Introduction to Java

Java is a versatile, object-oriented programming language known for its portability, scalability, and security features. It has evolved since its initial release in 1995, with significant versions introducing new functionalities such as generics and lambda expressions. Java's structure includes classes and objects, various data types, control structures, and supports inheritance for code reuse.

Introduction to Java

Java is a versatile, object-oriented programming language that


has become one of the most widely used and influential
languages in the world. It is known for its portability, scalability,
and robust security features, making it a popular choice for a
wide range of applications.

History and Versions of Java

creating objects.
Data Types and Variables
Primitive Data Types
Java has eight primitive data types, including
integers, floating-point numbers, booleans, and
characters.

Reference Data Types


Java also supports reference data types, such as
strings, arrays, and user-defined classes, which
can hold more complex data.

Variables and Scope


Variables in Java are used to store data, and their
scope determines where they can be accessed in
the code.
Operators and Expressions

Arithmetic Operators Relational Operators Logical Operators


Java supports standard Comparison operators, like Logical operators, such as
arithmetic operators, such <, >, ==, and !=, are used &&, ||, and !, are used to
as +, -, *, /, and %. to evaluate expressions. combine and negate
boolean expressions.
Control Structures
(Conditional and Looping)
If-Else Statements
Conditional statements allow you to execute different code based on
whether a condition is true or false.

Switch Statements
Switch statements provide a more concise way to handle multiple
conditions, evaluating a single expression.

Loops
Looping constructs, such as for, while, and do-while, allow you to
repeatedly execute a block of code.
Java Classes and Objects
Classes Java programs are built using classes,
which serve as templates for creating
objects. Classes define the properties
and behaviors of objects.
Objects Objects are instances of classes, and
they can have their own state (data) and
behavior (methods).

Inheritance Java supports inheritance, which allows


classes to inherit properties and methods
from parent classes, promoting code
reuse.
