators can be applied to boolean operands, returning a boolean value. The operators &, |, and ^ can also be applied to integral operands to perform bitwise logical operations Boolean Logical Operators Logical complement Logical AND Logical OR Logical XOR !x Returns the complement of the truth-value of x.

x & y true if both operands are true; otherwise, false. x | y true if either or both operands are true; otherwise, false. x ^ y true if and only if one operand is true; otherwise, false.

Truth-values for Boolean Logical Operators x True True False False Y True False True False !x False False True True x&y true false false false x|y true true true false x^y false true true false

Note: Boolean logical operators have precedence less then arithmetic and relational operator but greater then assignment and Conditional AND and OR operator. In evaluation of boolean expressions involving boolean logical AND, XOR, and OR operators, both the operands are evaluated. The order of operand evaluation is always from left to right.

1.7.6 Conditional Operators: &&, || Conditional operators && and || are similar to their counterpart logical operators & and |, except that their evaluation is short-circuited. Given that x and y represent values of boolean expressions, the conditional operators are defined in below table. In the table, the operators are listed in decreasing precedence order.
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :20

Conditional Operators Conditional AND x && y true if both operands are true; otherwise, false. Conditional OR x || y true if either or both operands are true; otherwise, false. Unlike their logical counterparts & and |, which can also be applied to integral operands for bitwise operations, the conditional operators && and || can only be applied to boolean operands. Their evaluation results in a boolean value. Truth-values for conditional operators are shown in Table. Not surprisingly, they have the same truth-values as their counterpart logical operators. Truth-values for Conditional Operators x True True False False Y True False True False x && y True False False False x || y true true true false

Short-circuit Evaluation In evaluation of boolean expressions involving conditional AND and OR, the left-hand operand is evaluated before the right one, and the evaluation is short-circuited (i.e., if the result of the boolean expression can be determined from the left-hand operand, the right-hand operand is not evaluated). In other words, the right-hand operand is evaluated conditionally. The binary conditional operators have precedence lower than either arithmetic, relational, or logical operators, but higher than assignment operators. The following examples illustrate usage of conditional operators: boolean b1 = 4 == 2 && 1 < 4; // false, short-circuit evaluated as // (b1 = ((4 == 2) && (1 < 4))) boolean b2 = !b1 || 2.5 > 8; // true, short-circuit evaluated as // (b2 = ((!b1) || (2.5 > 8))) boolean b3 = !(b1 && b2); // true boolean b4 = b1 || !b3 && b2; // false, short-circuit evaluated as // (b4 = (b1 || ((!b3) && b2))) 1.7.7 Increment(++) and decrement(--) operators Increment operators and decrement operators are used to increment and decrement the value by 1.Increment and decrement operators comes in two flavours: postfix and prefix.

Postfix increment operator: post increment operator have the below syntax i++ uses the current value of i as the value of expression first , then it is incremented by 1. Below diagram explains the post Increment operator.

PreIncrement operator : pre increment operator have the below syntax ++i add 1 to i first , then uses the new value of i as the value for the expression .

Same story is applicable for the postdecrement and predecrement except it decrements the value by 1. 1.7.8 Bitwise operator Bitwise operators operates on binary equivalent of operands. & ( and ) : Do not confuse this with the && operator. This operator is used to AND two integers. The ANDing is done bitwise, that is the i-th bit of the left operand and i-th bit of the right operand are ANDed to give the i-th bit of the result. For e.g.

= 12 // 13 in form of 0 and 1 // 14 in form of 0 and 1 // 12 in form of 0 and 1

| ( or ) : Do not confuse this with the || operator. This operator is used to OR two integers. The XORing is done similar to that of the previous two operators. For e.g. 13 | 14 = 15 1101 | 1110 -----1111 ^ ( xor ) : This operator is used to XOR two integers. The XORing is done similar to that of the previous two operators. For e.g. 13 ^ 14 = 3 1101 ^ 1110 -----0011 ~ (not): This unary operator returns the bitwise NOT of an integer. This is not to be confused with the logical not (!) operator. For example, (!1) returns 0 (false), but (~1) returns 0xfffffffe; the logical value of both being true. >> ( right-shift ) : The operator shifts the integer n, k-bits to the right and returns that if it's used as n >> k. New ones are appended at the end. Right-shifting is equivalent to dividing the number by 2k. << ( left-shift ) : The operator shifts the integer n, k-bits to the right and returns that if it's used as n << k. New zeros are appened at the end. Left-shifting is equivalent to multiplying the number by 2k. Thus the expression 1<<n represents 2n.

There is one more bit-shift operator for Java Programmers, that is the unsigned right-shift operator >>> ( unsigned right-shift ) : While the signed right-shift operator ( >> ) shifts the bits to the right and the left most bits depends on sign extension, the unsigned right-shift operator ( >>> ) shifts zeros to the left most bits. Note that this operator is not in C/C++, as there are unsigned data types in C/C++ and not in Java. 1.8 Symbolic Constants Final variables serve as symbolic constants. A final variable declaration is qualified with the reserved word final. The variable is set to a value in the declaration and cannot be reset. Any such attempt is caught at compile time. Example: public class Student{ public static final int NUM_GRADES = 5; private String name; private int[] grades; public Student(String name){ this.name = name; this.grades = new int[NUM_GRADES]; } } 1.9 Selection Statements Java provides selection statements that allow the program to choose between alternative actions during execution. The choice is based on criteria specified in the selection statement. These selection statements are

if(<conditional expression>) <statement> It is used to decide whether an action is to be performed or not, based on a condition. The condition is specified by <conditional expression> and the action to be performed is specified by <statement>. The semantics of the simple if statement are straightforward. The <conditional expression> is evaluated first. If its value is true, then <statement> (called the if block) is executed and execution continues with the rest of the program. If the value is false, then the if block is skipped and execution continues with the rest of the program.

In the following examples of the if statement, it is assumed that the variables and the methods have been defined appropriately: if (emergency) // emergency is a boolean variable operate(); // single statement in if , no need to mention curley braces if (temperature > critical) soundAlarm(); if (isLeapYear() && endOfCentury()) celebrate(); if (catIsAway()) { getFishingRod(); goFishing(); } // Block , we have to mention curley braces

Note that <statement> can be a block, and the block notation is necessary if more that one statement is to be executed when the <conditional expression> is true.

Since the <conditional expression> must be a boolean expression, it avoids a common programming error: using an expression of the form (a=b) as the condition, where inadvertently an assignment operator is used instead of a relational operator. The compiler will flag this as an error, unless both a and b are boolean. Note that the if block can be any valid statement. In particular, it can be the empty statement (;) or the empty block ({}). A common programming error is an inadvertent use of the empty statement. if (emergency); // Empty if block operate(); // Executed regardless of whether it was an emergency or not. if-else Statement The if-else statement has the following syntax: if <statement1> else <statement2> It is used to decide between two actions, based on a condition. The <conditional expression> is evaluated first. If its value is true, then <statement1> (the if block) is executed and execution continues with the rest of the program. If the value is false, then <statement2> (the else block) is executed and execution continues with the rest of the program. In other words, one of two mutually exclusive actions is performed. The else clause is optional; if omitted, the construct reduces to the simple if statement. In the following examples of the if-else statement, it is assumed that all variables and methods have been defined appropriately: Ex 1: if (emergency) operate(); else joinQueue(); if (temperature > critical) soundAlarm(); else businessAsUsual(); (<conditional expression>)

Ex 2

The rule for matching an else clause is that an else clause always refers to the nearest if that is not already associated with another else clause. Block notation and proper indentation can be used to make the meaning obvious.

switch Statement Conceptually the switch statement can be used to choose one among many alternative actions, based on the value of an expression. Its general form is as follows: switch(<non-long integral expression>) { case label1: <statement1> case label2: <statement2> ... case labeln: <statementn> default: <statement> } // end switch The syntax of the switch statement comprises a switch expression followed by the switch body, which is a block of statements. The type of the switch expression is non-long integral (i.e., char, byte, short, or int). The statements in the switch body can be labeled, defining entry points in the switch body where control can be transferred depending on the value of the switch expression. The semantics of the switch statement are as follows:

The switch expression is evaluated first. The value of the switch expression is compared with the case labels. Control is transferred to the <statementi> associated with the case label that is equal to the value of the switch expression. After execution of the associated statement, control falls through to the next statement unless appropriate action is taken. If no case label is equal to the value of the switch expression, the statement associated with the default label is executed.

All labels (including the default label) are optional and can be defined in any order in the switch body. There can be at most one default label in a switch statement. If it is left out and no valid case labels are found, the whole switch statement is skipped. The case labels are constant expressions whose values must be unique, meaning no duplicate values are allowed. The case label values must be assignable to the type of the switch expression . In particular, the case label values must be in the range of the type of the switch expression. Note that the type of the case label cannot be boolean, long, or floating-point. Example 5.2 Using break in switch Statement public class Digits { public static void main(String[] args) {

A boolean condition (called the loop condition) is commonly used to determine when to terminate the loop. The statements executed in the loop constitute the loop body. The loop body can be a single statement or a block. Java provides three language constructs for constructing loops:

while statement do-while statement for statement

These loops differ in the order in which they execute the loop body and test the loop condition. The while and the for loops test the loop condition before executing the loop body, while the do-while loop tests the loop condition after execution of the loop body. while Statement The syntax

while(<loop condition>) <loop body> The loop condition is evaluated before executing the loop body. The while statement executes the loop body as long as the loop condition is true. When the loop condition becomes false, the loop is terminated and execution continues with the statement immediately following the loop. If the loop condition is false to begin with, the loop body is not executed at all. In other words, a while loop can execute zero or more times. The loop condition must be a boolean expression. The while statement is normally used when the number of iterations is not known a priori. while (noSignOfLife()) keepLooking(); Since the loop body can be any valid statement, inadvertently terminating each line with the empty statement (;) can give unintended results. while (noSignOfLife()); // Empty statement as loop body! keepLooking(); // Statement not in the loop body. do-while Statement The syntax of the do-while loop is do <loop body> while (<loop condition>); The loop condition is evaluated after executing the loop body. The do-while statement executes the loop body until the loop condition becomes false. When the loop condition becomes false, the loop is terminated and execution continues with the statement immediately following the loop. Note that the loop body is executed at least once. The loop body in a do-while loop is invariably a statement block. It is instructive to compare the while and the do-while loops. In the examples below, the mice might never get to play if the cat is not away, as in the loop at (1). The mice do get to play at least once (at the peril of losing their life) in the loop at (2). while (cat.isAway()) { mice.play(); } do { mice.play();

} while (cat.isAway()); for Statement The for loop is the most general of all the loops. It is mostly used for counter-controlled loops, that is, when the number of iterations is known beforehand. The syntax of the loop is as follows: for(<initialization>; <loop condition>; <increment expression>) <loop body> The <initialization> usually declares and initializes a loop variable that controls the execution of the <loop body>. The <loop condition> is a boolean expression, usually involving the loop variable, such that if the loop condition is true, the loop body is executed; otherwise, execution continues with the statement following the for loop. After each iteration (i.e., execution of the loop body), the <increment expression> is executed. This usually modifies the value of the loop variable to ensure eventual loop termination. The loop condition is then tested to determine if the loop body should be executed again. Note that the <initialization> is only executed once on entry to the loop. <initialization> while <loop body> <increment expression> }

(<loop condition>)

The following code creates an int array and sums the elements in the array. int sum = 0; int[] array = {12, 23, 5, 7, 19}; for (int index = 0; index < array.length; index++) // (1) sum += array[index]; The loop variable index is declared and initialized in the <initialization> section of the loop. It is incremented in the <increment expression> section. The for loop defines a local block such that the scope of this declaration is the for block, which comprises the <initialization>, the <loop condition>, the <loop body> and the <increment expression> sections. The loop at (1) showed how a declaration statement can be specified in the <initialization> section. Such a declaration statement can also specify a comma-separated list of variables. for (int i = 0, j = 1, k = 2; ... ; ...) ...;

The variables i, j, and k in the declaration statement all have type int. All variables declared in the <initialization> section are local variables in the for block and obey the scope rules for local blocks. For Each Statement For each statement is an alternative to for loop which is generally used to iterate over collections and array. Suppose if we have a linear array which is initialized using initialize list as int a[]={2,5,6,,8,4,9,10}; then to sum all the elements in this array , we require to traverse each element of the array and add it, so for this, we can used loops. Check the below diagram

1.11 Transfer Statements Java provides six language constructs for transferring control in a program:

break continue return try-catch-finally throw assert.

Note that Java does not have a goto statement, although goto is a reserved word.

break Statement The break statement comes in two forms: the unlabeled and the labeled form. break; break <label>; // the unlabeled form // the labeled form

The unlabeled break statement terminates loops (for, while, do-while) and switch statements which contain the break statement, and transfers control out of the current context (i.e., the closest enclosing block). The rest of the statement body is skipped, terminating the enclosing statement, with execution continuing after this statement. In Below Example , the break statement at (1) is used to terminate a for loop. Control is transferred to (2) when the value of i is equal to 4 at (1), skipping the rest of the loop body and terminating the loop. Example also shows that the unlabeled break statement only terminates the innermost loop or switch statement that contains the break statement. The break statement at (3) terminates the inner for loop when j is equal to 2, and execution continues in the outer switch statement at (4) after the for loop. Example break Statement class BreakOut { public static void main(String[] args) { for (int i = 1; i <= 5; ++i) { if (i == 4) break; // (1) Terminate loop. Control to (2). // Rest of loop body skipped when i gets the value 4. System.out.println(i + "\t" + Math.sqrt(i)); } // end for // (2) Continue here. int n = 2; switch (n) { case 1: System.out.println(n); break; case 2: System.out.println("Inner for loop: "); for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) if (j == 2) break; // (3) Terminate loop. Control to (4). else System.out.println(j); default: System.out.println("default: " + n); // (4) Continue here. }

Control is then transferred to the statement following the enclosing labeled statement. In the case of a labeled block, the rest of the block is skipped and execution continues with the statement following the block: out: { // (1) Labeled block // ... if (j == 10) break out; // (2) Terminate block. Control to (3). System.out.println(j); // Rest of the block not executed if j == 10. // ... } // (3) Continue here. continue Statement Like the break statement, the continue statement also comes in two forms: the unlabeled and the labeled form. continue; // the unlabeled form continue <label>; // the labeled form The continue statement can only be used in a for, while, or do-while loop to prematurely stop the current iteration of the loop body and proceed with the next iteration, if possible. In the case of the while and do-while loops, the rest of the loop body is skipped, that is, stopping the current iteration, with execution continuing with the <loop condition>. In the case of the for loop, the rest of the loop body is skipped, with execution continuing with the <increment expression>. In Example , an unlabeled continue statement is used to skip an iteration in a for loop. Control is transferred to (2) when the value of i is equal to 4 at (1), skipping the rest of the loop body and continuing with the <increment expression> in the for statement.

return Statement The return statement is used to stop execution of a method and transfer control back to the calling code (a.k.a. the caller). The usage of the two forms of the return statement is dictated by whether it is used in a void or a non-void method. The first form does not return any value to the calling code, but the second form does. Note that the keyword void does not represent any type. The <expression> must evaluate to a primitive value or a reference value, and its type must be assignable to the return type in the method prototype. A void method need not have a return statement in which case control normally returns to the caller after the last statement in the method's body has been executed. return Statement Form of return Statement return; return <expression>; In void Method optional not allowed In Non-void Method not allowed mandatory

Chapter 2 : Control Statements , Objects and classes 2.1 Classes Classes is a concept through which we can represent real world entity, Suppose if we want to represent house then class is used to describe the features of house Classes acts like a blueprint of the object. Through classes , we can define properties and behaviours of the object which is used to differentiate one object from other object . In java, properties of an object of a class, also called attributes, are defined using variables in java. Behaviours of an object of the class also known as operations are defined using methods /functions in java. Class made the distinction between the contract and implementation provides for its object. Contract defines what services, and implementation defines how these services are provided by the classes. Through classes, we can achieve the abstraction in java. Abstraction is one of the fundamental ways to handle the complexity. Abstraction denotes the essential properties and behaviours of an object.

Class syntax: class [className] { //Propeties of class by defining the variables in class , also called class //variables or instance variables ; //Behaviours of class by defining the methods in class , also called class //methods } Ex: Suppose we want to implement the student, so we create a student class having student_id and student_name as properties of the class and methods that set the student_id and student_name and methods that return the student_id and student_name on request. class student { private int std_id; private String std_name; void setStdid(int stdid) {

2.2 Objects An objects is an instance of the class . Objects are something that have real existence . Classes without objects are not worth creating . Objects are the handler for accessing the class data members and member functions. An object must be explicitly created before it can be used in a program In java , objects are manipulated through object references.

Process of creating object in java involves

1. Declaration of reference variable [Class name] [reference variable name]; For Ex: Student st; Here Student is a class that is used to denote the student entity and st is the references of the student class . 2. Creating an Object: Object creation in java involves the new operator. Syntax: [Reference variable of class] = new [ClassName]; Ex: st=new Student(); new returns a reference to a new instance of the student class . which is assigned to the st reference variable. Now using the st reference variable , we can access the student class. Note: In general , Object provides a handlers for the class , handler is used to access the variables and methods in a class . We can also combine the a and b step. For Ex: Student st = new Student();

Class members are access by using the object of the class with the dot operator (.), followed by the variable or method name . Static variables and methods can also be called without using object name . Static member can

access either object name or class name followed by the variable name and method name , concatenated using dot operator . Non static variable and functions can be access by object of the class followed by the variable and method name concatenate with the dot operator. 2.5 Method Overloading : Each method has a signature , which is comprised of the name of the method and return type and number of the parameters in the argument list. Method overloading allows a method with the same name with different parameters , thus with different signature. Method Overloading is a concept through which we can define more then one method with the same name in a class, but these methods must have different types of input arguments. Input arguments of methods can be differ according to 1. Order of input arguments : Order of input arguments means that the method should have argument that differ according to the order, in which it appears in the function . Suppose if we create two methods with the same name called max in a class, first method takes float as first argument and integer as second argument, and the second function takes integer as first argument and float as second argument. 2. Type of input arguments : Type of input arguments means that methods should have different type of input arguments as shown in the diagram.

3. Number of input arguments

Note: Methods with same name and same argument ,but different return type in a class are not overloaded methods. 2.6 Constructors The main purpose of constructor is to set the initial state of an object when the object is created using the new operator 1. Constructor is a special function , special means , we never calls it , system calls it when we create an object of the class 2. Constructor name must be same as class name with no return type .For Example , if our class name is student , then constructor name is also student. class Student { int studid; Student() // constructor of student class { System.out.print(This is constructor of student class); } } 3. Constructor is used to set the initial value of object with their defaults values . 4. There are two types of constructor , default constructor and parameterized constructor , constructor with no input arguments are called default constructor , constructor with the input arguments are called parameterized constructor. 5. By default , if we dont write any constructor , then java provides us a default constructor with empty body which initialize the state of object with default vales.
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :40

6. If we write any constructor, either default or parameterized then java dont provide us a default constructor. 7. Modifiers other than Access modifiers are not permitted . 8. Constructor can used not to create an object of the class 9. Constructor can used to create an object conditionally. 10. Constructor overloading is possible. 2.7 Nested and Inner class : A class that is declared within another class or interface, is called a nested class. Similarly, an interface that is declared within another class or interface, is called a nested interface. A top-level class or a top-level interface is one that is not nested. In addition to the top-level classes and interfaces, there are four categories of nested classes and one of nested interfaces, defined by the context these classes and interfaces are declared in:

static member classes and interfaces non-static member classes local classes anonymous classes

The last three categories are collectively known as inner classes. They differ from non-inner classes in one important aspect: that an instance of an inner class may be associated with an instance of the enclosing class. The instance of the enclosing class is called the immediately enclosing instance. An instance of an inner class can access the members of its immediately enclosing instance by their simple name. A static member class or interface is defined as a static member in a class or an interface. Such a nested class can be instantiated like any ordinary toplevel class, using its full name. No enclosing instance is required to instantiate a static member class. Note that there are no non-static member, local, or anonymous interfaces. Interfaces are always defined either at the top level or as static members. Non-static member classes are defined as instance members of other classes, just like fields and instance methods are defined in a class. An instance of a non-static member class always has an enclosing instance associated with it. Local classes can be defined in the context of a block as in a method body or a local block, just as local variables can be defined in a method body or a local block. Anonymous classes can be defined as expressions and instantiated on the fly. An instance of a local (or an anonymous) class has an enclosing instance

associated with it, if the local (or anonymous) class is declared in a nonstatic context. A nested class or interface cannot have the same name as any of its enclosing classes or interfaces 2.8 Inheritance: Inheritance is required because we need two things. 1 Extensibility 2 Substitutability. 3 Reusability. Inheritance. 1. Inheritance in English means you should get something from the other person. 2 . In terms of Programming , It is not about only getting something from the other person but also getting something exclusive to you. Meaning of you in object oriented terminology is sub class object. in inheritance, we should never talk about parent and child, because then there is never ending story. class class class class A B extends A // we tell B is inheriting from A C extends B // C is inheriting from B D extends C // D is inheriting from C

A is a parent (stupid word) B is a child class ( stupid word) why stupid, what is relationship between C and A. A is the base class for B, C and D. and not only for B. A is the super class for B, C and D. and not only for B. is D a subclass of C, B and A, answer is Yes is D a derived of C, B and A, answer is Yes What is Extensibility 1. when we add a new feature into the super class, without making any changes in the Sub class ,the sub class object is able to access the new feature added in the super class. Example One day, customer comes tells in Employee class you need to add deptid, we will add deptid into employee class, provide the necessary functions. Then without making any changes in the SE class, SE object, will access the deptid feature of Employee this is called extensibility. we can access feature

of the super class directly by the subclass object. when we talk about inheritance the day we forget subclass object, we are dead in inheritance. Substitutability Substitute means you dont get what you were actually told you will get. in real life, we like generalizing things. about we have always deal with specializations. Generalization - super class Specialization - subclass. Subclasses can always be generalized through a super class. coding addicts what is substitutability Base class pointer can be assigned with either a base class object or a derived class object. this is called substitutability, get it without using Inheritance, no you wont get it. 2.9 Method Overriding if we want to add some functionality in the super class method or if we want that the functionality provided by super class is not what we want in sub class , then we override the method prototype in the sub class and add the additional functionality in that method in the subclass . So method overriding is a concept through which we can hide the functionality of the super class from the sub class object . Function calling is dependent on the type of object , not on the type of references. So we create an object of the sub class , and through this object , if we call the overrided method, then its sub class method that is called , not super class method.

In the diagram , arrow 1 shows that the display function of the sub class is called when we access it by declaring object as : Sub s = new Sub(); In above object creation , object of Sub class is created and this object are handled by the Sub class reference . Class left to the = sign , shows the type of reference and class afer the = shows the type of the object. Arrow 2 in the diagram shows that display function of super class will call if we create object as : Super s1 = new Super(); As object is of type super class it calls the super class display function . Arrow 3 shows that display function of the sub class is called , because the object is of type sub , which is handled by super class reference , thanks to substitutability feature of inheritance , because a sub class object can be assigned either super class reference or sub class reference. Super s2= new Sub(); 2.10 Difference between Method overloading and overriding 1 Method Overloading If we create more than one function with the same name in a class then this concept is called method overloading , but compiler can differentiate through these functions according to a. Number of input arguments b. Type of inputs arguments c. Order of input arguments Method overloading is done within the single class , means if we create two functions with the same name in different class , then it is not method overloading There is no dependency on the return value of the function Method Overriding If we create a function in sub class that is similar in the super class , then this concept is called method overriding. Compiler is not able to differentiate these functions while calling Method overriding is done in inheritance scenario only .means there should be super sub relationship between classes. Dependency on the return value also , means return value also same in super and sub class methods. Function overriding is a concept through which we can change or add the functionality in the super class method run time

2.11 Final with Inheritance : A final variable is a constant, despite being called a variable. Its value cannot be changed once it has been initialized. This applies to instance, static and local variables, including parameters that are declared final.

A final variable of a primitive data type cannot change its value once it has been initialized. A final variable of a reference type cannot change its reference value once it has been initialized, but the state of the object it denotes can still be changed.

These variables are also known as blank final variables. Final static variables are commonly used to define manifest constants (also called named constants), for example Integer.MAX_VALUE, which is the maximum int value. Variables defined in an interface are implicitly final . Note that a final variable need not be initialized at its declaration, but it must be initialized once before it is used. A final method in a class is complete (i.e., has an implementation) and cannot be overridden in any subclass. Subclasses are then restricted in changing the behavior of the method. Final variables ensure that values cannot be changed, and final methods ensure that behavior cannot be changed. A Final class is a complete class and connot be inherited in other class. So by making a class final , we can restrict the inheritance of that class . For Ex: String class in java.lang package is final class , in our class we cant inherit String class . Final Variable : Initialized only once before its use Final Method : cannot be overrided in the subclasses Final Class : cannot be inherited in other class 2.12 Abstract : Abstract method in a class means that it is not provided what the function do in class , but the body of method is implemented in the sub class , so declaring a method abstract means that overriding of such method is compulsory. Abstract Class means that it is necessary to inherit such class , if we forget it , then it is compile time error. Abstract keyword have reverse functionality from final keyword.

Chapter 3 : Array, Packages and Interfaces , String handling 3.1 Arrays: An array is a data structure that defines an indexed collection of a fixed number of homogeneous data elements. This means that all elements in the array have the same data type. A position in the array is indicated by a nonnegative integer value called the index. An element at a given position in the array is accessed using the index. The size of an array is fixed and cannot increase to accommodate more elements. In Java, arrays are objects. Arrays can be of primitive data types or reference types. In the former case, all elements in the array are of a specific primitive data type. In the latter case, all elements are references of a specific reference type. References in the array can then denote objects of this reference type or its subtypes. Each array object has a final field called length, which specifies the array size, that is, the number of elements the array can accommodate. The first element is always at index 0 and the last element at index n-1, where n is the value of the length field in the array. Simple arrays are one-dimensional arrays, that is, a simple sequence of values. Since arrays can store object references, the objects referenced can also be array objects. This allows implementation of array of arrays. Declaring Array Variables An array variable declaration has either the following syntax: <element type>[] <array name>; Or <element type> <array name>[]; where <element type> can be a primitive data type or a reference type. The array variable <array name> has the type <element type>[]. Note that the array size is not specified. This means that the array variable <array name> can be assigned an array of any length, as long as its elements have <element type>. It is important to understand that the declaration does not actually create an array. It only declares a reference that can denote an array object. int anIntArray[], oneInteger; Pizza[] mediumPizzas, largePizzas; These two declarations declare anIntArray and mediumPizzas to be reference variables that can denote arrays of int values and arrays of Pizza objects, respectively. The variable largePizzas can denote an array of pizzas, but the

variable oneInteger cannot denote an array of int valuesit is simply an int variable. When the [] notation follows the type, all variables in the declaration are arrays. Otherwise the [] notation must follow each individual array name in the declaration. An array variable that is declared as a member of a class, but is not initialized to denote an array, will be initialized to the default reference value null. This default initialization does not apply to local reference variables and, therefore, does not apply to local array variables . Constructing an Array An array can be constructed for a specific number of elements of the element type, using the new operator. The resulting array reference can be assigned to an array variable of the corresponding type. <array name> = new <element type> [<array size>]; The minimum value of <array size> is 0 (i.e., arrays with zero elements can be constructed in Java). If the array size is negative, a NegativeArraySizeException is thrown. Given the following array declarations: int anIntArray[], oneInteger; Pizza[] mediumPizzas, largePizzas; the arrays can be constructed as follows: anIntArray = new int[10]; mediumPizzas = new Pizza[5]; largePizzas = new Pizza[3]; // array for 10 integers // array of 5 pizzas // array of 3 pizzas

The array declaration and construction can be combined. <element type1>[] <array name> = new <element type2>[<array size>]; However, here array type <element type2>[] must be assignable to array type <element type1>[] .When the array is constructed, all its elements are initialized to the default value for <element type2>. This is true for both member and local arrays when they are constructed. In all the examples below, the code constructs the array and the array elements are implicitly initialized to their default value. For example, the element at index 2 in array anIntArray gets the value 0, and the element at index 3 in array mediumPizzas gets the value null when the arrays are constructed.

int[] anIntArray = new int[10]; Pizza[] mediumPizzas = new Pizza[5]; // Pizza class extends Object class Object objArray = new Pizza[3];

// Default element value: 0. // Default element value: null. // Default element value: null.

// Pizza class implements Eatable interface Eatable[] eatables = new Pizza[2]; // Default element value: null. The value of the field length in each array is set to the number of elements specified during the construction of the array; for example, medium Pizzas.length has the value 5. Once an array has been constructed, its elements can also be explicitly initialized individually; for example, in a loop. Examples in the rest of this section make heavy use of a loop to traverse through the elements of an array for various purposes. Initializing an Array Java provides the means of declaring, constructing, and explicitly initializing an array in one declaration statement: <element type>[] <array name> = { <array initialize list> }; This form of initialization applies to member as well as local arrays. The <array initialize list> is a comma-separated list of zero or more expressions. Such an array initialization block results in the construction and initialization of the array. int[] anIntArray = {1, 3, 49, 2, 6, 7, 15, 2, 1, 5}; The array anIntArray is declared as an array of ints. It is constructed to hold 10 elements (equal to the length of the list of expressions in the block), where the first element is initialized to the value of the first expression (1), the second element to the value of the second expression (3), and so on. // Pizza class extends Object class Object[] objArray = { new Pizza(), new Pizza(), null }; The array objArray is declared as an array of the Object class, constructed to hold three elements. The initialization code sets the first two elements of the array to refer to two Pizza objects, while the last element is initialized to the null reference. Note that the number of objects created in the above declaration statement is actually three: the array object with three references and the two Pizza objects.

The expressions in the <array initialize list> are evaluated from left to right, and the array name obviously cannot occur in any of the expressions in the list. In the examples above, the <array initialize list> is terminated by the right curly bracket , }, of the block. The list can also be legally terminated by a comma. The following array has length two, not three: Topping[] pizzaToppings = { new Topping("cheese"), new Topping("tomato"), }; Using an Array The whole array is referenced by the array name, but individual array elements are accessed by specifying an index with the [] operator. The array element access expression has the following syntax: <array name> [<index expression>] Each individual element is treated as a simple variable of the element type. The index is specified by the <index expression>, which can be any expression that evaluates to an non-negative int value. Since the lower bound of an array is always 0, the upper bound is one less than the array size, that is, (<array name>.length-1). The ith element in the array has index (i-1). At runtime, the index value is automatically checked to ensure that it is within the array index bounds. If the index value is less than 0 or greater than or equal to <array name>.length in an array element access expression, an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown. 3.2 Anonymous Arrays As shown earlier in this section, the following declaration statement <element type1>[] <array name> = new <element type2>[<array size>]; // (1) int[] intArray = new int[5]; can be used to construct arrays using an array creation expression. The size of the array is specified in the array creation expression, which creates the array and initializes the array elements to their default values. On the other hand, the following declaration statement <element type>[] <array name> = int[] intArray = {3, 5, 2, 8, 6}; { <array initialize list> }; // (2)

both creates the array and initializes the array elements to specific values given in the array initializer block. However, the array initialization block is not an expression. Java has another array creation expression, called anonymous array, which allows the concept of the array creation expression from (1) and the array initializer block from (2) to be combined, to create and initialize an array object:
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :49

new <element type>[] new int[] {3, 5, 2, 8, 6}

{ <array initialize list> }

The construct has enough information to create a nameless array of a specific type. Neither the name of the array nor the size of the array is specified. The construct returns an array reference that can be assigned and passed as parameter. In particular, the following two examples of declaration statements are equivalent. int[] intArray = {3, 5, 2, 8, 6}; // (1) int[] intArray = new int[] {3, 5, 2, 8, 6}; // (2) In (1), an array initializer block is used to create and initialize the elements. In (2), an anonymous array expression is used. It is tempting to use the array initialization block as an expression; for example, in an assignment statement as a short cut for assigning values to array elements in one go. However, this is illegalinstead, an anonymous array expression should be used. int[] daysInMonth; daysInMonth = {31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}; // Not ok. daysInMonth = new int[] {31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}; // ok. 3.3 Multidimensional Arrays Since an array element can be an object reference and arrays are objects, array elements can themselves reference other arrays. In Java, an array of arrays can be defined as follows: <element type>[][]...[] <array name>;or <element type> <array name>[][]...[]; In fact, the sequence of square bracket pairs, [], indicating the number of dimensions, can be distributed as a postfix to both the element type and the array name. Arrays of arrays are also sometimes called multidimensional arrays. The following declarations are all equivalent: int[][] mXnArray; // 2-dimensional array int[] mXnArray[]; // 2-dimensional array int mXnArray[][]; // 2-dimensional array It is customary to combine the declaration with the construction of the multidimensional array.
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :50

int[][] mXnArray = new int[4][5];

// 4 x 5 matrix of ints

The previous declaration constructs an array mXnArray of four elements, where each element is an array (row) of 5 int values. The concept of rows and columns is often used to describe the dimensions of a 2-dimensional array, which is often called a matrix. However, such an interpretation is not dictated by the Java language. Multidimensional arrays can also be constructed and explicitly initialized using array initializer blocks discussed for simple arrays. Note that each row is an array which uses an array initializer block to specify its values: double[][] identityMatrix = { {1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 }, // 1. row {0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0 }, // 2. row {0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0 }, // 3. row {0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 } // 4. row }; // 4 x 4 Floating-point matrix 3.4 Packages 1. Packages are used to group related classes, interfaces and sub packages. 2. Packages are used to avoid naming collision. 3. Defining package package [package name ]; 4. Dot operator is used to uniquely identify packages members . Suppose if we declare package as package com.practice.demoprograms ; then it creates a folder demoprograms which is inside the practice folder , which is inside com folder. 5. If we want to use functions from others packages then we have two ways for using it a. Import that package in our class using import keyword . import [package name which we want to import]; b. Use full qualified name for the class Suppose we want to acces Date class from java.util package , then we have to write java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date(); It will create the object of date class and by this object , we access the Date class functions.

6. All java inbuild packages names start with either java or javax. So it is advisable not to start a package name with the java or javax. 7. Access modifiers plays an important role while importing a function\class from package , means if our class/ function is declared private in other class , then it is not possible to use it . Refer to access modifiers topic for more discussion. 3.5 Concept of CLASSPATH Where to look? The Java runtime system needs to know where to find programs that you want to run and libraries that are needed. It knows where the predefined Java packages are, but if you are using additional packages, you must tell specify where they are located.

Classpath is environment variable which is used to specify the path where from the java interpreter searches for the file whose name is specified with java keyword. For example C:/>set classpath=d: After writing it press ENTER. Now if we write following command.

C:/>java Hello Now the interpreter will search this file Hello in directory D:/ Advantages of Classpath:1. Using classpath variable largest path can be written once but can be used multiple times. 2. Using classpath we can clearly specify where from to search the required file in computer. 3. Classpath is much useful in Packages. Setting classpath in windows The CLASSPATH variable can be set on Windows XP with the following steps.

Click the Start button in the lower left of the screen. Select Control Panel from the pop-up menu. Choose System from the submenu. Click the Advanced tab.

Click the Environment Variables button near the bottom and you will see two lists of variables. Look in the System variables list for a variable named CLASSPATH. If you find it, click Edit. If you don't find it, click New and enter CLASSPATH in the Variable name field. The Variable value field is a list of file paths of directories or jar files. The first thing in this list should be the current directory, which is represented in windows just as it is in Unix, as a single period. If there's more than one thing in this list, separate items with a semicolon. For example, my CLASSPATH variable starts with these three items (there are a couple more, but this should be enough to give you the idea). The only part you need is the first "dot".

3.6 Access Modifier or Visibility control : Java has four access levels and three access modifiers. There are only three modifiers because the default (what you get when you don't use any access modifier) is one of the four access levels. Access Levels (in order of how restrictive they are, from least to most restrictive)

public Use public for classes, constants (static final variables) , and methods that you're exposing to other code (for example getters and setters) and most constructors. private Use private for virtually all instance variables, and for methods that you don't want outside code to call (in other words, methods used by the public methods of your class). But although you might not use the other two (protected and default), you still need to know what they do because you'll see them in other code. default

Both protected and default access levels are tied to packages. Default access is simple-it means that only code within the samepackage can access code with default access. So a default class, for example can be accessed by only classes within the same package as the default class. protected Protected access is almost identical to default access, with one exception: it allows subclasses to inherit the protected thing, even if those subclasses are outside the package of the super-class they extend: That's it. That's all protected buys you-the ability to let your subclasses be outside your superclass package, yet still inherit pieces of the class, including methods and constructors. 3.7 Using other package in class : There are two ways to used different classes from different package in our class . a. By using the fully qualified name : Using fully qualified name is a tedious thing to do if we want to used a class from different package many times . In fully qualified name , before using the class from different package , we have to mention the name of the package before the class and each subfolder is differentiate through dot(.) operator . For Example , if we want to use JOptionPane class in our class , then we have to write like : String s = javax.swing.JOptionPane.showInputDialog(enter the string value); this is tedious activity to used package because writing such a big package name always makes our code more errorous and more typing effort we have to put while coding . b. Import the required package : class from different Package which we want to used in our class , requires to import the package in our class . By importing a required class , we can used such class without its fully qualified name . There are two formats for importing classes for importing whole package import javax.swing.*; for importing specific class import javax.swing.JOptionPane; Note : import statements should be the after package declaration statement , or if there is no package declaration statements then it should comes before class declaration .

3.8 Interfaces Extending classes using single implementation inheritance creates new class types. A super class reference can denote objects of its own type and its subclasses strictly according to the inheritance hierarchy. Because this relationship is linear, it rules out multiple implementation inheritance, that is, a subclass inheriting from more than one super class. Instead Java provides interfaces, which not only allow new named reference types to be introduced, but also permit multiple interface inheritance. Defining Interfaces A top-level interface

has

the

following

general Interface

syntax: header body

<accessibility modifier> interface <interface name> <extends interface clause> // { // Interface <constant declarations> <method prototype declarations> <nested class declarations> <nested interface declarations> }

In the interface header, the name of the interface is preceded by the keyword interface. In addition, the interface header can specify the following information:

scope or accessibility modifier any interfaces it extends

The interface body can contain member declarations which comprise

constant declarations method prototype declarations

An interface does not provide any implementation and is, therefore, abstract by definition. This means that it cannot be instantiated, but classes can implement it by providing implementations for its method prototypes. Declaring an interface abstract is superfluous and seldom done. The member declarations can appear in any order in the interface body. Since interfaces are meant to be implemented by classes, interface members implicitly have public accessibility and the public modifier is omitted. Interfaces with empty bodies are often used as markers to tag classes as having a certain property or behavior. Such interfaces are also called ability interfaces. Java APIs provide several examples of such marker interfaces: java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable, java.util.EventListener.

Method Prototype Declarations An interface defines a contract by specifying a set of method prototypes, but no implementation. The methods in an interface are all implicitly abstract and public by virtue of their definition. A method prototype has the same syntax as an abstract method . However, only the modifiers abstract and public are allowed, but these are invariably omitted. <return type> <method name> (<parameter list>) <throws clause>; Implementing Interfaces Any class can elect to implement, wholly or partially, zero or more interfaces. A class specifies the interfaces it implements as a commaseparated list of unique interface names in an implements clause in the class header. The interface methods must all have public accessibility when implemented in the class (or its subclasses). A class can neither narrow the accessibility of an interface method nor specify new exceptions in the method's throws clause, as attempting to do so would amount to altering the interface's contract, which is illegal. The criteria for overriding methods also apply when implementing interface methods. A class can provide implementations of methods declared in an interface, but it does not reap the benefits of interfaces unless the interface name is explicitly specified in its implements clause. Extending Interfaces An interface can extend other interfaces, using the extends clause. Unlike extending classes, an interface can extend several interfaces. The interfaces extended by an interface (directly or indirectly), are called superinterfaces. Conversely, the interface is a subinterface of its superinterfaces. Since interfaces define new reference types, superinterfaces and subinterfaces are also supertypes and subtypes, respectively. A subinterface inherits all methods from its superinterfaces, as their method declarations are all implicitly public. A subinterface can override method prototype declarations from its superinterfaces. Overridden methods are not inherited. Method prototype declarations can also be overloaded, analogous to method overloading in classes. Constants in Interfaces An interface can also define named constants. Such constants are defined by field declarations and are considered to be public, static and final. These modifiers are usually omitted from the declaration. Such a constant must be initialized with an initializer expression . An interface constant can be accessed by any client (a class or interface) using its fully qualified name, regardless of whether the client extends or
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :56

implements its interface. However, if a client is a class that implements this interface or an interface that extends this interface, then the client can also access such constants directly without using the fully qualified name. Such a client inherits the interface constants. Extending an interface that has constants is analogous to extending a class having static variables. In particular, these constants can be hidden by the subinterfaces. In the case of multiple inheritance of interface constants, any name conflicts can be resolved using fully qualified names for the constants involved. Example 6.10 Variables in Interfaces interface Constants { double PI_APPROXIMATION = 3.14; String AREA_UNITS = " sq.cm."; String LENGTH_UNITS = " cm."; } public class Client implements Constants { public static void main(String[] args) { double radius = 1.5; System.out.println("Area of circle is " + (PI_APPROXIMATION*radius*radius) + AREA_UNITS); // (1) Direct access. System.out.println("Circumference of circle is " + (2*Constants.PI_APPROXIMATION*radius) + Constants.LENGTH_UNITS); // (2) Fully qualified name. } } Output from the program: Area of circle is 7.0649999999999995 sq.cm. Circumference of circle is 9.42 cm. 3.9 String Handling The String class is defined in the java.lang package and hence is implicitly available to all the programs in Java. The String class is declared as final, which means that it cannot be subclassed. It extends the Object class and implements the Serializable, Comparable, and CharSequence interfaces. Java implements strings as objects of type String. A string is a sequence of characters. Unlike most of the other languages, Java treats a string as a single value rather than as an array of characters.

The String objects are immutable, i.e., once an object of the String class is created, the string it contains cannot be changed. In other words, once a String object is created, the characters that comprise the string cannot be changed. Whenever any operation is performed on a String object, a new String object will be created while the original contents of the object will remain unchanged. However, at any time, a variable declared as a String reference can be changed to point to some other String object. 3.10 Constructors defined in the String class The String class defines several constructors. The most common constructor of the String class is the one given below: public String(String value) This constructor constructs a new String object initialized with the same sequence of the characters passed as the argument. In other words, the newly created String object is the copy of the string passed as an argument to the constructor. Other constructors defined in the String class are as follows: public String() This constructor creates an empty String object. However, the use of this constructor is unnecessary because String objects are immutable. public String(char[] value) This constructor creates a new String object initialized with the same sequence of characters currently contained in the array that is passed as the argument to it. public String(char[] value, int startindex, int len) This constructor creates a new String object initialized with the same sequence of characters currently contained in the subarray. This subarray is derived from the character array and the two integer values that are passed as arguments to the constructor. The int variable startindex represents the index value of the starting character of the subarray, and the int variable len represents the number of characters to be used to form the new String object. public String(StringBuffer sbf) This constructor creates a new String object that contains the same sequence of characters currently contained in the string buffer argument. public String(byte[] asciichars)
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :58

The array of bytes that is passed as an argument to the constructor contains the ASCII character set. Therefore, this array of bytes is first decoded using the default charset of the platform. Then the constructor creates a new String object initialized with same sequence of characters obtained after decoding the array. public String(byte[] asciiChars, int startindex, int len) This constructor creates the String object after decoding the array of bytes and by using the subarray of bytes. 3.11 Special String Operations Finding the length of string The String class defines the length() method that determines the length of a string. The length of a string is the number of characters contained in the string. The signature of the length() method is given below: public int length() String Concatenation using the + operator The + operator is used to concatenate two strings, producing a new String object as the result. For example, String sale = "500"; String s = "Our daily sale is" + sale + "dollars"; System.out.println(s); This code will display the string "Our daily sale is 500 dollars". The + operator may also be used to concatenate a string with other data types. For example, int sale = 500; String s = "Our daily sale is" + sale + "dollars"; System.out.println(s); This code will display the string "Our daily sale is 500 dollars". In this case, the variable sale is declared as int rather than String, but the output produced is the same. This is because the int value

contained in the variable sale is automatically converted to String type, and then the + operator concatenates the two strings. Character Extraction Functions The String class provides a number of ways in which characters can be extracted from a String object. Each is examined here. Although the characters that comprise a string within a String object cannot be indexed as if they were a character array, many of the String methods employ an index (or offset) into the string for their operation. Like arrays, the string indexes begin at zero. charAt( ) To extract a single character from a String, you can refer directly to an individual character via the charAt( ) method. It has this general form: char charAt(int where) Here, where is the index of the character that you want to obtain. The value of where must be nonnegative and specify a location within the string. charAt( ) returns the character at the specified location. For example, char ch; String s=java solutions; ch= s.charAt(3); assigns the value "a" to ch. getChars( ) If you need to extract more than one character at a time, you can use the getChars( ) method. It has this general form: void getChars(int sourceStart, int sourceEnd, char target[ ], int targetStart) Here, sourceStart specifies the index of the beginning of the substring, and sourceEnd specifies an index that is one past the end of the desired substring. Thus, the substring contains the characters from sourceStart through sourceEnd1. The array that will receive the characters is specified by target. The index within target at which the substring will be copied is passed in targetStart. Care must be taken to assure that the target array is large enough to hold the number of characters in the specified substring. The following program demonstrates getChars( ): class getCharsDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { String s = "This is a demo of the getChars method."; int start = 10; int end = 14;
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :60

char buf[] = new char[end - start]; s.getChars(start, end, buf, 0); System.out.println(buf); } } Here is the output of this program: demo getBytes( ) There is an alternative to getChars( ) that stores the characters in an array of bytes. This method is called getBytes( ), and it uses the default characterto-byte conversions provided by the platform. Here is its simplest form: byte[ ] getBytes( ) Other forms of getBytes( ) are also available. getBytes( ) is most useful when you are exporting a String value into an environment that does not support 16-bit Unicode characters. For example, most Internet protocols and text file formats use 8-bit ASCII for all text interchange. toCharArray( ) If you want to convert all the characters in a String object into a character array, the easiest way is to call toCharArray( ). It returns an array of characters for the entire string. It has this general form: char[ ] toCharArray( ) This function is provided as a convenience, since it is possible to use getChars( ) to achieve the same result. String Comparison The String class defines various methods that are used to compare strings or substrings within strings. Each of them is discussed in the following sections: equals() : public boolean equals(Object str) The equals() method is used to check whether the Object that is passed as the argument to the method is equal to the String object that invokes the method. It returns true if and only if the argument is a String object that represents the same sequence of characters as represented by the invoking object. The signature of the equals() method is as follows:
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :61

equalsIgnoreCase() The equalsIgnoreCase() method is used to check the equality of the two String objects without taking into consideration the case of the characters contained in the two strings. It returns true if the two strings are of the same length and if the corresponding characters in the two strings are the same ignoring case. The signature of the equalsIgnoreCase() method is: public boolean equalsIgnoreCase(Object str) compareTo() The compareTo() method is used in conditions where a Programmer wants to sort a list of strings in a predetermined order. The compareTo() method checks whether the string passed as an argument to the method is less than, greater than, or equal to the invoking string. A string is considered less than another string if it comes before it in alphabetical order. The signature of the compareTo() method is as follows: public int compareTo(String str) where, str is the String being compared to the invoking String. The compareTo() method returns an int value as the result of String comparison. The meaning of these values are given in the following table: Value Meaning Less than zero The invoking string is less than the argument string. Zero The invoking string and the argument string are same. Greater than zero The invoking string is greater than the argument string. The String class also has the compareToIgnoreCase() method that compares two strings without taking into consideration their case difference. The signature of the method is given below: public int compareToIgnoreCase(String str) : Case Ignored regionMatches() The regionMatches() method is used to check the equality of two string regions where the two string regions belong to two different strings. The signature of the method is given below: public boolean regionMatches(int startindex, String str2, int startindex2, int len)

Mob:8290280309

Page Number :62

There is also an overloaded version of the method that tests the equality of the substring ignoring the case of characters in the substring. Its signature is given below: public boolean regionMatches(boolean String str2, int startindex2, int len) ignoreCase, int startindex,

In both signatures of the method, startindex specifies the starting index of the substring within the invoking string. The str2 argument specifies the string to be compared. The startindex2 specifies the starting index of the substring within the string to be compared. The len argument specifies the length of the substring being compared. However, in the latter signature of the method, the comparison is done ignoring the case of the characters in the substring only if the ignoreCase argument is true. startsWith() The startsWith() method is used to check whether the invoking string starts with the same sequence of characters as the substring passed as an argument to the method. The signature of the method is given below: public boolean startsWith(String prefix) There is also an overloaded version of the startsWith() method with the following signature: public boolean startsWith(String prefix, int startindex) In both signatures of the method given above, the prefix denotes the substring to be matched within the invoking string. However, in the second version, the startindex denotes the starting index into the invoking string at which the search operation will commence. endsWith() The endsWith() method is used to check whether the invoking string ends with the same sequence of characters as the substring passed as an argument to the method. The signature of the method is given below: public boolean endsWith(String prefix) Modifying a String The String objects are immutable. Therefore, it is not possible to change the original contents of a string. However, the following String methods can be used to create a new copy of the string with the required modification: substring() : The substring() method creates a new string that is the substring of the string that invokes the method. The method has two forms:
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :63

public String substring(int startindex) public String substring(int startindex, int endindex) where, startindex specifies the index at which the substring will begin and endindex specifies the index at which the substring will end. In the first form where the endindex is not present, the substring begins at startindex and runs till the end of the invoking string. Concat() The concat() method creates a new string after concatenating the argument string to the end of the invoking string. The signature of the method is given below: public String concat(String str) replace() The replace() method creates a new string after replacing all the occurrences of a particular character in the string with another character. The string that invokes this method remains unchanged. The general form of the method is given below: public String replace(char old_char, char new_char) trim() The trim() method creates a new copy of the string after removing any leading and trailing whitespace. The signature of the method is given below: public String trim(String str) toUpperCase() The toUpperCase() method creates a new copy of a string after converting all the lowercase letters in the invoking string to uppercase. The signature of the method is given below: public String toUpperCase() toLowerCase() The toLowerCase() method creates a new copy of a string after converting all the uppercase letters in the invoking string to lowercase. The signature of the method is given below: public String toLowerCase()

split() this method can split the string into the given format and will return the string in the form of string array. Actually, it is based on regex expression with some characters which have a special meaning in a regex expression. Searching Strings The String class defines two methods that facilitate in searching a particular character or sequence of characters in a string. They are as follows: IndexOf() The indexOf() method searches for the first occurrence of a character or a substring in the invoking string. If a match is found, then the method returns the index at which the character or the substring first appears. Otherwise, it returns -1. The indexOf() method has the following signatures: public int indexOf(int ch) public int indexOf(int ch, int startindex) public int indexOf(String str) public int indexOf(String str, int startindex) lastIndexOf() 3.12 String Buffer A string buffer implements a mutable sequence of characters. A string buffer is like a String, but can be modified. At any point in time it contains some particular sequence of characters, but the length and content of the sequence can be changed through certain method calls. String buffers are safe for use by multiple threads. The methods are synchronized where necessary so that all the operations on any particular instance behave as if they occur in some serial order that is consistent with the order of the method calls made by each of the individual threads involved. String buffers are used by the compiler to implement the binary string concatenation operator +. For example, the code: x = "a" + 4 + "c" is compiled to the equivalent of: x = new StringBuffer().append("a").append(4).append("c") .toString()

which creates a new string buffer (initially empty), appends the string representation of each operand to the string buffer in turn, and then converts the contents of the string buffer to a string. Overall, this avoids creating many temporary strings. The principal operations on a StringBuffer are the append and insert methods, which are overloaded so as to accept data of any type. Each effectively converts a given datum to a string and then appends or inserts the characters of that string to the string buffer. The append method always adds these characters at the end of the buffer; the insert method adds the characters at a specified point. For example, if z refers to a string buffer object whose current contents are "start", then the method call z.append("le") would cause the string buffer to contain "startle", whereas z.insert(4, "le") would alter the string buffer to contain "starlet". In general, if sb refers to an instance of a StringBuffer, then sb.append(x) has the same effect as sb.insert(sb.length(), x). Every string buffer has a capacity. As long as the length of the character sequence contained in the string buffer does not exceed the capacity, it is not necessary to allocate a new internal buffer array. If the internal buffer overflows, it is automatically made larger. 3.13 Vector Vectors are dynamic arrays which can extend or shrink when objects are added in the vector. Vector class is part of java.util package. Vector proves to be very useful if you don't know the size of the array in advance or you just need one that can change sizes over the lifetime of a program. Vector comes under the collection of java. Vectors are synchronized objects. The Vector class supports four constructors. The first form creates a default vector, which has an initial size of 10: Vector( ) The second form creates a vector whose initial capacity is specified by size: Vector(int size) The third form creates a vector whose initial capacity is specified by size and whose increment is specified by incr. The increment specifies the number of elements to allocate each time that a vector is resized upward: Vector(int size, int incr)

The fourth form creates a vector that contains the elements of collection c: Vector(Collection c)

Adding element in vector : void add(int index, Object element) Inserts the specified element at the specified position in this Vector. If Index value is not in the range of already added objects then it throws IndexOutOfBoundException. boolean add(Object o)

Appends the specified element to the end of this Vector. boolean addAll(Collection c) Appends all of the elements in the specified Collection to the end of this Vector, in the order that they are returned by the specified Collection's Iterator. boolean addAll(int index, Collection c) Inserts all of the elements in in the specified Collection into this Vector at the specified position. void addElement(Object obj) Adds the specified component to the end of this vector, increasing its size by one. Removing element from vector boolean removeAll(Collection c) Removes from this Vector all of its elements that are contained in the specified Collection. void removeAllElements() Removes all components from this vector and sets its size to zero.

boolean removeElement(Object obj) Removes the first (lowest-indexed) occurrence of the argument from this vector. void removeElementAt(int index) removeElementAt(int index) protected void removeRange(int fromIndex, int toIndex) Removes from this List all of the elements whose index is between fromIndex, inclusive and toIndex, exclusive. boolean remove(Object o) Removes the first occurrence of the specified element in this Vector If the Vector does not contain the element, it is unchanged.

Get Object from vector Object get(int index) Returns the element at the specified position in this Vector. int indexOf(Object elem) Searches for the first occurence of the given argument, testing for equality using the equals method. int indexOf(Object elem, int index) Searches for the first occurence of the given argument, beginning the search at index, and testing for equality using the equals method.

3.14 Wrapper Classes Java is an object-oriented language and as said everything in java is an object. But what about the primitives? They are sort of left out in the world of objects, that is, they cannot participate in the object activities, such as being returned from a method as an object, and being added to a Collection of objects, etc. . As a solution to this problem, Java allows you to include the primitives in the family of objects by using what are called wrapper classes. There is a wrapper class for every primitive date type in Java. This class encapsulates a single value for the primitive data type. For instance the wrapper class for int is Integer, for float is Float, and so on. Remember that the primitive name is simply the lowercase name of the wrapper except for char, which maps to Character, and int, which maps to Integer.
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :68

The wrapper classes in the Java API serve two primary purposes: To provide a mechanism to wrap primitive values in an object so that the primitives can be included in activities reserved for objects, like as being added to Collections, or returned from a method with an object return value. To provide an assortment of utility functions for primitives. Most of these functions are related to various conversions: converting primitives to and from String objects, and converting primitives and String objects to and from different bases (or radix), such as binary, octal, and hexadecimal.

Chapter 4 : Concurrency and Applet 4.1 Multitasking : Multitasking allows us to perform more than one activities concurrently. We can acheive multitasking by using Multiprocessing Multithreading

At the coarse grain , there is Multiprocessing (process based multitasking) which allows process to run concurrently on the computer , where each process has its own memory , and in a single processor enviournment, switching between processes requires the current running process to save its state in its process table , this switching is called context switching . So Multi processing exists between two application . At the fine grain level , there is multithreading which allows part of the same program to run concurrently on the computer , a separate path of execution is used to run different parts of the same application , these separate path of execution in process is called threads which are independent of each others . For Example , in a word processor , during printing of some pages , printing and formatting are done simuntenouly. Java supports multithreading . 4.2 Threads : Threads is a path of execution within a program that shares code and data among other threads , thats why threads are called light weighted process .In java , there are two types of threads Daemon threads or system defined threads User defined threads

Threads which is created by the system is called daemon threads which are used to create user defined threads means all the user defined threads are spawned from Daemon threads . Whenever all the user defined threads are executing in a program, your program didnt terminate . We can set the state of threads by defining it as daemon or user defined threads, setDaemon(Boolean value) is used to change the status of the thread.

4.3 Creating Threads Threads can be created using Implements the java.lang.Runnable interface Extending the java.lang.Thread class

Implementing the Runnable interface : Runable interface have the following specification. public interface Runable { public void run(); } Procedure for creating threads based on the runnable interface is as follows: 1. A class implements the Runnable interface provides the run() method which will be executed by the threads. 2. An Object of the thread class is created. An object of a class implementing the Runnable interface is passed as an argument to a constructor of the thread class. 3. The start() method is invoked on the thread object created in the previous step. And write the functionality which thread do inside run method. Creation of thread using Runnable interface

The following is a summary of important constructors and methods from the java.lang.Thread class: Thread(Runnable threadTarget) Thread(Runnable threadTarget, String threadName)
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :71

The argument threadTarget is the object whose run() method will be executed when the thread is started. The argument threadName can be specified to give an explicit name for the thread, rather than an automatically generated one. A thread's name can be retrieved by using the getName() method. static Thread currentThread() This method returns a reference to the Thread object of the currently executing thread. final String getName() final void setName(String name) The first method returns the name of the thread. The second one sets the thread's name to the argument. Implementing the Runnable Interface Example class Counter implements Runnable { // variables declaration private int currentValue; private Thread worker; // constructor of the counter class public Counter(String threadName) { currentValue = 0; worker = new Thread(this, threadName); // (1) Create a new thread. System.out.println(worker); worker.start(); // (2) Start the thread. } public int getValue() { return currentValue; } public void run() { // (3) Thread entry point try { while (currentValue < 5) { System.out.println(worker.getName() + ": " + (currentValue++)); Thread.sleep(250); // (4) Current thread sleeps. } } catch (InterruptedException e) { System.out.println(worker.getName() + " interrupted."); } System.out.println("Exit from thread: " + worker.getName());
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :72

public class Client { public static void main(String[] args) { Counter counterA = new Counter("Counter A"); // (5) Create a thread. try { int val; do { val = counterA.getValue(); // (6) Access the counter value. System.out.println("Counter value read by main thread: " + val); Thread.sleep(1000); // (7) Current thread sleeps. } while (val < 5); } catch (InterruptedException e) { System.out.println("main thread interrupted."); } } } Possible output from the program: Thread[Counter A,5,main] Counter value read by main thread: 0 Counter A: 0 Counter A: 1 Counter A: 2 Counter A: 3 Counter value read by main thread: 4 Counter A: 4 Exit from thread: Counter A Counter value read by main thread: 5 Exit from main() method. System.out.println("Exit from main() method.");

The Client class uses the Counter class. It creates an object of class Counter at (5) and retrieves its value in a loop at (6). After each retrieval, it sleeps for 1,000 milliseconds at (7), allowing other threads to run. Extending the Thread Class A class can also extend the Thread class to create a thread. A typical procedure for doing this is as follows : 1. A class extending the Thread class overrides the run() method from the Thread class to define the code executed by the thread.
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :73

2. This subclass may call a Thread constructor explicitly in its constructors to initialize the thread, using the super() call. 3. The start() method inherited from the Thread class is invoked on the object of the class to make the thread eligible for running.

the Counter class from Example has been modified to illustrate extending the Thread class. Note the call to the constructor of the superclass Thread at (1) and the invocation of the inherited start() method at (2) in the constructor of the Counter class. The program output shows that the Client class creates two threads and exits, but the program continues running until the child threads have completed. The two child threads are independent, each having its own counter and executing its own run() method. Extending the Thread Class class Counter extends Thread { private int currentValue; public Counter(String threadName) { super(threadName); // (1) Initialize thread. currentValue = 0; System.out.println(this); start(); // (2) Start this thread. } public int getValue() { return currentValue; } public void run() { try { while (currentValue < 5) {
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :74

// (3) Override from superclass.

System.out.println(getName() + ": " + (currentValue++)); Thread.sleep(250); // (4) Current thread sleeps. } } catch (InterruptedException e) { System.out.println(getName() + " interrupted."); } System.out.println("Exit from thread: " + getName()); } }

public class Client { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Method main() runs in thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName()); // (5) Current thread Counter counterA = new Counter("Counter A"); // (6) Create a thread. thread. } } Possible output from the program: Method main() runs in thread main Thread[Counter A,5,main] Thread[Counter B,5,main] Exit from main() method. Counter A: 0 Counter B: 0 Counter A: 1 Counter B: 1 Counter A: 2 Counter B: 2 Counter A: 3 Counter B: 3 Counter A: 4 Counter B: 4 Exit from thread: Counter A Exit from thread: Counter B Counter counterB = new Counter("Counter B"); // (7) Create a

System.out.println("Exit from main() method.");

When creating threads, there are two reasons why implementing the Runnable interface may be preferable to extending the Thread class:

Mob:8290280309

Extending the Thread class means that the subclass cannot extend any other class, whereas a class implementing the Runnable interface has this option. A class might only be interested in being runnable, and therefore, inheriting the full overhead of the Thread class would be excessive.

4.4 Synchronization : Threads shares the same memory and resources . However, there are situations where it is desirable that only one thread at a time to access the shared resources. Foe Example, creditng and debiting a shared bank account concurrently amongst several users without proper discipline will endanger the integrity of data , so in that scenario , we are forcing that only one thread have access the shared resources . This synchronization can be achieved by using 1. Synchronized Methods 2. Synchronized Blocks Synchronized Methods: If the method of an object should be executed by one thread at a time , then the definitions of such methods should be modified with the keyword synchronized. While a thread is in the synchronized method of an object, all other threads that wish to execute this synchronized method or any other synchronized method of the object will have to wait. This restriction doesnt apply to the thread that already in the synchronized method of the object and such a method can invoke other synchronized methods of the object without being blocked. Synchronized blocks Whereas synchronized Methods of a class are synchronized on the monitor of an object of the class , the synchronized blocks allows the arbitrary code to be synchronizes on the monitor of an arbitrary objects. The general form of synchronized blocks are Synchronized (<Object reference>) { // code block } 4.5 Thread States Understanding the life cycle of a thread is valuable when programming with threads. Threads can exist in different states. Just because a thread's start()

method has been called, it does not mean that the thread has access to the CPU and can start executing straight away. Several factors determine how it will proceed. Figure shows the states and the transitions in the life cycle of a thread.

Ready-to-run state : A thread starts life in the Ready-to-run state Running state : If a thread is in the Running state, it means that the thread is currently executing Dead state : Once in this state, the thread cannot ever run again Non-runnable states : A running thread can transit to one of the nonrunnable states, depending on the circumstances. A thread remains in a non-runnable state until a special transition occurs. A thread does not go directly to the Running state from a non-runnable state, but transits first to the Ready-to-run state. The non-runnable states can be characterized as follows:
o o o

Sleeping: The thread sleeps for a specified amount of time . Blocked for I/O: The thread waits for a blocking operation to complete. Blocked for join completion: The thread awaits completion of another thread Waiting for notification: The thread awaits notification from another thread). Blocked for lock acquisition: The thread waits to acquire the lock of an object

Various methods from the Thread class are presented next. Examples of their usage are presented in subsequent sections. final boolean isAlive() This method can be used to find out if a thread is alive or dead. A thread is alive if it has been started but not yet terminated, that is, it is not in the Dead state.

final int getPriority() final void setPriority(int newPriority) The first method returns the priority of the current thread. The second method changes its priority. The priority set will be the minimum of the two values: the specified newPriority and the maximum priority permitted for this thread. static void yield() This method causes the current thread to temporarily pause its execution and, thereby, allow other threads to execute. static void sleep (long millisec) throws InterruptedException The current thread sleeps for the specified time before it takes its turn at running again. final void join() throws InterruptedException final void join(long millisec) throws InterruptedException A call to any of these two methods invoked on a thread will wait and not return until either the thread has completed or it is timed out after the specified time, respectively. void interrupt() The method interrupts the thread on which it is invoked. In the Waiting-fornotification, Sleeping, or Blocked-for-join-completion states, the thread will receive an InterruptedException. 4.6 Thread Priorities Threads are assigned priorities that the thread scheduler can use to determine how the threads will be scheduled. The thread scheduler can use thread priorities to determine which thread gets to run. The thread scheduler favors giving CPU time to the thread with the highest priority in the Ready-to-run state. This is not necessarily the thread that has been the longest time in the Ready-to-run state. Heavy reliance on thread priorities for the behavior of a program can make the program unportable across platforms, as thread scheduling is host platformdependent. Priorities are integer values from 1 (lowest priority given by the constant Thread. MIN_PRIORITY) to 10 (highest priority given by the constant Thread.MAX_PRIORITY). The default priority is 5 (Thread.NORM_PRIORITY). A thread inherits the priority of its parent thread. Priority of a thread can be set using the setPriority() method and read using the getPriority() method, both of which are defined in the Thread class. The following code sets the
Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :78

priority of the thread myThread to the minimum of two values: maximum priority and current priority incremented to the next level: myThread.setPriority(Math.min(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY, myThread.getPriority()+1)); Thread Scheduler Schedulers in JVM implementations usually employ one of the two following strategies:

Preemptive scheduling. If a thread with a higher priority than the current running thread moves to the Ready-to-run state, then the current running thread can be preempted (moved to the Ready-to-run state) to let the higher priority thread execute.

Time-Sliced or Round-Robin scheduling. A running thread is allowed to execute for a fixed length of time, after which it moves to the Ready-to-run state to await its turn to run again.

It should be pointed out that thread schedulers are implementation- and platform-dependent; therefore, how threads will be scheduled is unpredictable, at least from platform to platform. Running and Yielding After its start() method has been called, the thread starts life in the Readyto-run state. Once in the Ready-to-run state, the thread is eligible for running, that is, it waits for its turn to get CPU time. The thread scheduler decides which thread gets to run and for how long. Figure illustrates the transitions between the Ready-to-Run and Running states. A call to the static method yield(), defined in the Thread class, will cause the current thread in the Running state to transit to the Ready-to-run state, this relinquishing the CPU. The thread is

then at the mercy of the thread scheduler as to when it will run again. If there are no threads waiting in the Ready-to-run state, this thread continues execution. If there are other threads in the Ready-to-run state, their priorities determine which thread gets to execute. By calling the static method yield(), the running thread gives other threads in the Ready-to-run state a chance to run. A typical example where this can be useful is when a user has given some command to start a CPU-intensive computation, and has the option of canceling it by clicking on a Cancel button. If the computation thread hogs the CPU and the user clicks the Cancel button, chances are that it might take a while before the thread monitoring the user input gets a chance to run and take appropriate action to stop the computation. A thread running such a computation should do the computation in increments, yielding between increments to allow other threads to run. This is illustrated by the following run() method: public void run() { try { while (!done()) { doLittleBitMore(); Thread.yield(); // Current thread yields } } catch (InterruptedException e) { doCleaningUp(); } } Sleeping and Waking up

A call to the static method sleep() in the Thread class will cause the currently running thread to pause its execution and transit to the Sleeping state. The method does not relinquish any lock that the thread might have. The thread will sleep for at least the time specified in its argument, before transitioning to the Ready-to-run state where it takes its turn to run again. If a thread is interrupted while sleeping, it will throw an InterruptedException when it awakes and gets to execute.

There are serveral overloaded versions of the sleep() method in the Thread class. Waiting and Notifying Waiting and notifying provide means of communication between threads that synchronize on the same object. The threads execute wait() and notify() (or notifyAll()) methods on the shared object for this purpose. These final methods are defined in the Object class, and therefore, inherited by all objects. These methods can only be executed on an object whose lock the thread holds, otherwise, the call will result in an IllegalMonitorStateException. final void wait(long timeout) throws InterruptedException final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) throws InterruptedException final void wait() throws InterruptedException A thread invokes the wait() method on the object whose lock it holds. The thread is added to the wait set of the object. final void notify() final void notifyAll() A thread invokes a notification method on the object whose lock it holds to notify thread(s) that are in the wait set of the object

4.7 Applets : An Applet is a program written in the Java programming language that can be included in an HTML page, much in the same way an image is included in a page. When you use a Java technology-enabled browser to view a page that contains an Applet, the applet's code is transferred to your system and executed by the browser's Java Virtual Machine (JVM). In java , there are two types of applet. The first are those based directly on the applet class , use the Abstract window toolkit components for graphical user interface The second type of applets care based on the swing class called JApplet . Swing applets uses the swing components for graphic user interface .

JApplets inherits from Applets , All the features of Applet are also available in JApplet.

4.8 Difference between remote and local applet: Local Applet are written in local system and stored in the file structure of the local system , when this applets are included in the java enabled

browser , there is no requirement for the internet connectivity . Browser search for the Applet in the local system path as defined in the HTML page code. Remote Applets are stored on remote system , whenever browser is requested for Remote Applets , then it queries for the applet from remote system , so internet connectivity is an essential while executing the remote Applets. For Remote Applets , web page should have an address of the remote system , and to run this remote applet , these are downloaded in local system from the remote path.

4.9 Applet Life Cycle Applet runs in the browser and its lifecycle method are called by JVM when it is loaded and destroyed. Here are the lifecycle methods of an Applet: init(): This method is called to initialized an applet start(): This method is called after the initialization of the applet. stop(): This method can be called multiple times in the life cycle of an Applet. destroy(): This method is called only once in the life cycle of the applet when applet is destroyed. init () method: The life cycle of an applet is begin on that time when the applet is first loaded into the browser and called the init() method. The init() method is called only one time in the life cycle on an applet. The init() method is basically called to read the PARAM tag in the html file. The init () method retrieve the passed parameter through the PARAM tag of html file using get Parameter() method All the initialization such as initialization of variables and the objects like image, sound file are loaded in the init () method .After the initialization of the init() method user can interact with the Applet and mostly applet contains the init() method. Start () method: The start method of an applet is called after the initialization method init(). This method may be called multiples time when the Applet needs to be started or restarted.

For Example if the user wants to return to the Applet, in this situation the start Method() of an Applet will be called by the web browser and the user will be back on the applet. In the start method user can interact within the applet. Stop () method: The stop() method can be called multiple times in the life cycle of applet like the start () method. Or should be called at least one time. There is only miner difference between the start() method and stop () method. For example the stop() method is called by the web browser on that time When the user leaves one applet to go another applet and the start() method is called on that time when the user wants to go back into the first program or Applet. destroy() method: The destroy() method is called only one time in the life cycle of Applet like init() method. This method is called only on that time when the browser needs to Shut down.

HTML and Applet

When you put an applet on your page you will need to save the applet on your server as well as the HTML page the applet is embedded in. When the page is loaded by a visitor the applet will be loaded and inserted on the page where you embedded it. Applets have the file extension "class". An example would be "myapplet.class". Some applets consist of more than just one class file, and often other files need to be present for the applet to run (such as JPG or GIF images used by the applet). Make sure to check the documentation for the applet to see if you have all files for it to run. Before embedding an applet on your page you need to upload the required files to your server. Below is a short example showing how simple it is to embed an applet on a page. <Html> <Head> <Title>Java Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309

Chapter 6 : Java and Database 6.1 Drivers : Drivers are used to connect database and the java application. Request generated by any language is not DBMS specific calls , so it is required to convert these calls according to specific database and vice versa is applicable to process the result. So there are different types of Driver like: Type 1 JDBC Driver : JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver The Type 1 driver translates all JDBC calls into ODBC calls and sends them to the ODBC driver. ODBC is a generic API. The JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver

is recommended only for experimental use or when no other alternative is available.

Type 1: JDBC-ODBC Bridge Advantage The JDBC-ODBC Bridge allows access to almost any database, since the database's ODBC drivers are already available. Disadvantages 1. Since the Bridge driver is not written fully in Java, Type 1 drivers are not portable. 2. A performance issue is seen as a JDBC call goes through the bridge to the ODBC driver, then to the database, and this applies even in the reverse process. They are the slowest of all driver types. 3. The client system requires the ODBC Installation to use the driver. 4. Not good for the Web. Type 2 JDBC Driver : Native-API/partly Java driver The distinctive characteristic of type 2 jdbc drivers are that Type 2 drivers convert JDBC calls into database-specific calls i.e. this driver is specific to a particular database. Some distinctive characteristic of type 2 jdbc drivers are shown below. Example: Oracle will have oracle native api.

Type 2: Native api/ Partly Java Driver Advantage The distinctive characteristic of type 2 jdbc drivers are that they are typically offer better performance than the JDBC-ODBC Bridge as the layers of communication (tiers) are less than that of Type 1 and also it uses Native api which is Database specific. Disadvantage 1. Native API must be installed in the Client System and hence type 2 drivers cannot be used for the Internet. 2. Like Type 1 drivers, its not written in Java Language which forms a portability issue. 3. If we change the Database we have to change the native api as it is specific to a database 4. Mostly obsolete now 5. Usually not thread safe. Type 3 JDBC Driver : All Java/Net-protocol driver Type 3 database requests are passed through the network to the middle-tier server. The middle-tier then translates the request to the database. If the

middle-tier server can in turn use Type1, Type 2 or Type 4 drivers.

Type 3: All Java/ Net-Protocol Driver Advantage 1. This driver is server-based, so there is no need for any vendor database library to be present on client machines. 2. This driver is fully written in Java and hence Portable. It is suitable for the web. 3. There are many opportunities to optimize portability, performance, and scalability. 4. The net protocol can be designed to make the client JDBC driver very small and fast to load. 5. The type 3 driver typically provides support for features such as caching (connections, query results, and so on), load balancing, and advanced system administration such as logging and auditing. 6. This driver is very flexible allows access to multiple databases using one driver. 7. They are the most efficient amongst all driver types. Disadvantage It requires another server application to install and maintain. Traversing the recordset may take longer, since the data comes through the backend server.

Type 4 JDBC Driver : Native-protocol/all-Java driver The Type 4 uses java networking libraries to communicate directly with the database server.

Type 4: Native-protocol/all-Java driver Advantage 1. The major benefit of using a type 4 jdbc drivers are that they are completely written in Java to achieve platform independence and eliminate deployment administration issues. It is most suitable for the web. 2. Number of translation layers is very less i.e. type 4 JDBC drivers don't have to translate database requests to ODBC or a native connectivity interface or to pass the request on to another server, performance is typically quite good. 3. You dont need to install special software on the client or server. Further, these drivers can be downloaded dynamically. Disadvantage With type 4 drivers, the user needs a different driver for each database. 6.2 Steps for Connectivity between java program and database There are seven standard steps in querying databases: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Import the required classes Load the JDBC driver. Establish the connection. Create a statement object. Execute a query or update. Process the results. Close the connection.

1. Importing required classes : The very first step that is required while connecting java code to database is that we have to import the required class for connection . As an example , for connection mysql , the required classes are present inside java.sql package .

Import the java.sql package Ex: import java.sql.* ; * indicates all classes of sql package are imported. 2. Load the JDBC driver: Once you import the required classes , next step is to load the driver for connectivity to database. Java provides a class with the name Class which is used to load the driver by using its static method forName . So we load the driver by calling Class.forName() method. try { Class.forName( "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" ); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println( Unable to establish the connection ); } A client can connect to Database server by JDBC driver. Connector/j driver is commonly used driver for mysql database. The newInstance() method is used to create new instance of driver class. 3. Establish the connection Driver Manager Class defines object which is used to create connection between database and application. The getConnection() method uses user name, password and URL to establish connection. With this connection we can execute SQL, PL/SQL statement. Java provides Connection interface which hold the connection reference for executing different queries . Connection ref= DriverManger.getConnection(url,username,password); 4. Create a statement object. Once establish the connection with database server we can interact with database using statement object. Statement object is instantiated from connection object by calling createStatement() method. Statement object is to send and execute sql statements to database.

Three kinds of statements objects are available

Written by : Shishav Jain Mob:8290280309 Page Number :91

 Statement create simple SQL statement without parameters. Interface provides basic functionality for executing and retrieving results. Prepared statement which inherits from Statement, Object used to executes precompiled sql statements with or without parameter. This interface adds method to deal with IN parameter. 5. Executing statement object Statement interface defines method to interact with database by executing sql quires. Statement has three method executeQuery() is used for SELECT statement. executeUpdate() is used for create, alter or drop table. execute() is used when sql statement written as string object.

String query = "SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM sometable"; ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(query); 6. Process the result : The simplest way to handle the results is to process them one row at a time, using the ResultSets next method to move through the table a row at a time. Within a row, ResultSet provides various getXxx methods that take a column index or column name as an argument and return the result as a variety of different Java types. For instance, use getInt if the value should be an integer, getString for a String, and so on for most other data types. If you just want to display the results, you can use getString regardless of the actual column type. However, if you use the version that takes a column index, note that columns are indexed starting at 1 (following the SQL convention), not at 0 as with arrays, vectors, and most other data structures in the Java programming language. Note that the first column in a ResultSet row has index 1, not 0. Here is an example that prints the values of the first three columns in all rows of a ResultSet.

while(resultSet.next()) { System.out.println(results.getString(1) + " " + results.getString(2) + " " + results.getString(3)); }

Summary : 1. We require Drivers to convert the Java specific calls to DBMS specific calls . 2. Class.forName() ,static method of the class Class is used to load the driver class. Each database has specific Drivers Class 3. We have to pass the username ,password and ip and port while establishing a connection with database. 4. We used executeUpdate() method for insertion,deletion and updation query . This method returns the int value which is the number of rows that are affected from query. 5. We used executeQuery() method for select query , which returns the table accoding to our condition in the query and this result is hold by the ResultSet Interface.
