Java Basics - Simple Notes

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language that is easy to use. Key concepts include setting up Java with the JDK, basic syntax, variables, control flow, methods, object-oriented programming, error handling, collections, and features from Java 8 like lambda expressions and streams. The main method serves as the entry point for Java programs, and System.out.println() is used for output.

Here's a simplified version of the Java class notes:

Java Basics - Simple Notes


1. What is Java?
 Java is a programming language that is easy to use and works on any computer
(platform-independent).
 Java is object-oriented, meaning it focuses on objects and actions (methods).

2. Setting Up Java
 Install Java: Download the JDK (Java Development Kit).
 Use an IDE (like Eclipse or IntelliJ) to write your code.

3. Basic Syntax
 Hello World Example:
 public class HelloWorld {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 System.out.println("Hello, World!");
 }
 }
 This prints "Hello, World!" on the screen.

4. Variables and Data Types


 Data types in Java:
o int: Whole numbers (e.g., 25)
o double: Decimal numbers (e.g., 3.14)
o char: Single character (e.g., 'a')
o boolean: True or false (e.g., true)
 Example of variables:
 int age = 25;
 double price = 10.99;
 boolean isJavaFun = true;
5. Control Flow (Conditions and Loops)
 If-Else:
Checks if something is true or false.
 if (age >= 18) {
 System.out.println("Adult");
 } else {
 System.out.println("Minor");
 }
 For Loop:
Repeats actions multiple times.
 for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
 System.out.println(i);
 }

6. Methods (Functions)
 Method Definition: A method does something and can return a result.
 public static int addNumbers(int a, int b) {
 return a + b;
 }
 Calling the method:
 int result = addNumbers(5, 3);
 System.out.println(result); // Output: 8

7. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)


 Class and Object:
A class is a blueprint for creating objects (things that have properties and actions).
 class Car {
 String model;
 int year;

 public void drive() {
 System.out.println("Driving the " + model);
 }
 }

 public class Main {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 Car myCar = new Car();
 myCar.model = "Toyota";
 myCar.year = 2020;
 myCar.drive();
 }
 }
 Inheritance:
One class can inherit properties and actions from another class.

8. Error Handling (Exceptions)


 If something goes wrong, use try-catch to handle the error.
 try {
 int result = 10 / 0;
 } catch (ArithmeticException e) {
 System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
 }

9. Collections
 ArrayList stores a list of items.
 ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
 list.add("Java");
 list.add("Python");

10. Java 8 Features


 Lambda Expressions:
A shortcut for writing small methods.
 (a, b) -> a + b;
 Streams:
Helps you work with collections of data in a simpler way.
 List<Integer> numbers = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4);
 numbers.stream().filter(n -> n % 2 == 0).forEach(System.out::println);

Key Points:

 Java is case-sensitive.
 The main method is where the program starts.
 System.out.println() is used to print things to the screen.

This version is simpler and easier to understand. Copy this into a text editor and save it as a PDF,
and you'll have your Java notes! Let me know if you need more help!
