What is Java?

 Java is a Programming language and a Platform

 Any hardware or software environment in which a program runs, known
as a platform. Since Java has its own Runtime Environment (JRE) and API,
it is called platform.
 Java Version
1. JDK Alpha and Beta (1995) JDK 1.0 (23rd Jan, 1996)
2. JDK 1.1 (19th Feb, 1997) J2SE 1.2 (8th Dec, 1998)
3. J2SE 1.3 (8th May, 2000) J2SE 1.4 (6th Feb, 2002)
4. J2SE 5.0 (30th Sep, 2004) Java SE 6 (11th Dec, 2006)
5. Java SE 7 (28th July, 2011)

4
What it is Used?

1. Desktop Applications such as acrobat reader, media player, antivirus etc.

2. Web Applications such as irctc.co.in..etc.
3. Enterprise Applications such as banking applications.
4. Mobile
5. Embedded System
6. Smart Card
7. Robotics
8. Games etc.

5
Types of Java Application?

 There are mainly 4 type of applications that can be created using java:
 1) Standalone Application

It is also known as desktop application or window-based application. An

application that we need to install on every machine such as media
player, antivirus etc. AWT and Swing are used in java for creating
standalone applications.
 2) Web Application

An application that runs on the server side and creates dynamic page, is
called web application. Currently, servlet, jsp, struts, jsf etc. technologies
are used for creating web applications in java.

6
Types of Java Application

 3) Enterprise Application

An application that is distributed in nature, such as banking applications

etc. It has the advantage of high level security, load balancing and
clustering. In java, EJB is used for creating enterprise applications.

 4) Mobile Application

An application that is created for mobile devices. Currently Android and

Java ME are used for creating mobile applications.

7
Brief History of JAVA

 James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton initiated the Java
language project in June 1991.
 originally designed for small, embedded systems in electronic appliances
like set-top boxes.
 initially called Oak and was developed as a part of the Green project
 In 1995, Oak was renamed as "Java". Java is just a name not an acronym.
 originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems(which is now
a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995.
 JDK 1.0 released in(January 23, 1996).

8
Features of Java

 Simple
 Object-Oriented
 Platform Independent
 Secured
 Robust
 Architecture Neutral
 Portable
 High Performance
 Distributed
 Multi-threaded

9
Java is Simple??

 Java is simple in the sense that:

 syntax is based on C++ (so easier for programmers to learn it
after C++).
 removed many confusing and/or rarely-used features e.g.,
explicit pointers, operator overloading etc.
 No need to remove unreferenced objects because there is
Automatic Garbage Collection in java.

10
Java is Object Oriented?

 Object-oriented means we organize our software as a combination of

different types of objects that incorporates both data and behaviour.
 Object-oriented programming(OOPs) is a methodology that simplify
software development and maintenace by providing some rulues.
 Basic concepts of OOPs are:
1. Object
2. Class
3. Inheritance
4. Polymorphism
5. Abstraction
6. Encapsulation

11
Java is Platform Independent?

 A platform is the hardware or software environment in which a program

runs. There are two types of platforms software-based and hardware-
based. Java provides software-based platform. The Java platform differs
from most other platforms in the sense that it's a software-based platform
that runs on top of other hardware-based platforms. It has two
components:
 Runtime Environment & API(Application Programming Interface)
 Java code can be run on multiple platforms e.g. Windows,Linux,Sun
Solaris,Mac/OS etc.
 Java code is compiled by the compiler and converted into bytecode.
 This bytecode is a platform independent code because it can be run on
multiple platforms i.e. Write Once and Run Anywhere(WORA).
12
Platform Independent

13
Java is Secure

 Java is Secured because:

• No explicit pointer
• Programs run inside virtual machine sandbox.
• Class loader- adds security by separating the package for the classes of the
local file system from those that are imported from network sources.
• Byte code Verifier- checks the code fragments for illegal code that can
violate accesss right to objects.
• Security Manager- determines what resources a class can access such as
reading and writing to the local disk.
Some sucurity can also be provided by through SSL, JAAS,cryptography
etc.
14
Java is Robust

Java is Robust because -

 Robust simply means strong. Java uses strong memory
management. There are lack of pointers that avoids security
problem. There is automatic garbage collection in java. There is
exception handling and type checking mechanism in java. All these
points makes java robust.
 Architecture-neutral
 There is no implementation dependent features e.g. size of
primitive types is set.

15
C++ Program Execution

16
Java Program Execution

17
Portable High-Performance Distributed

 Portable

We may carry the java byte code to any platform.

 High-performance

Java is faster than traditional interpretation since byte code is "close" to

native code still somewhat slower than a compiled language (e.g., C++)
 Distributed

We can create distributed applications in java. RMI and EJB are used for
creating distributed applications. We may access files by calling the
methods from any machine on the internet.

18
Multi-Threaded

 Multi-threaded

A thread is like a separate program, executing concurrently. We can write

Java programs that deal with many tasks at once by defining multiple
threads. The main advantage of multi-threading is that it shares the same
memory. Threads are important for multi-media, Web applications etc.

19
Hello Word Java Program!!

 Requirement for Hello Java Example

For executing any java program, you need to

• create the java program.
• install the JDK if you don't have installed it You may also use the eclipse
different version.
• set path of the bin directory under jdk. In Case of Eclipse you may also do
the same.
• compile and execute the program.

20
Hello Word Java Program!!

Creating hello java example

Let's create the hello java program:
class Simple{
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("Hello Java")
}
}
save this file as Simple.java

21
Understanding First Java Program

 class is used to declare a class in java.

 public is an access modifier which represents visibility, it means it is visible
to all.
 static is a keyword, if we declare any method as static, it is known as static
method. The core advantage of static method is that there is no need to
create object to invoke the static method. The main method is executed
by the JVM, so it doesn't require to create object to invoke the main
method. So it saves memory.
 void is the return type of the method, it means it doesn't return any
value.

22
Understanding First Java Program

 main represents startup of the program.

 String[] args is used for command line argument. We will learn it later.
 System.out.println() is used print statement.

To write the simple program, open notepad and write simple program as
displayed below:

23
Understanding First Java Program

24
Understanding First Java Program

 write the simple program of java in notepad and saved it as Simple.java.

 To compile and run this program, you need to open command prompt by
start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> command prompt.-> set path
To compile:

javac Simple.java
To execute:

java Simple
Output: Hello Java

25
What happen at Compile Time?

 At compile time, java file is compiled by Java Compiler (It does not interact
with OS) and converts the java code into bytecode.

26
Step follow at Compile Time..

27
How many ways, we can write a java program?

There are many ways to write a java program. The modifications that can be done
in a java program are given below:
1) By changing sequence of the modifiers, method prototype is not changed.
Let's see the simple code of main method.
static public void main(String args[])
2) subscript notation in java array can be used after type, before variable or after
variable.
Let's see the different codes to write the main method.
public static void main(String[] args)
public static void main(String []args)
public static void main(String args[])

28
How many ways, we can write a java program?

3) You can provide var-args support to main method by passing 3 ellipses

(dots)
Let's see the simple code of using var-args in main method. We will learn
about var-args later in Java New Features chapter.
public static void main(String... args)
4) Having semicolon at the end of class in java is optional.
Let's see the simple code.
class A{
static public void main(String... args){
System.out.println("hello java4"); } };

29
How to Set Permanent Path of JDK?

 Class loader: is the subsystem of JVM that is used to load class files.
 Bytecode Verifier: checks the code fragments for illegal code that can
violate accesss right to objects.
 Interpreter: read bytecode stream then execute the instructions.
 Setting Permanent Path of JDK in Windows:
 For setting the permanent path of JDK, you need to follow these steps:
 Go to MyComputer properties -> advanced tab -> environment variables -
> new tab of user variable -> write path in variable name -> write path of
bin folder in variable value -> ok -> ok -> ok

30
How to Set Permanent Path of JDK?

 Click on new tab of user variables

 write path in variable name
 Copy the path of bin folder
 Paste path of bin folder in variable value
 Click on ok button
 Click on ok button
 Now your permanent path is set. You can now execute any program of
java from any drive.

31
Difference between JDK,JRE and JVM

 Difference between JDK,JRE and JVM

1. Brief summary of JVM
2. Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
3. Java Development Kit (JDK)
 JVM
 JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is an Abstract Machine. It is a specification
that provides runtime environment in which java bytecode can be
executed.
 JVMs are available for many hardware and software platforms (i.e.JVM is
plateform dependent).

32
Difference between JDK,JRE and JVM

The JVM performs four main tasks:

 Loads code
 Verifies code
 Executes code
 Provides runtime environment

JRE
 JRE is an acronym for Java Runtime Environment. It is used to provide
runtime environment. It is the implementation of JVM. It physically Exists.
It contains set of libraries + other files that JVM uses at runtime.

33
Difference between JDK,JRE and JVM

34
Difference between JDK,JRE and JVM

 JDK
 JDK is an acronym for Java Development Kit. It physically exists. It contains
JRE + development tools.

35
JVM (Java Virtual Machine)

JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is an abstract machine. It is a specification that

provides runtime environment in which java bytecode can be executed.
 JVMs are available for many hardware and software platforms (i.e.JVM is
plateform dependent).
The JVM performs four main tasks:
 Loads code
 Verifies code
 Executes code
 Provides runtime environment

36
JVM (Java Virtual Machine)

JVM provides definitions for the:

 Memory area
 Class file format
 Register set
 Garbage-collected heap
 Fatal error reporting etc.

37
Internal Architecture of Java

38
Internal Architecture of Java

1) Classloader: Class loader is a subsystem of JVM it is used to load class files.

2) Class(Method) Area: stores per-class structures such as the runtime
constant pool, field and method data, the code for methods.
3) Heap: It is the runtime data area in which objects are allocated.
4) Stack: Java Stack stores frames. It holds local variables and partial results,
and plays a part in method invocation and return. Each thread has a
private JVM stack, created at the same time as thread.
A new frame is created each time a method is invoked. A frame is
destroyed when its method invocation completes.
5) Program Counter Register: PC (program counter) register. It contains the
address of the Java virtual machine instruction currently being executed.

39
Internal Architecture of Java

6) Native Method Stack:

It contains all the native methods used in the application.
7) Execution Engine:
It contains:
1) A virtual processor
2) Interpreter: Read byte code stream then execute the instructions.
3) Just-In-Time(JIT) compiler:It is used to improve the performance.JIT
compiles parts of the byte code that have similar functionality at the same
time, and hence reduces the amount of time needed for compilation.
Here the term ?compiler? refers to a translator from the instruction set of
a Java virtual machine (JVM) to the instruction set of a specific CPU.
40
Variable Declaration and Operator

Program of swapping two numbers without using third variable.

class SwapTwoNumbers{
public static void main(String args[]){
int a=40,b=5;
a=a*b;
b=a/b;
a=a/b;
System.out.println("a= "+a);
System.out.println("b= "+b); } }

41
Java OOPs Concepts

 OOPs (Object Oriented Programming System)

 Object means a real word entity such as pen, chair, table etc.
 Object-Oriented Programming is a methodology or paradigm to design a
program using classes and objects. It simplifies the software development
and maintenance by providing some concepts:
 Object
 Class
 Inheritance
 Polymorphism
 Abstraction & Encapsulation

42
Advantage of OOPs over Procedure-oriented
programming language

1) OOPs makes development and maintenance easier where as in Procedure-

oriented programming language it is not easy to manage if code grows as
project size grows.
2) OOPs provides data hiding whereas in Procedure-oriented prgramming
language a global data can be accessed from anywhere.
3) OOPs provides ability to simulate real-world event much more effectively.
We can provide the solution of real word problem if we are using the
Object-Oriented Programming language.

43
What is difference between object-oriented programming
language and object-based programming language?

 Object based programming language follows all the features of OOPs

except Inheritance. JavaScript and VBScript are examples of object based
programming lang
 usages.

44
Naming convention

 Naming convention

A naming convention is a rule to follow as you decide what to name your

identifiers (e.g. class, package, variable, method, etc.), but it is not
mandatory to follow that is why it is known as convention not rule.
 Advantage:

By using standard Java naming conventions they make their code easier to
read for themselves and for other programmers. Readability of Java code
is important because it means less time is spent trying to figure out what
the code does.

45
Naming Convention

 Class Name - should begin with uppercase letter and be a noun

e.g. String, System,Thread etc.

 Interface name -should begin with uppercase letter and be an adjective
(whereever possible). e.g. Runnable, ActionListener etc.
 Method name - should begin with lowercase letter and be a verb.

e.g. main(),print(),println(),actionPerformed() etc.

 variable name - should begin with lowercase letter

e.g. firstName,orderNumber etc.

 Package name- should be in lowercase letter. e.g. java,lang,sql,util etc.
 constants name - should be in uppercase letter.

e.g. RED,YELLOW,MAX_PRIORITY etc.

46
Object and Class (Object-Oriented Programming)

Object and Class (Object-Oriented Programming)

1. Object
2. Class
3. Instance Variable
4. Method
5. Advantage of Method
6. new keyword
7. Example of Object and class that maintains the records of student
8. Different ways to create an object in java
9. Anonymous Object
10.Creating multiple objects by one type
47
Object

 Object
 A runtime entity that has state and behaviour is known as an object. For
example: chair, table, pen etc. It can be tengible or intengible (physical or
logical).
 An object has three characteristics:
 state: represents the data of an object.
 behavior: represents the behavior of an object.
 identity: Object identity is typically implemented via a unique ID. The
value of the ID is not visible to the external user, but is used internally by
the JVM to identify each object uniquely.

48
Class

 For Example: Pen is an object. Its name is Reynolds, color is white etc.
known as its state. It is used to write, so writing is its behavior.
 Object is an instance of a class. Class is a template or blueprint from
which objects are created. So object is the instance(result) of a class.
Class - A class is a group of objects that have common property.
It is a template or blueprint from which objects are created.
 A class in java can contain: Data member
 Method
 Constructor
 Block

49
Syntax of Class declaration

Syntax to declare a class:

class <class_name>
{
data member;
method;
}
 We are creating the object of the Student class by new keyword and
printing the objects value.

50
Simple Example of Object and Class

class Student {
int id; //data member (also instance variable)
String name; //data member(also instance variable)
public static void main(String args[])
{
Student s1=new Student(); //creating an object of Student
System.out.println(s1.id+" "+s1.name);
}
} Output: 0 null

51
Simple Example of Object and Class

Instance variable
A variable that is created inside the class but outside the method, is
known as instance variable.Instance variable doesn't get memory at
compile time.It gets memory at runtime when object(instance) is
created.That is why, it is known as instance variable.
Method
In java, a method is like function i.e. used to expose behaviour of an object.
Advantage of Method
Code Reusability & Code Optimization
new keyword - The new keyword is used to allocate memory at runtime.

52
Example of Object and class that maintains the
records of students

 In this example, we are creating the two objects of Student class and
initializing the value to these objects by invoking the insertRecord method
on it. Here, we are displaying the state (data) of the objects by invoking
the displayInformation method.
class Student {
int rollno;
String name;
void insertRecord(int r, String n) { //method
rollno=r;
name=n;
}

53
Example of Object and class that
maintains the records of students

void displayInformation() { System.out.println(rollno+" "+name);}//method

public static void main(String args[]) {
Student s1=new Student();
Student s2=new Student();
s1.insertRecord(111,"Karan");
s2.insertRecord(222,"Aryan");
s1.displayInformation();
s2.displayInformation();
} }
Output: 111 Karan
222 Aryan

54
Diagram View

object gets the memory in Heap area and reference variable refers to the object
allocated in the Heap memory area. Here, s1 and s2 both are reference variables
that refer to the objects allocated in memory.

55
Another Example

class Rectangle {
int length;
int width;
void insert(int l,int w){
length=l;
width=w;
}
void calculateArea(){System.out.println(length*width);}
public static void main(String args[]) {

56
 Rectangle r1=new Rectangle();
Rectangle r2=new Rectangle();
r1.insert(11,5);
r2.insert(3,15);
r1.calculateArea();
r2.calculateArea();
}
}
Output:55

57
Different ways to create an object in Java?

What are the different ways to create an object in Java?

There are many ways to create an object in java.
They are:
 By new keyword
 By newInstance() method
 By clone() method
 By factory method etc.

Annonymous object
 Annonymous simply means nameless. An object that have no reference is
known as annonymous object.

58
Anonymous Object is Use only Once.

class Calculation{
void fact(int n){
int fact=1;
for(int i=1;i<=n;i++){
fact=fact*i;
}
System.out.println("factorial is "+fact);
}
public static void main(String args[]){
new Calculation().fact(5); //calling method with annonymous object
} } Output: Factorial is 120
59
Method Overloading in Java

1. Different ways to overload the method ?

 By changing the no. of arguments
 By changing the datatype

2. Why method overloading is not possible by changing the return type?

3. Can we overload the main method?
method overloading with Type Promotion?
 If a class have multiple methods by same name but different
parameters, it is known as Method Overloading

60
Method Overloading in Java

 If we have to perform only one operation, having the same name of the
methods increases the readability of the program.
 Advantage of method overloading?

Method overloading increases the readability of the program.

Different ways to overload the method
There are two ways to overload the method in java
 By changing number of arguments
 By changing the data type
Note: In java, Method Overloading is not possible by changing return type of the
method.

61
Example of Method Overloading by
changing the no. of arguments

 In this example, we have created two overloaded methods, first sum

method performs addition of two numbers and second sum method
performs addition of three numbers.
class Calculation{
void sum(int a,int b){System.out.println(a+b);}
void sum(int a,int b,int c){System.out.println(a+b+c);}
public static void main(String args[]){
Calculation obj=new Calculation();
obj.sum(10,10,10);
obj.sum(20,20);
}
} Output: 30 40

62
Why Method Overloading is not possible by
changing the return type of method?

In java, method overloading is not possible by changing the return type of the method
because there may occur ambiguity. Let's see how ambiguity may occur:
class Calculation { int sum(int a,int b) { System.out.println(a+b); }
double sum(int a,int b)
{
System.out.println(a+b);
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
Calculation obj=new Calculation();
int result=obj.sum(20,20); //Compile Time Error } }
int result=obj.sum(20,20); //Here how can java determine which sum() method
should be called

63
Can we overload main() method?

 Can we overload main() method?

Yes, by method overloading. You can have any number of main methods in a
class by method overloading.
class Simple
{
public static void main(int a)
{
System.out.println(a);
}
public static void main(String rags[])
{
System.out.println("main() method invoked");
main(10);
} }
Output: main() method invoked 10

64
Method Overloading and TypePromotion

65
Method Overloading and TypePromotion

 Example of Method Overloading with TypePromotion

class Calculation { void sum(int a,long b)

{ System.out.println(a+b); }
void sum(int a,int b,int c) { System.out.println(a+b+c); }
public static void main(String args[])
{
Calculation obj=new Calculation(); obj.sum(20,20); / /now second int literal
will be promoted to long
obj.sum(20,20,20); }}
Output:40 60 If the matching Type Argument give the compiler Error
66
Constructor

1. Types of constructors
 Default Constructor
 Parameterized Constructor
2. Constructor Overloading
3. Does constructor return any value ?
4. Copying the values of one object into another?
5. Does constructor perform other task instead initialization?

67
Constructor

 Constructor is a special type of method that is used to initialize the

state of an object.
 Constructor is invoked at the time of object creation.
 It constructs the values i.e. data for the object that is why it is known
as constructor.
 Constructor is just like the instance method but it does not have any
explicit return type.

Rules for creating constructor

 There are basically two rules defined for the constructor.
1. Constructor name must be same as its class name
2. Constructor must have no explicit return type

68
Types of constructors

Types of constructors
There are two types of constructors:
 default constructor (no-arg constructor)
 parameterized constructor

69
Default Constrcture

1) Default Constructor
 A constructor that have no parameter is known as default constructor.

Syntax of default constructor:

<class_name>(){} Example of default constructor
 In this example, we are creating the no-arg constructor in the Bike class. It
will be invoked at the time of object creation.
 //example of default constructor

class Bike { Bike() { System.out.println("Bike is created");}

public static void main(String args[]){ Bike b=new Bike(); } }
Output:Bike is created 0 and null values are provided by default
constructor.
70
No Constructer in Class Automatically
created By Comipler

71
Parameterized Constructor

Parameterized constructor
A constructor that have parameter is known as parameterized
constructor.
Why use parameterized constructor?
Parameterized constructor is used to provide different values to the
distinct objects.
Example of parameterized constructor
In this example, we have created the constructor of Student class that
have two parameters. We can have any number of parameters in the
constructor.

72
Example

class Student{
int id;
String name;
Student(int i,String n){
id = i;
name = n;
}
void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}
public static void main(String args[]){
Student s1 = new Student(111,"Karan");
Student s2 = new Student(222,"Aryan");
s1.display();
s2.display(); } } Output:111 Karan 222 Aryan

73
Constructor Overloading

Constructor Overloading
 Constructor overloading is a technique in Java in which a class can have any
number of constructors that differ in parameter lists. The compiler
differentiates these constructors by taking into account the number of
parameters in the list and their type.
 Example of Constructor Overloading
 //Program of constructor overloading

class Student
{ int id; String name; int age;

74
Constructor Overloading Example

Student(int i,String n)
{ id = i; name = n; }
Student(int i,String n,int a)
{ id = i; name = n; age=a; }
void display()
{ System.out.println(id+" "+name+" "+age);}
public static void main(String args[]){
Student s1 = new Student(111,"Karan");
Student s2 = new Student(222,"Aryan",25); s1.display();
s2.display(); }} Output:1 11 Karan 0 222 Aryan 25

75
What is the difference between constructor and
method ?

Constructor vs Method
 Constructor is used to initialize the state of an object.
 Method is used to expose behavior of an object.
 Constructor must not have return type.
 Method must have return type.
 Constructor is invoked implicitly.
 Method is invoked explicitly.
 The java compiler provides a default constructor if you don't have any constructor.
 Method is not provided by compiler in any case.
 Constructor name must be same as the class name.
 Method name may or may not be same as class name.

76
Copying the values of one object to another like copy
constructor in C++

Does constructor return any value?

 Ans: yes,that is current class instance (You cannot use return type yet it
returns a value).
 Copying the values of one object to another like copy constructor in C++

There are many ways to copy the values of one object into another. They are:
 By constructor
 By assigning the values of one object into another
 By clone() method of Object class
 In this example, we are going to copy the values of one object into another
using constructor.

77
Example

 //Program of Copying the values of one object to another

class Student{
int id;
String name;

Copying the values of one object to another
without constructor

 Copying the values of one object to another without constructor

 We can copy the values of one object into another by assigning the objects
values to another object. In this case, there is no need to create the
constructor.
 //Anoter program of Copying the values of one object to another

class Student{ int id; String name;

Student(int i,String n) { id = i; name = n; }
void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}
public static void main(String args[]){
Student s1 = new Student(111,"Karan");
Student s2 = new Student();

s2.id=s1.id;
s2.name=s1.name;
s1.display();
s2.display();
}
}

Can constructor perform other tasks instead of initialization?
 Yes, like object creation, starting a thread, calling method etc. You can perform
any operation in the constructor as you perform in the method.

Static variable

 The static keyword is used in java mainly for memory management. We may apply
static keyword with variables, methods and blocks. The static keyword belongs to
the class than instance of the class.
The static can be:
 variable (also known as class variable)
 method (also known as class method)
 block
 1) static variable
 If you declare any variable as static, it is known static variable.
 The static variable can be used to refer the common property of all objects (that is
not unique for each object) e.g. company name of employees, college name of
students etc.

83
Advantages Of Static variable

 The static variable gets memory only once in class area at the time of class loading.
 Advantage of static variable
 It makes your program memory efficient (i.e it saves memory).
 Understanding problem without static variable
 class Student { int rollno; String name; String college="ITS";}
 Suppose there are 500 students in my college, now all instance data members will
get memory each time when object is created.
 All student have its unique rollno and name so instance data member is good.
Here, college refers to the common property of all objects.
 If we make it static, this field will get memory only once. Note:static field is shared
by all objects.

84
Example of static variable

Example of static variable

//Program of static variable
class Student{
int rollno;
String name; static String college ="ITS";
Student(int r,String n){
rollno = r; name = n;
}
void display (){System.out.println(rollno+" "+name+" "+college);}
public static void main(String args[]){
Student s1 = new Student (111,"Karan"); Student s2 = new Student (222,"Aryan");
s1.display(); s2.display(); } }
Output:111 Karan ITS 222 Aryan ITS

Program of counter without static variable

Program of counter without static variable

 In this example, we have created an instance variable named count which is
incremented in the constructor. Since instance variable gets the memory at the
time of object creation, each object will have the copy of the instance variable, if it
is incremented, it won't reflect to other objects. So each objects will have the
value 1 in the count variable.

 class Counter{int count=0; //will get memory when instance is created

 Counter(){ count++; System.out.println(count); }
 public static void main(String args[]){
 Counter c1=new Counter();
 Counter c2=new Counter();
 Counter c3=new Counter(); }} Output:1 1 1

87
Program of counter by static variable

Program of counter by static variable

As we have mentioned above, static variable will get the memory only once, if any
object changes the value of the static variable, it will retain its value.
class Counter{
static int count=0; //will get memory only once and retain its value
Counter(){ count++; System.out.println(count); }
public static void main(String args[]){
Counter c1=new Counter(); Counter c2=new Counter(); Counter c3=new Counter();
}}
Output: 1 2 3

88
static method

2) static method
If you apply static keyword with any method, it is known as static method.
• A static method belongs to the class rather than object of a class.
• A static method can be invoked without the need for creating an instance of a class.
• static method can access static data member and can change the value of it.
Example of static method
//Program of changing the common property of all objects(static field).
class Student{
int rollno; String name; static String college = "ITS";
static void change(){ college = “SNJB"; }

89
Example of static method

Student(int r, String n){

rollno = r; name = n; }
void display () {System.out.println(rollno+" "+name+" "+college);}
public static void main(String args[]){
Student.change();
Student s1 = new Student (111,"Karan");
Student s2 = new Student (222,"Aryan");
Student s3 = new Student (333,"Sonoo");
s1.display(); s2.display(); s3.display(); } }
Output:111 Karan SNJB 222 Aryan SNJB 333 Sonoo SNJB

Restrictions for static method

Restrictions for static method

There are two main restrictions for the static method. They are:
1. The static method can not use non static data member or call non-static
method directly.
2. this and super cannot be used in static context.
//Program of accessing non-static data member directly from static method main
class A{
int a=40; //non static
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println(a); } } Output: Compile Time Error

91
why main method is static?

 why main method is static?

Ans) because object is not required to call static method if it were non-
static method, jvm creates object first then call main() method that will
lead the problem of extra memory allocation.
3) static block:
 Is used to initialize the static data member.
 It is executed before main method at the time of class loading.

92
Example of static block

Example of static block

 //Program of static block

class A
{ static{System.out.println("static block is invoked");}
public static void main(String args[])
{ System.out.println("Hello main"); }}
Output:static block is invoked Hello main
 Can we execute a program without main() method?

Ans) Yes, one of the way is static block but in previous version of JDK not
in JDK 1.7.

93
this keyword

1. this keyword
2. Usage of this keyword
 to refer the current class instance variable
 to invoke the current class constructor
 to invoke the current class method
 to pass as an argument in the method call
 to pass as an argument in the constructor call
 to return the current class instance

3. Proving this keyword

94
Usage of this keyword

 Usage of this keyword

 Here is given the 6 usage of this keyword.
 this keyword can be used to refer current class instance variable.
 this() can be used to invoke current class constructor.
 this keyword can be used to invoke current class method (implicitly)
 this can be passed as an argument in the method call.
 this can be passed as argument in the constructor call.
 this keyword can also be used to return the current class instance.

Suggestion:If you are beginner to java, lookup only two usage of this
keyword.
95
Usage of this keyword

96
this keyword usages

1) The this keyword can be used to refer current class instance variable.
If there is ambiguity between the instance variable and parameter, this keyword
resolves the problem of ambiguity.
Understanding the problem without this keyword
Let's understand the problem if we don't use this keyword by the example given
c lass student{
int id; String name; student(int id,String name){ id = id; name = name; }
void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}
public static void main(String args[]){
student s1 = new student(111,"Karan"); student s2 = new student(321,"Aryan");
s1.display(); s2.display(); } } Output:0 null 0 null

97
Solution of the above problem by this keyword

In the above example, parameter (formal arguments) and instance variables are
same that is why we are using this keyword to distinguish between local variable
and instance variable.
Solution of the above problem by this keyword
class Student{ int id; String name;
student(int id,String name) { this.id = id; this.name = name; }
void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}
public static void main(String args[]){
Student s1 = new Student(111,"Karan"); Student s2 = new Student(222,"Aryan");
s1.display(); s2.display(); }} Output:111 Karan 222 Aryan

98
Program where this keyword is not required

If local variables(formal arguments) and instance variables are different, there is

no need to use this keyword like in the following program:
Program where this keyword is not required
class Student{ int id; String name;
student(int i,String n){ id = i; name = n; }
void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}
public static void main(String args[]){
Student e1 = new Student(111,"karan"); Student e2 = new Student(222,"Aryan");
e1.display(); e2.display(); } }
Output:111 Karan 222 Aryan

99
this() invoke current class constructor

2) this() can be used to invoked current class constructor.

The this() constructor call can be used to invoke the current class constructor. This
approach is better if you have many constructors in the class and want to reuse
that constructor.
Program of this() constructor call
class Student{ int id; String name;
Student (){System.out.println("default constructor is invoked");}
Student(int id,String name){
this (); //it is used to invoked current class constructor.
this.id = id; this.name = name; }

100
Example

void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}

public static void main(String args[]){
Student e1 = new Student(111,"karan");
Student e2 = new Student(222,"Aryan");
e1.display(); e2.display();
} }
Output:
default constructor is invoked default constructor is invoked
111 Karan 222 Aryan

101
Where to use this() constructor call?

Where to use this() constructor call?

 The this() constructor call should be used to reuse the constructor in the
constructor. it maintains the chain between the constructors i.e. it is used for
constructor chaining. Let's see the example given below that displays the actual
use of this keyword.
class Student{ int id; String name; String city; Student(int id,String name){
this.id = id; this.name = name; } //this always write first statement else give
compile time error
Student(int id,String name,String city){
this(id,name); //now no need to initialize id and name
this.city=city; }

102
Example

void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name+" "+city);}

public static void main(String args[]){
Student e1 = new Student(111,"karan");
Student e2 = new Student(222,"Aryan","delhi");
e1.display();
e2.display();
} }
Output:111 Karan null 222 Aryan delhi

103
this keyword invoke the current class
method (implicitly)

3)The this keyword can be used to invoke current class method (implicitly).
You may invoke the method of the current class by using the this keyword. If you
don't use the this keyword, compiler automatically adds this keyword while
invoking the method.
class S{ void m(){ System.out.println("method is invoked"); }
void n(){ this.m(); //no need because compiler does it for you. }
void p(){ n(); //complier will add this to invoke n() method as this.n()
}
public static void main(String args[]){
S s1 = new S(); s1.p(); } } Output:method is invoked

104
Compiler add this keyword ( implicitly )

105
this keyword passed as an argument in
the method
4) The this keyword can be passed as an argument in the method.
The this keyword can also be passed as an argument in the method. It is mainly used in the event
handling.
class S { void m(S obj){ System.out.println("method is invoked"); }
void p(){ m(this); }
public static void main(String args[]){
S s1 = new S();
s1.p();
} }
Output: method is invoked
Application of this that can be passed as an argument: In event handling (or) in a situation where we have
to provide reference of a class to another one.

106
this keyword can be passed as argument in the
constructor call

5) The this keyword can be passed as argument in the constructor call.

We can pass the this keyword in the constructor also. It is useful if we have to use
one object in multiple classes. Let's see the example:
class B{ A obj; B(A obj){ this.obj=obj; }
void display(){ System.out.println(obj.data); //using data member of A class
} }
class A{ int data=10; A(){ B b=new B(this); b.display(); }
public static void main(String args[]){
A a=new A();
} }
Output:10

107
this keyword can be used to return current
class instance.
6) The this keyword can be used to return current class instance.
We can return the this keyword as an statement from the method. In such case,
return type of the method must be the class type (non-primitive). Let's see the
Syntax of this that can be returned as a statement
return_type method_name() { return this; }
Example of this keyword that you return as a statement from the method
class A{ A getA(){ return this; } void msg(){System.out.println("Hello java");} }
class Test{
public static void main(String args[]){
new A().getA().msg();
} } Output:Hello java

108
Inheritance (Object-Oriented Programming)

 Inheritance (Object-Oriented Programming)

1. Inheritance
2. Types of Inheritance
3. Why multiple inheritance is not possible in java in case of class?
 Inheritance is a mechanism in which one object acquires all the properties and
behaviors of parent object.
 The idea behind inheritance is that you can create new classes that are built upon
existing classes. When you inherit from an existing class, you reuse (or inherit)
methods and fields, and you add new methods and fields to adapt your new class
to new situations. Inheritance represents the IS-A relationship.
Why use Inheritance?
 For Method Overriding (So Runtime Polymorphism).
 For Code Reusability.
109
Syntax of inheritance

 Syntax of Inheritance
class Subclass-name extends Superclass-name { //methods and fields}
 The keyword extends indicates that you are making a new class that derives from
an existing class. In the terminology of Java, a class that is inherited is called a
super class.
 The new class is called a subclass.

110
Example of inheritance

class Employee{ int salary=40000; }

class Programmer extends Employee{
int bonus=10000;
Public Static void main(String args[]){
Programmer p=new Programmer();
System.out.println("Programmer salary is:"+p.salary);
System.out.println("Bonus of Programmer is:"+p.bonus);
} }
Output:Programmer salary is:40000 Bonus of programmer is:10000
In the above example, Programmer object can access the field of own class as well
as of Employee class i.e. code reusability.

111
Types of Inheritance:

112
Multiple inheritance is not supported in java in
case of class.

Multiple inheritance is not supported in java in case of class.

 When a class extends two classes i.e. known as multiple inheritance.
Why multiple inheritance is not supported in java?
 To reduce the complexity and simplify the language,multiple inheritance is not
supported in java.For Example:

113
Aggregation in Java

 If a class have an entity reference, it is known as Aggregation.

 Aggregation represents HAS-A relationship.
 Consider a situation, Employee object contains many informations such as id,
name, emailId etc. It contains one more object named address, which contains its
own informations such as city, state, country, zipcode etc. as given below.
 class Employee { int id; String name; Address address; //Address is a class...}
 In such case, Employee has an entity reference address, so relationship is
Employee HAS-A address.
Why use Aggregation?
 For Code Reusability.

114
Simple Example of Aggregation

In this example, we have created the reference of Operation class in the

Circle class.
class Operation{ int square(int n){ return n*n; } }
class Circle{
Operation op; //aggregation
double pi=3.14; double area(int radius){ op=new Operation();
int rsquare=op.square(radius); / /code reusability (i.e. delegates the method call).
return pi*rsquare; }
public static void main(String args[]){ Circle c=new Circle(); double result=c.area(5);

System.out.println(result); } } Output:78.5

115
When use Aggregation?

 When use Aggregation?

 Code reuse is also best achieved by aggregation when there is no is-a
relationship.
 Inheritance should be used only if the relationship is-a is maintained
throughout the lifetime of the objects involved; otherwise, aggregation is
the best choice
 Understanding meaningful example of Aggregation
 In this example, Employee has an object of Address, address object
contains its own informations such as city, state, country etc. In such case
relationship is Employee HAS-A address.

116
Example

Address.java
public class Address { String city, state, country;
public Address (String city, String state, String country)
{ super(); this.city = city; this.state = state; this.country = country;} }
Emp.java
public class Emp {int id; String name; Address address;
public Emp(int id, String name,Address address)
{ this.id = id; this.name = name; this.address=address; } void display()
{System.out.println(id+"+name);
System.out.println(address.city+" "+address.state+" "+address.country);}

117
Example

public static void main(String[] args)

{Address address1=new Address("gzb","UP","india");
Address address2=new Address("gno","UP","india");
Emp e=new Emp(111,"varun",address1);
Emp e2=new Emp(112,"arun",address2);
e.display();e2.display(); }}

118
Method Overriding in Java

1. Understanding problem without method overriding

2. Can we override the static method
3. method overloading vs method overriding
 Having the same method in the subclass as declared in the parent class is
known as method overriding. If a subclass provides a specific
implementation of a method that is already provided by its super class, it
is known as Method Overriding.
 Advantage of Method Overriding
 Method Overriding is used to provide specific implementation of a
method that is already provided by its super class.
 Method Overriding is used for Runtime Polymorphism

119
Rules for Method Overriding

Rules for Method Overriding:

1. method must have same name as in the parent class
2. method must have same parameter as in the parent class.
Understanding the problem without mehtod overriding
Let's understand the problem that we may face in the program if we don't use
method overriding. //Problem without method overriding
class Vehicle{ void run(){System.out.println("Vehicle is running");} }
class Bike extends Vehicle{ public static void main(String args[]){
Bike obj = new Bike(); obj.run(); }
} Output: Vehicle is running
Problem is that I have to provide a specific implementation of run() method in
subclass that is why we use method overriding.
120
Example of method overriding

Example of method overriding

In this example, we have defined the run method in the subclass as defined in the
parent class but it has some specific implementation. The name and parameter of
the method is same and there is IS-A relationship between the classes, so there is
method overriding.
//Example of method overriding
class Vehicle{ void run(){System.out.println("Vehicle is running");} }
class Bike extends Vehicle{ void run(){System.out.println("Bike is running safely");}
public static void main(String args[]){ Bike obj = new Bike(); obj.run(); } }
Output:Bike is running safely

121
Difference between method Overloading
and Method Overriding.

 Can we override static method?

No, static method cannot be overridden. It can be proved by runtime

polymorphism so we will learn it later.
 Why we cannot override static method?

because static method is bound with class whereas instance method is

bound with object. Static belongs to class area and instance belongs to
heap area.
 Difference between method Overloading and Method Overriding.
 There are three basic differences between the method overloading and
method overriding. They are as follows:

122
Difference between method Overloading
and Method Overriding.
 Method Overloading vs Method Overriding
1) Method overloading is used to increase the readability of the program.
Method overriding is used to provide the specific implementation of the
method that is already provided by its super class.
2) method overlaoding is performed within a class.
Method overriding occurs in two classes that have IS-A relationship.
3) In case of method overloading parameter must be different.
In case of method overriding parameter must be same.

123
super keyword

super keyword:
 super is a reference variable that is used to refer immediate parent class
object.
Uses of super Keyword:
 super is used to refer immediate parent class instance variable.
 super() is used to invoke immediate parent class constructor.
 super is used to invoke immediate parent class method.

124
Problem without super keyword

1. super is used to refer immediate parent class instance variable.

Problem without super keyword
class Vehicle{ int speed=50; }
class Bike extends Vehicle{ int speed=100;
void display(){ System.out.println(speed);//will print speed of Bike }
public static void main(String args[]){
Bike b=new Bike(); b.display(); } } Output:100
In the above example Vehicle and Bike both class have a common property speed.
Instance variable of current class is referred by instance by default, but I have to
refer parent class instance variable that is why we use super keyword to
distinguish between parent class instance variable and current class instance
variable

125
Solution by super keyword

Solution by super keyword //example of super keyword

class Vehicle{ int speed=50; }
class Bike extends Vehicle{ int speed=100;
void display(){ System.out.println(super.speed);//will print speed of Vehicle now }
public static void main(String args[]){ Bike b=new Bike(); b.display();
}}Output:50

2. super is used to invoke parent class constructor.

The super keyword can also be used to invoke the parent class constructor as given
Example of super keyword
class Vehicle{ Vehicle(){System.out.println("Vehicle is created");} }

126
Example of super keyword

class Bike extends Vehicle{ Bike(){ super();//will invoke parent class

constructor
System.out.println("Bike is created"); }
public static void main(String args[]){
Bike b=new Bike();
} } Output:Vehicle is created
Bike is created
Note:super() is added in each class
construtor automatically by compiler.

127
Super() provide the first statement by
compiler

 As we know well that default constructor is provided by compiler

automatically but it also adds super() for the first statement. If you are
creating your own constructor and you don't have either this() or super()
as the first statement, compiler will provide super() as the first statement
of the consructor.

128
super() is provided by the compiler(implicitely)

super keyword where super() is provided by the compiler implicitly.

class Vehicle { Vehicle() { System.out.println("Vehicle is created");} }
class Bike extends Vehicle{ int speed; Bike(int speed){ this.speed=speed;
System.out.println(speed); } public static void main(String args[]){
Bike b=new Bike(10); } }
Output: Vehicle is created 10

3. super can be used to invoke immediate parent class method.

 The super keyword can also be used to invoke parent class method. It
should be used in case subclass contains the same method as parent class
as in the example given below:

129
Program of super that can be used to invoke
method of parent class

class Person{ void message() { System.out.println("welcome");} }

class Student extends Person{
void message() {System.out.println("welcome to java"); }
void dislay(){ message(); //will invoke current class message() method
super.message(); //will invoke parent class message() method }
public static void main(String args[]) { Student s=new Student(); s.display(); } }
Output: welcome to java
 In the above example Student and Person both classes have message() method if
we call message() method from Student class, it will call the message() method of
Student class not of Person class because priority is given to local.

130
Program in case super is not required

 In case there is no method in subclass as parent, there is no need to use

super. In the example given below message() method is invoked from
Student class but Student class does not have message() method, so you
can directly call message() method.
 Program in case super is not required

class Person{void message(){System.out.println("welcome");}}

class Student extends Person{ void dislay(){message();//will invoke parent
class message() method }
public static void main(String args[]){Student s=new
Student();s.display();}} Output:welcome

131
Instance initializer block:

1. Instance initializer block

2. Example of Instance initializer block
3. What is invoked firstly instance initializer block or constructor?
4. Rules for instance initializer block
5. Program of instance initializer block that is invoked after super()
 Instance Initializer block is used to initialize the instance data member.
 It run each time when object of the class is created.
 The initialization of the instance variable can be directly but there can be
performed extra operations while initilizing the instance variable in the
instance initializer block.

132
Why use instance intializer block

 What is the use of instance initializer block while we can directly assign
a value in instance data member? For example:
 class Bike{ int speed=100;}
 Why use instance initializer block?
 Suppose I have to perform some operations while assigning value to
instance data member e.g. a for loop to fill a complex array or error
handling etc.

133
Example of Instance initializer block

Example of Instance initializer block

Let's see the simple example of intance initializer block the performs initialization.
//Program of instance initializer block that initializes values to the instance variable
class Bike{ int speed; Bike(){System.out.println("speed is "+speed);} {speed=100;}
public static void main(String args[]){
Bike b1=new Bike(); Bike b2=new Bike(); } }
Output:speed is 100
speed is 100
There are three places in java where you can perform
Operations Method constructor block

134
What is invoked firstly instance initializer block or
constructor?

 What is invoked firstly instance initializer block or constructor?

Bike(){System.out.println("constructor is invoked");}
{System.out.println("instance initializer block invoked");}
public static void main(String args[]) { Bike b1=new Bike(); Bike b2=new Bike(); } }
Output:instance initializer block invoked
constructor is invoked
instance initializer block invoked
constructor is invoked
In the above example, it seems that instance initializer block is firstly invoked but NO.
Instance intializer block is invoked at the time of object creation. The java compiler
copies the instance initializer block in the costructor after the first statement
super(). So firstly, constructor is invoked.

135
The java compiler copies the code of instance
initializer block in every constructor.

2. Final method
3. Final class
4. Is final method inherited ?
5. Blank final variable
6. Static blank final variable
7. Final parameter
8. Can you declare a final constructor

137
final keyword

 The final keyword in java is used to restrict the user. The final keyword
can be used in many context. Final can be:
 variable
 method
 class
 The final keyword can be applied with the variables, that have no value it
is called blank final variable. It can be initialized in the constructor only.
The blank final variable can be static also which will be initialized in the
static block only. We will have detailed learning of these. Let's first learn
the basics of final keyword.

138
final variable

 1) final variable:

If you make any variable as final, you cannot change the value of final
variable(It will be constant).
Example of final variable
 There is a final variable speedlimit, we are going to change the value of
this variable, but It can't be changed because final variable once assigned
a value can never be changed.
class Bike{ final int speedlimit=90;//final variable
void run(){ speedlimit=400; } public static void main(String args[]){ Bike
obj=new Bike(); obj.run(); }} Output:Compile Time Error

 If you make any method as final, you cannot override it.
 Example of final method

class Bike { final void run(){System.out.println("running");}}

class Honda extends Bike{ void run(){System.out.println("running safely
with 100kmph");}
public static void main(String args[])
{
Honda honda= new Honda(); honda.run(); }}
Output:Compile Time Error
140
final class

3) final class:
 If you make any class as final, you cannot extend it.
 Example of final class

final class Bike{}

class Honda extends Bike{
void run(){System.out.println("running safely with 100kmph");}
public static void main(String args[]){
Honda honda= new Honda(); honda.run();
} }
Output: Compile Time Error
141
Is final method inherited?

 Is final method inherited?

 Ans)Yes, final method is inherited but you cannot override it.
 For Example:

class Bike
{
final void run(){System.out.println("running...");}}
class Honda extends Bike
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ new Honda().run(); }} Output:running...

142
What is blank final variable?

What is blank final variable?

 A final variable that is not initalized at the time of declaration is known as blank
final variable. If you want to create a variable that is initialized at the time of
creating object and once initialized may not be changed, it is useful. For example
PAN CARD number of an employee. It can be initialized only in constuctor.
Can we intialize blank final variable?
 Yes, but only in constructor.
class Bike { final int speedlimit;//blank final variable Bike(){ speedlimit=70;
System.out.println(speedlimit); }
public Static void main(String args[])
{ new Bike(); } } Output:70

143
static blank final variable

 static blank final variable

A static final variable that is not initalized at the time of declaration is

known as static blank final variable. It can be initialized only in static block.
 Example of static blank final variable

class A { static final int data; //static blank final variable

static{ data=50;}
public Static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println(A.data);
}}

144
What is final parameter?

 What is final parameter?

 If you declare any parameter as final, you cannot change the value of it.

class Bike {
int cube(final int n){ n=n+2; //can't be changed as n is final n*n*n;
}
public Static void main(String args[]){ Bike b=new Bike(); b.cube(5); }}
Output: Compile Time Error
Can we declare a constructor as final?
No, because constructor is never inherited.

145
Abstract class in Java

Abstraction
 Abstraction is a process of hiding the implementation details and showing
only functionality to the user. Another way, it shows only important things
to the user and hides the internal details.
 Abstraction lets you focus on what the object does instead of how it does
it.
Ways to achieve Abstaction
 There are two ways to achieve abstraction in java
 Abstract class (0 to 100%)
 Interface (100%)

146
Abstract class

Abstract class
A class that is declared as abstract is known as abstract class.It needs to
be extended and its method implemented. It cannot be instantiated.
Syntax to declare the abstract class
 abstract class <class_name>{} abstract method
 A method that is declared as abstract and does not have implementation
is known as abstract method.
Syntax to define the abstract method
 abstract return_type <method_name>();//no braces{}

147
Example of abstract class

 Example of abstract class that have abstract method

 In this example, Bike the abstract class that contains only one abstract
method run. It implementation is provided by the Honda class.
abstract class Bike { abstract void run(); }
class Honda extends Bike{ void run(){ System.out.println("running
safely..");}
public static void main(String args[])
{ Bike obj = new Honda(); obj.run(); }}
Output:running safely..

148
Real scenario of abstract class

In this example, Shape is the abstract class, its implementation is provided

by the Rectangle and Circle classes. Mostly, we don't know about the
implementation class (i.e. hidden to the end user) and object of the
implementation class is provided by the factory method.
A factory method is the method that returns the instance of the class
In this example, if you create the instance of Rectangle class, draw
method of Rectangle class will be invoked.
abstract class Shape{
abstract void draw();
}

149
Real scenario of abstract class

class Rectangle extends Shape{

void draw(){System.out.println("drawing rectangle");}
}
class Circle extends Shape{
void draw(){System.out.println("drawing circle");}
}
class Test{ public static void main(String args[]){
Shape s=new Circle();
//In real scenario, Object is provided through factory method
s.draw(); } } Output:drawing circle

150
Example of abstract class that have
method body
Abstract class having constructor, data member, methods etc.
Note: An abstract class can have data member,abstract method,method body,
constructor and even main() method.
//example of abstract class that have method body
abstract class Bike{
abstract void run();
void changeGear(){System.out.println("gear changed");}
}
class Honda extends Bike{ void run(){System.out.println("running safely..");}
public static void main(String args[]){ Bike obj = new Honda(); obj.run();
obj.changeGear(); } } Output:running safely..

151
Example of abstract class having constructor,
field and method
abstract class Bike
{
int limit=30; Bike() {System.out.println("constructor is invoked");}
void getDetails(){System.out.println("it has two wheels");} abstract void run(); }
class Honda extends Bike{
void run(){System.out.println("running safely..");}
public static void main(String args[]){ Bike obj = new Honda(); obj.run();
obj.getDetails(); System.out.println(obj.limit); } }
Output:constructor is invoked
running safely..
it has two wheels 30

152
Rules for abstract class

Rule: If there is any abstract method in a class, that class must be

abstract.
class Bike{ abstract void run(); } Output:compile time error
Rule: If you are extending any abstact class that have abstract method,
you must either provide the implementation of the method or make this
class abstract.
Another real scenario of abstract class
 The abstract class can also be used to provide some implementation of
the interface. In such case, the end user may not be forced to override all
the methods of the interface.

153
Interface implementation using abstract

The abstract class can also be used to provide some implementation of the
interface. In such case, the end user may not be forced to override all the
methods of the interface.
Note: If you are beginner to java, learn interface first and skip this example.
interface A{
void a(); void b(); void c(); void d(); }
abstract class B implements A{
public void c(){System.out.println("I am C");}
}

154
Interface implementation using abstract

class M extends B
{
public void a(){System.out.println("I am a");}
public void b(){System.out.println("I am b");}
public void d(){System.out.println("I am d");}
}
class Test{
public static void main(String args[]){
A a=new M(); a.a(); a.b(); a.c(); a.d(); }}
Output: I am a I am b I am c I am d

155
interface

Interface
 What do you mean Interface
 Example of Interface
 Multiple inheritance by Interface
 Why multiple inheritance is supported in Interface while it is
not supported in case of class.
 Marker Interface
 Nested Interface
156
interface

 An interface is a blueprint of a class. It has static constants and abstract

methods.
 The interface is a mechanism to achieve abstraction in java. There can be
only abstract methods in the interface. It is used to achieve fully
abstraction and multiple inheritance in Java.
 Why use Interface?
 There are mainly three reasons to use interface. They are given below.
 It is used to achieve fully abstraction.
 By interface, we can support the functionality of multiple inheritance.
 It can be used to achieve loose coupling.

157
The java compiler converts methods of interface as public and
abstract, data members as public, final and static by default

158
Simple example of Interface

In this exmple, Printable interface have only one method, its implemenation
is provided in the A class.
interface printable
{ void print(); }
class A implements printable{
public void print(){System.out.println("Hello");}
public static void main(String args[]){ A obj = new A(); obj.print();
} }
Output:Hello

159
Multiple inheritance by interface

A class cannot extend two classes but it can implement two interfaces. For example:
interface printable{ void print(); }
interface Showable{ void show(); }
class A implements printable,Showable{
public void print(){System.out.println("Hello");}
public void show(){System.out.println("Welcome");}
public static void main(String args[]){ A obj = new A(); obj.print(); obj.show(); } }
Output: Hello Welcome
 Multiple inheritance is not supported in case of class but it is supported in case
of interface, why? Ans - multiple inheritance is not supported in case of class. But
it is supported in case of interface because there is no ambiguity as implmentation
is provided by the implementation class.

160
interface

interface Printable{ void print(); }

interface Showable{ void print(); }
class A implements Printable,Showable{
public void print(){System.out.println("Hello");}
public static void main(String args[]){ A obj = new A(); obj.print(); } }
Output:Hello
As you can see in the above example, Printable and Showable interface have same
methods but its implementation is provided by class A, so there is no ambiguity.

161
A class implements interface but One interface
extends another interface .

interface Printable{ void print(); }

interface Showable extends Printable{ void show(); }
class A implements Showable{
public void print(){System.out.println("Hello");}
public void show(){System.out.println("Welcome");}
public static void main(String args[]){
A obj = new A();
obj.print();
obj.show();
} } Output:Hello
Welcome

162
What is marker or tagged interface ?

What is marker or tagged interface ?

 An interface that have no member is known as marker or tagged interface. For
example: Serializable, Cloneable, Remote etc. They are used to provide some
essential information to the JVM so that JVM may perform some useful
operation.
// How Serializable interface is written?
public interface Serializable{ }
Note: An interface can have another interface i.e. known as nested interface. We
will learn it in detail in the nested classes chapter. For example:
interface printable{ void print(); interface MessagePrintable{ void msg();
} }

163
Runtime Polymorphism

1. Runtime Polymorphism
2. Upcasting
3. Example of Runtime Polymorphism
4. Runtime Polymorphism with data members
 Runtime polymorphism or dynamic method dispatch is a process in
which a call to an overridden method is resolved at runtime rather
than at compile-time.
 In this process, an overridden method is called through the
reference variable of a superclass. The determination of the method
to be called is based on the object being referred to by the reference
variable.
164
Upcasting

Upcasting
 When reference variable of Parent class refers to the object of Child class,
it is known as upcasting.
class A{}
class B extends A{}
A a=new B();//upcasting

165
Example of Runtime Polymorphism

In this example, we are creating two classes Bike and Splendar. Splendar class
extends Bike class and overrides its run() method. We are calling the run method
by the reference variable of Parent class. Since it refers to the subclass object and
subclass method overrides the Parent class method, subclass method is invoked at
runtime. Since it is determined by the compiler, which method will be invoked at
runtime, so it is known as runtime polymorphism.
class Bike{ void run(){System.out.println("running");} }
class Splender extends Bike{ void run(){
System.out.println("running safely with 60km");}
public static void main(String args[]){ Bike b = new Splender();//upcasting
b.run(); } }
Output: running safely with 60km.

166
Runtime Polymorphism with data member

 Runtime Polymorphism with data member

 Method is overriden not the datamembers, so runtime polymorphism
can't be achieved by data members.
 In the example given below, both the classes have a datamember
speedlimit, we are accessing the datamember by the reference variable of
Parent class which refers to the subclass object. Since we are accessing
the datamember which is not overridden, hence it will access the
datamember of Parent class always.

167
Runtime polymorphism can't be achieved by
data members

Rule: Runtime polymorphism can't be achieved by data members.

class Bike{
int speedlimit=90; }
class Honda extends Bike{ int speedlimit=150;
public static void main(String args[]) { Bike obj=new Honda();
System.out.println(obj.speedlimit);//90 }}
Output: 90

168
Static Binding and Dynamic Binding

 Binding:
Connecting a method call to a method body is called binding.It can be of
two types:
 static binding(early binding).
 dynamic binding(late binding).
 About type:
 1) variables have a type
 For example: int data=30; //Here data variable is a type of int.
 2) References have a type
 class Dog { public static void main(String args[]){ Dog d1;//Here d1 is a type of
Dog }}

169
Static Binding and Dynamic Binding

 3) Objects have a type

 An object is an instance of particular java class,but it is also an instance of
its superclass.
 class Animal{}
 class Dog extends Animal
 { public static void main(String args[]){
 Dog d1=new Dog(); }} //Here d1 is an instance of Dog class, but it is also
an instance of Animal.

170
Static Binding

static binding
When type of the object is determined at compiled time(by the compiler),
it is known as static binding.
If there is any private,final or static method in a class,it is static binding.
Example of static binding:
class Dog{
private void eat(){System.out.println("dog is eating...");}
public static void main(String args[]){
Dog d1=new Dog(); d1.eat(); } }

171
Dynamic Binding

Dynamic binding:
When type of the object is determined at run-time, it is known as dynamic
binding.
Example of dynamic binding:
class Animal{
void eat(){System.out.println("animal is eating...");} }
class Dog extends Animal{
void eat(){System.out.println("dog is eating...");}
public static void main(String args[]){
Animal a=new Dog(); a.eat(); } } Output:dog is eating...

172
instanceof operator

1. The instanceof operator

2. Example of instanceof operator
3. Applying the instanceof operator with a variable the have null value
4. Downcasting with instanceof operator
5. Downcasting without instanceof operator
 The instanceof operator is used to test whether the object is an instance
of the specified type (class or subclass or interface).
 The instanceof operator is also known as type comparison operator
because it compares the instance with type. It returns either true or false.
If we apply the instanceof operator with any variable that have null value,
it returns false.
173
Simple example of instanceof operator

 simple example of instance operator where it tests the current class.

class Simple{
public static void main(String args[]){
Simple s=new Simple();
System.out.println(s instanceof Simple);//true
}
}
Output: true

174
instanceof operator with a variable that
have null value

 instanceof operator with a variable that have null value

 If we apply instanceof operator with a variable that have null value, it
ruturns false. Let's see the example given below where we apply
instanceof operator with the variable that have null value.
 class Dog{
 public static void main(String args[]){
 Dog d=null;
 System.out.println(d instanceof Dog);//false
 } }
 Output:false

175
Downcasting with instanceof operator

 When Subclass type refers to the object of Parent class, it is known as

downcasting. If we perform it directly, compiler gives Compilation error. If
you perform it by typecasting, ClassCastException is thrown at runtime.
But if we use instanceof operator, downcasting is possible.
Dog d=new Animal();//Compilation error
 If we perform downcasting by typecasting, ClassCastException is thrown
at runtime.
Dog d=(Dog)new Animal();
 //Compiles successfully but ClassCastException is thrown at runtime

176
downcasting with instanceof operator

Possibility of downcasting with instanceof operator

Let's see the example, where downcasting is possible by instanceof operator.
class Animal { }
class Dog extends Animal {
static void method(Animal a) {
if(a instanceof Dog){
Dog d=(Dog)a;//downcasting
System.out.println("ok downcasting performed");
} }
public static void main (String [] args) {
Animal a=new Dog(); Dog.method(a); } } Output:ok downcasting performed

177
Down casting without the use of instanceof
operator
Down casting can also be performed without the use of instanceof operator as
displayed in the following example:
class Animal { } class Dog extends Animal {
static void method(Animal a) {
Dog d=(Dog)a;//downcasting
System.out.println("ok downcasting performed"); }
public static void main (String [] args) {
Animal a=new Dog(); Dog.method(a); } }
Output:ok downcasting performed
Let's take closer look at this, actual object that is referred by a, is an object of Dog
class. So if we downcast it, it is fine. But what will happen if we write:
Animal a=new Animal();Dog.method(a);
178
Package

1. Package
2. Example of package
3. Accessing package
4. By import packagename.*
5. By import packagename.classname
6. By fully qualified name
7. Subpackage

179
Package

 A package is a group of similar types of classs, interfaces and sub-

packages.
 Package can be categorized in two form, built-in package and user-
defined package. There are many built-in packages such as java, lang, awt,
javax, swing, net, io, util, sql etc.
 In this page, we will have the detailed learning of creating user-defined
packages.
 Advantage of Package
 Package is used to categorize the classes and interfaces so that they can be easily
maintained.
 Package provids access protection & Package removes naming collision .

180
Package diagram

181
Example of Package

 The keyword package is used to create a package.

 //save as Simple.java package mypack;

public class Simple{

public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("Welcome to package");
} }
To Compile: javac -d . Simple.java To Run: java mypack.Simple
Output:Welcome to package
The -d is a switch that tells the compiler where to put the class file i.e. it
represents destination. The . represents the current folder.

182
How to access package from another package?

There are three ways to access the package from outside the package.
import package.*;
import package.classname;
fully qualified name.
 If you use package.* then all the classes and interfaces of this package
will be accessible but not subpackages.
 The import keyword is used to make the classes and interface of another
package accessible to the current package.

183
Example of package that import the
packagename.*

Example of package that import the packagename.*

//save by A.java
package pack;
public class A{
public void msg(){System.out.println("Hello");}
}
//save by B.java
package mypack;
import pack.*;
class B{ public static void main(String args[]){ A obj = new A(); obj.msg(); } }
Output:Hello

184
Example

If you import package.classname then only declared class of this package will be
accessible but not subpackages.
Example of package by import package.classname
//save by A.java
package pack; public class A{ public void msg(){System.out.println("Hello");}
}
//save by B.java
package mypack; import pack.A; class B{
public static void main(String args[]){
A obj = new A();
obj.msg(); } } Output:Hello

185
Example of package by import fully qualified name

If you use fully qualified name then only declared class of this package will be
accessible. Now there is no need to import. But you need to use fully qualified
name every time when you are accessing the class or interface.
//save by A.java
package pack; public class A{ public void msg(){System.out.println("Hello");} }
//save by B.java
package mypack;
class B{
public static void main(String args[]){
pack.A obj = new pack.A();//using fully qualified name
obj.msg(); } } Output:Hello

186
Sequence of the program must be package
then import then class.

 Subpackage - Package inside the package is called the subpackage.

 It should be created to categorize the package further. Let's take an example, Sun
Microsystem has definded a package named java that contains many classes like
System, String, Reader, Writer, Socket etc. These classes represent a particular
group e.g. Reader and Writer classes are for Input/Output operation, Socket and
ServerSocket classes are for networking etc and so on. So, Sun has subcategorized
the java package into subpackages such as lang, net, io etc. and put the
Input/Output related classes in io package, Server and ServerSocket classes in net
packages and so on.

187
Example of subpackage

package com.
javatpoint.core;
class Simple{ public static void main(String args[]){ System.out.println("Hello
subpackage"); }}
To Compile: javac -d . Simple.java
To Run: java com.javatpoint.core.Simple
Output:Hello subpackageNote:
If you import a package, all the classes and interface of that package will
be imported excluding the classes and interfaces of the subpackages.
Hence, you need to import the subpackage as well.

188
Access Modifiers

1. private access modifier

2. Role of private constructor
3. default access modifier
4. protected access modifier
5. public access modifier
6. Applying access modifer with method overriding
 There are two types of modifiers access modifier and non-access
modifier. The access modifiers specifies accessibility (scope) of a
datamember, method, constructor or class. There are 4 types of
access modifiers:

189
Types of Access modifier

 private
 default
 protected
 public
 There are many non-access modifiers such as static, abstract,
synchronized, native, volatile, transient etc. Here, we will learn access
modifiers.
1) private
 The private access modifier is accessible only within class.

190
Example of private access modifier

 In this example, we have created two classes A and Simple. A class

contains private data member and private method. We are accessing
these private members from outside the class, so there is compile time
error.
class A{
private int data=40;
private void msg(){System.out.println("Hello java");} }
public class Simple{ public static void main(String args[]){
A obj=new A(); System.out.println(obj.data);//Compile Time Error
obj.msg();//Compile Time Error } }

191
Role of Private Constructor

If you make any class constructor private, you cannot create the instance of that
class from outside the class. For example:
class A{
private A(){}//private constructor
void msg(){System.out.println("Hello java");} }
public class Simple{
public static void main(String args[]){
A obj=new A();//Compile Time Error
} }
Note: A class cannot be private or protected except nested class.

192
default

2) default
If you don't use any modifier, it is treated as default modifier bydefault. The
default modifier is accessible only within package.
Example of default access modifier
In this example, we have created two packages pack and mypack. We are
accessing the A class from outside its package, since A class is not public, so it
cannot be accessed from outside the package.
//save by A.java
package pack;
class A{
void msg(){System.out.println("Hello");}

193
Example of default

//save by B.java
package mypack;
import pack.*;
class B{
public static void main(String args[]){
A obj = new A();//Compile Time Error
obj.msg();//Compile Time Error
}}
In the above example, the scope of class A and its method msg() is
default so it cannot be accessed from outside the package.

194
Protected

3) protected
The protected access modifier is accessible within package and outside the
package by only through inheritance. The protected access modifier can be
applied on the data member, method and constructor. It can't be applied on the
class.
Example of protected access modifier
In this example, we have created the two packages pack and mypack. The A class
of pack package is public, so can be accessed from outside the package. But msg
method of this package is declared as protected, so it can be accessed from
outside the class only through inheritance.

195
Example of protected

//save by A.java
package pack; public class A{
protected void msg(){System.out.println("Hello");}
}
//save by B.java
package mypack;
import pack.*;
class B extends A{
public static void main(String args[]){
B obj = new B(); obj.msg(); } } Output:Hello

196
public

4) public
The public access modifier is accessible everywhere. It has the widest scope
among all other modifiers.
Example of public access modifier
//save by A.java
package pack;
public class A{
public void msg(){System.out.println("Hello");}
} //save by B.java
package mypack;import pack.*; class B{ public static void main(String args[]){ A obj =
new A(); obj.msg(); }} Output:Hello

197
Encapsulation

Encapsulation is a process of wrapping code and data together into a single unit. It
is a way to achieve data hiding.
Simple example:
//save as Student.java
package mypack;
public class student{ private string name; public String getName(){
return name; }
public void setName(String name){ this.name=name } } package mypack;
class Test
public static void main(){ Student s=new Student(); s.setname("vijay");
System.out.println(s.getName()); } }

198
Object Class

 The Object class is the super class of all the classes in java. The Object is beneficial
if you want to refer any object whose type you don't know. Notice that parent
class reference variable can refer the child class object, know as upcasting.
 The Object class provides some common behaviours to all the objects such as
object can be compared, object can be cloned, object can be notified etc.
 Methods of Object class
 The Object class provides many methods. They are as follows:
 public final Class getClass() returns the Class class object of this object. The Class
class can further be used to get the metadata of this class.
 public int hashCode() returns the hashcode number for this object.
 public boolean equals(Object obj) compares the given object to this object.

199
Object class Method
 protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException creates and returns the exact
copy (clone) of this object.
 public String toString() returns the string representation of this object.
 public final void notify() wakes up single thread, waiting on this object's monitor.
 public final void notifyAll() wakes up all the threads, waiting on this object's monitor.
 public final void wait(long timeout)throws InterruptedException causes the current thread
to wait for the specified miliseconds, until another thread notifies (invokes notify() or
notifyAll() method).
 public final void wait(long timeout,int nanos)throws InterruptedExceptioncauses the
current thread to wait for the specified miliseconds and nanoseconds, until another thread
notifies (invokes notify() or notifyAll() method).
 public final void wait()throws InterruptedException causes the current thread to wait, until
another thread notifies (invokes notify() or notifyAll() method).
 protected void finalize()throws Throwable is invoked by the garbage collector before object
is being garbage collected.
200
clone() method (Object Cloning in Java)

 The clone() method (Object Cloning in Java)

 The object cloning is a way to create exact copy of an object. For this
purpose, clone() method of Object class is used to clone an object.
 The java.lang.Cloneable interface must be implemented by the class
whose object clone we want to create. If we don't implement Cloneable
interface, clone() method gives CloneNotSupportedException. The clone()
method is defined in the Object class. Syntax of the clone() method is as
follows:
 protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException

201
Why use clone() method ?

The clone() saves the extra processing task for creating the exact copy of an
object. If we perform it by using the new keyword, it will take a lot of processing to
be performed that is why we use object cloning.
Example of clone() method (Object cloning)
class Student implements Cloneable{
int rollno; String name;
Student(int rollno,String name){
this.rollno=rollno; this.name=name;
}
public Object clone()throws CloneNotSupportedException{
return super.clone(); }

202
Example of clone method

public static void main(String args[]){

try{ Student s1=new Student(101,"amit");
Student s2=(Student)s1.clone();
System.out.println(s1.rollno+" "+s1.name);
System.out.println(s2.rollno+" "+s2.name); }catch(CloneNotSupportedException c){}
} } Output:101 amit 101 amit
in the above example, both reference variables have the same value. Thus, the
clone() copies the values of an object to another. So we don't need to write
explicit code to copy the value of an object to another. If we create another object
by new keyword and assign the values of another object to this one, it will require
a lot of processing on this object. So to save the extra processing task we use
clone() method.

Array in Java

 Array in Java
 Normally, array is a collection of similar type of elements that have contigious
memory location.
 In java, array is an object the contains elements of similar data type. It is a data
structure where we store similar elements. We can store only fixed elements in an
array.
 Array is index based, first element of the array is stored at 0 index.

204
Advantage of Array

 Advantage of Array
 Code Optimization: It makes the code optimized, we can retrive or sort the data
easily.
 Random access: We can get any data located at any index position.
 Disadvantage of Array
 Size Limit: We can store only fixed size of elements in the array. It doesn't grow its
size at runtime. To solve this problem, collection framework is used in java.
 Types of Array
Two types of array. - Single Dimensional Array & Multidimensional Array
 Single Dimensional Array
 Syntax to Declare an Array in java
dataType[] arrayRefVar; (or) dataType []arrayRefVar; (or) dataType arrayRefVar[];

205
Instantiation of an Array in java

arrayRefVar=new datatype[size];
 Example of single dimensional java array
 Let's see the simple example of java array, where we are going to declare,
instantiate, initialize and traverse an array.
class B{
public static void main(String args[]){
int a[]=new int[5]; //declaration and instantiation
a[0]=10;//initialization a[1]=20; a[2]=70; a[3]=40; a[4]=50;
//printing array
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)//length is the property of array
System.out.println(a[i]); }} Output: 10 20 70 40 50

206
Declaration, Instantiation and Initialization of Java
Array

 We can declare, instantiate and initialize the java array together by:
 int a[]={33,3,4,5};//declaration, instantiation and initialization
 Let's see the simple example to print this array.
class B{
public static void main(String args[]){
int a[]={33,3,4,5};//declaration, instantiation and initialization
//printing array
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)//length is the property of array
System.out.println(a[i]); }}
Output: 33 3 4 5

207
Passing Java Array in the method

We can pass the array in the method so that we can reuse the same logic on any
array. Let's see the simple example to get minimum number of an array using
method.
class B{
static void min(int arr[]){
int min=arr[0];
for(int i=1;i<arr.length;i++) if(min>arr[i]) min=arr[i]; System.out.println(min);
} public static void main(String args[]){
int a[]={33,3,4,5};
min(a);//passing array in the method
}}
Output:3
208
Multidimensional array

Data is stored in row and column based index (also known as matrix form).
Syntax to Declare Multidimensional Array in java
dataType[][] arrayRefVar; (or) dataType [][]arrayRefVar; (or)
dataType arrayRefVar[][]; (or) dataType []arrayRefVar[];
Example to initantiate Multidimensional Array in java
int[][] arr=new int[3][3];//3 row and 3 column
Example to initialize Multidimensional Array in java
arr[0][0]=1; arr[0][1]=2; arr[0][2]=3; arr[1][0]=4; arr[1][1]=5;
arr[1][2]=6; arr[2][0]=7; arr[2][1]=8; arr[2][2]=9;

209
Example of Multidimensional java array

Example 2Dimensional array.

class B{
public static void main(String args[]){
//declaring and initializing 2D array
int arr[][]={{1,2,3},{2,4,5},{4,4,5}};
//printing 2D array
for(int i=0;i<3;i++){
for(int j=0;j<3;j++){
System.out.print(arr[i][j]+" "); } System.out.println(); } }}
Output:1 2 3

What is class name of java array?

In java, array is an object. For array object, an proxy class is created whose name
can be obtained by getClass().getName() method on the object.
class B{
public static void main(String args[]){
int arr[]={4,4,5};
Class c=arr.getClass();
String name=c.getName(); System.out.println(name); } }}
Output:[I Copying an array
We can copy an array to another by the arraycopy method of System class.
Syntax of arraycopy method
public static void arraycopy( Object src, int srcPos,Object dest, int destPos, int length )

211
Example of arraycopy method

Example of arraycopy method

class ArrayCopyDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
char[] copyFrom = { 'd', 'e', 'c', 'a', 'f', 'f', 'e',
'i', 'n', 'a', 't', 'e', 'd' };
char[] copyTo = new char[7];
System.arraycopy(copyFrom, 2, copyTo, 0, 7);
System.out.println(new String(copyTo));
}
}
Output:caffein

212
Call by Value in Java

There is only call by value in java, not call by reference. If we call a method passing
a value, it is known as call by value. The changes being done in the called method,
is not affected in the calling method.
In case of call by value original value is not changed. Let's take a simple example:
class Operation{
int data=50; void change(int data){ data=data+100;//changes will be in the local
variable only }
public static void main(String args[]){
Operation op=new Operation();
System.out.println("before change "+op.data); op.change(500);
System.out.println("after change "+op.data); } }
Output: before change 50 after change 50
213
Another Example of call by value in java

In case of call by reference original value is changed if we made changes in the

called method. If we pass object in place of any primitive value, original value will
be changed. In this example we are passing object as a value.
class Operation2{
int data=50;
void change(Operation op){
op.data=op.data+100;//changes will be in the instance variable }
public static void main(String args[]){ Operation2 op=new Operation2();
System.out.println("before change "+op.data);
op.change(op);//passing object
System.out.println("after change "+op.data); } } Output:before change 50 after
change 150

What we will learn in OOPs Concepts ?

Advantage of OOPs
 Naming Convention Object and class Method overloading
 Constructor static keyword this keyword with 6
usage
 Inheritance Aggregation Method Overriding
 Covariant Return Type super keyword Instance Initializer block
 final keyword Abstract class Interface
 Runtime Polymorphism Static Binding Dynamic Binding
 Package Access Modifiers Encapsulation
