001 - Introduction To Java

This document provides an introduction to the Java programming language. It discusses what Java is, including its origins and key features like being platform independent, object oriented, and having automatic memory management. It also covers setting up the Java development environment, including downloading the Java Development Kit and setting the path variable. An example "Hello World" Java program is provided to demonstrate how to write, compile, and run a basic Java application. Key Java terminology is defined, such as the Java Development Kit, Java Runtime Environment, and Java Virtual Machine.

What is Java?
High level programming language

Originally
developed by Sun Microsystems (now, Oracle),
Which was initiated by James Gosling

Designed with a concept of write once and run anywhere

First version of java released in 1995

Initial name was Greentalk, later renamed to Oak and finally


Java

Java is a Platform

The Java Programming Language

5
Java Language - Buzzwords
Platform Independent (architecture neutral)
◦ Write once run anywhere

Simple
◦ Small language, large libraries

Object Oriented
◦ Supports Abstraction, Encapsulation,
Polymorphism, Inheritance etc.
6
Java Language - Buzzwords..
Auto Garbage Collection
◦ Memory management handled by Java Virtual
Machine

Secure
◦ No memory pointers, program run inside
virtual machine
◦ Java Bytecode verification
◦ Array Index limit checking

7
Java Language – Buzzwords…
Portable
◦ Primitive data type size and their arithmetic
behavior are specified by the language.
◦ Libraries define portable interfaces

Distributed
◦ Libraries for network programming
◦ Remote method invocation

8
Java Language – Buzzwords….
Multithreaded
◦ Easy to create and use

Robust
◦ Strong memory mgmt.

Dynamic
◦ Finding runtime type information is easy.
◦ The linking of data and methods to where they are located, is
done at run-time.
◦ New classes can be loaded while a program is running.
Linking is done on the fly.

9
The Java Platform
Software-only platform that runs on top
of other hardware-based platforms.

Environment in which java program runs.

10
Setup Dev Environment
What do you need to write and run java
program?
◦ Java Development Kit (JDK)
◦ ASCII Text Editor

11
Download JDK
https://www.oracle.com/in/java/technolog
ies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html

Go to the below section, download


platform specific installer

12
Install Steps

Once downloaded (e.g. Jdk-8u261-


windows-x64.exe) , click to install.

Steps for windows JDK will be shown in

Setup
Verify JDK and JRE on your hard disc.

Now, Set the path environment variable as


explained in next slide.

First Java Program
What do you need?
◦ Java Development Kit (JDK)
◦ A Text Editor

Open the notepad, write the following


code and save the file as Hello.java (Let’s
say file is saved as E:/test/Hello.java)
First Java Program
 Now, open command prompt, change directory to the folder where
you have saved your file.
 Compile (javac Hello.java)
 Run (java Hello)
Java Environment
Compilation
◦ Java Compiler translates the java source file
into the class file
◦ Class file contains bytecodes, the “machine
language” of the java Virtual machine (JVM).
◦ This java class file can run on any hardware
platform and Operating System, which hosts
JVM.
Java Environment
Class Loader
◦ Class Loader loads class files into memory.
◦ Class file can be loaded from local disc,
network or over the internet
Java Environment
Bytecode Verifier
◦ It verifies that the bytecodes are valid and
safe.
◦ Does not violate java security restrictions
◦ Checks the internal consistency of the class
and validity of the code
Java Environment
Java Virtual Machine
◦ Translates the byte code into machine code
depending upon the underling operating
system and hardware combination. Which
later executed by processor.
Java Terminology
JDK : Java Development Kit
◦ All you need to develop, compile, debug and run your java
program.

 JRE : Java Runtime Environment


◦ Subset of JDK
◦ Includes Minimum Elements required to run java class file
◦ Does not contain development tools like compiler, debugger
etc.

JVM : Java Virtual Machine


◦ Actually runs the java program and uses the library and other
supporting files provided by JRE
Java Terminology
Points to remember
JavaCompiler, JVM .. All are platform
dependent.

Only java class file (Bytecode) is


platform independent.
