JAVA QUICK REVISION NOTES

1. Class, Object, Method

- Class: Blueprint for creating objects.

Example: class Car { String color; void drive() { } }

- Object: Instance of a class.

Example: Car myCar = new Car();

- Method: Block of code to perform a task.

Example: void drive() { System.out.println("Driving"); }

2. Method Overloading

- Same method name, different parameters.

- Possible for: Constructors, Static Methods, Final Methods.

Example:

void add(int a, int b);

void add(double a, double b);

3. Constructors

- Special method to initialize objects.

- Types: Default, Parameterized, Copy Constructor (manual).

- Rule: Cannot be static or final.

4. Type Conversion vs Type Casting

Type Conversion: Automatic, by compiler.

Type Casting: Manual, by programmer.


Examples:

Type Conversion -> int to double automatically.

Type Casting -> double to int manually.

5. Access Specifiers

public: Everywhere

private: Inside the class

protected: Same package + subclasses

Default: Same package only

6. Platform Independence (Java)

- Compiles to Bytecode.

- JVM executes Bytecode on any OS.

- "Write Once, Run Anywhere".

7. Static, Final and Main Method

- public static void main(String args[])

- public: Accessible everywhere.

- static: No object needed.

- void: No return.

- Main must be static.

8. Web Application Language Choice

- Prefer Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).

- Modular, Secure, Maintainable, Scalable.


9. Immutable String in Java

- String cannot be changed once created.

- Reason: Security, Thread Safety, Memory Efficiency.

Example:

String s = "Hello";

s = "World"; // New object created.

10. Wrapper Classes, Boxing & Unboxing

- Wrapper Class: Converts primitive to object.

- Boxing: Integer i = Integer.valueOf(5);

- Unboxing: int a = i.intValue();

QUICK REVISION FORMULAS

- OOP: Class + Object + Method

- Overloading: Same name, different parameters

- Platform Independence: Bytecode + JVM

- Constructor Rule: No static or final

- Access Specifiers: Public > Protected > Default > Private

ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR EXAMS!
