Introduction to Java
Java is a versatile, object-oriented programming language widely used for building
cross-platform applications.
Key Concepts:
Java Basics:
Syntax: Java's syntax is influenced by C and C++, making it familiar to many developers.
Data Types: Includes primitive types like int, char, float, and boolean.
Variables: Containers for storing data values.
Operators: Symbols that perform operations on variables and values, such as +, -, *, /, and %.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Principles:
Classes and Objects: Classes are blueprints for objects; objects are instances of classes.
Inheritance: Mechanism where one class acquires the properties and behaviors of a parent class.
Polymorphism: Ability of a variable, function, or object to take on multiple forms.
Encapsulation: Wrapping data (variables) and code (methods) together as a single unit.
Abstraction: Hiding complex implementation details and showing only the necessary features.
