Operations on Data and Java Library

 Operations on Data

1) (byte, short, int, char) + (byte, short, int, char) => int

2) (byte, short, int, long, char) + long => long

3) (byte, short, int, long, float, char) + float => float

4) (byte, short, int, long, float, double, char) + double => double


Note: Operations cannot be performed on boolean types. 

Java Library

  • Java library organised in the form of packages.
  • A package is a collection of sub packages, classes & interfaces.
  • java.lang package is a default package and it is implicitly imported in every java program.

Java Notations:
1) Package & Sub Package: All small letters and sub packages are separated with dot(.) symbol.
2) Class & Interface: Each word first letter is capital and no space between words.
3) Variable & Method: Second word on wards first letter is capital and no space between words.


Interface in Java

  • An interface in Java is a blueprint of a class. It has static constants and abstract methods.
  • The interface in Java is a mechanism to achieve abstraction. 
  • There can be only abstract methods in the Java interface, not method body. 
  • It is used to achieve abstraction and multiple inheritance in Java.

Example:-

// A simple interface           
interface Player
{
  final int id = 10;
   int move();
}

Java Package

  • A java package is a group of similar types of classes, interfaces and sub-packages.
  • Package in java 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.

Example :- import java.util.Scanner


Variables

  • Variable is name of reserved area allocated in memory.
  • In other words, it is a name of memory location. It is a combination of "vary + able" that means its value can be changed.

Types of Variables

There are three types of variables in java :

  • local variable

  • instance variable

  • static variable


Method
  • Method in Java is a collection of instructions that performs a specific task. It provides the reusability of code.
  • A method is a block of code or collection of statements or a set of code grouped together to perform a certain task or operation.
Types of Method

There are two types of methods in Java:

  • Predefined Method

  • User-defined Method

Eg:- java.io.PrintStream

Simple structure of java

Class Demo 
{
   Public static void main(String args[])
            {
}
}

Simple java program 

Class Demo 
{
   Public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println(“welcome”);
}
}

Declaration rules to a source file(.java file):-

1) A source file can have only one public class.
2) A source file can have any number of non public classes.
3) If the source file contains public class then file name and public class name must be same.
4) If the source file does not contain public class then no naming restrictions to a file name.

Java Package

  Java Package A java package is a group of similar types of classes, interfaces and sub-packages. Package in java 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.  Advantage of Java Package Java package is used to categorize the classes and interfaces so that they can be easily maintained. 2) Java package provides access protection. 3) Java package removes naming collision.  s imple example of java package package mypack;   public class Simple{     public static void main(String args[]) {       System.out.println("Welcome to package");      }   } 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.      1) Using p...

Life cycle of a Thread and creating thread class

Image
  Life cycle of a Thread /Thread States:         A thread can be in one of the five states. According to sun, there is only 4 states in thread life cycle in java new, runnable, non-runnable and terminated. There is no running state.The life cycle of the thread in java is controlled by JVM. The java thread states are as follows: New Runnable Running Non-Runnable (Blocked) Terminated 1) New The thread is in new state if you create an instance of Thread class but before the invocation of start() method. 2) Runnable The thread is in runnable state after invocation of start() method, but the thread scheduler has not selected it to be the running thread. 3) Running The thread is in running state if the thread scheduler has selected it. 4) Non-Runnable (Blocked) This is the state when the thread is still alive, but is currently not eligible to run. 5) Terminated A thread is in terminated or dead state when its run() method exits. ...

Inheritance in Java

Image
  Inheritance in Java Inheritance is an important pillar of OOP(Object Oriented Programming).  It is the mechanism in java by which one class is allow to inherit the features(fields and methods) of another class. Important terminology:- Super Class: The class whose features are inherited is known as super class(or a base class or a parent class). Sub Class: The class that inherits the other class is known as sub class(or a derived class, extended class, or child class). The subclass can add its own fields and methods in addition to the superclass fields and methods. Reusability: Inheritance supports the concept of “reusability”, i.e. when we want to create a new class and there is already a class that includes some of the code that we want, we can derive our new class from the existing class. By doing this, we are reusing the fields and methods of the existing class How to use inheritance in Java:- The keyword used for inheritance is extends . Syntax : class derived-class ext...
