Introduction to java

 Welcome to the course Object Oriented
Programming in JAVA. This course will cover
a core set of computer science concepts
needed to create a modern software
application using Java.
2

On completion of this course we will be able to:
1. Identify the importance of Java .
2. Identify the additional features of Java compared to C++ .
3. Identify the difference between Compiler and Interpreter .
4. Identify the difference between applet and application .
5. Apply Object Oriented Principles of Encapsulations, Data
abstraction, Inheritance, Polymorphism.
6. Program using java API (Application Programming
Interface).
7. Program using Exception Handling, Files andThreads .
8. Program Using applets and swings .

UNIT-III Data structures creation and manipulation in java
UNIT-IV Exception Handling
UNIT-V GUI ProgrammingWith JAVA

 Two reasons :
 Trouble with C/C++ language is that they are not
portable and are not platform independent
languages.
 Emergence of World Wide Web, which demanded
portable programs
 Portability and security necessitated the
invention of Java

 James Gosling - Sun Microsystems
 Co founder –Vinod Khosla
 Oak - Java, May 20, 1995, SunWorld
 JDK Evolutions
 JDK 1.0 (January 23, 1996)
 JDK 1.1 (February 19, 1997)
 J2SE 1.2 (December 8, 1998)
 J2SE 1.3 (May 8, 2000)
 J2SE 1.4 (February 6, 2002)
 J2SE 5.0 (September 30, 2004)
 Java SE 6 (December 11, 2006)
 Java SE 7 (July 28, 2011)

 Java Editions.
J2SE(Java 2 Standard Edition) - to develop
client-side standalone applications or applets.
J2ME(Java 2 Micro Edition ) - to develop
applications for mobile devices such as cell
phones.
J2EE(Java 2 Enterprise Edition ) - to develop
server-side applications such as Java servlets
and Java ServerPages.

 A general-purpose object-oriented language.
 Write Once Run Anywhere (WORA).
 Designed for easyWeb/Internet applications.
 Widespread acceptance.

 C Language:
 Major difference is that C is a structure oriented language and
Java is an object oriented language and has mechanism to
define classes and objects.
 Java does not support an explicit pointer type
 Java does not have preprocessor, so we cant use #define,
#include and #ifdef statements.
 Java does not include structures, unions and enum data types.
 Java does not include keywords like goto, sizeof and typedef.
 Java adds labeled break and continue statements.
 Java adds many features required for object oriented
programming.

 C++ language
Features removed in java:
 Java doesn’t support pointers to avoid unauthorized
access of memory locations.
 Java does not include structures, unions and enum data
types.
 Java does not support operator over loading.
 Preprocessor plays less important role in C++ and so
eliminated entirely in java.
 Java does not perform automatic type conversions that
result in loss of precision.

 Java does not support global variables. Every method
and variable is declared within a class and forms part
of that class.
 Java does not allow default arguments.
 Java does not support inheritance of multiple super
classes by a sub class (i.e., multiple inheritance). This
is accomplished by using ‘interface’ concept.
 It is not possible to declare unsigned integers in java.
 In java objects are passed by reference only. In C++
objects may be passed by value or reference.

New features added in Java:
 Multithreading, that allows two or more pieces of the
same program to execute concurrently.
 C++ has a set of library functions that use a common
header file. But java replaces it with its own set of API
classes.
 It adds packages and interfaces.
 Java supports automatic garbage collection.
 break and continue statements have been enhanced
in java to accept labels as targets.
 The use of unicode characters ensures portability.

Features that differ:
 Though C++ and java supports Boolean data type, C++ takes
any nonzero value as true and zero as false. True and false in
java are predefined literals that are values for a boolean
expression.
 Java has replaced the destructor function with a finalize()
function.
 C++ supports exception handling that is similar to java's.
However, in C++ there is no requirement that a thrown
exception be caught.

 Java is simple
 Java is object-oriented
 Java is distributed
 Java is interpreted
 Java is robust
 Java is architecture-
neutral
 Java is portable
 Java’s performance
 Java is multithreaded
 Java is dynamic
 Java is secure

 Java includes many development tools, classes and
methods
 Development tools are part of Java Development Kit (JDK) and
 The classes and methods are part of Java Standard Library
(JSL), also known as Application Programming Interface (API).
 JDK constitutes of tools like java compiler, java
interpreter and many.
 API includes hundreds of classes and methods grouped
into several packages according to their functionality.

 Edit Plus Software:
 EditPlus is a 32-bit text editor for the
MicrosoftWindows operating system.
 The editor contains tools for programmers,
including syntax highlighting (and support for
custom syntax files), file type conversions,
line ending conversion (between Linux,
Windows and Mac styles), regular
expressions for search-and-replace, spell
check etc).
