history of World Wide Web
The World Wide Web (WWW) is an information system where documents and other
web resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext, and accessible via the
Internet. Here's a brief history:
1. Inception and Development:
 1989: The concept of the World Wide Web was proposed by Tim Berners-Lee, a
British scientist working at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research).
 1990: Berners-Lee, along with Robert Caillou, implemented the first successful
communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via
the Internet. He also created the first web browser, Worldwide Web (later renamed
Nexus).
 1991: The first website, http://info.cern.ch, was published by Berners-Lee, explaining
the basics of the web and how to set up a web server.
2. Growth and Expansion:
1993: The Mosaic web browser was developed by Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina at the
National Centre for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). Mosaic's user-friendly interface
contributed significantly to the web's popularity.
1994: Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at MIT to develop web
standards and ensure interoperability.
3. Commercialization:
 Mid-1990s: The web started to gain commercial traction. Netscape Navigator, a
major web browser, was released in 1994.
 1995: JavaScript, a scripting language for the web, was introduced by Netscape.
 1995: Internet Explorer, Microsoft's web browser, was released.

4. Dot-com Boom and Bust:

 Late 1990s to Early 2000s: The dot-com bubble saw massive investments in web-
based companies. The bubble burst around 2000-2001, leading to a market crash.

5. Web 2.0 and Social Media:

 Mid-2000s: Web 2.0, a term describing the web’s evolution to support user-
generated content, usability, and interoperability, became prominent. This period
saw the rise of social media platforms like Facebook (2004) and YouTube (2005).
6. Modern Web:
 2010s-Present: The web has become an integral part of daily life, with advancements
in mobile web access, web applications, cloud computing, and IoT (Internet of
Things). HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript frameworks like AngularJS and React have
revolutionized web development.

It is essential to identify objects in web development strategies because it will

help the developer to understand the elements that play a vital role in business
applications.

protocols governing the web

The protocols governing the web define the rules and conventions for
communication and data exchange over the internet.
1. HTTP/HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol / HyperText Transfer Protocol
Secure):
  HTTP: Used for transmitting hypertext requests and information
on the web. It is the foundation of any data exchange on the web.
 HTTPS: The secure version of HTTP, encrypting data using SSL/TLS
to ensure secure communication.
2. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol):
 TCP: Ensures reliable data transmission between computers. It
establishes a connection and ensures that data is sent and
received accurately.
 IP: Handles addressing and routing of packets of data so they can
travel across networks and reach the correct destination.

3. DNS (Domain Name System):

 Translates domain names into IP addresses, allowing users to access

websites using human-readable names instead of numerical IP
addresses.

4. FTP (File Transfer Protocol):

 Used for transferring files between computers on a network. It allows

users to upload and download files to and from a server.

5. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol):

 Used for sending emails from a client to a server or between servers.

6. IMAP/POP3 (Internet Message Access Protocol / Post Office Protocol 3):

 IMAP: Allows email clients to access messages stored on a mail server,

enabling users to manage their emails directly on the server.
 POP3: Downloads emails from a server to a local client and usually
deletes the messages from the server.

7. SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer / Transport Layer Security):

 Cryptographic protocols that provide secure communication over a

computer network. TLS is the successor to SSL.

8. ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol):

  ICMP is used for sending error messages and operational information
indicating success or failure when communicating with another IP address. It is
mainly used by network devices, like routers, to send error messages
indicating issues such as a requested service is not available or a host or
router could not be reached.

9. RIP (Routing Information Protocol):

 RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol used in local and wide area networks.
It employs hop count as a routing metric to find the best path between the
source and the destination network.

10. UDP (User Datagram Protocol):

 UDP is a simple, connectionless protocol used for transmitting messages,

called datagrams, without establishing a connection. Unlike TCP, it does not
provide error correction, making it faster but less reliable.

HTTP PROTOCOL HTTP (HyperText Transfer

Protocol) is the foundation of data communication on the World Wide
Web. It defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and how
web servers and browsers should respond to various commands. HTTP is
an application layer protocol that operates over TCP/IP. It is a protocol
used for transmitting hypertext requests and information between clients
(such as web browsers) and servers.

Three Basic Features of HTTP

1. Statelessness:
 HTTP is a stateless protocol, meaning each request from a client to a server is
treated as an independent transaction that is unrelated to any previous
request. This simplifies the protocol because the server does not need to
retain session information or the state of each request, making HTTP highly
scalable.

2. Simple Request/Response Model:

  HTTP operates on a straightforward request/response model where a client
sends a request to the server, and the server responds with the requested
resource or an error message. This simplicity makes it easy to implement and
debug, as well as to understand and use.

3. Extensibility:
 HTTP is designed to be extensible, allowing for additional functionalities
through headers and status codes. New methods (like PUT, DELETE, PATCH)
and headers can be introduced without affecting the core protocol, enabling
it to evolve and support new features over time.

Architecture of HTTP
The architecture of HTTP involves clients sending requests and servers
responding with the requested resources or appropriate status messages .

to the private network.
 Usage: Enhances security and privacy, especially on public Wi-Fi.

Internet services

To access/exchange a large amount of data such as software, audio clips, video

clips, text files, other documents, etc., we need internet services. You must use
an Internet service to connect to the Internet. Data can be sent from Internet
servers to your machine via Internet service.
Internet service refers to the provision of connectivity to the internet by an
Internet Service Provider (ISP). This service allows individuals and
organizations to access the vast network of interconnected computers and
devices worldwide, enabling activities such as browsing websites, sending and
receiving emails, streaming media, and more.

Client-Server Computing
Client-server computing is a model of network architecture that separates
functions into two roles: clients and servers. This model is foundational for
many internet services and applications.
Key Components
1. Client:
 Definition: A client is a computing device or software that requests
services or resources from a server.
 Function: Initiates communication and sends requests to the
server, such as accessing a web page, querying a database, or
retrieving a file.
 Examples: Web browsers, email clients, and desktop applications.
2. Server:
 Definition: A server is a computing device or software that
provides services or resources to clients.
  Function: Responds to client requests by providing the requested
services or resources. This can include serving web pages,
managing databases, or storing files.
 Examples: Web servers, database servers, and file servers.
How It Works
1. Request-Response Cycle:
 The client sends a request to the server over the network.
 The server processes the request and returns the appropriate
response to the client.
 This interaction is typically facilitated by standard communication
protocols, such as HTTP for web services or SQL for database
queries.

2. Communication Protocols:
 HTTP/HTTPS: Used by web browsers to request web pages from
web servers.
 FTP: Used for transferring files between clients and servers.
 SMTP/IMAP/POP3: Used for sending and receiving emails.
 SQL: Used by clients to query and update databases on a database
server.
Advantages of Client-Server Computing
1. Centralized Management:
 Servers manage resources and services centrally, making it easier
to update, secure, and maintain the system.
2. Scalability:
 Servers can handle multiple clients simultaneously, and resources
can be scaled up or down to meet demand.
3. Resource Sharing:
 Clients can share resources provided by the server, such as files,
applications, and processing power.
4. Security:
 Centralized control allows for better implementation of security
measures, such as authentication, authorization, and data
encryption.
Disadvantages of Client-Server Computing
1. Server Dependence:
 If the server goes down, clients may lose access to services and
resources.
2. Network Dependence:
 The performance of client-server interactions depends on network
reliability and speed.
3. Cost:
 Servers can be expensive to maintain and require specialized
knowledge for setup and administration.
Examples of Client-Server Architecture
1. Web Browsing:
 Client: Web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox).
 Server: Web server hosting the website (e.g., Apache, Nginx).
2. Email Services:
 Client: Email client (e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird).
  Server: Mail server (e.g., Microsoft Exchange, Gmail servers).
3. Online Gaming:
 Client: Game client software.
 Server: Game server hosting the game environment.
4. Database Access:
 Client: Database management tool or application (e.g., MySQL
Workbench).
 Server: Database server (e.g., MySQL, Oracle).

Java is a popular, high-level, object-oriented programming language

designed for flexibility and ease of use. It is widely used for building cross-
platform applications. Here are some of the key features of Java:
1. Platform Independence
 Write Once, Run Anywhere (WORA): Java programs are compiled into
bytecode that can be executed on any device equipped with a Java Virtual
Machine (JVM). This makes Java platform-independent, allowing the
same program to run on different operating systems without modification.
2. Object-Oriented
 Principles: Java follows the principles of object-oriented programming
(OOP), including inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, and
abstraction. This helps in organizing complex programs into manageable
pieces by using objects and classes.
3. Simple
 Ease of Learning: Java is designed to be easy to learn and use, especially
for those already familiar with C or C++. It eliminates many complex
features of C++ like pointers and multiple inheritance, making the
language simpler and more accessible.
4. Secure
 Built-in Security Features: Java provides a secure environment for
developing applications through its built-in security features. The JVM
has a robust security manager and bytecode verifier, which help prevent
unauthorized access and ensure code safety.
5. Robust
  Error Handling and Memory Management: Java emphasizes reliability
through its strong error handling (exception handling) capabilities and
automatic garbage collection, which helps manage memory efficiently
and reduce the likelihood of memory leaks and crashes.
6. Multithreading
 Concurrency: Java supports multithreading, allowing multiple threads of
execution to run concurrently. This feature is useful for performing
several tasks simultaneously, improving the performance and
responsiveness of applications.
7. High Performance
 JIT Compiler: Java's Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler enhances performance
by converting bytecode into native machine code at runtime, allowing the
JVM to execute instructions more quickly and efficiently.
8. Distributed
 Network-Centric: Java provides a wide range of libraries and APIs for
building distributed applications. It supports Remote Method Invocation
(RMI) and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), which facilitate communication
and data exchange over networks.
9. Dynamic
 Runtime Flexibility: Java is dynamic in nature, meaning it can adapt to
an evolving environment. It supports dynamic loading of classes and can
accommodate new methods and properties, even during runtime, without
affecting existing programs.
10. Portable
 Cross-Platform Portability: Java bytecode can be executed on any
platform with a JVM. This portability extends to the library and API
level, ensuring that Java applications can be transferred and run across
different environments seamlessly.
11. Rich Standard Library
 Extensive APIs: Java comes with a comprehensive set of standard
libraries, known as the Java Standard Edition (Java SE), which includes
utilities for data structures, networking, file I/O, graphical user interface
(GUI) development, and more.
12. Scalable
  Scalability: Java is well-suited for developing large-scale enterprise
applications. It supports modular programming and provides tools for
managing complex projects, making it suitable for applications ranging
from small-scale to large enterprise solutions.
Summary
Java's features make it a versatile and powerful language for a wide range of
applications. Its platform independence, object-oriented nature, simplicity,
security, robustness, multithreading capability, high performance, distributed
computing support, dynamic behaviour, portability, rich standard library, and
scalability collectively contribute to its popularity and widespread adoption in
the software development industry.

In Java, a class is a blueprint for creating objects. It defines a data type by

bundling data (attributes or fields) and methods (functions or behaviors) that
operate on the data into one single unit. Classes are fundamental to the object-
oriented programming (OOP) paradigm, enabling the creation and manipulation
of objects.
Key Characteristics of a Class
1. Blueprint for Objects:
 A class serves as a template from which individual objects are
created. It defines the properties and behaviors that the objects will
have.
2. Encapsulation:
 A class encapsulates data and methods into a single unit. It
provides a clear structure for storing data and functions that operate
on the data.
3. Reusability:
 Once a class is defined, it can be used to create multiple instances
(objects), promoting code reusability and modularity.

Classes and Objects in Java

In Java, everything revolves around classes and objects. Here’s a brief
overview:
1. Class:
 o A class is like a blueprint or template for creating objects.
o It defines the attributes (also known as fields or properties) and
methods (functions) that an object of that class will have.
o For example, think of a class as defining what a “car” should have
(attributes like weight and colour, and methods like drive and
brake).
2. Object:
o An object is an instance of a class.
o When you create an object, you’re essentially creating a real-world
entity based on the class blueprint.
o For instance, if you have a class called Car, you can create
multiple Car objects, each with its own specific attributes and
behaviour.
Objects: 1. An object is an instance of a class template. 2. Objects are the basic
runtime entities in an object-oriented system. 3. An object has three
characteristics: i. State: It represents data (value) of an object. ii. Behaviour: It
represents the behaviour (functionality) of an object. iii. Identity: It is a unique
ID which is used internally by JVM to identify each object. 4. General syntax to
declare object is: class Name Object Name;
Methods: 1. Methods are the set of executable statements. 2. Methods (also
called as function) are also the interface to the data variables of the class. 3.
Methods provide a structured approach to programming. A program can be
divided into several methods.

Inheritance inheritance is a fundamental concept in object-oriented

programming (OOP). It allows one class to derive properties and methods from another
class. Here are the key points about inheritance:
1. Base Class (Superclass): The existing class from which properties are inherited is
called the base class or superclass. It defines the common attributes and behaviours
shared by multiple related classes.
2. Derived Class (Subclass): The new class created by inheriting properties from the
base class is called the derived class or subclass. The derived class can add its own
features without affecting the base class.
3. Why Use Inheritance? Consider a scenario where you need to create classes for
different types of vehicles (e.g., Bus, Car, and Truck). These classes share common
methods like fuelAmount(), capacity(), and applyBrakes(). Without inheritance, you’d have
to duplicate these methods in each class, leading to code redundancy and potential
 errors. By using inheritance, you can create a base class (e.g., Vehicle) with these
common methods and then derive the specific vehicle classes from it. This approach
promotes code reusability and reduces redundancy

Therefore, rather than creating completely new classes from scratch, we can take advantage of
inheritance and reduce software complexity.

Types of inheritance: a. Single inheritance: It is the inheritance hierarchy wherein one derived class
inherits from one base class. b. Multiple inheritance: It is the inheritance hierarchy wherein one
derived class inherits from multiple base classes. c. Hierarchical inheritance: It is the inheritance
hierarchy wherein multiple subclasses inherit from one base class. d. Multilevel inheritance: It is the
inheritance hierarchy wherein subclass acts as a base class for other classes. e. Hybrid inheritance:
The inheritance hierarchy that reflects any legal combination of other four types of inheritance.
Object-oriented programming (OOP) languages support several key features that enable developers
to create modular, reusable, and maintainable code. The main features of OOP include:

1. Classes and Objects:

 Class: A blueprint for creating objects. It defines a data structure and the methods
that can operate on that data.

 Object: An instance of a class. It represents a specific realization of the class, with

actual values for the properties defined by the class.

2. Encapsulation:

 The bundling of data (attributes) and methods (functions) that operate on the data
into a single unit called a class. Encapsulation helps in hiding the internal state of the
object from the outside world, only allowing access through public methods. This
ensures data integrity and prevents external interference and misuse.

3. Inheritance:

 The mechanism by which one class (the child or subclass) can inherit properties and
methods from another class (the parent or superclass). Inheritance promotes code
reuse and establishes a natural hierarchy between classes.

4. Polymorphism:

 The ability of different objects to respond to the same message (method call) in
different ways. Polymorphism is typically achieved through method overriding
(inherited methods can be redefined in subclasses) and method overloading
(methods with the same name but different parameters within the same class).

5. Abstraction:

 The process of simplifying complex systems by modeling classes appropriate to the

problem, including only relevant details while omitting the unnecessary ones.
Abstraction helps in managing complexity by reducing the details to a set of essential
characteristics.

6. Modularity:

 The design principle that divides a program into separate sub-programs (modules or
classes). Each module is responsible for a specific functionality, making the system
more manageable, scalable, and easier to debug.

7. Composition:

 The principle of creating complex types by combining objects of other types. This
allows for building more complex behaviours and hierarchies by combining simpler,
reusable components.

8. Dynamic Binding:
  The process of resolving method calls at runtime rather than at compile time. This
allows for more flexible and extensible code, enabling polymorphism and dynamic
method dispatch.

These features collectively support the development of robust, flexible, and maintainable software
systems, promoting better organization and management of complex software projects.

Package
In Java, a package is a namespace that organizes a set of related classes and interfaces. Conceptually,
you can think of packages as similar to directories on your computer, where you organize files to keep
things neat and avoid conflicts.
Benefits of Using Packages
1. Namespace Management: Packages help avoid class name conflicts. For example, two
classes with the same name can coexist in different packages.
2. Modularity: Packages group related classes and interfaces together, making it easier to
manage large software projects.
3. Access Protection: Packages can control access to classes, interfaces, and members using
access modifiers (public, protected, private, default).
4. Reusability: Classes in packages can be reused in different programs by importing the
package.

Creating a Package
To create a package, you use the package keyword at the beginning of your Java source file, followed
by the package name. The package name typically follows a hierarchical naming convention, which is
usually the reversed domain name of the organization followed by subpackage names.
For example, if your domain name is` example.com`, a package for utility classes might be named
`com.example.util`.
Here's how you define a package:
package com.example.util;
public class MyClass {
// class contents
}
Using Packages
To use classes from a package, you need to import the package. This can be done using the import
keyword. You can import a specific class or the entire package.
Importing a Specific Class:
import com.example.util.MyClass;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyClass obj = new MyClass();
// use obj
}
}
Importing an Entire Package:
import com.example.util.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyClass obj = new MyClass();
// use obj
}
}
Package Naming Conventions
 Use lowercase letters for package names to avoid conflicts with class names.
 Start with the reversed domain name of your organization.
 Follow with subpackage names, separated by dots, to organize your classes logically.
For example:
`com.example.project.model`
`com.example.project.controller`
`com.example.project.service`

Interfaces in Java
An interface in Java is a reference type, similar to a class, that can contain only constants, method
signatures, default methods, static methods, and nested types. Interfaces cannot contain instance fields
or constructors. They are used to specify what a class must do, but not how it does it. Interfaces
provide a way to achieve abstraction and multiple inheritance in Java.
Key Features of Interfaces
1. Abstract Methods: Interfaces primarily contain abstract methods (methods without a body)
that must be implemented by any class that implements the interface.
2. Default Methods: Java 8 introduced default methods in interfaces. These are methods with a
default implementation.
3. Static Methods: Interfaces can also contain static methods, which belong to the interface
rather than instances of the implementing classes.
 4. Constants: Interfaces can include constants (static final variables).
5. Multiple Inheritance: A class can implement multiple interfaces, providing a way to achieve
multiple inheritance in Java.
Syntax of an Interface
public interface MyInterface {
// abstract method
void abstractMethod();
// default method
default void defaultMethod() {
System.out.println("This is a default method.");
}
// static method
static void staticMethod() {
System.out.println("This is a static method.");
}
// constant
int CONSTANT_VALUE = 42;
}
Implementing an Interface
A class that implements an interface must provide implementations for all the abstract methods in the
interface.
public class MyClass implements MyInterface {
@Override
public void abstractMethod () {
System.out.println("Implementation of abstract method.");
}

public static void main (String [] args) {

MyClass obj = new MyClass ();
obj.abstractMethod(); // Output: Implementation of abstract method.
obj.defaultMethod(); // Output: This is a default method.
MyInterface.staticMethod(); // Output: This is a static method.
 // Accessing constant
System.out.println("Constant value: " + MyInterface.CONSTANT_VALUE); // Output: Constant
value: 42
}
}
Example: A Real-World Scenario
Let's consider an example where we have an interface `PaymentProcessor` for different types of
payment methods.
public interface PaymentProcessor {
void processPayment(double amount);
}
We can have multiple classes implementing this interface:
public class CreditCardProcessor implements PaymentProcessor {
@Override
public void processPayment(double amount) {
System.out.println("Processing credit card payment of $" + amount);
}
}

public class PayPalProcessor implements PaymentProcessor {

@Override
public void processPayment(double amount) {
System.out.println("Processing PayPal payment of $" + amount);
}
}

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
PaymentProcessor creditCard = new CreditCardProcessor();
PaymentProcessor payPal = new PayPalProcessor();

creditCard.processPayment(100.00); // Output: Processing credit card payment of $100.0

payPal.processPayment(200.00); // Output: Processing PayPal payment of $200.0
 }
}

Summary
 Definition: An interface is a reference type in Java that can contain abstract methods, default
methods, static methods, and constants.
 Purpose: Interfaces define a contract that implementing classes must follow.
 Features: Abstract methods must be implemented by implementing classes, while default and
static methods provide optional functionality.
 Multiple Inheritance: Interfaces allow a class to implement multiple interfaces, offering a
way to achieve multiple inheritance.
Using interfaces effectively helps to achieve abstraction and polymorphism in Java programs,
promoting flexibility and maintainability.

The `this` keyword in Java is used to refer to the current instance of the class. It
is often used in constructors to distinguish between instance variables and
parameters with the same name. Here's a Java program that demonstrates the
use of the `this` keyword in a constructor:
public class Student {
private String name;
private int age;
// Constructor using this keyword
public Student (String name, int age) {
this.name = name; // 'this.name' refers to the instance variable
this.age = age; // 'this.age' refers to the instance variable
}
// Method to display student details
public void displayDetails() {
System.out.println("Name: " + name);
System.out.println("Age: " + age);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Creating an object of the Student class
Student student = new Student("Alice", 20);
// Displaying the details of the student
student.displayDetails();
}
}
Explanation:
1. Class Definition: The Student class has two instance variables: name
and age.
2. Constructor: The constructor takes two parameters, name and age. The
this keyword is used to distinguish the instance variables (this.name and
this.age) from the parameters (name and age).
3. Method: displayDetails method is used to print the student's details.
4. Main Method: An instance of the Student class is created with the name
"Alice" and age 20, and the displayDetails method is called to print these
details.
When you run this program, it will output:
Name: Alice
Age: 20
This demonstrates how the `this` keyword is used in the constructor to
differentiate between instance variables and constructor parameters.
What Are Exceptions?
Exceptions in Java are events that disrupt the normal flow of the program's
instructions. They are objects representing an error or an unexpected event that
occurs during the execution of a program. Exceptions can be caused by various
reasons such as user input errors, hardware failures, or attempts to perform
illegal operations.
Handling Exceptions in Java
Java provides a robust mechanism to handle exceptions, ensuring the program
can manage errors gracefully and continue executing. The primary way to
handle exceptions is through the use of `try`, `catch`, `throw`, `throws`, and
`finally` keywords.
The mechanism suggests a separate error handling code that performs the
following tasks :
a. Find the problem (Hit the exception)
b. Inform that an error has occurred (Throw the exception)
c. Receive the error information (Catch the exception)
d. Take corrective actions (Handle the exception)
Keywords and Their Usage:
1. `try`
The `try` block contains the code that might throw an exception. It is followed
by one or more `catch` blocks or a `finally` block.
2. `catch`
The `catch` block is used to handle the exception. It must be associated with a
`try` block and can catch and process specific exceptions.
3. `throw`
The `throw` keyword is used to explicitly throw an exception. This can be used
to create an exception and pass it to the runtime system.
4. `finally`
The `finally` block contains code that will execute regardless of whether an
exception is thrown or not. It is typically used for cleanup activities, such as
closing files or releasing resources.

Example:
public class ExceptionExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// Code that may throw an exception
int result = divide(10, 0);
System.out.println("Result: " + result);
} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
// Handling the exception
System.out.println("Exception caught: Division by zero!");
} finally {
// This block will always execute
System.out.println("Finally block executed.");
 }

try {
// Explicitly throwing an exception
checkAge(15);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception caught: " + e.getMessage());
}
}

// Method to demonstrate throw keyword

public static void checkAge(int age) throws Exception {
if (age < 18) {
throw new Exception("Age must be 18 or older.");
} else {
System.out.println("Age is valid.");
}
}

// Method to demonstrate try-catch-finally

public static int divide(int a, int b) {
return a / b;
}
}
Explanation:
1. try Block:
try {
 int result = divide(10, 0);
System.out.println("Result: " + result);
}
The `divide` method is called with `10` and `0` as arguments, which causes an
`ArithmeticException` (division by zero).
2. catch Block:
catch (ArithmeticException e) {
System.out.println("Exception caught: Division by zero!");
}
The `catch` block catches the `ArithmeticException` and prints a message.
3. finally Block:
finally {
System.out.println("Finally block executed.");
}
The `finally` block executes regardless of whether an exception was caught,
ensuring that cleanup code runs.
4. throw Keyword:
public static void checkAge(int age) throws Exception {
if (age < 18) {
throw new Exception("Age must be 18 or older.");
} else {
System.out.println("Age is valid.");
}
}
The `checkAge` method checks the age and throws an exception if the age is
less than 18.

Is It Essential to Catch All Types of Exceptions?

It is not essential to catch all types of exceptions. However, it is considered
good practice to catch specific exceptions you can handle and let others
propagate. This approach prevents the program from failing unexpectedly and
helps in debugging. In some cases, catching all exceptions may lead to masking
issues and making debugging harder.

What is a Thread?
A thread in Java is a lightweight process. It is the smallest unit of processing
that can be performed in an OS. Java provides built-in support for
multithreading. Multithreading is a feature that allows concurrent execution of
two or more threads for maximum utilization of CPU.
Creating Threads in Java
There are two main ways to create a thread in Java:
1. By extending the `Thread` class
2. By implementing the `Runnable` interface
1. Creating a Thread by Extending the `Thread` Class
In this method, you create a new class that extends the `Thread` class and
override the `run` method. Then you create an instance of this class and call the
`start` method to begin execution.
class MyThread extends Thread {
public void run() {
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getId() + " Value " + i);
try {
Thread.sleep(1000); // Sleep for 1 second
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
 public static void main(String[] args) {
MyThread t1 = new MyThread();
t1.start(); // Start the first thread

MyThread t2 = new MyThread();

t2.start(); // Start the second thread
}
}

2. Creating a Thread by Implementing the `Runnable` Interface

In this method, you create a new class that implements the `Runnable` interface
and provide an implementation for the `run` method. Then you create an
instance of `Thread` by passing an instance of your class that implements
`Runnable` to its constructor, and call the `start` method.
class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
public void run() {
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getId() + " Value " + i);
try {
Thread.sleep(1000); // Sleep for 1 second
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

MyRunnable myRunnable = new MyRunnable();
 Thread t1 = new Thread(myRunnable);
t1.start(); // Start the first thread

Thread t2 = new Thread(myRunnable);

t2.start(); // Start the second thread
}
}
Explanation:
1. Extending `Thread` Class:
 You create a class `MyThread` that extends the `Thread` class.
 Override the `run` method to define the code that constitutes the
new thread.
 Create an instance of `MyThread` and call `start` to begin
execution.
2. Implementing `Runnable` Interface:
 You create a class `MyRunnable` that implements the `Runnable`
interface.
 Override the `run` method to define the code that constitutes the
new thread.
 Create an instance of `Thread`, passing an instance of
`MyRunnable` to its constructor.
 Call `start` to begin execution.
Advantages and Considerations:
 Extending `Thread` Class:
 Simple to use.
 Limits inheritance as Java allows single inheritance.
 Implementing `Runnable` Interface:
 More flexible as your class can extend another class.
 Separates the task from the thread, which promotes reusability.
Both methods achieve the same result but choosing one over the other depends
on the specific requirements and design considerations of your application.
Implementing `Runnable` is often preferred due to its flexibility and the ability
to inherit from other classes.
Write a program that executes two threads. One thread will print
the even numbers and another thread will print odd numbers
from 1 to 5.
Here is a Java program that creates two threads: one for printing even numbers
and another for printing odd numbers from 1 to 5.
public class EvenOddThread {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Creating instances of the Runnable implementations
Runnable printEven = new PrintEven();
Runnable printOdd = new PrintOdd();
// Creating threads
Thread evenThread = new Thread(printEven);
Thread oddThread = new Thread(printOdd);
// Starting threads
evenThread.start();
oddThread.start();
}
}
class PrintEven implements Runnable {
public void run() {
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
if (i % 2 == 0) {
System.out.println("Even: " + i);
try {
Thread.sleep(500); // Sleep for half a second
 } catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
}
}
class PrintOdd implements Runnable {
public void run() {
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
if (i % 2 != 0) {
System.out.println("Odd: " + i);
try {
Thread.sleep(500); // Sleep for half a second
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
}
}
Explanation
1. Main Class (EvenOddThread):
 Creates instances of PrintEven and PrintOdd, which implement
the Runnable interface.
 Creates Thread objects for these instances and starts them.
2. PrintEven Class:
 Implements the Runnable interface and overrides the run method.
  In the run method, it loops from 1 to 5 and prints even numbers.
 Uses Thread.sleep(500) to make the thread sleep for half a second
between prints.
3. PrintOdd Class:
 Implements the Runnable interface and overrides the run method.
 In the run method, it loops from 1 to 5 and prints odd numbers.
 Uses Thread.sleep(500) to make the thread sleep for half a second
between prints.
When you run this program, it will start two threads: one for printing even
numbers and another for printing odd numbers. The output will look something
like this:
Odd: 1
Even: 2
Odd: 3
Even: 4
Odd: 5
The actual order may vary slightly due to the nature of thread scheduling, but
each thread will print the numbers within the specified range.
multithreading in Java
1.A multithreaded program contains two or more parts that can run
concurrently.
2.Each part of such a program is called a thread, and each thread
defines a separate path of execution.
3.Each thread runs parallel to each other.
4. A multithreading is a specialized form of multitasking.
5. In multithread program, each thread has its own life cycle. The life
cycle of thread is shown in Fig. 1.29.1.
Java I/O (Input and Output) is essential for processing data in Java programs. It allows you to
read input from various sources (such as files, network sockets, and user input) and write output to
different destinations. Let’s explore the key concepts related to Java I/O:

1. I/O Streams:

o Byte Streams: Handle raw binary data. They are used for low-level I/O operations.

o Character Streams: Handle character data and automatically perform character set
translation. These are more suitable for reading and writing text.

o Buffered Streams: Optimize I/O by reducing the number of calls to the native API.
They improve performance by buffering data.

o Scanning and Formatting: Allows reading and writing formatted text using classes
like Scanner and Formatter.

o I/O from the Command Line: Describes the Standard Streams

(System.in, System.out, and System.err) and the Console object.

2. Data Streams:

o DataInputStream and DataOutputStream: Handle binary I/O of primitive data types

(e.g., int, double) and String values.

o ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream: Handle binary I/O of objects. Useful

for serialization and deserialization.

3. File I/O (Featuring NIO.2):

o Path: Represents a path on a file system. The cornerstone class in

the java.nio.file package.

o Path Operations: Methods for syntactic operations on paths.

o File Operations: Concepts common to many file I/O methods.

o Checking a File or Directory: How to verify a file’s existence and accessibility.

o Deleting, Copying, and Moving Files/Directories: Managing files and directories.

o Managing Metadata: Reading and setting file attributes.

o Reading, Writing, and Creating Files: Stream and channel methods for file I/O.

o Random Access Files: Reading or writing files non-sequentially.

o Creating and Reading Directories: API specific to directories.

o Links (Symbolic or Otherwise): Issues related to symbolic and hard links.

o Walking the File Tree: Recursively visiting files and directories.

o Finding Files: Searching for files using pattern matching.

o Watching a Directory for Changes: Detecting added, removed, or updated files.

o Other Useful Methods: Important APIs not covered elsewhere.

Remember that Java I/O is a powerful tool for handling data, whether you’re reading from files,

writing to databases, or interacting with network sockets. 😊🚀

Java Applets and Their Purpose

 An applet is a Java program that can be embedded into a web page.

 It runs inside a web browser and operates on the client-side.

 Applets are embedded in HTML pages using the <applet> or <object> tags and are hosted on
a web server.

 The entire life cycle of an applet is managed by the Applet Container.

 All applets are subclasses (either directly or indirectly) of the java.applet.Applet class.

 Unlike standalone programs, applets run within a web browser or an applet viewer.

Applet Characteristics
 Dynamic Content: Applets generate dynamic content within a web page.
 Client-Side Execution: They execute on the client-side (i.e., within the user’s browser).
 Fast Response Time: Applets provide fast response times.
 Viewing Applets: You can view applets using the standard applet viewer tool called Applet
Viewer.
 Different Execution Flow: Unlike regular Java programs, applet execution doesn’t begin with
a main() method, and the output isn’t handled by System.out.println(). Instead, it uses
various Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) methods, such as drawString().

Stages in the Life Cycle of a Java Applet

1.Initialization (init()):
  When a new applet is created, it enters the new state.

 The init() method is executed only once.

 It initializes the applet (similar to a constructor).

 This is where you set up any initial resources or perform necessary setup.

 Example:

public void init() {

// Initialization code here

2.Starting (start()):

 After init(), the applet enters the runnable state.

 The start() method is invoked.

 It’s executed when the browser is maximized or when the applet viewer starts.

 Example:

public void start() {

// Start executing the applet

3.Painting (paint(Graphics g)):

 The paint() method is used to display content on the applet.

 You can create objects or components within the applet or directly write messages.

 It takes a Graphics object as a parameter.

 Example:

public void paint(Graphics g) {

// Draw shapes, text, or images

4.Stopping (stop()):

 The applet enters the stopped state.

 The stop() method is used to pause or stop the applet.

 Executed when the browser is minimized or when the applet viewer stops.

 Example:

public void stop() {

 // Stop the applet

5.Destroying (destroy()):

 The applet enters the terminated state.

 The destroy() method is used to completely close the applet.

 Executed when the applet is closed.

 Example:

public void destroy() {

// Clean up resources and close the applet

Implementation Options
1. Using HTML File:

o Embed the applet in an HTML file using the <applet> tag.

o Drawback: Requires a Java plugin to run in the browser.

Example:

<HTML>

<applet

code="MyApplet.class"

width="300" height="200">

</applet>

</HTML>

2.Using Applet Viewer Tool:

o Use the applet viewer tool directly to run the applet.

Remember that Java applets have declined in popularity due to security risks and the rise of more

advanced technologies like web-based applications and JavaScript. 😊🌐

Java Applet Code to Display an Image

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.net.URL;
public class ImageApplet extends Applet {
private Image image;
@Override
public void init() {
// Load the image
try {
URL imageUrl = new URL(getCodeBase(), "example.jpg");
image = getImage(imageUrl);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
if (image != null) {
// Draw the image at coordinates (10, 10)
g.drawImage(image, 10, 10, this);
} else {
g.drawString("Image not found", 10, 25);
}
}
}

HTML Code to Embed the Applet

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Image Applet Example</title>

</head>

<body>
 <h1>Java Applet to Display an Image</h1>

<applet code="ImageApplet.class" width="300" height="300">

<param name="example.jpg" value="example.jpg">

</body>

</html>

1. Java is strongly associated with the internet because the first application program written in Java
was HotJava, a browser to run the applet on internet.

2. So, the internet users use the java to create the applet programs and run them locally using a
java-enabled browser’s like HotJava.
3. The users can use the java-enabled browsers to download the applet located on the computer
system anywhere in the internet and run it on their computer.

Advantage of Applet
There are many advantages of applet. They are as follows:

o It works at client side so less response time.

o Secured
o It can be executed by browsers running under many plateforms, including Linux,
Windows, Mac Os etc.

Drawback of Applet
o Plugin is required at client browser to execute applet.

Explanation:

1. Import Statements: Necessary packages for applets, AWT components, and event handling are
imported.
 2. Applet Class: `CalculatorApplet` extends `Applet` and implements `ActionListener`.

3. UI Components:

 `TextField display` for showing the input and output.

 `Button[] numberButtons` for digit buttons.

 `Button` instances for the arithmetic operators, equals, and clear button.

4. Initialization (`init` method):

 Layouts are set using `BorderLayout` and `GridLayout`.

 Buttons are created and added to the panel.

 Event listeners are added to all buttons.

5. Event Handling (`actionPerformed` method):

 Depending on the button pressed, appropriate actions are taken (number input, arithmetic
operations, evaluation, and clear).

String handling is a process of performing different operation such as concatenation, comparison on the string.

Following are the method used in string handling :

1. length()
2. toUpperCase() and toLowerCase()
3. indexOf(String str)
4. concat(String str)
5. charAt(int index)
6. compareTo(String anotherString)
7. equals(Object anObject)
8. replace(char oldChar, char newChar)
9. substring(int beginIndex)
10. substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex)
11. trim()
12. contains(CharSequence sequence)
13. getBytes()
14. toCharArray()
15. isEmpty()
16. hashCode()

Event Handling in Java

An event can be defined as changing the state of an object or behavior by performing actions.
Actions can be a button click, cursor movement, keypress through keyboard or page scrolling, etc.

The java.awt.event package can be used to provide various event classes.

Classification of Events

 Foreground Events

 Background Events
