Java Viva Syllabus Summary (BCA 202)

UNIT I - Java Basics

- Java as Object-Oriented Programming Language: Emphasizes concepts like inheritance, encapsulation,

polymorphism.

- History of Java: Developed by Sun Microsystems, released in 1995.

- Difference between Java and C++: Java is platform-independent, lacks pointers, uses garbage collection.

- Java Architecture: Includes JDK, JVM, JRE.

- Java Tokens: Smallest elements of a program - keywords, identifiers, literals, operators, separators.

- Data Types, Literals, Variables: Java is statically typed, uses primitive and non-primitive types.

- Scope and lifetime of variables: Defines where and how long a variable exists.

- Operators, Control Structures: Arithmetic, logical, relational operators; if, switch, loops.

- Arrays: Used to store multiple values in a single variable.

- Creating a Class: Blueprint with properties (fields) and methods (functions).

- Object Access Modifiers: public, private, protected, default.

- Method Overloading: Same method name with different parameters.

- Garbage Collection: Automatic memory management in Java.

- Static, final keywords: static for class-level access, final for constants.

- Wrapper Classes: Convert primitive types to objects (e.g., int to Integer).

- String class and methods: Used to manipulate text data.

UNIT II - Inheritance, Interfaces and Packages

- Inheritance: Mechanism to acquire properties from another class.

- Super keyword: Refers to parent class objects or methods.

- Method Overriding: Redefining a parent method in the child class.

- Covariant return type: Allows overridden method to return subtype.

- Abstract Class: Class that cannot be instantiated; contains abstract methods.


- Interfaces: Collection of abstract methods; used for multiple inheritance.

- Difference between abstract class and interface: Abstract class can have concrete methods; interfaces

cannot (Java 7).

- Packages: Group of related classes and interfaces.

- Importing a Package: Using import keyword to access classes in a package.

Exception Handling

- Exception Class: Base class for all exceptions.

- Built-in Checked and Unchecked Exceptions: Checked (IOException), Unchecked (ArithmeticException).

- User-defined Exceptions: Custom exceptions created by extending Exception class.

- Try-Catch-Throw-Finally: Keywords for handling exceptions in Java.

UNIT III - Using I/O and Multithreading

- Input/Output Streams: Byte and character-based input/output.

- File I/O: Reading/writing files using FileReader, FileWriter.

- Byte Streams: Reads binary data; classes include InputStream, OutputStream.

- Character Streams: Reads character data; classes include Reader, Writer.

- Multithreading Fundamentals: Running multiple threads simultaneously.

- Thread Class and Runnable Interface: Ways to create threads in Java.

- Life Cycle of Thread: New, Runnable, Running, Blocked, Terminated.

- Single and Multiple Threads: Executing one or many threads at a time.

- Thread Methods: start(), run(), sleep(), join(), etc.

- Synchronization: Ensures thread-safe execution using synchronized keyword or blocks.

UNIT IV - Swings and JDBC

- Swing Components: GUI components like JLabel, JButton, JCheckBox, etc.

- Event Handling: Handling user actions using event listeners.


- Layout Managers: Organize components in a GUI (FlowLayout, BorderLayout, etc.).

- Event Sources, Event Listeners, Event Classes: Core concepts in GUI interactivity.

- JDBC Architecture: Java API for connecting and executing queries with databases.

- JDBC Drivers: Types of drivers used to connect Java application to DB.

- Connection, Statement, PreparedStatement, ResultSet: Interfaces to interact with databases.

- Connecting to Database: Steps to establish a connection using JDBC.
