Complete Java Learning Guide

1. Introduction to Java

Java is a versatile, platform-independent, object-oriented programming language. It is widely used for

developing web, mobile, and desktop applications. To start learning Java, understand the following:

- JDK (Java Development Kit): Includes tools for developing and running Java programs.

- JRE (Java Runtime Environment): Provides libraries and JVM for running Java applications.

- JVM (Java Virtual Machine): Interprets bytecode into machine code for execution.

Start by setting up your Java environment, installing the JDK, and selecting an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ.

2. Java Syntax Basics

Java programs are made up of classes and methods. The basic structure looks like this:

public class MyClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Hello, World!");

Follow these conventions:

- File name should match the public class name.

- Use semicolons to end statements.

- Enclose blocks of code in curly braces.

3. Data Types and Variables

Java supports several data types:

- Primitive: int, float, char, boolean, etc.

- Non-primitive: Strings, Arrays, Classes, Interfaces.

Example of declaring variables:

int age = 25;

String name = "John";

boolean isStudent = true;

4. Control Flow Statements

Control the flow of your program using:

- Decision-making: if, if-else, switch.

- Loops: for, while, do-while.

- Jump statements: break, continue, return.

Example of a for loop:

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

System.out.println(i);

5. Object-Oriented Programming

Java is based on Object-Oriented Programming principles:

- Encapsulation: Grouping related variables and methods into a class.

- Inheritance: Deriving new classes from existing ones.

- Polymorphism: Using one interface for different data types.

- Abstraction: Hiding implementation details.

Example:

class Vehicle {

void move() {

System.out.println("Vehicle is moving");

class Car extends Vehicle {

void move() {

System.out.println("Car is moving");

6. Advanced Topics

Expand your knowledge by exploring:

- Multithreading: Running multiple threads concurrently.

- File Handling: Reading and writing files.

- Networking: Creating client-server applications.

- JDBC: Connecting Java applications to a database.
