Objectives

To be able to:
To be able to differentiate between Structured Oriented
Programming and OOP.
To be able to understand the difference between two
object oriented languages like C++ and JAVA.
To be able to understand the data storage in JVM.
To be able to understand the PATH, CLASSPATH setting.

THE WAY JAVA WORKS


SOURCE -> Compiler
->Output code->Virtual
Machines

WHAT WE DO IN JAVA

Object Oriented Principles


Abstraction Hiding the underlying
implementation
Inheritance Reusing code (
base code)
Polymorphism Changing behaviour
Encapsulation Getters and setters
(Hiding variables or state of objects)

Procedural Vs. Object Oriented


Programming
Procedural Programming
top down design (module ->2 sub-modules-> 3sub-modules..n submodules)
create functions to do small tasks
communicate by parameters and return values
Object-Oriented Programming
design and represent objects
Bottom up design (n classes->create objects for communication
between classes)
determine relationships between objects
determine attributes each object has
determine behaviors' each object will respond to
create objects and send messages to them to use or manipulate their
attributes

Overview

Java - Object-Oriented Programming


Class:
A class is a blueprint, based on which Objects are
constructed.
Object :
An object is an instance of a class. Basically, we
can have any number of objects constructed
from a class with same set of properties
(behaviour)
That is every object of the class has identical
state and behaviour.

Sample HelloWorld App


// HelloWorld.java
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main (String args[]){
System.out.println(Hello World!!);
}
}

How to Set PATH ENV?

IS JAVA WORKING ?

Our Target
Compiling and Running HelloWorld

Compiling HelloWorld.java
javac HelloWorld.java
Running an application
java HelloWorld

Note: Before compile and run the JAVA code need to set the PATH
and CLASSPATH environment variables.

TestGreeting.java
1//
2//Sample"HelloWorld"application
3//
4publicclassTestGreeting{
5publicstaticvoidmain(Stringargs[]){
6Greetinghello=newGreeting("Hello");
7hello.greet("World");
8}
9}
Greeting.java
1//TheGreetingclassdeclaration
2publicclassGreeting{
3privateStringsalutation;
4
5publicGreeting(Strings){
6salutation=s;
7}
8
9publicvoidgreet(Stringwhom){
10System.out.println(salutation+""+whom);
11}
12}

Java Virtual Machine

Most programming languages compile source code directly into machine


code, suitable for execution on a particular microprocessor architecture.

The difference with Java is that it uses bytecode - a special type of machine
code thats why JAVA is compiled and interpreted type of language.

Java bytecode executes on a special type of microprocessor.

Strangely enough, there wasn't a hardware implementation of this


microprocessor available when Java was first released. Instead, the
processor architecture is emulated by what is known as a "virtual machine".

Whole JVM is written in C. Suns JVM are the called


HotSpot JVM,
OpenJDK

Note: For more flavors of Virtual Machines go through with:

JVM Architecture

Where storage lives


The Stack:
The local variables and arguments of a function are allocated
space from the stack.
Though storage for object references may exist on the stack, Java
objects themselves are not placed on the stack.

The Heap:
All Java objects take their storage from the heap
Whenever you need to create an object, you simply write the code
to create it by using new, and the storage is allocated on the heap
when that code is executed.

Where Storage Lives


Method area
Class file Instructions are stored in the
method area.
Static storage contains data that is
available for the entire time a program
is running.
Static keyword is used to specify that a
particular variable is static.
Static storage is in method area.

JVM Architecture

Class Loader

Byte-Code verifier

JVM Architecture

Adaptive Optimizer (interpreter)

JIT Compiler (Compiler + interpreter)


JIT Compiler uses
1. Buffering of function machinecode
2. Execution on demand

JVM Architecture

Garbage Collection
Java has a garbage collector, which looks at all the

objects that were created with new and figures out which
ones are not being referenced anymore. Then it releases
the memory for those objects, so the memory can be
used for new objects.

This means that you never need to worry about freeing

memory yourself.

This eliminates a certain class of programming problem:

the so-called memory leak, in which a programmer


forgets to release memory.

This algorithm is based in mark and seep.

Garbage Collection
Garbage Collection Algorithm
The algorithm performs two basic things:
1. Detect garbage objects.
(maintain a tree of objects)
2. To reclaim heap space.
Some functions available for requesting the garbage
collection: (Gives a suggestion to JVM)
Runtime.getRuntime().gc().
System.gc();
System.gc() simply calls Runtime.getRuntime().gc(). And
Runtime.getRuntime().gc() invokes a native method in the JVM.
