Introduction To Java Bluej Environment

This document discusses key concepts related to Java and the BlueJ development environment. It begins with questions and answers that describe Java's platform independence through use of a virtual machine, bytecode, and the JVM. It then covers the Java Development Kit (JDK), APIs, characteristics of Java/BlueJ like being write once run anywhere, and object-oriented. The document also discusses how to create, compile, and execute programs in BlueJ and the two types of Java applications.

INTRODUCTION TO

JAVA BLUEJ
ENVIRONMENT

Q. Why is Java often termed as a platform?


Ans: Platform is the environment in which
programs execute. Instead of interacting
with the Operating System directly, Java
programs runs on a virtual machine
provided by Java, therefore Java is often
referred to as a platform also.
Q. What is a bytecode?
Ans: Bytecode is a set of pseudo mechanic
language instructions that are understood
by the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and
are independent of the underlying
hardware.
Q. What do you understand by JVM?
Ans: JVM or Java Virtual Machine is an
abstract machine designed to be
implemented on top of existing processors.
It hides the underlying OS from Java
application. Programs written in Java are
compiled into Java byte-code, which is
then interpreted by a special java
Interpreter for a specific platform. Actually
this Java interpreter is known as Java
Virtual Machine (JVM).
Q. What is JDK (Java Development Kit)?
Ans: The Java development kit comes with
a collection of tools that are used for
developing and running java programs.
Q. What are Java APIs?
Ans: The Java APIs (Application Program
Interface) consist of libraries of pre-
compiled code that programmers can use
in their application.
Q. Write the five characteristics of
Java/BlueJ?
Ans: 1. Write Once Run Anywhere 2.
Light weight code 3. Security 4. Built in
Graphics 5. Object Oriented Language 6.
Support Multimedia 7. Platform
Independent. 8. Open Product.
Q. What do you know about BlueJ?
Ans: BlueJ is a Java development
environment. It is an IDE (Integrated
Development Environment), which
includes an editor a debugger and a
viewer.
Q. How you create, compile and execute a
program in Java or BlueJ? Explain your
answer?
Ans: Create: Click on new class button
from BlueJ editor, then type the class name
a program icon will be created. double
click on it, a program editor will be open,
erase the code and type your program
coding. Compile: click the compile button
on the left of the window or right click on
the class icon and select compile from the
menu options. Execute: Right click on the
class icon and select new class name
option. A dialogue box appears type the
name of the object. A object icon will be
created at the bottom. Right click on the
object icon and select the method we want
to execute.
Q. The two types of Java
programs/applications are?
Ans: The two types of Java Applications
are ‘Internet Applets’ and ‘Stand alone
application’.
Q. State the distinguishing features of Java
and C++?
Ans: (i) Java does not support operator
overloading.
(ii) Java does not use pointers.
(iii) There are no header files in Java.
(iv) Java does not have template classes as
in C++.
Q. State the differences between Syntax
errors and Logical errors.
Ans: The compiler can only translate a
program if the program is syntactically
correct; otherwise the compilation fails and
you will not be able to run your program.
Syntax refers to the structure of your
program and the rules about that structure.
The second type of error is a run-time
error, so-called because the error does not
appear until you run the program. In Java,
run-time errors occur when the interpreter
is running the byte code and something
goes wrong.
Q. “Object is an instance of a class”,
explain.
Ans: Object of a class contains data and
functions provided in a class. it possesses
all the features of a class. Hence object is
termed as instance of a class.
Q. Name four basic features of JAVA.
Ans: Basic features of Java as follows:
i) It is an object oriented language.
ii) Java program is both compiled and
interpreted..
iii) Java program can be application or
applet.
iv) java is case sensitive language, i.e. it
distinguished upper and lower case letters.
Q. Differentiate between Compiler and
Interpreter.
Ans: Compiler convert source code to
machine language whole at a time.
Interpreter converts program from high
level language to machine level language
line by line or statement by statement.
Q. Java uses compiler as well as
interpreter, explain.
Ans: Java compiler converts Java source
code to byte code. This byte code is further
converted into machine code to make it
applicable for the specific platform by
using interpreter.
Q. Differentiate between Source code and
Byte code.
Ans: Source code is the program
developed in Java Language, which is
input to a computer through the keyboard.
Compiler converts source code to byte
code for interpretation.
Q. Differentiate between Testing and
Debugging.
Ans: Testing is the process of checking
program logic manually to ensure whether
it contains any error or not. Debugging is
the process of removing errors from a
program.
