Core Java Concepts

Java Applications 

There are mainly four types of Java applications.
  • Standalone
  • Web 
  • Enterprise 
  • Mobile

Java Features 

There are several features in Java, but in here listed some important ones
  • Platform independent
  • Object oriented
  • Multi threaded
  • Distributed
  • Robust (automatic garbage collection, exception handling, type checking)

Java Security 

Java has 3 built-in security components;
  • Classloader: Separate class files packages from imported packages.
  • BytecodeVerifier: check the illegal access to objects
  • Security Manager: check what resources can access the object.

C++ vs Java



Methods

  • Static - No need to create an object to invoke the static method.
  • Constructor - use to initialize objects
    • Constructor name must same as the class name
    • Constructor has no return type
    • There are two types of constructors
      • Default - no parameter
      • Parameterized
    • If there is no constructor defined in the class, compiler automatically create default constructor
    • Constructor return value: current class instance

Compiling

At the compiler stage, Java code is converted to a bytecode.
JVM: Java Virtual Machine, used to execute the Java bytecode.Platform dependent.

Variables

There are three types of variables in Java
  • Local variable: variables define inside the method
  • Instance variable: variables define outside the method but inside the class
  • Static variable: variable declared as static

Data types

There are two kinds of data types in Java
  • Primitive: Byte, char, int, short, long, boolean, double
  • Non-primitive: String, array

Loops

  • While loop: If number of iterations are not fixed use this one
  • DoWhile loop: the loop is at least execute once.

Static

  • Variable: 
    • Refer common property for all objects (save memory)
  • Method
    • Belong to the class rather than object
    • Can invoke without creating object
    • this and super keyword can't use inside the static method

Types of inheritance (is-a)







In Java, multiple and hybrid interfaces are supported by interface only.If those are used in class level Java throws compile time error.

Aggregation (has-a)

Aggregation is based on entity reference

Object Oriented Programming (OOP)

Object Object is an entity that has state and behavior Class Collection of objects is known as class. There are four main types of OOP concepts Inheritance Object acquire all the properties and behavior of parent object Improve code re-usability Polymorphism One task is performed by different ways Use method overload and override Abstraction Hiding internal details and showing functionality Use abstract class and interfaces Encapsulation Binding code and data into a single unit

Sorting Algorithms

Bubble Sort Named as sinking sort. Compare each pair of the adjacent items and swap them if they are in the wrong order. Worst case and average case time complexity both O(n^2)  and best case time complexity is O(n).

Java-8

Java 8 New Features There are several new features added in Java 8 version. Some of the important new features are: Define methods inside the interface For each method Lambda Expression Stream API DateTime API 1) Define methods (default, static) inside the Interface After you published your interface, you can't change it by adding some abstract methods. But if you want to add methods you can define those methods inside the interface. Therefore Java 8 support default and static methods inside the interface. In Java 7 version interface only have abstract methods (no method implementation) and an abstract class can have both abstract and non-abstract methods. In Java 8 version you can add method implementation in the interface, but you have to declare that method as default method. ex: default void show(){............} To avoid diamond problem you have to override the method in implementation class if two interfaces have same default method ...
