Java – James Gosling

 James Gosling is a famous Canadian software developer who has been with Sun
Microsystems since 1984 and is considered as father of Java programming language.
Gosling did the original design of Java and implemented its original compiler and virtual
machine.
 Since the Internet consists of different types of computers and operating systems. A
common lang. needed to enable computers. To run programs that run on multiple plot
forms. This need was fulfilled by Java, and it so on. Because the language of choice for
the Internet.
 Java is Object-Oriented language built on C and C++. It derives its syntax from C and its
Object-Oriented features are influenced by C++.Java can be used to create two types of
programs. Those are Applications and Applets.
 An application is a program that runs on the user’s computers under the operating system.
An Applet is a small window based program that runs on HTML page using a java
enabled web browser like internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator or an Applet Viewer.

1. Introduction to Java
History of Java:
 In 1990, Sun Micro Systems Inc. (US) was conceived a project to develop software for
consumer electronic devices that could be controlled by a remote. This project was called
Stealth Project but later its name was changed to Green Project.
 In January 1991, Project Manager James Gosling and his team members Patrick
Naughton, Mike Sheridan, Chris Wrath, and Ed Frank met to discuss about this project.
 Gosling thought C and C++ would be used to develop the project. But the problem he
faced with them is that they were system dependent languages. The trouble with C and
C++ (and most other languages) is that they are designed to be compiled for a specific
target and could not be used on various processors, which the electronic devices might
use.
 James Gosling with his team started developing a new language, which was completely
system independent. This language was initially called OAK. Since this name was
registered by some other company, later it was changed to Java.
 James Gosling and his team members were consuming a lot of coffee while developing
this language. Good quality of coffee was supplied from a place called “Java Island’.
Hence they fixed the name of the language as Java. The symbol for Java language is cup
and saucer.
 Sun formally announced Java at Sun World conference in 1995. On January 23rd 1996,
JDK1.0 version was released.
Features of Java (Java buzz words):
 Simple: Learning and practicing java is easy because of resemblance with c and C++.
 Object Oriented Programming Language: Unlike C++, Java is purely OOP.
 Distributed: Java is designed for use on network; it has an extensive library which works
in agreement with TCP/IP.
 Secure: Java is designed for use on Internet. Java enables the construction of virus-free,
tamper free systems.
 Robust (Strong/ Powerful): Java programs will not crash because of its exception
handling and its memory management features.
 Interpreted: Java programs are compiled to generate the byte code. This byte code can
be downloaded and interpreted by the interpreter. .class file will have byte code
instructions and JVM which contains an interpreter will execute the byte code.
 Portable: Java does not have implementation dependent aspects and it yields or gives
same result on any machine.
 Architectural Neutral Language: Java byte code is not machine dependent, it can run
on any machine with any processor and with any OS.
 High Performance: Along with interpreter there will be JIT (Just In Time) compiler
which enhances the speed of execution.
 Multithreaded: Executing different parts of program simultaneously is called
multithreading. This is an essential feature to design server side programs.

YASEEN’S Page 3

 Dynamic: We can develop programs in Java which dynamically change on Internet (e.g.:
Applets).

Obtaining the Java Environment:

 We can download the JDK (Java Development Kit) including the compiler and runtime
engine from Sun at: http://java.sun.com/javase.
 Install JDK after downloading, by default JDK will be installed in
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05 (Here jdk1.5.0_05 is JDK’s version)
Setting up Java Environment: After installing the JDK, we need to set at least one environment
variable in order to able to compile and run Java programs. A PATH environment variable
enables the operating system to find the JDK executables when our working directory is not the
JDK's binary directory.
 Setting environment variables from a command prompt: If we set the variables from
a
command prompt, they will only hold for that session. To set the PATH from a command
prompt:
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.2\bin;%PATH%

 Setting environment variables as system variables: If we set the variables as system

variables they will hold continuously.

 Right-click on My Computer
 Choose Properties
 Select the Advanced tab
 Click the Environment Variables button at the bottom
 In system variables tab, select path (system variable) and click on edit button
 A window with variable name path and its value will be displayed.
 Don’t disturb the default path value that is appearing and just append (add) to that path at
the end:
D:\ProgramFiles\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin;
 Finally press OK button.

The Java Programming Environment

Two types of programs that can be developed in java are Applets and Applications. Applets are
java programs. That run as part of a web page and they depend on a web browser in order to run.
Applications are programs that are stored on the user’s system and they do not need a web
browser in order to run.
The Java program environment includes a number of development tools to develop applet and
application. The development tools are part of the system known as “Java Development Kit” or
“JDK”. The JDK include the following.
1. Packages that contain classes.
2. Compiler
3. Debugger
JDK provides tools in the bin directory of JDK and they are as follows.

YASEEN’S Page 5
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Javac : Javac is the java compiler that translates the source code to byte codes. That is, it
converts the source file. Namely the .java file to .class file.
Java : The java interpreter which runs applets and Applications by reading and interpreting the
byte code files. That is, it executes the .class file.
Javadoc : Javadoc is the utility used to produce documentation for the classes from the source
code files.
JDB: JDB is a debugging tool.
The way these tools are applied to build and run application programs is as follows.
The source code file is created using a text editor and saved with a .java (with Extension).
The source code is compiled using the java compiler javac. Which translates source code to byte
codes. The compiled code is executed using the java interpreter java.Which runs applications and
applets by reading the byte codes. Byte codes are instructions that are generated for a virtual
machine. A virtual machine is a program that processes these generalized instructions to machine
specific code.
The lifetime of a JVM
The runtime instance of the java virtual machine has a clear mission in life. To run one java
application. When a java application starts a run time instance is ban when the application
completes the instance dies. If you start three java applications at the same time on the same
computer using the same can create and implementation. You will get three JVM instances. Each
java application runs inside its own java virtual machine. A java virtual machine instance starts
running its solitary application by invoking the main() method of some initial class. The main()
method must be public, static, return void and accept one parameter: a string array. Any class
with such a main() method can be used as the starting point for a java application.
Java Runtime Environment
JRE consists of the java virtual machine. The java plot form core classes and supporting files. It
is the run time part of the java Development Kit. No compiler, no debugger, no tools. The JRE is
the smallest set of executables and files that constitute the standard java plot form.JRE consists
of the JVM interacting with hardware on one side and the JVM and the prg on the other. The
java runtime environment runs code compiled for the JVM by:
Coding the .class files
Performed by the ‘class loader’. The class loader performs security checks here if the .classes are
required across the network.
Verifying bytecode.
Performed by the ‘bytecode verifier’. The bytecode verifier verifies the format of the code object
type conversions and checks for the violation of access rights.
Executing the code
Performed by the runtime interpreter. The interpreter executes the bytecode and makes calls to
the underlying hard. The following Figure illustrates the above steps in sequence.

YASEEN’S Page 6
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

JIT
In the java programming language and environment a Just – In – Time (JIT) compiler is a
program that runs java bytecode ( a program that contains instructions that must be interpreted)
into instructions that can be sent directly to the processor.(machine code or native code).
After you have written a java program the source code is compiled to byte code by JVM. When a
JIT is present the JVM does something different. After reading in the .class file for interpreter
locations, it hands the .class file to the JIT. The JIT will take the byte code and compiled them
into native code for the machine that you are running on. It is faster to grab the bytecodes
compiled them and run the resulting executable with JIT than with just interpreter them. The JIT
is an integral part of the JVM. So you nicer notice its there, except your, java runs faster. Some
environments allow you to choose whether or not to JIT code. Java is dynamic language. So you
are not allowed to “Statistically” compile all the .class files into machine code until they are
actually called. Thus the JIT is really “just in time”. Since it compiles methods on a methods
called. If you call the same method more than once, the JIT code can really pay off as you do not
have to re-JIT the method and can simply reexecute the native code.

2. Programming Structure
Comments: Comments are description about the aim and features of the program. Comments
increase readability of a program. Three types of comments are there in Java:
 Single line comments: These comments start with //
e.g.: // this is comment line
 Multi line comments: These comments start with /* and end with */
e.g.: /* this is comment line*/
 Java documentation comments: These comments start with /** and end with */
These comments are useful to create a HTML file called API (application programming
Interface)document. This file contains description of all the features of software.
Structure of the Java Program:
 As all other programming languages, Java also has a structure.
 The first line of the C/C++ program contains include statement. For example, <stdio.h> is
the header file that contains functions, like printf (), scanf () etc. So if we want to use any
of these functions, we should include this header file in C/ C++ program.
 Similarly in Java first we need to import the required packages. By default java.lang.* is
imported. Java has several such packages in its library. A package is a kind of directory
that contains a group of related classes and interfaces. A class or interface contains
methods.
 Since Java is purely an Object Oriented Programming language, we cannot write a Java
program without having at least one class or object. So, it is mandatory to write a class in
Java program. We should use class keyword for this purpose and then write class name.
 In C/C++, program starts executing from main method similarly in Java, program starts
executing from main method. The return type of main method is void because program
starts executing from main method and it returns nothing.

Sample Program:
//A Simple Java Program
import java.lang.System;
import java.lang.String;
class Sample
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.print ("Hello world");
}
}
 Since Java is purely an Object Oriented Programming language, without creating an
object to a class it is not possible to access methods and members of a class. But main

YASEEN’S Page 8
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

method is also a method inside a class, since program execution starts from main method
we need to call main method without creating an object.
 Static methods are the methods, which can be called and executed without creating
objects.Since we want to call main () method without using an object, we should declare
main () method as static. JVM calls main () method using its Classname.main () at the
time of running the program.
 JVM is a program written by Java Soft people (Java development team) and main () is the
method written by us. Since, main () method should be available to the JVM, it should be
declared as public. If we don’t declare main () method as public, then it doesn’t make
itself available to JVM and JVM cannot execute it.
 JVM always looks for main () method with String type array as parameter otherwise JVM
cannot recognize the main () method, so we must provide String type array as parameter
to main () method.
 A class code starts with a {and ends with a}. A class or an object contains variables and
methods (functions). We can create any number of variables and methods inside the
class.
This is our first program, so we had written only one method called main ().
 Our aim of writing this program is just to display a string “Hello world”. In Java, print ()
method is used to display something on the monitor.
 A method should be called by using objectname.methodname (). So, to call print ()
method,
create an object to PrintStream class then call objectname.print () method.
 An alternative is given to create an object to PrintStream Class i.e. System.out. Here,
System
is the class name and out is a static variable in System class. out is called a field in System class.
When we call this field a PrintStream class object will be created internally. So, we can call
print() method as: System.out.print (“Hello world”);
 println () is also a method belonging to PrintStream class. It throws the cursor to the next
line
after displaying the result.
 In the above Sample program System and String are the classes present in java.lang
package.

In the Java program:

public: It indicates that main() can be called outside the class.
static: It is an access specifier, which indicates that main() can be called directly without
creating an object to the class.
void: It indicates that the method main() doesn’t return a value.
main(): It is a method which is an entry point into the java program. When you run a java
program main () is called first.
String args [ ]: String is a class, which belongs to java.lang package. It can be used as a string
data type in java.

YASEEN’S Page 9
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

args[]: It is an array of string type. It is used to store command line args.

System: It is a class, which belongs to java.lang package.
out: It is an output stream object, which is a member of System class.
println(): It is a method supported by the output stream object “out”. It is used to display any
kind of output on the screen. It gives a new line after printing the output.
print(): It is similar to println(). But doesn’t give a new line after printing the output.

Escape Sequence: Java supports all escape sequence which is supported by C/ C++. A character
preceded by a backslash (\) is an escape sequence and has special meaning to the compiler.
When an escape sequence is encountered in a print statement, the compiler interprets it
accordingly.
Escape Sequence Description

\t Insert a tab in the text at this point.

\b Insert a backspace in the text at this point.

\n Insert a newline in the text at this point.

\r Insert a carriage return in the text at this point.

\f Insert a form feed in the text at this point.

\' Insert a single quote character in the text at this point.

\" Insert a double quote character in the text at this point.

\\ Insert a backslash character in the text at this point.

Creating a Source File:

 Type the program in a text editor (i.e. Notepad, WordPad, Microsoft Word or Edit Plus).
We
can launch the Notepad editor from the Start menu by selecting Programs > Accessories >
Notepad. In a new document, type the above code (i.e. Sample Program).
 Save the program with filename same as Class_name (i.e. Sample.java) in which main
method is written. To do this in Notepad, first choose the File > Save menu item. Then, in
the Save dialog box:
 Using the Save in combo box, specify the folder (directory) where you'll save your file.
In this example, the directory is JQR on the D drive.
 In the File name text field, type "Sample.java", including the quotation marks. Then the
YASEEN’S Page 10
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

dialog box should look like this:

 Now click Save, and exit Notepad.

Compiling the Source File into a .class File:

 To Compile the Sample.java program go to DOS prompt. We can do this from the Start
menu by choosing Run... and then entering cmd. The window should look similar to the
following figure.

 The prompt shows current directory. To compile Sample.java source file, change current
directory to the directory where Sample.java file is located. For example, if source directory
is JQR on the D drive, type the following commands at the prompt and press Enter:

YASEEN’S Page 11
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Now the prompt should change to D:\JQR>

 At the prompt, type the following command and press Enter.
javac Sample.java

 The compiler generates byte code and Sample.class will be created.

Executing the Program (Sample.class):
 To run the program, enter java followed by the class name created at the time of
compilation
at the command prompt in the same directory as:
java Sample

 The program interpreted and the output is displayed.

The Java Virtual Machine: Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is the heart of entire Java program
execution process. First of all, the .java program is converted into a .class file consisting of byte
code instructions by the java compiler at the time of compilation. Remember, this java compiler
is outside the JVM. This .class file is given to the JVM. Following figure shows the architecture
of Java Virtual Machine.

YASEEN’S Page 12
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Figure: The internal architecture of the Java virtual machine.

In JVM, there is a module (or program) called class loader sub system, which performs the
following instructions:
 First of all, it loads the .class file into memory.
 Then it verifies whether all byte code instructions are proper or not. If it finds any
instruction
suspicious, the execution is rejected immediately.
 If the byte instructions are proper, then it allocates necessary memory to execute the
program. This memory is divided into 5 parts, called run time data areas, which contain
the data and results while running the program. These areas are as follows:
 Method area: Method area is the memory block, which stores the class code, code of the
variables and code of the methods in the Java program. (Method means functions written
in a class).
 Heap: This is the area where objects are created. Whenever JVM loads a class, method
and heap areas are immediately created in it.
 Java Stacks: Method code is stored on Method area. But while running a method, it
needs some more memory to store the data and results. This memory is allotted on Java
Stacks. So, Java Stacks are memory area where Java methods are executed. While
executing methods, a separate frame will be created in the Java Stack, where the method
is executed. JVM uses a separate thread (or process) to execute each method.
 PC (Program Counter) registers: These are the registers (memory areas), which
contain memory address of the instructions of the methods. If there are 3 methods, 3 PC
registers will be used to track the instruction of the methods.
 Native Method Stacks: Java methods are executed on Java Stacks. Similarly, native

YASEEN’S Page 13
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

methods (for example C/C++ functions) are executed on Native method stacks. To execute
the native methods, generally native method libraries (for example C/C++ header files) are
required. These header files are located and connected to JVM by a program, called Native
method interface.
Execution Engine contains interpreter and JIT compiler which translates the byte code
instructions into machine language which are executed by the microprocessor. Hot spot
(loops/iterations) is the area in .class file i.e. executed by JIT compiler. JVM will identify the Hot
spots in the .class files and it will give it to JIT compiler where the normal instructions and
statements of Java program are executed by the Java interpreter.

3. Naming Conventions, Data Types and Operators

Naming Conventions: Naming conventions specify the rules to be followed by a Java
programmer while writing the names of packages, classes, methods etc.
 Package names are written in small letters.
e.g.: java.io, java.lang, java.awt etc
 Each word of class name and interface name starts with a capital
e.g.: Sample, AddTwoNumbers
 Method names start with small letters then each word start with a capital
e.g.: sum (), sumTwoNumbers (), minValue ()
 Variable names also follow the same above method rule
e.g.: sum, count, totalCount
 Constants should be written using all capital letters
e.g.: PI, COUNT
 Keywords are reserved words and are written in small letters.
e.g.: int, short, float, public, void
Data Types: The classification of data item is called data type. Java defines eight simple types
of data. byte, short, int, long, char, float, double and boolean. These can be put in four groups:

Integer Data Types: These data types store integer numbers

e.g.: byte rno = 10;

long x = 150L; L means forcing JVM to allot 8 bytes.

 Float Data Types: These data types handle floating point numbers.

YASEEN’S Page 14
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

e.g.: float pi = 3.142f;

double distance = 1.98e8;

 Character Data Type: This data type represents a single character. char data type in java
uses two bytes of memory also called Unicode system. Unicode is a specification to include
alphabets of all international languages into the character set of java.

e.g.: char ch = 'x';

 Boolean Data Type: can handle truth values either true or false
e.g.:- boolean response = true;
 Operators: An operator is a symbol that performs an operation. An operator acts on
variables
called operands.
 Arithmetic operators: These operators are used to perform fundamental operations like
addition, subtraction, multiplication etc.

 Assignment operator: This operator (=) is used to store some value into a variable.

 Unary operators: As the name indicates unary operator’s act only on one operand.

 Relational operators: These operators are used for comparison purpose.

YASEEN’S Page 15
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 Logical operators: Logical operators are used to construct compound conditions. A

compound condition is a combination of several simple conditions.

 Bitwise operators: These operators act on individual bits (0 and 1) of the operands. They
act only on integer data types, i.e. byte, short, long and int.

 Ternary Operator or Conditional Operator (? :): This operator is called ternary

because it
acts on 3 variables. The syntax for this operator is:
Variable = Expression1? Expression2: Expression3;
First Expression1 is evaluated. If it is true, then Expression2 value is stored into variable
otherwise Expression3 value is stored into the variable.
e.g.: max = (a>b) ? a: b;

YASEEN’S Page 16

Program 1: Write a program to perform arithmetic operations

//Addition of two numbers
class AddTwoNumbers
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ int i=10, j=20;
System.out.println("Addition of two numbers is : " + (i+j));
System.out.println("Subtraction of two numbers is : " + (i-j));
System.out.println("Multiplication of two numbers is : " + (i*j));
System.out.println("Quotient after division is : " + (i/j) );
System.out.println("Remainder after division is : " +(i%j) );
}
}
Output:

Program 2: Write a program to perform Bitwise operations

//Bitwise Operations
class Bits
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ byte x,y;
x=10;
y=11;
System.out.println ("~x="+(~x));
System.out.println ("x & y="+(x&y));
System.out.println ("x | y="+(x|y));
System.out.println ("x ^ y="+(x^y));
System.out.println ("x<<2="+(x<<2));
System.out.println ("x>>2="+(x>>2));
System.out.println ("x>>>2="+(x>>>2));
}
}
Output:

4.Control Statements
Control statements are the statements which alter the flow of execution and provide better
control to the programmer on the flow of execution. In Java control statements are categorized
into selection control statements, iteration control statements and jump control statements.
 Java’s Selection Statements: Java supports two selection statements: if and switch.
These
statements allow us to control the flow of program execution based on condition.
 if Statement: if statement performs a task depending on whether a condition is true or
false.
Syntax: if (condition)
statement1;
else
statement2;
Here, each statement may be a single statement or a compound statement enclosed in curly
braces (that is, a block). The condition is any expression that returns a boolean value. The else
clause is optional.

Program 1: Write a program to find biggest of three numbers.

//Biggest of three numbers
class BiggestNo
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ int a=5,b=7,c=6;
if ( a > b && a>c)
System.out.println ("a is big");
else if ( b > c)
System.out.println ("b is big");
else
System.out.println ("c is big");
}
YASEEN’S Page 18
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

}
Output:

 Switch Statement: When there are several options and we have to choose only one
option from the available ones, we can use switch statement.
Syntax: switch (expression)
{ case value1: //statement sequence
break;
case value2: //statement sequence
break;
………….…..
case valueN: //statement sequence
break;
default: //default statement sequence
}
Here, depending on the value of the expression, a particular corresponding case will be executed.
Program 2: Write a program for using the switch statement to execute a particular task
depending on color value.
//To display a color name depending on color value
class ColorDemo
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ char color = ‘r’;
switch (color)
{ case ‘r’: System.out.println (“red”); break;
case ‘g’: System.out.println (“green”); break;
case ‘b’: System.out.println (“blue”); break;
case ‘y’: System.out.println (“yellow”); break;
case ‘w’: System.out.println (“white”); break;
default: System.out.println (“No Color Selected”);
}
}
}
Output:

YASEEN’S Page 19
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 Java’s Iteration Statements: Java’s iteration statements are for, while and do-while.
These
statements are used to repeat same set of instructions specified number of times called
loops.
A loop repeatedly executes the same set of instructions until a termination condition is
met.

 while Loop: while loop repeats a group of statements as long as condition is true. Once
the condition is false, the loop is terminated. In while loop, the condition is tested first; if
it is true, then only the statements are executed. while loop is called as entry control
loop.
Syntax: while (condition)
{
statements;
}

Program 3: Write a program to generate numbers from 1 to 20.

//Program to generate numbers from 1 to 20.
class Natural
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ int i=1;
while (i <= 20)
{ System.out.print (i + “\t”);
i++;
}
}
}
Output:

YASEEN’S Page 20
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 do…while Loop: do…while loop repeats a group of statements as long as condition is

true. In do...while loop, the statements are executed first and then the condition is tested.
do…while loop is also called as exit control loop.
Syntax: do
{
statements;
} while (condition);
Program 4: Write a program to generate numbers from 1 to 20.
//Program to generate numbers from 1 to 20.
class Natural
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ int i=1;
do
{ System.out.print (i + “\t”);
i++;
} while (i <= 20);
}
}
Output:

 for Loop: The for loop is also same as do…while or while loop, but it is more compact
syntactically. The for loop executes a group of statements as long as a condition is true.
Syntax: for (expression1; expression2; expression3)
{ statements;
}
Here, expression1 is used to initialize the variables, expression2 is used for condition checking
and expression3 is used for increment or decrement variable value.
Program 5: Write a program to generate numbers from 1 to 20.
//Program to generate numbers from 1 to 20.
class Natural
YASEEN’S Page 21
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

{ public static void main(String args[])

{ int i;
for (i=1; i<=20; i++)
System.out.print (i + “\t”);
}
}
Output:

 Java’s Jump Statements: Java supports three jump statements: break, continue and
return.
These statements transfer control to another part of the program.
 break:
 break can be used inside a loop to come out of it.
 break can be used inside the switch block to come out of the switch block.
 break can be used in nested blocks to go to the end of a block. Nested blocks
represent a block written within another block.
Syntax: break; (or) break label;//here label represents the name of the block.

Program 6: Write a program to use break as a civilized form of goto.

//using break as a civilized form of goto
class BreakDemo
{ public static void main (String args[])
{ boolean t = true;
first:
{
second:
{
third:
{
System.out.println (“Before the break”);
if (t) break second; // break out of second block
System.out.println (“This won’t execute”);
}
System.out.println (“This won’t execute”);

YASEEN’S Page 22
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

}
System.out.println (“This is after second block”);
}
}
}
Output:

 continue: This statement is useful to continue the next repetition of a loop/ iteration.
When continue is executed, subsequent statements inside the loop are not executed.
Syntax: continue;
Program 7: Write a program to generate numbers from 1 to 20.
//Program to generate numbers from 1 to 20.

5. Accepting Input from Keyboard

A stream represents flow of data from one place to other place. Streams are of two types in java.
Input streams which are used to accept or receive data. Output streams are used to display or
write data. Streams are represented as classes in java.io package.
 System.in: This represents InputStream object, which by default represents standard
input
device that is keyboard.
 System.out: This represents PrintStream object, which by default represents standard
output
device that is monitor.
 System.err: This field also represents PrintStream object, which by default represents

YASEEN’S Page 24
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

monitor. System.out is used to display normal messages and results whereas System.err
is
used to display error messages.
To accept data from the keyboard:

 Connect the keyboard to an input stream object. Here, we can use InputStreamReader
that
can read data from the keyboard.
InputSteamReader obj = new InputStreamReader (System.in);
 Connect InputStreamReader to BufferReader, which is another input type of stream. We
are
using BufferedReader as it has got methods to read data properly, coming from the
stream.
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (obj);
The above two steps can be combined and rewritten in a single statement as:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader
(System.in));
 Now, we can read the data coming from the keyboard using read () and readLine ()
methods
available in BufferedReader class.

Figure: Reading data from keyboard

Accepting a Single Character from the Keyboard:
 Create a BufferedReader class object (br).
 Then read a single character from the keyboard using read() method as:
char ch = (char) br.read();
 The read method reads a single character from the keyboard but it returns its ASCII
number,
which is an integer. Since, this integer number cannot be stored into character type
variable

YASEEN’S Page 25
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

ch, we should convert it into char type by writing (char) before the method. int data type
is
converted into char data type, converting one data type into another data type is called type
casting.

Accepting a String from Keyboard:

 Create a BufferedReader class object (br).
 Then read a string from the keyboard using readLine() method as:
String str = br.readLine ();
 readLine () method accepts a string from keyboard and returns the string into str. In this
case,
casting is not needed since readLine () is taking a string and returning the same data type.

Accepting an Integer value from Keyboard:

 First, we should accept the integer number from the keyboard as a string, using readLine
()
as: String str = br.readLine ();
 Now, the number is in str, i.e. in form of a string. This should be converted into an int by
using parseInt () method, method of Integer class as:
int n = Integer.parseInt (str);
If needed, the above two statements can be combined and written as:
int n = Integer.parseInt (br.readLine() );
 parseInt () is a static method in Integer class, so it can be called using class name as
Integer.parseInt ().
 We are not using casting to convert String type into int type. The reason is String is a
class
and int is a fundamental data type. Converting a class type into a fundamental data type
is not
possible by using casting. It is possible by using the method Integer.parseInt().
Accepting a Float value from Keyboard:

 We can accept a float value from the keyboard with the help of the following statement:
float n = Float.parseFloat (br.readLine() );
 We are accepting a float value in the form of a string using br.readLine () and then
passing
the string to Float.parseFloat () to convert it into float. parseFloat () is a static method in
Float class.

Accepting a Double value from Keyboard:

 We can accept a double value from the keyboard with the help of the following
statement:

YASEEN’S Page 26
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

double n = Double.parseDouble (br.readLine() );

 We are accepting a double value in the form of a string using br.readLine () and then
passing
the string to Double.parseDouble () to convert it into double. parseDouble () is a static
method in Double class.

Accepting Other Types of Values:

 To accept a byte value: byte n = Byte.parseByte (br.readLine () );
 To accept a short value: short n = Short.parseShort (br.readLine () );
 To accept a long value: long n = Long.parseLong (br.readLine () );
 To accept a boolean value: boolean x = Boolean.parseBoolean (br.readLine () );
If read () / readLine () method could not accept values due to some reason (like insufficient
memory or illegal character), then it gives rise to a runtime error which is called by the name
IOException, where IO stands for Input/Output and Exception represents runtime error.But we
do not know how to handle this exception, in Java we can use throws command to throw the
exception without handling it by writing: throws IOException at the side of the method where
read ()/ readLine () is used.
Program 1: Write a program to accept and display student details.
// Accepting and displaying student details.
import java.io.*;
class StudentDemo
{ public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
{ // Create BufferedReader object to accept data
BufferedReader br =new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));
//Accept student details
System.out.print ("Enter roll number: ");
int rno = Integer.parseInt (br.readLine());
System.out.print (“Enter Gender (M/F): “);
char gender = (char)br.read();
br.skip (2);
System.out.print ("Enter Student name: ");
String name = br.readLine ()
System.out.println ("Roll No.: " + rno);
System.out.println ("Gender: " + gender);
System.out.println ("Name: " + name);
}
}
Output:

YASEEN’S Page 27
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

In the above program after accepting gender of the student, br.skip (2) is used. The reason is that
we used read () method to accept the gender value and then readLine () is used to accept the
name. When we type M for gender and press enter, then it releases a \n code. So at gender
column, we are giving two characters M and \n. But, read () method takes only the first character
and rejects the next character, i.e. \n, which is trapped by the next readLine () method and name
will accept \n. For this purpose, we can use skip () method of BufferedReader, which helps in
skipping a specified number of characters. Suppose we take \n as two characters; now to skip
them, we can write br.skip (2);

6. Arrays, Strings & StringBuffer

Arrays: An array represents a group of elements of same data type. Arrays are generally
categorized into two types:
 Single Dimensional arrays (or 1 Dimensional arrays)
 Multi-Dimensional arrays (or 2 Dimensional arrays, 3 Dimensional arrays, …)
Single Dimensional Arrays: A one dimensional array or single dimensional array represents a
row or a column of elements. For example, the marks obtained by a student in 5 different
subjects can be represented by a 1D array.
 We can declare a one dimensional array and directly store elements at the time of its
declaration, as:
int marks[] = {50, 60, 55, 67, 70};
 We can create a 1D array by declaring the array first and then allocate memory for it by
using new operator, as: int marks[]; //declare marks array
marks = new int[5]; //allot memory for storing 5 elements
These two statements also can be written as: int marks [] = new int [5];
Program 1: Write a program to accept elements into an array and display the same.
// program to accept elements into an array and display the same.
import java.io.*;
class ArrayDemo1
{ public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException
{ //Create a BufferedReader class object (br)
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));
YASEEN’S Page 28
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

System.out.println (“How many elements: “ );

int n = Integer.parseInt (br.readLine ());
//create a 1D array with size n
int a[] = new int[n];
System.out.print ("Enter elements into array : ");
for (int i = 0; i<n;i++)
a [i] = Integer.parseInt ( br.readLine ());
System.out.print (“The entered elements in the array are: “);
for (int i =0; i < n; i++)
System.out.print (a[i] + “\t”);
}
}

Output:

Multi-Dimensional Arrays (2D, 3D … arrays): Multi dimensional arrays represent 2D, 3D …

arrays. A two dimensional array is a combination of two or more (1D) one dimensional arrays. A
three dimensional array is a combination of two or more (2D) two dimensional arrays.
 Two Dimensional Arrays (2d array): A two dimensional array represents several rows
and
columns of data. To represent a two dimensional array, we should use two pairs of
square
braces [ ] [ ] after the array name. For example, the marks obtained by a group of
students in
five different subjects can be represented by a 2D array.
 We can declare a two dimensional array and directly store elements at the time of its
declaration, as:

YASEEN’S Page 29
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

int marks[] [] = {{50, 60, 55, 67, 70},{62, 65, 70, 70, 81}, {72, 66, 77, 80, 69} };
 We can create a two dimensional array by declaring the array first and then we can allot
memory for it by using new operator as:
int marks[ ] [ ]; //declare marks array
marks = new int[3][5]; //allot memory for storing 15 elements.
These two statements also can be written as: int marks [ ][ ] = new int[3][5];
Program 2: Write a program to take a 2D array and display its elements in the form of a matrix.
//Displaying a 2D array as a matrix
class Matrix
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ //take a 2D array
int x[ ][ ] = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6} };
// display the array elements
for (int i = 0 ; i < 2 ; i++)
{ System.out.println ();
for (int j = 0 ; j < 3 ; j++)
System.out.print(x[i][j] + “\t”);
}
}
}

Output:

 Three Dimensional arrays (3D arrays): We can consider a three dimensional array as a
combination of several two dimensional arrays. To represent a three dimensional array,
we
should use three pairs of square braces [ ] [ ] after the array name.
 We can declare a three dimensional array and directly store elements at the time of its
declaration, as:

YASEEN’S Page 30
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

int arr[ ] [ ] [ ] = {{{50, 51, 52},{60, 61, 62}}, {{70, 71, 72}, {80, 81, 82}}};

 We can create a three dimensional array by declaring the array first and then we can allot
memory for it by using new operator as:
int arr[ ] [ ] = new int[2][2][3]; //allot memory for storing 15 elements.
arrayname.length: If we want to know the size of any array, we can use the property ‘length’ of
an array. In case of 2D, 3D length property gives the number of rows of the array.
Strings: A String represents group of characters. Strings are represented as String objects in
java.
Creating Strings:
· We can declare a String variable and directly store a String literal using assignment operator.
String str = "Hello";
· We can create String object using new operator with some data.
String s1 = new String ("Java");
· We can create a String by using character array also.
char arr[] = { 'p','r','o',’g’,’r’,’a’,’m’};
· We can create a String by passing array name to it, as:
String s2 = new String (arr);
· We can create a String by passing array name and specifying which characters we need:
String s3 = new String (str, 2, 3);
Here starting from 2nd character a total of 3 characters are copied into String s3.

String Class Methods:

YASEEN’S Page 31
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Program 3: Write a program using some important methods of String class.

// program using String class methods
class StrOps
{ public static void main(String args [])
{ String str1 = "When it comes to Web programming, Java is #1.";
String str2 = new String (str1);
String str3 = "Java strings are powerful.";
int result, idx; char ch;
System.out.println ("Length of str1: " + str1.length ());
// display str1, one char at a time.

YASEEN’S Page 32
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

for(int i=0; i < str1.length(); i++)

System.out.print (str1.charAt (i));
System.out.println ();
if (str1.equals (str2) )
System.out.println ("str1 equals str2");
else
System.out.println ("str1 does not equal str2");
if (str1.equals (str3) )
System.out.println ("str1 equals str3");
else
System.out.println ("str1 does not equal str3");
result = str1.compareTo (str3);
if(result == 0)
System.out.println ("str1 and str3 are equal");
else if(result < 0)
System.out.println ("str1 is less than str3");
else
System.out.println ("str1 is greater than str3");
str2 = "One Two Three One"; // assign a new string to str2
idx = str2.indexOf ("One");
System.out.println ("Index of first occurrence of One: " + idx);
idx = str2.lastIndexOf("One");
System.out.println ("Index of last occurrence of One: " + idx);
}
}
Output:

We can divide objects broadly as mutable and immutable objects. Mutable objects are those
objects whose contents can be modified. Immutable objects are those objects, once created can
not be modified. String objects are immutable. The methods that directly manipulate data of the
object are not available in String class.
StringBuffer: StringBuffer objects are mutable, so they can be modified. The methods that

YASEEN’S Page 33
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

directly manipulate data of the object are available in StringBuffer class.

Creating StringBuffer:
· We can create a StringBuffer object by using new operator and pass the string to the object,
as: StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer ("hai");
· We can create a StringBuffer object by first allotting memory to the StringBuffer object
using new operator and later storing the String into it as:
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer (30);
In general a StringBuffer object will be created with a default capacity of 16 characters. Here,
StringBuffer object is created as an empty object with a capacity for storing 30 characters. Even
if we declare the capacity as 30, it is possible to store more than 30 characters into StringBuffer.
To store characters, we can use append () method as:
Sb.append (“hai”);
StringBuffer Class Methods:

Program 4: Write a program using some important methods of StringBuffer class.

// program using StringBuffer class methods
import java.io.*;
class Mutable
{ public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{ // to accept data from keyboard
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));
System.out.print ("Enter sur name : ");
String sur=br.readLine ( );
System.out.print ("Enter mid name : ");
String mid=br.readLine ( );
System.out.print ("Enter last name : ");
String last=br.readLine ( );
// create String Buffer object
StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer ( );
// append sur, last to sb
sb.append (sur);
sb.append (last);

YASEEN’S Page 34
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

// insert mid after sur

int n=sur.length ( );
sb.insert (n, mid);
// display full name
System.out.println ("Full name = "+sb);
System.out.println ("In reverse ="+sb.reverse ( ));
}
}
Output:

7. Introduction to OOPs

Languages like Pascal, C, FORTRAN, and COBOL are called procedure oriented programming
languages. Since in these languages, a programmer uses procedures or functions to perform a
task. When the programmer wants to write a program, he will first divide the task into separate
sub tasks, each of which is expressed as functions/ procedures. This approach is called procedure
oriented approach.
The languages like C++ and Java use classes and object in their programs and are called
Object Oriented Programming languages. The main task is divided into several modules and
these are represented as classes. Each class can perform some tasks for which several methods
are written in a class. This approach is called Object Oriented approach.

Features of OOP:
 Class: In object-oriented programming, a class is a programming language construct that
is
used as a blueprint to create objects. This blueprint includes attributes and methods that
the
created objects all share. Usually, a class represents a person, place, or thing - it is an
abstraction of a concept within a computer program. Fundamentally, it encapsulates the
state
and behavior of that which it conceptually represents. It encapsulates state through data
placeholders called member variables; it encapsulates behavior through reusable code
called
methods.
General form of a class: class class_name
{
Properties (variables);
Actions (methods);
}
e.g.: class Student
{ //properties -- variables
int rollNo;
String name;
//methods -- actions
void display ()
{
System.out.println ("Student Roll Number is: " + rollNo);
System.out.println ("Student Name is: " + name);
}
}
Note: Variables inside a class are called as instance variables. Variables inside a method are
called as method variables.
 Object: An Object is a real time entity. An object is an instance of a class. Instance
means
physically happening. An object will have some properties and it can perform some
actions.
Object contains variables and methods. The objects which exhibit similar properties and
actions are grouped under one class. “To give a real world analogy, a house is
constructed
according to a specification. Here, the specification is a blueprint that represents a class,
and
the constructed house represents the object”.
 To access the properties and methods of a class, we must declare a variable of that class

YASEEN’S Page 37
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

type. This variable does not define an object. Instead, it is simply a variable that can refer
to an object.
 We must acquire an actual, physical copy of the object and assign it to that variable. We
can do this using new operator. The new operator dynamically allocates memory for an
object and returns a reference to it. This reference is, more or less, the address in
memory
of the object allocated by new. This reference is then stored in the variable. Thus, in
Java,
all class objects must be dynamically allocated.
General form of an Object:
Class_name variable_name; // declare reference to object
variable_name = new Class_name ( ); // allocate an object
e.g.: Student s; // s is reference variable
s = new Student (); // allocate an object to reference variable s
The above two steps can be combined and rewritten in a single statement as:
Student s = new Student ();
Now we can access the properties and methods of a class by using object with dot
operator as:
s.rollNo, s.name, s.display ()

 Encapsulation: Wrapping up of data (variables) and methods into single unit is called
Encapsulation. Class is an example for encapsulation. Encapsulation can be described as
a
protective barrier that prevents the code and data being randomly accessed by other code
defined outside the class. Encapsulation is the technique of making the fields in a class
private and providing access to the fields via methods. If a field is declared private, it
cannot
be accessed by anyone outside the class.
e.g.: class Student
{
private int rollNo;
private String name;
//methods -- actions
void display ()
{
System.out.println ("Student Roll Number is: " + rollNo);
System.out.println ("Student Name is: " + name);
}
}

YASEEN’S Page 38
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 Abstraction: Providing the essential features without its inner details is called
abstraction
(or) hiding internal implementation is called Abstraction. We can enhance the internal
implementation without effecting outside world. Abstraction provides security. A class
contains lot of data and the user does not need the entire data. The advantage of
abstraction
is that every user will get his own view of the data according to his requirements and will
not
get confused with unnecessary data. A bank clerk should see the customer details like
account number, name and balance amount in the account. He should not be entitled to
see
the sensitive data like the staff salaries, profit or loss of the bank etc. So such data can be
abstracted from the clerks view.
e.g.: class Bank
{ private int accno;
private String name;
private float balance;
private float profit;
private float loan;
void display_to_clerk ()
{
System.out.println ("Accno = " + accno);
System.out.println ("Name = " + name);
System.out.println ("Balance = " + balance);
}
}
In the preceding class, inspite of several data items, the display_to_clerk () method is able
to access and display only the accno, name and balance values. It cannot access profit and
loan of the customer. This means the profit and loan data is hidden from the view of the
bank clerk.
 Inheritance: Acquiring the properties from one class to another class is called
inheritance
(or) producing new class from already existing class is called inheritance. Reusability of
code
is main advantage of inheritance. In Java inheritance is achieved by using extends
keyword.
The properties with access specifier private cannot be inherited.
e.g.: class Parent
{
String parentName;
String familyName;
}

YASEEN’S Page 39
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

class Child extends Parent

{
String childName;
int childAge;
void printMyName()
{
System.out.println (“My name is“+childName+” ”+familyName);
}
}
In the above example, the child has inherited its family name from the parent class just by
inheriting the class.

 Polymorphism: The word polymorphism came from two Greek words ‘poly’ means
‘many’
and ‘morphos’ means ‘forms’. Thus, polymorphism represents the ability to assume
several
different forms. The ability to define more than one function with the same name is
called
Polymorphism
e.g.: int add (int a, int b)
float add (float a, int b)
float add (int a , float b)
void add (float a)
int add (int a)
 Message Passing: Calling a method in a class is called message passing. We can call
methods of a class by using object with dot operator as:
object_name.method_name ();
e.g.: s.display (); ob.add (2, 5); ob.printMyName ();

Program 1: Write a program to display details of student using class and object.
//Program to display the details of a student using class and object
class Student
{ int rollNo; //properties -- variables
String name;
void display () //method -- action
{ System.out.println ("Student Roll Number is: " + rollNo);
System.out.println ("Student Name is: " + name);
}
}
class StudentDemo
{ public static void main(String args[])
{

YASEEN’S Page 40
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

//create an object to Student class

Student s = new Student ();
//call display () method inside Student class using object s
s.display ();
}
}
Output:

When the programmer does not initialize the instance variables, java compiler will write code
and initializes the variables with default values.

Initializing Instance Variables:

· Type 1: We can initialize instance variables directly in the class using assignment operator.
In this type every object is initialized with the same data.
int rollNo = 101;
String name = “hai”;

Program 2: Let us rewrite the Program 1.

//Program to display the details of a student using class and object

YASEEN’S Page 41
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

class Student
{ int rollNo = 101;
String name = “Surya“;
void display ()
{ System.out.println ("Student Roll Number is: " + rollNo);
System.out.print ("Student Name is: " + name);
}
}
class StudentDemo
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ Student s1 = new Student ();
System.out.println ("First Student Details : " );
s1.display ();
Student s2 = new Student ();
System.out.println ("Second Student Details : " );
s2.display ();
}
}
Output:

 Type 2: We can initialize one class instance variables in another class using reference
variable.
s.rollNo = 101;
s.name = “Kiran”;
Program 3: Let us rewrite the Program 1.
//Program to display the details of a student using class and object
class Student
{ int rollNo;
String name;
void display ()
{
System.out.println ("Student Roll Number is: " + rollNo);
System.out.print ("Student Name is: " + name);
}
}
YASEEN’S Page 42
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

class StudentDemo
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ Student s1 = new Student ();
System.out.println ("First Student Details : " );
s1.rollNo = 101;
s1.name = "Suresh";
s1.display ();
Student s2 = new Student ();
System.out.println ("Second Student Details : " );
s2.rollNo = 102;
s2.name = "Ramesh";
s2.display ();
}
}
Output:

In this type of initialization the properties (variables in the class) are not available, if they are
declared as private.
Access Specifiers: An access specifier is a key word that represents how to access a member
of a class. There are four access specifiers in java.
 private: private members of a class are not available outside the class.
 public: public members of a class are available anywhere outside the class.
 protected: protected members are available outside the class.
 default: if no access specifier is used then default specifier is used by java compiler.
Default members are available outside the class.
 Type 3: We can initialize instance variables using a constructor.
Constructor:
 A constructor is similar to a method that initializes the instance variables of a class.
 A constructor name and classname must be same.
 A constructor may have or may not have parameters. Parameters are local variables to
receive data.
 A constructor without any parameters is called default constructor.

YASEEN’S Page 43
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

e.g. class Student

{ int rollNo;
String name;
Student ()
{ rollNo = 101;
name = “Kiran”;
}
}
 A constructor with one or more parameters is called parameterized constructor.
e.g. class Student
{ int rollNo;
String name;
Student (int r, String n)
{ rollNo = r;
name = n;
}
}

 A constructor does not return any value, not even void.

 A constructor is called and executed at the time of creating an object.
 A constructor is called only once per object.
 Default constructor is used to initialize every object with same data where as
parameterized constructor is used to initialize each object with different data.
 If no constructor is written in a class then java compiler will provide default values.
Program 4: Write a program to initialize student details using default constructor and
display the same.
//Program to initialize student details using default constructor and displaying the same.
class Student
{ int rollNo;
String name;
Student ()
{ rollNo = 101;
name = "Suresh";
}
void display ()
{ System.out.println ("Student Roll Number is: " + rollNo);
System.out.println ("Student Name is: " + name);
}

System.out.println (“s2 object contains: “ );

s2.display ();
}
}

Output:

 The keyword ‘this’: There will be situations where a method wants to refer to the object
which invoked it. To perform this we use ‘this’ keyword. There are no restrictions to use
‘this’ keyword we can use this inside any method for referring the current object. This
keyword is always a reference to the object on which the method was invoked. We can
use ‘this’ keyword wherever a reference to an object of the current class type is
permitted. ‘this’ is a key word that refers to present class object. It refers to
 Present class instance variables
 Present class methods.
 Present class constructor.
Program 6: Write a program to use ‘this’ to refer the current class parameterized constructor
and current class instance variable.
//this demo
class Person
{
String name;
Person ( )
{ this (“Ravi Sekhar”); // calling present class parameterized constructor
this.display ( ); // calling present class method
}
Person (String name)
{ this.name = name; // assigning present class variable with parameter “name”
}
void display( )
{ System.out.println ("Person Name is = " + name);
}

}
class ThisDemo
{ public static void main(String args[])
{
Person p = new Person ( );
}
}

Output:

Garbage Collection: Generally memory is allocated to objects by using ‘new’ operator and
deleting an allocated memory is uncommon. This deletion of memory is supported by delete
operator in C++ but this deletion of allocated memory works automatically in Java. This
automatic deletion of already allocated but unused memory is called as garbage collection. This
operation of garbage collection is accomplished by a method named “gc ()”. This method is used
for garbage collection.
The finalize( ) Method: It is possible to define a method that will be called just before an
object's final destruction by the garbage collector. This method is called finalize( ) method. To
add a finalizer to a class, simply define the finalize( ) method. The Java runtime calls that
method whenever it is about to recycle an object of that class. Inside the finalize( ) method
specify those actions that must be performed before an object is destroyed. The finalize( )
method has this general form:
protected void finalize( )
{
// finalization code here
}
Here, the keyword protected is a specifier that prevents access to finalize ( ) by code defined
outside its class. This means that you cannot know when.or even if.finalize ( ) will be executed.
For example, if your program ends before garbage collection occurs, finalize ( ) will not execute.
8. Methods & Inner Class
Methods: A method represents a group of statements to perform a task. A method contains two
parts: method header (or) method prototype is first part. This part contains method name, method
parameters and method returntype.
return_type methodname (param1, param2, ……)
e.g.: double sum (double d1, double d2), void sum (), float power (float x, int n), etc.
The second part contains method body. This part represents the logic to perform the task in the
YASEEN’S Page 47
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

form of a group of statements.

{
Statements;
}
Note: If a method returns a value then return statement should be written in method body.
e.g.: return x; return 1; return (x+y-2);
 Instance Methods:
 Methods which act upon instance variables of a class are called instance methods.
 To call instance methods use objectname.methodname.
 Instance variable is a variable whose separate copy is available in every object.
 Any modifications to instance variable in one object will not affect the instance variable
of other objects. These variables are created on heap.
Program 1: Write a program to access instance variable using instance method.
//instance method accessing instance variable
class Sample
{ int x = 10;
void display( )
{ x++;
System.out.println (" x value is : " + x);
}
}
class SDemo
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ Sample s1 = new Sample( );
System.out.print (“s1 Object Contains : “);
s1.display ();
Sample s2 = new Sample( );
System.out.print (“s2 Object Contains : “);
s2.display ();
}
}
Output:

Note: Instance methods can read and act upon static variables also.
Static Methods:
 Static methods can read and act upon static variables.
 Static methods cannot read and act upon instance variables.
YASEEN’S Page 48
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 Static variable is a variable whose single copy is shared by all the objects.
 Static methods are declared using keyword static.
 Static methods can be called using objectname.methodname (or) classname.methodname.
 From any object, if static variable is modified it affects all the objects. Static variables are
stored on method area.

YASEEN’S Page 49
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Program 2: Write a program to access static variable using static method.

//static method accessing static variable
class Sample
{ static int x = 10;
static void display( )
{ x++;
System.out.println (" x value is = " + x);
}
}
class SDemo
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ System.out.print (“Calling static method using Class name : “);
Sample.display ();
Sample s1 = new Sample ( );
System.out.print (“Calling static method using Object name : “);
s1.display ();
}
}
Output:

Inner Class: A class with in another class is called Inner class. When the programmer wants to
restrict the access of entire code of a class, creates an inner class as a private class. The way to
access the inner class is through its outer class only.
 Inner class is a safety mechanism.
 Inner class is hidden in outer class from other classes.
 Only inner class can be private.
 An object to Inner class can be created only in its outer class.
 An object to Inner class cannot be created in any other class.
 Outer class object and Inner class objects are created in separate memory locations.
 Outer class members are available to Inner class object.
 Inner class object will have an additional invisible field called ‘this$0’ that stores a
reference
of outer class object.
 Inner class members are referenced as: this.member;
 Outer class members are referred as: Outerclass.this.member;

Program 3: Write a program to access private members of a class using inner class.
// inner class demo
class Bank
{ private double bal, rate;
Bank (double b, double r)
{ bal=b;
rate = r;
}
void display ( )
{ Interest in=new Interest ();
in.calculateInterest ( );
System.out.println ("New Balance : " + bal);
}
private class Interest
{ void calculateInterest ( )
{ System.out.println ("Balance = "+ bal);
double interest=bal* rate/100;
System.out.println ("interest = "+interest);
bal+=interest;
}
}
}
class InnerDemo
{ public static void main (String args[])
{ Bank account = new Bank (20000, 5);
account.display ();
}
}
Output:

9. Inheritance
Inheritance: Creating new class from existing class such that the features of existing class are
available to the new class is called inheritance. Already existing class is called super class &
produced class is called sub class. Using inheritance while creating sub classes a programmer
can reuse the super class code without rewriting it.
Syntax: class subclass_name extends superclass_name
e.g.: class Child extends Parent
Program 1: Write a program to create a Person class which contains general details of a person
and create a sub class Employ which contains company details of a person. Reuse the general
details of the person in its sub class.
// Inheritance Example
class Person
{ String name;
String permanentAddress;
int age;
void set_PermanentDetails (String name, String permanentAddress, int age)
{ this.name = name;
this.permanentAddress = permanentAddress;
this.age = age;
}
void get_PermanentDetails ()
{ System.out.println ("Name : " + name);
System.out.println ("Permanent Address : " + permanentAddress);
System.out.println ("Age :" + age);
}
}
class Employ extends Person
{ int id;
String companyName;
String companyAddress;
Employ (int id, String name, String permanentAddress, int age,
String companyName, String companyAddress)
{ this.id = id;
set_PermanentDetails (name, permanentAddress, age);
this.companyName = companyName;
this.companyAddress = companyAddress;
}

YASEEN’S Page 52
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

void get_EmployDetails ()
{ System.out.println ("Employ Id : " + id);
get_PermanentDetails ();
System.out.println ("Company Name : "+ companyName);
System.out.println ("Company Address : "+companyAddress);
}
}
class InherDemo
{ public static void main (String args [])
{ Employ e1 = new Employ (101, "Suresh Kumar", "18-Madhura Nagar-Tirupati",
29, "Centris Software- Chennai", "20-RVS Nagar");
e1.get_EmployDetails ();
}
}
Output:

Program 2: Write a program to illustrate the order of calling of default constructor in super and
sub class.
// Default constructors in super and sub class
class One
{ One ( ) //super class default constructor
{
System.out.println ("Super class default constructor called");
}
}
class Two extends One
{ Two ( ) //sub class default constructor
{
System.out.println ("Sub class default constructor called");
}
}
class Const
{ public static void main (String args[])
{ Two t=new Two ( ); //create sub class object

YASEEN’S Page 53
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

}
}

Output:

 Super class default constructor is available to sub class by default.

 First super class default constructor is executed then sub class default constructor is
executed.
 Super class parameterized constructor is not automatically available to subclass. super is
the key word that refers to super class.
The keyword ‘super’:
 · super can be used to refer super class variables as: super.variable
 · super can be used to refer super class methods as: super.method ()
 · super can be used to refer super class constructor as: super (values)
Program 3: Write a program to access the super class method, super class parameterized
constructor and super class instance variable by using super keyword from sub class.
// super refers to super class- constructors, instance variables and methods
class A
{ int x;
A (int x)
{
this.x = x;
}
void show( )
{ System.out.println("super class method: x = "+x);
}
}
class B extends A
{ int y;
B (int a,int b)

YASEEN’S Page 54
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

{
super(a); // (or) x=a;
y=b;
}
void show( )
{ super.show ();
System.out.println ("y = "+y);
System.out.println (“ super x = “ + super.x);
}
}
class SuperUse
{
public static void main(String args[])
{ B ob = new B (10, 24);
ob.show ( );
}
}
Output:

 Super key word is used in sub class only.

 The statement calling super class constructor should be the first one in sub class
constructor.

10. Polymorphism
Polymorphism came from the two Greek words ‘poly’ means many and morphos means forms.
If the same method has ability to take more than one form to perform several tasks then it is
called polymorphism. It is of two types: Dynamic polymorphism and Static polymorphism.
 Dynamic Polymorphism: The polymorphism exhibited at run time is called dynamic
polymorphism. In this dynamic polymorphism a method call is linked with method body
at
the time of execution by JVM. Java compiler does not know which method is called at
the
time of compilation. This is also known as dynamic binding or run time polymorphism.
Method overloading and method overriding are examples of Dynamic Polymorphism in
Java.

YASEEN’S Page 55
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 Method Overloading: Writing two or more methods with the same name, but with a
difference in the method signatures is called method over loading. Method signature
represents the method name along with the method parameters. In method over loading
JVM understands which method is called depending upon the difference in the method
signature. The difference may be due to the following:
 There is a difference in the no. of parameters.
void add (int a,int b)
void add (int a,int b,int c)
 There is a difference in the data types of parameters.
void add (int a,float b)
void add (double a,double b)
 There is a difference in the sequence of parameters.
void swap (int a,char b)
void swap (char a,int b)
Program 1: Write a program to create a class which contains two methods with the same
name but with different signatures.
// overloading of methods --------- Dynamic polymorphism
class Sample
{ void add(int a,int b)
{
System.out.println ("sum of two="+ (a+b));
}
void add(int a,int b,int c)
{
System.out.println ("sum of three="+ (a+b+c));
}
}
class OverLoad
{ public static void main(String[] args)
{ Sample s=new Sample ( );
s.add (20, 25);
s.add (20, 25, 30);
}
}
Output:

YASEEN’S Page 56
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 Method Overriding: Writing two or more methods in super & sub classes with same
name
and same signatures is called method overriding. In method overriding JVM executes a
method depending on the type of the object.
Program 2: Write a program that contains a super and sub class which contains a method
with same name and same method signature, behavior of the method is dynamically decided.
//overriding of methods --------------- Dynamic polymorphism
class Animal
{ void move()
{
System.out.println ("Animals can move");
}
}
class Dog extends Animal
{ void move()
{
System.out.println ("Dogs can walk and run");
}
}
public class OverRide
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ Animal a = new Animal (); // Animal reference and object
Animal b = new Dog (); // Animal reference but Dog object
a.move (); // runs the method in Animal class
b.move (); //Runs the method in Dog class
}
}
Output:

Achieving method overloading & method overriding using instance methods is an example of
dynamic polymorphism.
 Static Polymorphism: The polymorphism exhibited at compile time is called Static
polymorphism. Here the compiler knows which method is called at the compilation. This
is
also called compile time polymorphism or static binding. Achieving method overloading
&
method overriding using private, static and final methods is an example of Static

YASEEN’S Page 57
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Polymorphism.
Program 3: Write a program to illustrate static polymorphism.
//Static Polymorphism
class Animal
{ static void move ()
{ System.out.println ("Animals can move");
}
}
class Dog extends Animal
{ static void move ()
{ System.out.println ("Dogs can walk and run");
}
}
public class StaticPoly
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ Animal.move ();
Dog.move ();
}
}
Output:

 The keyword ‘final’:

 final keyword before a class prevents inheritance.
e.g.: final class A
class B extends A //invalid
 final keyword before a method prevents overriding.
 final keyword before a variable makes that variable as a constant.
e.g.: final double PI = 3.14159; //PI is a constant.
 Type Casting: Converting one data type into another data type is called casting. Type
cast operator is used to convert one data type into another data type. Data type represents
the type of the data stored into a variable. There are two kinds of data types:
 Primitive Data type: Primitive data type represents singular values.
e.g.: byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, boolean.
Using casting we can convert a primitive data type into another primitive data type. This
is done in two ways, widening and narrowing.
 Widening: Converting a lower data type into higher data type is called widening.
byte, short, int, long , float, double

YASEEN’S Page 58
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

e.g.: char ch = 'a';

int n = (int ) ch;
e.g.: int n = 12;
float f = (float) n;
 Narrowing: Converting a higher data type into lower data type is called narrowing.
e.g.: int i = 65;
char ch = (char) i;
e.g.: float f = 12.5;
int i = (int) f;
 Referenced Data type: Referenced data type represents multiple values.
e.g.: class, String
Using casting we can convert one class type into another class type if they are related by
means of inheritance.
 Generalization: Moving back from subclass to super class is called generalization or
widening or upcasting.
 Specialization: Moving from super class to sub class is called specialization or
narrowing or downcasting.
Program 4: Write a program to convert one class type into another class type.
// conversion of one class type into another class type
class One
{ void show1()
{ System.out.println ("One's method");
}
}
class Two extends One
{ void show2()
{ System.out.println ("Two's method");
}
}
class Ex3
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
/* If super class reference is used to refer to super class object then only super class
members are available to programmer. */
One ob1 = new One ();
ob1.show1 ();
/* If sub class reference is used to refer to sub class object then super class members as
well as sub class members are available to the programmer. */
Two ob2 = new Two();
ob2.show1();
ob2.show2();

YASEEN’S Page 59
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

/* If super class reference is used to refer to sub class object then super class methods are
available, sub class methods are not available unless they override super class methods */
One ob3 = (One) new Two(); // Generalization
ob3.show1();
/* It is not possible to access any methods if we use subclass object to refer to super class
as above */
Two ob4 = (Two) new One();
ob4.show1();
ob4.show2();
// Specialization
One ob5 = (One) new Two();
Two ob6 = (Two) ob5;
ob6.show1();
ob6.show2();
}
}
Note: Using casting it is not possible to convert a primitive data type into a referenced data type
and vice-versa. For this we are using Wrapper classes.

11. Abstract Class

A method with method body is called concrete method. In general any class will have all
concrete methods. A method without method body is called abstract method. A class that
contains abstract method is called abstract class. It is possible to implement the abstract methods
differently in the subclasses of an abstract class. These different implementations will help the
programmer to perform different tasks depending on the need of the sub classes. Moreover, the
common members of the abstract class are also shared by the sub classes.
The abstract methods and abstract class should be declared using the keyword abstract.
We cannot create objects to abstract class because it is having incomplete code. Whenever an
abstract class is created, subclass should be created to it and the abstract methods should be
implemented in the subclasses, then we can create objects to the subclasses.
· An abstract class is a class with zero or more abstract methods
· An abstract class contains instance variables & concrete methods in addition to abstract
methods.
· It is not possible to create objects to abstract class.

YASEEN’S Page 60
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

· But we can create a reference of abstract class type.

· All the abstract methods of the abstract class should be implemented in its sub classes.
· If any method is not implemented, then that sub class should be declared as ‘abstract’.
· Abstract class reference can be used to refer to the objects of its sub classes.
· Abstract class references cannot refer to the individual methods of sub classes.
· A class cannot be both ‘abstract’ & ‘final’.
e.g.: final abstract class A // invalid
Program 1: Write an example program for abstract class.
// Using abstract methods and classes.
abstract class Figure
{ double dim1;
double dim2;
Figure (double a, double b)
{ dim1 = a;
dim2 = b;
}
abstract double area (); // area is now an abstract method
}
class Rectangle extends Figure
{ Rectangle (double a, double b)
{ super (a, b);
}
double area () // override area for rectangle
{ System.out.println ("Inside Area of Rectangle.");
return dim1 * dim2;
}
}

YASEEN’S Page 61
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

class Triangle extends Figure

{ Triangle (double a, double b)
{ super (a, b);
}
double area() // override area for right triangle
{ System.out.println ("Inside Area of Triangle.");
return dim1 * dim2 / 2;
}
}
class AbstractAreas
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ // Figure f = new Figure(10, 10); // illegal now
Rectangle r = new Rectangle(9, 5);
Triangle t = new Triangle(10, 8);
System.out.println("Area is " + r.area());
System.out.println("Area is " + t.area());
}
}
Output:

YASEEN’S Page 62
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

12. Interface
A programmer uses an abstract class when there are some common features shared by all the
objects. A programmer writes an interface when all the features have different implementations
for different objects. Interfaces are written when the programmer wants to leave the
implementation to third party vendors. An interface is a specification of method prototypes. All
the methods in an interface are abstract methods.
· An interface is a specification of method prototypes.
· An interface contains zero or more abstract methods.
· All the methods of interface are public, abstract by default.
· An interface may contain variables which are by default public static final.
· Once an interface is written any third party vendor can implement it.
· All the methods of the interface should be implemented in its implementation classes.
· If any one of the method is not implemented, then that implementation class should be
declared as abstract.
· We cannot create an object to an interface.
· We can create a reference variable to an interface.
· An interface cannot implement another interface.
· An interface can extend another interface.
· A class can implement multiple interfaces.
Program 1: Write an example program for interface
interface Shape
{ void area ();
void volume ();
double pi = 3.14;
}
class Circle implements Shape
{ double r;
Circle (double radius)
{ r = radius;
}
public void area ()
{ System.out.println ("Area of a circle is : " + pi*r*r );
}
public void volume ()
{ System.out.println ("Volume of a circle is : " + 2*pi*r);
}
}
class Rectangle implements Shape
{ double l,b;
Rectangle (double length, double breadth)
{ l = length;

YASEEN’S Page 63
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

b = breadth;
}
public void area ()
{ System.out.println ("Area of a Rectangle is : " + l*b );
}
public void volume ()
{ System.out.println ("Volume of a Rectangle is : " + 2*(l+b));
}
}
class InterfaceDemo
{ public static void main (String args[])
{ Circle ob1 = new Circle (10.2);
ob1.area ();
ob1.volume ();
Rectangle ob2 = new Rectangle (12.6, 23.55);
ob2.area ();
ob2.volume ();
}
}
Output:

Types of inheritance:
 Single Inheritance: Producing subclass from a single super class is called single
inheritance.

YASEEN’S Page 64
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 Multiple Inheritance: Producing subclass from more than one super class is called
Multiple
Inheritance.

Java does not support multiple inheritance. But multiple inheritance can be achieved by using
interfaces.
Program 2: Write a program to illustrate how to achieve multiple inheritance using multiple
interfaces.
//interface Demo
interface Father
{ double PROPERTY = 10000;
double HEIGHT = 5.6;
}
interface Mother
{ double PROPERTY = 30000;
double HEIGHT = 5.4;
}
class MyClass implements Father, Mother
{ void show()
{ System.out.println("Total property is :" +(Father.PROPERTY+Mother.PROPERTY));
System.out.println ("Average height is :" + (Father.HEIGHT + Mother.HEIGHT)/2 );
}

Output:

13. Packages
A package is a container of classes and interfaces. A package represents a directory that contains
related group of classes and interfaces. For example, when we write statemens like:
import java.io.*;
Here we are importing classes of java.io package. Here, java is a directory name and io is another
sub directory within it. The ‘*’ represents all the classes and interfaces of that io sub directory.
We can create our own packages called user-defined packages or extend the available packages.
User-defined packages can also be imported into other classes and used exactly in the same way
as the Built-in packages. Packages provide reusability.
General form for creating a package:
package packagename;
e.g.: package pack;
· The first statement in the program must be package statement while creating a package.
· While creating a package except instance variables, declare all the members and the class
itself as public then only the public members are available outside the package to other
programs.
Program 1: Write a program to create a package pack with Addition class.
//creating a package
package pack;
public class Addition
{ private double d1,d2;
public Addition(double a,double b)
{ d1 = a;
d2 = b;
}
public void sum()

YASEEN’S Page 66
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

{ System.out.println ("Sum of two given numbers is : " + (d1+d2) );

}
}

Compiling the above program:

The –d option tells the Java compiler to create a separate directory and place the .class file in that
directory (package). The (.) dot after –d indicates that the package should be created in the
current directory. So, out package pack with Addition class is ready.
Program 2: Write a program to use the Addition class of package pack.
//Using the package pack
import pack.Addition;
class Use
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ Addition ob1 = new Addition(10,20);
ob1.sum();
}
}
Output:

Program 3: Write a program to add one more class Subtraction to the same package pack.
//Adding one more class to package pack:
package pack;
public class Subtraction
{ private double d1,d2;
public Subtraction(double a, double b)
{ d1 = a;
d2 = b;
}

YASEEN’S Page 67
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

public void difference()

{ System.out.println ("Sum of two given numbers is : " + (d1 - d2) );
}
}
Compiling the above program:

Program 4: Write a program to access all the classes in the package pack.
//To import all the classes and interfaces in a class using import pack.*;
import pack.*;
class Use
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ Addition ob1 = new Addition(10.5,20.6);
ob1.sum();
Subtraction ob2 = new Subtraction(30.2,40.11);
ob2.difference();
}
}
In this case, please be sure that any of the Addition.java and Subtraction.java programs will not
exist in the current directory. Delete them from the current directory as they cause confusion for
the Java compiler. The compiler looks for byte code in Addition.java and Subtraction.java files
and there it gets no byte code and hence it flags some errors.
Output:

If the package pack is available in different directory, in that case the compiler should be given
information regarding the package location by mentioning the directory name of the package in
the classpath. The CLASSPATH is an environment variable that tells the Java compiler where to
look for class files to import. If our package exists in e:\sub then we need to set class path as
follows:

YASEEN’S Page 68
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

We are setting the classpath to e:\sub directory and current directory (.) and
%CLASSPATH% means retain the already available classpath as it is.
Creating Sub package in a package: We can create sub package in a package in the format:
package packagename.subpackagename;
e.g.: package pack1.pack2;
Here, we are creating pack2 subpackage which is created inside pack1 package. To use the
classes and interfaces of pack2, we can write import statement as:
import pack1.pack2;
Program 5: Program to show how to create a subpackage in a package.
//Creating a subpackage in a package
package pack1.pack2;
public class Sample
{ public void show ()
{
System.out.println ("Hello Java Learners");
}
}
Compiling the above program:

Access Specifier: Specifies the scope of the data members, class and methods.
 private members of the class are available with in the class only. The scope of private
members of the class is “CLASS SCOPE”.
 public members of the class are available anywhere . The scope of public members of the
class is "GLOBAL SCOPE".
 default members of the class are available with in the class, outside the class and in its
sub
class of same package. It is not available outside the package. So the scope of default
members of the class is "PACKAGE SCOPE".
 protected members of the class are available with in the class, outside the class and in its
sub
class of same package and also available to subclasses in different package also.

Program 6: Write a program to create class A with different access specifiers.

public class A
{ private int a=1;

14. Exceptions
An error in a program is called bug. Removing errors from program is called debugging. There
are basically three types of errors in the Java program:
 Compile time errors: Errors which occur due to syntax or format is called compile time
errors. These errors are detected by java compiler at compilation time. Desk checking is
solution for compile-time errors.
 Runtime errors: These are the errors that represent computer inefficiency. Insufficient
memory to store data or inability of the microprocessor to execute some statement is
examples to runtime errors. Runtime errors are detected by JVM at runtime.
 Logical errors: These are the errors that occur due to bad logic in the program. These
errors
are rectified by comparing the outputs of the program manually.
Exception: An abnormal event in a program is called Exception.
 Exception may occur at compile time or at runtime.
 Exceptions which occur at compile time are called Checked exceptions.
e.g.: ClassNotFoundException, NoSuchMethodException, NoSuchFieldException etc.
 Exceptions which occur at run time are called Unchecked exceptions.
eg: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, ArithmeticException, NumberFormatException
etc.
Exception Handling: Exceptions are represented as classes in java.

YASEEN’S Page 71
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

An exception can be handled by the programmer where as an error cannot be handled by the
programmer. When there is an exception the programmer should do the following tasks:
 If the programmer suspects any exception in program statements, he should write them
inside
try block.
try
{
statements;
}

 When there is an exception in try block JVM will not terminate the program abnormally.
JVM stores exception details in an exception stack and then JVM jumps into catch block.
The programmer should display exception details and any message to the user in catch
block.
catch ( ExceptionClass obj)
{ statements;
}
 Programmer should close all the files and databases by writing them inside finally block.
Finally block is executed whether there is an exception or not.
finally
{ statements;
}
 Performing above tasks is called Exception Handling.
Program 1: Write a program which tells the use of try, catch and finally block.
// Exception example
class ExceptionExample

YASEEN’S Page 72
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

{ public static void main(String args[])

{ try
{ System.out.println ("open files");
int n=args.length;
System.out.println ("n="+n);
int a=45/n;
System.out.println ("a="+a);
int b[]={10,19,12,13};
b[50]=100;
}
catch (ArithmeticException ae)
{ System.out.println ("ae");
System.out.println ("plz type data while executing the program");
}
catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException aie)
{ System.out.println ("aie");
System.out.println ("please see that array index is not within the range");
}
finally
{ System.out.println ("close files");
}
}
}

Output:

 Even though multiple exceptions are found in the program, only one exception is raised
at a
time.
 We can handle multiple exceptions by writing multiple catch blocks.

YASEEN’S Page 73
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 A single try block can be followed by several catch blocks.

 Catch block does not always exit without a try, but a try block exit without a catch block.
 Finally block is always executed whether there is an exception or not.
throws Clause: throws clause is useful to escape from handling an exception. throws clause is
useful to throw out any exception without handling it.
Program 2: Write a program which shows the use of throws clause.
// not handling the exception
import java.io.*;
class Sample
{ void accept( )throws IOException
{ BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.print ("enter ur name: ");
String name=br.readLine ( );
System.out.println ("Hai "+name);
}
}
class ExceptionNotHandle
{ public static void main (String args[])throws IOException
{ Sample s=new Sample ( );
s.accept ( );
}
}
Output:

throw Clause: throw clause can be used to throw out user defined exceptions. It is useful to
create an exception object and throw it out of try block
Program 3: Write a program which shows the use of throw clause.
//Throw Example
class ThrowDemo
{ static void Demo( )
{ try
{ System.out.println ("inside method");
throw new NullPointerException("my data");
}
catch (NullPointerException ne)

YASEEN’S Page 74
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

{
System.out.println ("ne");
}
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
ThrowDemo.Demo ( );
}
}
Output:

Types of Exceptions:
 Built-in exceptions: These are the exceptions which are already available in java.
e.g.: ArithmeticException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, NullPointerException,
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException, NoSuchMethodException, InterruptedException,
ClassNotFoundException, FileNotFoundException, NumberFormatException,
RuntimeException etc.
 User-defined exceptions: - These are the exceptions created by the programmer.
Creating user defined exceptions:
 Write user exception class extending Exception class.
e.g.: class MyException extends Exception
 Write a default constructor in the user exception class
e.g.: MyException ( ) { }
 Write a parameterized constructor with String as a parameter, from there call the
parameterized constructor of Exception class.
e.g.: MyException (String str)
{
super (str);
}
 Whenever required create user exception object and throw it using throw statement.
Ex: - throw me;

Program 4: Write a program to throw a user defined exception.

// user defined exception
class MyException extends Exception
{
int accno[] = {1001,1002,1003,1004,1005};

YASEEN’S Page 75
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

String name[] = {"Hari","Siva","Bhanu","Rama","Chandu"};

double bal[] = {2500,3500,1500,1000,6000};
MyException()
{
}
MyException(String str)
{
super(str);
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
try
{
MyException me = new MyException("");
System.out.println("AccNo \t Name \t Balance ");
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
System.out.println(me.accno[i]+ "\t" + me.name[i] + "\t" +
me.bal[i] );
if( me.bal[i] < 2000 )
{
MyException me1 = new MyException
("Insufficient Balance");
throw me1;
}
}
}
catch(MyException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

15. Wrapper Classes

Wrapper Classes are used to convert primitive data types into objects. A wrapper class is a class
whose object wraps the primitive data type. Wrapper classes are available in java.lang package.
Different applications on internet send data or recieve data in the form of objects. The classes in
java.util package act upon objects only.

Character Class: The Character class wraps a value of the primitive type char in an object. An
object of type character contains a single field whose type is char. We can create Character class
object as: Character obj = new Character (ch); // where ch is a character.

char ch = (char) br.read();
if (Character.isDigit (ch) )
System.out.println ("It is a digit");
else if (Character.isUpperCase (ch))
System.out.println ("It is a Upper Case Letter");
else if (Character.isLowerCase (ch) )
System.out.println ("It is a Lower Case Letter");
else if ( Character.isSpaceChar (ch))
System.out.println ("It is a Space bar");

16. Generic Types

 Generic type represents classes, interfaces and methods in a type safe manner.
 Generic types can act on any type of data.
 All Generic types are subclasses of Object class, it acts on Objects only.
 Generic types act on advanced data type only.
 It is not possible to create an object to Generic type itself.
 Using generic types, we can avoid casting in many cases.
Generic Class: When we create a class with an instance variable to store an Integer object, it can
be used to store Integer type data only. We cannot use that instance variable to store a Float class
object or a String type Object. To store different types of data into a class, we have to write the
same class again and again by changing the data type of the variables. This can be avoided using
a generic class. A generic class represents a class that is type-safe. This means a generic class
can act upon any data type. Generic classes and generic interfaces are also called ‘parameterized
types’ because they use a parameter that determines which data type they should work upon.
Program 1: Write a program that has a class which stores any type of data.
//Example for Generic Class
class MyClass<T>
{ T obj;
MyClass (T obj)
{
this.obj = obj;
}
T getObj ()
{
return obj;
}
}
class Gen1
{ public static void main(String args[])
{
Integer i1 = new Integer (10);
MyClass<Integer> obj1 = new MyClass<Integer>(i1);
System.out.println ("U stored : " + obj1.getObj() );
Double d1 = new Double(30.66);
MyClass<Double> obj2 = new MyClass<Double>(d1);
System.out.println ("U Stored : " + obj2.getObj() );

YASEEN’S Page 85
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

MyClass<String> obj3 = new MyClass<String>("Suresh Kumar");

System.out.println ("U Stored : " + obj3.getObj() );
}
}
Output:

Generic Method: We can make a method alone as generic method by writing the generic
parameter before the method return type as:
<T> returntype methodname ()
{
Method code;
}
e.g.: <T> void display_data ()
{
Method body;
}
Program 2: Write a program with generic method which displays any type of data.
//Generic method example
class MyClass
{ <T>void display_data (T arr[])
{
for (int i=0;i<arr.length; i++)
System.out.print ("\t" + arr[i]);
System.out.println ();
}
}
class Gen2
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ MyClass obj = new MyClass ( );
Integer a[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6};
System.out.print ("Reading Integer Objects: ");
obj.display_data (a);
Float b[] = {1.1f,2.2f,3.4f};
System.out.print ("Reading Float Objects: ");
obj.display_data (b);
String c[] = {"Subash","Chandra","Bose"};

YASEEN’S Page 86
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

System.out.print ("Reading String Objects: ");

obj.display_data (c);
}
}
Output:

Generic Interface: It is possible to develop an interface using generic type concept. The general
form of generic interface looks like:
interface interface_name <T>
{
//method that accepts any object
return_type method_name ( T object_name );
}
Here, T represents any data type which is used in the interface. We can write an implementation
class for the above interface as:
class class_name <T> implements interface_name <T>
{
public return_type method_name ( T object_name )
{
//provide body of the method
}
}
Program 3: Write an example program for generic interface.
//A generic interface
interface inter<T>
{
void displayData (T obj);
}
class AnyClass<T> implements inter<T>
{ public void displayData (T t1)
{
System.out.println ("Entered value is : " + t1);
}
}
class Gen3
{ public static void main (String args[])

YASEEN’S Page 87
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

{ AnyClass<Integer> ob1 = new AnyClass<Integer>();

ob1.displayData (new Integer (10) );
AnyClass<String> ob2 = new AnyClass<String>();
ob2.displayData (new String ("Hari") );
}
}
Output:

17. The Collection Framework

In order to handle group of objects we can use array of objects. If we have a class called Employ
with members name and id, if we want to store details of 10 Employees, create an array of object
to hold 10 Employ details.
Employ ob [] = new Employ [10];
 We cannot store different class objects into same array.
 Inserting element at the end of array is easy but at the middle is difficult.
 After retriving the elements from the array, in order to process the elements we dont have
any methods
Collection Object:
 A collection object is an object which can store group of other objects.
 A collection object has a class called Collection class or Container class.
 All the collection classes are available in the package called 'java.util’ (util stands for
utility).
 Group of collection classes is called a Collection Framework.
 A collection object does not store the physical copies of other objects; it stores references
of
other objects.
 All the collection classes in java.util package are the implementation classes of different
interfaces.

YASEEN’S Page 88
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 Set: A Set represents a group of elements (objects) arranged just like an array. The set
will
grow dynamically when the elements are stored into it. A set will not allow duplicate
elements.
 List: Lists are like sets but allow duplicate values to be stored.
 Queue: A Queue represents arrangement of elements in FIFO (First In First Out) order.
This
means that an element that is stored as a first element into the queue will be removed
first
from the queue.
 Map: Maps store elements in the form of key value pairs. If the key is provided its
corresponding value can be obtained.
Retrieving Elements from Collections: Following are the ways to retrieve any element from a
collection object:
 Using Iterator interface.
 Using ListIterator interface.
 Using Enumeration interface.
Iterator Interface: Iterator is an interface that contains methods to retrieve the elements one by
one from a collection object. It retrieves elementsonly in forward direction. It has 3 methods:

ListIterator Interface: ListIterator is an interface that contains methods to retrieve the elements
from a collection object, both in forward and reverse directions. It can retrieve the elements in
forward and backward direction. It has the following important methods:

YASEEN’S Page 89
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Enumeration Interface: This interface is useful to retrieve elements one by one like Iterator. It
has 2 methods.

HashSet Class: HashSet represents a set of elements (objects). It does not guarantee the order of
elements. Also it does not allow the duplicate elements to be stored.
 We can write the HashSet class as: class HashSet<T>
 We can create the object as: HashSet<String> hs = new HashSet<String> ();
The following constructors are available in HashSet:
 HashSet();
 HashSet (int capacity); Here capacity represents how many elements can be stored into
the
HashSet initially. This capacity may increase automatically when more number of
elements
is being stored.

HashSet Class Methods:

Program 1: Write a program which shows the use of HashSet and Iterator.

YASEEN’S Page 90
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

//HashSet Demo
import java.util.*;
class HS
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ //create a HashSet to store Strings
HashSet <String> hs = new HashSet<String> ();
//Store some String elements
hs.add ("India");
hs.add ("America");
hs.add ("Japan");
hs.add ("China");
hs.add ("America");
//view the HashSet
System.out.println ("HashSet = " + hs);
//add an Iterator to hs
Iterator it = hs.iterator ();
//display element by element using Iterator
System.out.println ("Elements Using Iterator: ");
while (it.hasNext() )
{ String s = (String) it.next ();
System.out.println(s);
}
}
}

Output:

LinkedHashSet Class: This is a subclass of HashSet class and does not contain any additional
members on its own. LinkedHashSet internally uses a linked list to store the elements. It is a
generic class that has the declaration:
class LinkedHashSet<T>
YASEEN’S Page 91
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Stack Class: A stack represents a group of elements stored in LIFO (Last In First Out) order.
This means that the element which is stored as a last element into the stack will be the first
element to be removed from the stack. Inserting the elements (Objects) into the stack is called
push operation and removing the elements from stack is called pop operation. Searching for an
element in stack is called peep operation. Insertion and deletion of elements take place only from
one side of the stack, called top of the stack. We can write a Stack class as:
class Stack<E>
e.g.: Stack<Integer> obj = new Stack<Integer> ();
Stack Class Methods:

Program 2: Write a program to perform different operations on a stack.

//pushing, popping, searching elements in a stack
import java.util.*;
class StackDemo
{
public static void main(String args[])
{ //create an empty stack to contain Integer objects
Stack<Integer> st = new Stack<Integer>();
st.push (new Integer(10) );
st.push (new Integer(20) );
st.push (new Integer(30) );
st.push (new Integer(40) );
st.push (new Integer(50) );
System.out.println (st);
System.out.println ("Element at top of the stack is : " + st.peek() );
System.out.println ("Removing element at the TOP of the stack : " + st.pop());
System.out.println ("The new stack is : " + st);
}
}
Output:

LinkedList Class: A linked list contains a group of elements in the form of nodes. Each node
will have three fields- the data field contatins data and the link fields contain references to
previous and next nodes.A linked list is written in the form of:
class LinkedList<E>
we can create an empty linked list for storing String type elements (objects) as:
LinkedList <String> ll = new LinkedList<String> ();

LinkedList Class methods:

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Note: In case of LinkedList counting starts from 0 and we start counting from 1.
Program 3: Write a program that shows the use of LinkedList class.
import java.util.*;
//Linked List
class LinkedDemo
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ LinkedList <String> ll = new LinkedList<String>();
ll.add ("Asia");
ll.add ("North America");
ll.add ("South America");

ll.add ("Africa");
ll.addFirst ("Europe");
ll.add (1,"Australia");
ll.add (2,"Antarctica");
System.out.println ("Elements in Linked List is : " + ll);
System.out.println ("Size of the Linked List is : " + ll.size() );
}
}
Output:

ArrayList Class: An ArrayList is like an array, which can grow in memory dynamically.
ArrayList is not synchronized. This means that when more than one thread acts simultaneously
on the ArrayList object, the results may be incorrect in some cases.
ArrayList class can be written as: class ArrayList <E>
We can create an object to ArrayList as: ArrayList <String> arl = new ArrayList<String> ();

YASEEN’S Page 95
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

ArrayList Class Methods:

Program 4: Write a program that shows the use of ArrayList class.

import java.util.*;
//ArrayList Demo
class ArrayListDemo
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ ArrayList <String> al = new ArrayList<String>();
al.add ("Asia");
al.add ("North America");
al.add ("South America");
al.add ("Africa");
al.add ("Europe");
al.add (1,"Australia");

System.out.print ("\nRetrieving elements in ArrayList using Iterator :");
Iterator it = al.iterator ();
while (it.hasNext () )
System.out.print (it.next () + "\t");
}
}
Output:

Vector Class: Similar to ArrayList, but Vector is synchronized. It means even if several threads
act on Vector object simultaneously, the results will be reliable.
Vector class can be written as: class Vector <E>
We can create an object to Vector as: Vector <String> v = new Vector<String> ();

{ public static void main(String args[])
{ Vector <Integer> v = new Vector<Integer> ();
int x[] = {10,20,30,40,50};
//When x[i] is stored into v below, x[i] values are converted into Integer Objects
//and stored into v. This is auto boxing.

System.out.print (v.get (i) + "\t");
System.out.println ("\nRetrieving elements in Vector using ListIterator :");
ListIterator lit = v.listIterator ();

System.out.println ("\nRetrieving elements in reverse order using ListIterator :");
while (lit.hasPrevious () )
System.out.print (lit.previous () + "\t");
}
}
Output:

HashMap Class: HashMap is a collection that stores elements in the form of key-value pairs. If
key is provided later its corresponding value can be easily retrieved from the HAshMap. Keys
should be unique. HashMap is not synchronized and hence while using multiple threads on
HashMap object, we get unreliable results.
We can write HashMap class as: class HashMap<K, V>
For example to store a String as key and an integer object as its value, we can create the
HashMap as: HashMap<String, Integer> hm = new HashMap<String, Integer> ();
The default initial capacity of this HashMap will be taken as 16 and the load factor as 0.75. Load
factor represents at what level the HashMap capacity should be doubled. For example, the
product of capacity and load factor = 16 * 0.75 = 12. This represents that after storing 12th
keyvalue
pair into the HashMap, its capacity will become 32.

We can write Hashtable class as: class Hashtable<K,V>
For example to store a String as key and an integer object as its value, we can create the
Hashtable as: Hashtable<String, Integer> ht = new Hashtable<String, Integer> ();
The default initial capacity of this Hashtable will be taken as 11 and the load factor as 0.75. Load
factor represents at what level the Hashtable capacity should be doubled. For example, the
product of capacity and load factor = 11 * 0.75 = 8.25. This represents that after storing 8th
keyvalue

18. Streams and Files

A Stream represents flow of data from one place to another place. Input Streams reads or accepts
data. Output Streams sends or writes data to some other place. All streams are represented as
classes in java.io package. The main advantage of using stream concept is to achieve hardware
independence. This is because we need not change the stream in our program even though we
change the hardware. Streams are of two types in Java:
 Byte Streams: Handle data in the form of bits and bytes. Byte streams are used to handle
any
characters (text), images, audio and video files. For example, to store an image file (.gif
or

YASEEN’S Page 106

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

.jpg), we should go for a byte stream. To handle data in the form of 'bytes' the abstract
classes: InputStream and OutputStream are used. The important classes of byte streams
are:

 FileInputStream/FileOutputStream: They handle data to be read or written to disk files.

 FilterInputStream/FilterOutputStream: They read data from one stream and write it to
another stream.
 ObjectInputStream/ObjectOutputStream: They handle storage of objects and primitive
data.
 Character or Text Streams: Handle data in the form of characters. Character or text
streams can always store and retrieve data in the form of characters (or text) only. It
means
text streams are more suitable for handling text files like the ones we create in Notepad.
They
are not suitable to handle the images, audio or video files. To handle data in the form of
'text'
the abstract classes: Reader and Writer are used. The important classes of character
streams
are:

YASEEN’S Page 107

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Text Stream Classes for Writing Data

 BufferedReader/BufferedWriter: - Handles characters (text) by buffering them. They
provide efficiency.
 CharArrayReader/CharArrayWriter: - Handles array of characters.
 InputStreamReader/OutputStreamWriter: - They are bridge between byte streams and
character streams. Reader reads bytes and then decodes them into 16-bit unicode
characters. Writer decodes characters into bytes and then writes.
 PrintReader/PrintWriter: - Handle printing of characters on the screen.
File: A file represents organized collection of data. Data is stored permanently in the file. Once
data is stored in the form of a file we can use it in different programs.
Program 1: Write a program to read data from the keyboard and write it to a text file using byte
stream classes.

Note: Use BufferedReader and BufferedWriter to improve the efficiency of the above two

Serialization of objects:
 Serialization is the process of storing object contents into a file. The class whose objects
are
stored in the file should implement "Serializable' interface of java.io package.
 Serializable interface is an empty interface without any members and methods, such an
interface is called 'marking interface' or 'tagging interface'.
 Marking interface is useful to mark the objects of a class for a special purpose. For
example,
'Serializable' interface marks the class objects as 'serializable' so that they can be written
into
a file. If serializable interface is not implemented by the class, then writing that class
objects
into a file will lead to NotSerializableException.
 static and transient variables cannot be serialized.
 De-serialization is the process of reading back the objects from a file.

20. Threads
Executing the tasks is of two types:
 Single Tasking: Executing only one task at a time is called single tasking. In this single
tasking the microprocessor will be sitting idle for most of the time. This means micro
processor time is wasted.
 Multi tasking: Executing more than one task at a time is called multi tasking.
Multitasking is
of two types:
 Process Based Multitasking: Executing several programs simultaneously is called process
based multi tasking.
 Thread Based Multitasking: Executing different parts of the same program
simultaneously
with the help of a thread is called thread based multitasking.
Advantage of multitasking is utilizing the processor time in an optimum way.
Java provides built-in support for multithreaded programming. A multithreaded program
contains two or more parts that can run concurrently. Each part of such a program is called a
thread. Thread is a smallest unit of code. Thread is also defined as a subprocess. A Thread
sometimes called an execution context or a light weight process.
Uses of Threads:
 Threads are used in designing serverside programs to handle multiple clients at a time.
 Threads are used in games and animations.

Program 1: Write a program to know the currently running Thread

//Currently running thread
class Current
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println ("This is first statement");
Thread t = Thread.currentThread ();
System.out.println ("Current Thread: " + t);
System.out.println ("Its name: " + t.getName ());
System.out.println ("Its priority:" + t.getPriority ());
}
}

Creating a Thread:
 Write a class that extends Thread class or implements Runnable interface this is available
in
lang package.
 Write public void run () method in that class. This is the method by default executed by
any
thread.
 Create an object to that class.
 Create a thread and attach it to the object.
 Start running the threads.
Program 2: Write a program to create and run a Thread.
//creating and running a Thread

{
for (int i = 0;i<100;i++)
{

}
}

{ public static void main(String args[])
{ MyThread obj = new MyThread ();
Thread t = new Thread (obj);
t.start ();
}
}
Output:

Multi Tasking Using Threads: In multi tasking, several tasks are executed at a time. For this
purpose, we need more than one thread. For example, to perform 2 tasks we can take 2 threads
and attach them to the 2 tasks. Then those tasks are simultaneously executed by the two threads.
Using more than one thread is called ‘multi threading’.
Program 3: Write a program to create more than one thread.
//using more than one thread is called Multi Threading
class Theatre extends Thread
{ String str;
Theatre (String str)
{ this.str = str;
}
public void run()
{ for (int i = 1; i <= 10 ; i++)
{ System.out.println (str + " : " + i);
try
{ Thread.sleep (2000);
}
catch (InterruptedException ie) { ie.printStackTrace (); }
}
}
}
class TDemo1
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ Theatre obj1 = new Theatre ("Cut Ticket");
Theatre obj2 = new Theatre ("Show Chair");
Thread t1 = new Thread (obj1);
Thread t2 = new Thread (obj2);
t1.start ();
t2.start ();
}
}

YASEEN’S Page 119

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Output:

In the preceding example, we have used 2 threads on the 2 objects of TDemo1 class. First
we have taken a String variable str in Theatre class. Then we passed two strings- cut ticket and
show chair into that variable from TDemo1 class. When t1. start () is executed, it starts execution
run () method code showing cut ticket. Note that in run () method, we used: Thread. sleep (2000)
is a static method in Thread class, which is used to suspend execution of a thread for some
specified milliseconds. Since this method can throw InterruptedException, we caught it in catch
block. When Thread t1 is suspended immediately t2. start () will make the thread t2 to execute
and when it encounters Thread.sleep(2000), it will suspend for specified time meanwhile t1 will
get executed respectively. In this manner, both the threads are simultaneously executed.

Multiple Threads Acting on Single Object: When two people (threads) want to perform same
task then they need same object (run () method) to be executed each time. Take the case of
railway reservation. Every day several people want reservation of a berth for them. The
procedure to reserve the berth is same for all the people. So we need some object with same run
() method to be executed repeatedly for all the people (threads).
Let us think that only one berth is available in a train and two passengers (threads) are
asking for that berth in two different counters. The clerks at different counters sent a request to
the server to allot that berth to their passengers. Let us see now to whom that berth is allotted.

Program 4: Write a program to create multiple threads and make the threads to act on single
object.

{ System.out.println ("Number of berths available: " + available);
if ( available >= wanted)
{ String name = Thread.currentThread ().getName ();
System.out.println (wanted + " berths alloted to: " + name);
try
{ Thread.sleep (2000); // wait for priniting the ticket
available = available - wanted;
}
catch (InterruptedException ie)
{ ie.printStackTrace (); }
}
else
{ System.out.println ("Sorry, no berths available");
}
}
}
}
class Safe
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ Reserve obj = new Reserve (1);
Thread t1 =new Thread (obj);
Thread t2 = new Thread (obj);
t1.setName ("First Person");
t2.setName ("Second Person");
t1.start ();
t2.start ();
}
}

YASEEN’S Page 121

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Output:

If we would not use synchronized (this) block in the preceding program then when thread
t1 enter into the run () method, it sees available number of berths as 1 and hence it allots it to
First Person and displays “1 Berths reserved for First Person”. Then it enters try { } block inside
run () method, where it will sleep for 2 seconds. In this time, the ticket will be printed on the
printer. When the first thread is sleeping thread t2 also enters the run () method, it also sees that
there is 1 berth remaining. The reason is for this is that the available number of berths is not yet
updated by the first thread. So the second thread also sees 1 berth as available and it allots the
same berth to the Second Person. Then the thread t2 will also go into sleep state. Thread t1
wakes up first and then it updates the available number of berths to zero (0). But at the same time
the second thread has already allotted the same berth to the Second Person also. Since both the
threads are acting on the same object simultaneously, the result will be unreliable.

Thread Synchronization or Thread Safe: When a thread is acting on an object preventing

other threads from acting on the same object is called Thread Synchronization or Thread Safe.
The Object on which the Threads are synchronized is called synchronized object or Mutex
(Mutually Exclusive Lock). Thread synchronization is done in two ways:
 Using synchronized block we can synchronize a block of statements.
e.g.: synchronized (obj)
{
statements;
}
 To synchronize an entire method code we can use synchronized word before method
name
e.g.: synchronized void method ()
{
}
Thread Creation: To create a Thread, we can use the following forms:
Thread t1 = new Thread ();
Thread t2 = new Thread (obj);
Thread t3 = new Thread (obj, "thread-name");
Thread Class Methods:
 To know the currently running thread: Thread t = Thread.currentThread ();
 To start a thread: t.start ();
YASEEN’S Page 122
J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 To stop execution of a thread for a specific time: Thread.sleep (milliseconds);

 To get the name of the thread: String name = t.getName ();
 To set the new name to the thread: t.setName ("New Name");
 To get the priority of the thread: int priority = t.getPriority();
 To set the priority of the thread: t.setPriority (int priority);
Thread priorities can change from 1 to 10. We can also use the following constants to represent
priorities: Thread.MAX_PRIORITY value is 10
Thread.MIN_PRIORITY value is 1
Thread.NORM_PRIORITY value is 5
 To test if a thread is still alive: t.isAlive () returns true/false
 To wait till a thread dies: t.join ();
 To send a notification to a waiting thread: obj.notify ();
 To send notification to all waiting threads: obj.notifyAll ();
 To wait till the obj is released (till notification is sent): obj.wait ();
Deadlock: When a Thread locked an object and waiting for another object to be released by
another Thread, and the other thread is also waiting for the first thread to release the first object,
both the threads will continue waiting forever. This is called "Thread Deadlock".
Even if we synchronize the threads, there is possibility of other problems like deadlock.
Daily, thousands of people book tickets in trains and cancel tickets also. If a programmer is to
develop code for this, he may visualize that booking tickets and canceling them are reverse
procedures. Hence, he will write these 2 tasks as separate and opposite tasks and assign 2
different threads to do these tasks simultaneously.
To book a ticket, the thread will enter the train object to verify that the ticket is available
or not. When there is a ticket, it updates the available number of tickets in the train object. For
this, it takes say 150 milli seconds. Then it enters the compartment object. In compartment
object, it should allot the ticket for the passenger and update its status to reserved. This means
the thread should go through both the train and compartment objects.
Similarly, let us think if a thread has to cancel a ticket, it will first enter compartment object and
updates the status of the ticket as available. For this it is taking say 200 milliseconds. Then it
enters train object and updates the available number of tickets there. So, this thread alsoshould fo
through both the compartment and train objects.
When the BookTicket thread is at train object for 150 milliseconds, the CancelTicket
thread will be at compartment object for 200 milliseconds. Because we are using multiple (more
than one) threads, we should synchronize them. So, the threads will lock those objects. When
150 milliseconds time is over, BookTicket thread tries to come out of train object and wants to
lock on compartment object, by entering it. At that time, it will find that the compartment object
is already locked by another thread (CancelTicket) and hence it will wait. BookTicket thread will
wait for compartment object for another 50 milli seconds.
After 200 milliseconds time is up, the CancelTicket thread which is in compartment
object completes its execution and wants to eneter and lock on train object. But it will find that
the train object is already under lock by BookTicket thread and hence is not available. Now,
CancelTicket will wait for the train object which should be unlocked by BookTicket.

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

In this way, BookTicket thread keeps on waiting for the CancelTicket thread to unlock the
compartment object and the CancelTicket thread keeps on waiting for the BookTicket to unlock
the train object. Both the threads will wait forever in this way, this situation is called DealLock.

Program 5: Write a program to get a deadlock situation using threads.

//to cancel the ticket
class CancelTicket extends Thread
{ Object train, comp;
CancelTicket (Object train, Object comp)
{ this.train = train;
this.comp = comp;
}
public void run()
{
synchronized (comp)
{ System.out.println ("Cancel ticket has locked on compartment");
try
{
Thread.sleep (2000);
}
catch (InterruptedException ie) { }
System.out.println ("Cancel ticket tries to lock train object...");
synchronized (train)
{
System.out.println ("Cancel ticket has locked train...");
}
}
}
}
//to book the ticket
class BookTicket extends Thread
{ Object train, comp;
BookTicket (Object train, Object comp)
{ this.train = train;
this.comp = comp;
}
public void run()
{ synchronized (train)
{
System.out.println ("Book ticket has locked on train");
try

{
Thread.sleep (2000);
}
catch (InterruptedException ie)
{
}
System.out.println ("Book ticket tries to lock train object...");
synchronized (comp)
{
System.out.println ("Book ticket has locked compartment...");
}
}
}
}
class Dead
{ public static void main (String args[])
{ Object train = new Object ();
Object compartment = new Object ();
CancelTicket obj1 = new CancelTicket (train, compartment);
BookTicket obj2 = new BookTicket (train, compartment);
Thread t1 = new Thread (obj1);
Thread t2 = new Thread (obj2);
t1.start ();
t2.start ();
}
}
Output:

There is no specific solutioin for preventing deadlock. The programmer should exercise
proper caution while planning the logic of the program to avoid deadlocks.

Thread Communication: In some cases two or more threads should communicate with each
other. One thread output may be send as input to other thread. For example, a consumer thread is
waiting for a Producer to produce the data (or some goods). When the Producer thread completes
production of data, then the Consumer thread should take that data and use it.
In producer class we take a StringBuffer object to store data, in this case; we take some numbers

YASEEN’S Page 125

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

from 1 to 5. These numbers are added to StringBuffer object. Until producer completes placing
the data into StringBuffer the consumer has to wait. Producer sends a notification immediately
after the data production is over.

Program 6: Write a program to demonstrate Thread communication

//inter thread communication
class Producer implements Runnable
{ StringBuffer sb;
Producer ()
{
sb = new StringBuffer();
}
public void run ()
{ synchronized (sb)
{
for (int i=1;i<=5;i++)
{ try
{ sb.append (i + " : ");
Thread.sleep (500);
System.out.println (i + " appended");
}
catch (InterruptedException ie){}
}
sb.notify ();
}
}
}
class Consumer implements Runnable
{ Producer prod;
Consumer (Producer prod)
{
this.prod = prod;
}
public void run()
{ synchronized (prod.sb)
{ try
{
prod.sb.wait ();
}
catch (Exception e) { }
System.out.println (prod.sb);
}

YASEEN’S Page 126

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

}
}
class Communicate
{ public static void main(String args[])
{
Producer obj1 = new Producer ();
Consumer obj2 = new Consumer (obj1);
Thread t1 = new Thread (obj1);
Thread t2 = new Thread (obj2);
t2.start ();
t1.start ();
}
}
Output:

Both sleep () and wait () methods are used to suspend a thread execution for a specified time.
When sleep () is executed inside a synchronized block, the object is still under lock.When wait ()
method is executed, it breaks the synchronized block, so that the object lock is removed and it is
available.

Thread Group: A ThreadGroup represents a group of threads. The main advantage of taking
several threads as a group is that by using a single method, we will be able to control all the
threads in the group.
 Creating a thread group: ThreadGroup tg = new ThreadGroup (“groupname”);
 To add a thread to this group (tg): Thread t1 = new Thread (tg, targetobj, “threadname”);
 To add another thread group to this group (tg):
ThreadGroup tg1 = new ThreadGroup (tg, “groupname”);
 To know the parent of a thread: tg.getParent ();
 To know the parent thread group: t.getThreadGroup ();
This returns a ThreadGroup object to which the thread t belongs.
 To know the number of threads actively running in a thread group: t.activeCount ();
 To change the maximum priority of a thread group tg: tg.setMaxPriority ();

Thread States (Life-Cycle of a Thread): The life cycle of a thread contains several states. At
any time the thread falls into any one of the states.

 The thread that was just created is in the born state.

YASEEN’S Page 129

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 The thread remains in this state until the threads start method is called. This causes the
thread
to enter the ready state.
 The highest priority ready thread enters the running state when system assigns a
processor to
the thread i.e., the thread begins executing.
 When a running thread calls wait the thread enters into a waiting state for the particular
object on which wait was called. Every thread in the waiting state for a given object
becomes
ready on a call to notify all by another thread associated with that object.
 When a sleep method is called in a running thread that thread enters into the suspended
(sleep) state. A sleeping thread becomes ready after the designated sleep time expires. A
sleeping thread cannot use a processor even if one is available.
 A thread enters the dead state when its run () method completes (or) terminates for any
reason. A dead thread is eventually be disposed of by the system.
 One common way for a running thread to enter the blocked state is when the thread issues
an
input or output request. In this case a blocked thread becomes ready when the input or
output
waits for completes. A blocked thread can’t use a processor even if one is available.

21. Abstract Window Toolkit

User interaction with the program is of two types:
 CUI (Character User Interface): In CUI user interacts with the application by typing
characters or commands. In CUI user should remember the commands.It is not user
friendly.
 GUI (Graphical User Interface): - In GUI user interacts with the application through
graphics. GUI is user friendly. GUI makes application attractive. It is possible to
simulate
real object in GUI programs.
In java to write GUI programs we can use awt (Abstract Window Toolkit) package. java.awt is a
package that provides a set of classes and interfaces to create GUI programs.

Classes of AWT
A window represents a box shaped area on the screen. Window does not have border and title.
A Frame is a top level window that is not contained in another window. A Frame contains border
and title.
Creating the Frame:
 We can create a Frame by creating Frame class object. Frame obj = new Frame ();
(or)
Create a class that extends Frame class then create an object to that class.
class MyClass extends Frame
MyClass obj = new MyClass ();
 After creating the Frame we need to set Frame width and height using setSize () method
as:
f.setSize (400, 350);
 We can display the frame using setVisible () method as:
f.setVisible (true);
Program 1: Write a program to create a Frame without extending Frame class.
//creating a Frame

import java.awt.*;
class MyFrame
{
public static void main(String args[])
{ Frame f1 = new Frame ();

f1.setTitle ("GUI World");
f1.setVisible (true);
}
}
Output:

Program 2: Write a program to create a Frame by extending Frame class.

class MyFrame extends Frame
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ MyFrame f1 = new MyFrame ();
f1.setSize (500,200);
f1.setTitle ("GUI World");
f1.setVisible (true);
}
}
Output:

YASEEN’S Page 132

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

The frame can be minimized, maximized and resized but cannot be closed. Even if we click on
close button of the frame, it will not perform any closing action. Closing a frame means attaching
action to the component. To attach actions to the components, we need ‘Event Delegation
Model’.
Event-Delegation-Model: Graphical representation of an object is called a component. User
interaction with the component is called event. When an event is generated by the user on the
component, component will delegate (hand over) the event to the listener. The listener will
delegate the event to one of its method. The method is finally executed and the event is handled.
This is called Event-Delegation-Model. Event-Delegation-Model is used in awt to provide
actions for components. In Event Delegation Model:
 Attach the Listener to the component.
 Implement all the methods of the Listener.
 When an Event is generated one of these methods performs the required action.
Closing the Frame: We know Frame is also a component. We want to close the frame by
clicking on its close button. Let us follow these steps to see how to use event delegation model to
do this:
 We should attach a listener to the frame component. Remember, all listeners are available
in
java.awt.event package. The most suitable listener to the frame is ‘WindowListener’. It
can
be attached using addWindowListener () method as:
f.addWindowListener (WindowListener obj);
Please note that the addWindowListener () method has a parameter that is expecting
object of
WindowListener interface. Since it is not possible to create an object to an interface, we
should create an object to the implementation class of the interface and pass it to the
method.
 Implement all the methods of the WindowListener interface. The following methods are
found in WindowListener interface:
public void windowActivated (WindowEvent e)
public void windowClosed (WindowEvent e)
public void windowClosing (WindowEvent e)
public void windowDeactivated (WindowEvent e)

YASEEN’S Page 133

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

public void windowDeiconified (WindowEvent e)

public void windowIconified (WindowEvent e)
public void windowOpened (WindowEvent e)
In all the preceding methods, WindowListener interface calls public void windowClosing ( )
method when the frame is being closed. So, implementing this method alone is enough, as:
public void windowClosing (WindowEvent e)
{ //Close the application
System.exit (0);
}
For, the remaining methods, we can provide empty body.
 So, when the frame is closed the body of this method is executed and the application gets
closed. In this way, we can handle the frame closing event.
An adapter class is an implementation class of a listener interface which contains all methods
implemented with empty body. For example, WindowAdapter is an adapter class of
WindowListener interface. WindowAdapter in java.awt.event package contains all the methods
of the WindowListener interface with an empty implementation (body). If we can extend
MyClass from this WindowAdapter class, then we need not write all the methods with empty
implementation. We can write only that method which we are in need.
Program 3: Write a program to close the frame using WindowAdapter class.
//creating a Frame and closing the same
import java.awt.*;
class MyFrame extends Frame
{ public static void main(String args[])
{ MyFrame f1 = new MyFrame ();
f1.setSize (500,200);
f1.setTitle ("GUI World");
f1.setVisible (true);
f1.addWindowListener (new MyClass ());
}
}
class MyClass extends WindowAdapter
{ public void windowClosing (WindowEvent e)
{
System.exit (0);
}
}
Output:

YASEEN’S Page 134

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Note: Click on close button, the Frame closes.

The code of MyClass can be copied directly into addWindowListener () method, as:
f1.addWindowListener (new WindowAdapter ()
{
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
{
System.exit (0);
}
});

We cannot find the name of MyClass anywhere in the code. It means the name of MyClass is
hidden in MyFame class and hence MyClass is an inner class in MyFrame class whose name is
not mentioned. Such an inner class is called ‘anonymous inner class’. An anonymous inner class
is an inner class whose name is not written and for which only one object is created. A class for
which only one object is created is called singleton class.
Displaying text in the Frame: We need paint () method whenever we want to display some new
drawing or text or images in the Frame. The paint () method is automatically called when a frame
is created and displayed. The paint () method refreshes the frame contents automatically when a
drawing is displayed. The paint () method takes Graphics Class object as parameter. Gaphics
class is present in java.awt package.
 To display some text or strings in the frame, we can take the help of drawstring () method
of
Graphics class as:
g.drawString (“Hai Readers”, x, y);
Here, the string “Hai Readers” will be displayed starting from the coordinates (x, y).
 If we want to set some color for the text, we can use setColor () method of Graphics class
as:
g.setColor (Color.red);
There are two ways to set a color in awt.
 The first way is by directly mentioning the needed standard color name from Color class
as Color.black, Color.blue, Color.cyan, Color.pink, Color.red, Color.orange,
Color.magenta, Color.darkGray, Color.gray, Color.lightGray, Color.green, Color.yellow
and Color.white etc.

YASEEN’S Page 135

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

 The second way to mention any color is by combining the three primary colors: red,
green and blue while creating Color class object as:
Color c = new Color (r, g, b);
Here, r, g, b values can change from 0 to 255. 0 represents no color. 10 represent low
intensity whereas 200 represent high intensity of color.
e.g.: Color c = new Color (255, 0, 0); //red color
 To set some font to the text, we can use setFont () method of Graphics class, as:
g.setFont (Font object);
This method taked Font class object, which can be created as:
Font f = new Font (“SansSerif”, Font.BOLD, 30);
Here, “SansSerif” represents the font name; Font.BOLD represents the font style and 30
represents the font size in pixels.
Program 4: Write a program to display a message in the frame.
//Displaying a message in the frame
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class Message extends Frame
{ Message ()
{ //code to close the Frame
this.addWindowListener (new WindowAdapter ()
{ public void windowClosing (WindowEvent we)
{
System.exit (0);
}
});
}
public static void main (String args[])
{ Message m = new Message ();
m.setTitle ("Simple Message");
m.setSize (650,150);
m.setVisible (true);
}
public void paint (Graphics g)
{ this.setBackground (Color.green);
g.setColor (Color.red);
Font f = new Font ("Times New Roman", Font.BOLD+Font.ITALIC, 60);
g.setFont (f);
g.drawString ("Hello Readers!”, 50, 100);
}
}

Drawing in the Frame: Graphics class of java.awt package has the following methods which
help to draw various shapes.
 drawLine (int x1, int y1,int x2, int y2): to draw a line connecting (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
 drawRect (int x, int y, int w, int h): draws outline of the rectangle, rectangles top left
corner
starts at (x, y) the width is w and height is h.
 drawRoundRect (int x, int y, int w, int h, int arcw, int arch): draws the outline of the
rectangle with rounded corners. Rectangles top left corner starts at (x, y) the width is w
and
height is h. The rounding is specified by arcw and arch.
 drawOval (int x, int y, int w, int h): This method draws a circle or ellipse.
 drawArc(int x, int y, int w, int h, int sangle, int aangle): draws an arc where sangle stands
for starting angle and aangle stands for ending angle.
 drawPolygon (int x[], int y[], int n): This method draws a polygon that connects pairs of
coordinates . Here, x[] is an array which holds x coordinates of points and y[] is an array
which holds y coordinates, n represents the number of pairs of coordinates.
To fill any shape with a desired color, first of all we should set a color using setColor () method.
Then any of the following methods will draw those respective shapes by filling with the color.
 fillRect (int x, int y, int w, int h): Draws a rectangle and fills it with the specified color.
 drawRoundRect (int x, int y, int w, int h, int arcw, int arch): Draws filled rectangle with
rounded corners.
 drawOval (int x, int y, int w, int h): Draws filled oval with a specified color.
 drawArc(int x, int y, int w, int h, int sangle, int aangle): Draws an arc and fills it with a
specified color.
 drawPolygon (int x[], int y[], int n): Draws and fills a polygon with a specified color.
Program 5: Write a program to draw different shapes in the frame.
//Program to draw different shapes

Displaying images in the frame:

 Load the image into Image class object using getImage () method of Toolkit class.
Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit ().getImage ("diamonds.gif");
 But, loading the image into img will take some time, for this purpose we need
MediaTracker
class. Add image to MediaTracker class and allot an identification number to it starting
from
0, 1...
MediaTracker track = new MediaTracker (this);
track.addImage (img, 0);
 Now, MediaTracker keeps JVM waiting till the image is loaded completely. This is done
by
waitForId () method.
track.waitForId (0);
 Once the image is loaded and available in img, then we can display the image using
drawImage () method of Graphics class as:
g.drawImage (img, 50, 50, null);
Here null represents ImageObserver class object which is not required. ImageObserver is
useful to store history of how the image is loaded into the Object.
Program 6: Write a Program to display image on the frame using awt.

Component Class Methods: A component is a graphical representation of an object on the

screen. For example, push buttons, radio buttons, menus etc are components. Even frame is also
a component. There is Component class available in java.awt package which contains the
following methods which are applicable to any component.

Method Description
Font getFont () This method returns the font of the component.
void setFont (Font f) This method sets a particular font f for the text of the
component.
Color getForeground () This method gives the foreground color of the
component.
void setForeground (Color c) This method sets a foreground color c to the component.
Color getBackground () Gets the background color of the component.
void setBackground (Color c) Sets the background color c for the component.
String getName () Returns the name of the component.
void setName (String name) Sets a new name for the component.
int getHeight () Returns the height of the component in pixels as an
integer.
int getWidth () Returns the width of the component in pixels as an
integer.
Dimension getSize () Returns the size of the component as an object of
Dimension class. Dimension.width and Dimension.height
will provide the width and height of the component.
int getX () Returns the current x coordinate of the components
origin.

YASEEN’S Page 141

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

int getY () Returns the current y coordinate of the components

origin.
Point getLocation () Gets the locationof the component in the form of a point
specifying the components top-left corner.
void setLocation (int x, int y) Moves the component to a new location specified by (x,
y).
void setSize(int width, int height) Resizes the component so that it has new width and
height
as passed to setSize () method.
void setVisible (boolean b) Shows the component if the value of b is true or hides the
component if the value of parameter b is false.
void setEnabled (boolean b) Enables the component if the value of b is true or disables
the component if the value of parameter b is false.
void setBounds (int x, int y, int w, This method allots a rectangular area starting at (x ,y)
int h) coordinates and with width w and height h. The
component
is resized to this area before its display. This method is
useful to specify the location of the component in the
frame.

 After creating a component, we should add the component to the frame. For this purpose,
add
() method is used. f.add (component); where f is frame class object.
 Similarly, to remove a component from the frame, we can use remove () method as:
f.remove (component); where f is frame class object.
 Frame class contains a method called setLayout (). setLayout () is useful to set a layout
for
the frame. A layout represents a manner of arranging components in the frame. All
layouts
are represented as implementation classes of LayoutManager interface. For example, the
following layouts are available in AWT:
 FlowLayout: FlowLayout is useful to arrange the components in a line after the other.
When a line is filled with components, they are automatically placed in the next line.
 BorderLayout: BorderLayout is useful to arrange the components in the 4 borders of the
frame as well as in the center. The borders are specified as South, North, East, West and
Center.
 CardLayout: A cardLayout treats each component as a card. Only one card is visible at a
time and it arranges the components as a stack of cards.
 GridLayout: It is useful to divide the display area into a two dimensional grid form that
contains several rows and columns. The display area is divided into equal sized
rectangles and one component is placed in each rectangle.
 GridBagLayout: This layout is more flexible as compared to other layouts since in this

YASEEN’S Page 142

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

layout the components can span more than one row or column and the size of the
components can be adjusted to fit the display area.
The following points are helpful to understand how to work with a layout manager:
 To set a layout for out components, we can pass the layout class object to the setLayout ()
method as: setLayout (new FlowLayout ());
 Suppose, we do not want to set any layout, then we should pass null to the setLayout ()
method as: setLayout (null);
 Suppose, we do not use setLayout () method at all, then the Java compiler assumes a
default
layout manager. The default layout in case of a frame is BorderLayout.
Listeners and Listener Methods: Listeners are available for components. A Listener is an
interface that listens to an event from a component. Listeners are available in java.awt.event
package. The methods in the listener interface are to be implemented, when using that listener.
Component Listener Listener methods
Button ActionListener public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
Checkbox ItemListener public void itemStateChanged (ItemEvent e)
TextField ActionListener public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
FocusListener public void focusGained (FocusEvent e)
public void focusLost (FocusEvent e)
TextArea ActionListener public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
FocusListener public void focusGained (FocusEvent e)
public void focusLost (FocusEvent e)
Choice ActionListener public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
ItemListener public void itemStateChanged (ItemEvent e)
List ActionListener public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
ItemListener public void itemStateChanged (ItemEvent e)
Scrollbar AdjustmentListener public void
MouseMotionListener adjustmentValueChanged (AdjustmentEvent
e)
public void mouseDragged (MouseEvent e)
public void mouseMoved (MouseEvent e)
Label No listener is needed
Creating Push Buttons: Button class is useful to create push buttons. A push button triggers a
series of events.
 To create push button: Button b1 =new Button("label");
 To get the label of the button: String l = b1.getLabel();
 To set the label of the button: b1.setLabel("label");
 To get the label of the button clicked: String str = ae.getActionCommand();
where ae is object of ActionEvent
Program 7: Write a program to create push buttons.

Scrollbar Class: Scrollbar class is useful to create scrollbars that can be attached to a frame or
text area. Scrollbars can be arranged vertically or horizontally.
 To create a scrollbar : Scrollbar sb = new Scrollbar (alignment, start, step, min, max);
alignment: Scrollbar.VERTICAL, Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL
start: starting value (e.g. 0)
step: step value (e.g. 30) // represents scrollbar length
min: minimum value (e.g. 0)
max: maximum value (e.g. 300)
 To know the location of a scrollbar: int n = sb.getValue ();
 To update scrollbar position to a new position: sb.setValue (int position);
 To get the maximum value of the scrollbar: int x = sb.getMaximum ();
 To get the minimum value of the scrollbar: int x = sb.getMinimum ();
 To get the alignment of the scrollbar: int x = getOrientation ();
This method return 0 if the scrollbar is aligned HORIZONTAL, 1 if aligned VERTICAL.

Handling Keyboard Events: A user interacts with the application by pressing keys on the
keyboard. A programmer should know which key the user has pressed on the keyboard. These
are also called ‘events’. Knowing these events will enable the programmer to write his code
according to the key pressed. KeyListener interface of java.awt.event package helps to know
which key is pressed or released by the user. It has 3 methods:

Method Description
public void keyPressed (KeyEvent ke) This method is called when a key is pressed on
the keyboard. This include any key on the
keyboard along with special keys like function
keys, shift, alter, caps lock, home and end etc.
public void keyTyped (KeyEvent ke) This method is called when a key is typed on
the
keyboard. This is ame as keyPressed () method
but this method is called when general keys
like A to Z or 1 to 9 etc are typed. It cannot
work with special keys.
public void keyReleased (KeyEvent ke) This method is called when a key is released.
KeyEvent class has the following methods to know which key is typed by the user:
Method Description
char getKeyChar () This method returns the key name (or
character)
related to the key pressed or released.
int getKeyCode () This method returns an integer number which
is the value of the key pressed by the user.
The following are the key codes for the keys on the keyboard. They are defined as constants in
YASEEN’S Page 157

KeyEvent class. Remember VK represents Virtual Key.

Key Code Description
VK_A to VK_Z To represent keys from a to z
VK_0 to VK_9 To represent keys from 0 to 9
VK_F1 to VK_F12 To represent keys from F1 to F12
VK_HOME, VK_END To represent home, end keys
VK_PAGE_UP, VK_PAGE_DOWN To represent pageup, pagedown keys
VK_INSERT, VK_DELETE To represent insert, Delete keys
VK_CAPS_LOCK, VK_ALT, VK_ESCAPE To represent capslock, alter, escape keys
VK_CONTROL, VK_SHIFT, VK_TAB To represent control, shift, tab keys
VK_LEFT, VK_RIGHT, VK_UP, To represent arrow keys
VK_DOWN

22. Swings
When awt components are created, internally native methods (c language functions) are executed
which create peer component (equivalent component). awt components are heavy weight
components. The look and feel of awt component change depending upon the operating system.
JFC represents a class library that is extended from awt. JFC stands for Java Foundation Classes.
JFC is an extension of the original awt, it does not replace awt. JFC components are light weight
components, they take less system resources.

Creating a Frame:
Create an object to JFrame: JFrame ob = new JFrame ("title");
(or)
Create a class as subclass to JFrame class: MyFrame extends JFrame
Create an object to that class : MyFrame ob = new MyFrame ();
Program 1: Write a program to create a frame by creating an object to JFrame class.
//A swing Frame
import javax.swing.*;
class MyFrame
{
public static void main (String agrs[])
{ JFrame jf = new JFrame ("My Swing Frame...");
jf.setSize (400,200);
jf.setVisible (true);
jf.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
}

YASEEN’S Page 160

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

Output:

Note: To close the frame, we can take the help of getDefaultCloseOperation () method of
JFrame class, as shown here:
getDefaultCloseOperation (constant);
where the constant can be any one of the following:
 JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE: This closes the application upon clicking on close button.
 JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE: This disposes the present frame which is visible on the
screen. The JVM may also terminate.
 JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE: This will not perform any operation upon
clicking on close button.
 JFrame.HIDE_ON_CLOSE: This hides the frame upon clicking on close button.
Window Panes: In swings the components are attached to the window panes only.A window
pane represents a free area of a window where some text or components can be displayed. For
example, we can create a frame using JFrame class in javax.swing which contains a free area
inside it, this free area is called 'window pane'. Four types of window panes are available in
javax.swing package.
 Glass Pane: This is the first pane and is very close to the monitors screen. Any
components
to be displayed in the foreground are attached to this glass pane. To reach this glass
pane, we
use getGlassPane () method of JFrame class.
 Root Pane: This pane is below the glass pane. Any components to be displayed in the
background are displayed in this pane. Root pane and glass pane are used in animations
also.
For example, suppose we want to display a flying aeroplane in the sky. The aeroplane
can be
displayed as a .gif or .jpg file in the glass pane where as the blue sky can be displayed in
the

YASEEN’S Page 161

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

root pane in the background. To reach this root pane, we use getRootPane () method of
JFrame class.
 Layered Pane: This pane lies below the root pane. When we want to take several
components as a group, we attach them in the layered pane. We can reach this pane by
calling getLayeredPane () method of JFrame class.
 Content Pane: This is the bottom most pane of all. Individual components are attached
to
this pane. To reach this pane, we can call getContentPane () method of JFrame class.

Displaying Text in the Frame: paintComponent (Graphics g) method of JPanel class is used to
paint the portion of a component in swing. We should override this method in our class. In the
following example, we are writing our class MyPanel as a subclass to JPanel and override the
painComponent () method.
Program 2: Wrire a program to display text in the frame.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class MyPanel extends JPanel
{ public void paintComponent (Graphics g)
{ super.paintComponent (g); //call JPanel’s method

g.setColor (Color.white);
g.setFont (new Font("Courier New",Font.BOLD,30));
g.drawString ("Hello Readers!", 50, 100);
}
}

{ FrameDemo ()
{
Container c = getContentPane ();
MyPanel mp = new MyPanel ();
c.add (mp);
setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

JComponent Class Methods: JComponent class of javax.swing package is the subclass of the
Component class of java.awt. So, whatever the methods are available in Component class are
also available to JComponent. This is the reason why almost all the methods of AWT are useful
in swing also. Additional methods found in JComponent are also applicable for the components
created in swing.
When a component is created, to dislay it in the frame, we should not attach it to the frame
directly as we did in AWT. On the other hand, the component should be attached to a window
pane.
 To add the component to the content pane, we can write, as:
c.add (component); where c represents the content pane which is represented by
Container object.
 Similarly, to remove the component we can use remove () method as:
c.remove (component);
 To remove all the components from the content pane we can use removeAll () method as:
c.removeAll ();
 When components are to be displayed in the frame, we should first set a layout which
arranges the components in a particular manner in the frame as:
c.setLayout (new FlowLayout ());
The following methods of JComponent class are very useful while handling the
components:
 To set some background color to the component, we can use setBackground () method,
as:
component.setBackground (Color.yellow);
 To set the foreground color to the component, we can use setForeground () method, as:
component.setForeground (Color.red);
 To set some font for the text displayed on the component, we can use setFont () method.
We
should pass Font class object to this method, as:

YASEEN’S Page 163

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

component.setFont (Font obj);

where, Font class object can be created as:
Font obj = new Font (“fontname”, style, size);
 To set the tool tip text, we can use setToolTipText () method, as:
component.setToolTipText (“This is for help”);
 To set a mnemonic, we can use setMnemonic () method, as:
component.setMnemonic (‘c’);
 To enable or disable a component, we can use setEnabled () method, as:
component.setEnabled (true);
 To make a component to be visible or invisible, we can use setVisible () method, as:
component.setVisible (true);
 To know the current height of the component, use getHeight () method, as:
component.getHeight ();
 To know the current width of the component, use getWidth () method, as:
component.getHeight ();
 To know the current x coordinate of the component
component.getX ()
 To know the current y coordinate of the component component.getY ()
 To set the location of the component in the frame, we can use setBounds () method, as:
component.setBounds (x, y, width, height);
PushButton:
 To create a JButton with text: JButton b = new JButton (“OK”);
 To create a JButton with image: JButton b = new JButton (ImageIcon ii);
 To create a JButton with text & image: JButton b = new JButton (“OK”, ImageIcon ii);
It is possible to create components in swing with images on it. The image is specified by
ImageIcon class object.
Program 3: Write a program to create a JButton component.
//JButton Demo

class JButton1 extends JFrame
{ JButton b;

Layout Manager: Layout Manager is an interface that arranges the components on the screen.
Layout Manager is implemented in the following classes:
FlowLayout, BorderLayout, CardLayout, GridLayout, GridBagLayout
FlowLayout: FlowLayout is useful to arrange the components in a line after the other. When a
line is filled with components, they are automatically placed in the next line.
Program 11: Write a program to create push buttons and arrange them using flow layout.
//Flow layout example
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class Example1 extends JFrame
{ Example1 ()
{ Container c = getContentPane ();
c.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT,20,40));
// where 20 and 40 specifies hgap and vgap respectively.
JButton b1 = new JButton ("First");
JButton b2 = new JButton ("Second");
JButton b3 = new JButton ("Third");
//add(c);

BorderLayout: BorderLayout is useful to arrange the components in the 4 borders of the frame
as well as in the center. The borders are specified as South, North, East, West and Center.
Program12: Write a program to create push buttons and arrange them using border layout.
//Border layout example
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class Example2 extends JFrame
{ Example2 ()
{ Container c = getContentPane ();
c.setLayout (new BorderLayout ());
JButton b1 = new JButton ("First");
JButton b2 = new JButton ("Second");
JButton b3 = new JButton ("Third");
JButton b4 = new JButton ("Fourth");
JButton b5 = new JButton ("Fifth");
//add(c);
c.add (b1,"North"); c.add (b2,"South"); c.add (b3, "Center");

CardLayout: A cardLayout is a layout managere which treats each component as a card. Only
one card is visible at a time and the container acts as a stack of cards.
Program 13: Write a program to create push buttons and arrange them using border layout.
//Card layout example
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class Example3 extends JFrame implements ActionListener

GridLayout: It is useful to divide the container into a two dimensional grid form that contains
several rows and columns. The container is divided into equal sized rectangles and one
component is placed in each rectangle. GridLayout (), GridLayout (int rows, int cols),
GridLayout (int rows, int cols, int hgap, int vgap) are constructors.
Program 14: Write a program to create push buttons and arrange them using grid layout.
//Grid layout example
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class Example4 extends JFrame

}
public static void main (String args[])
{ Example4 ob = new Example4 ();
ob.setTitle ("Grid Layout...");
ob.setSize (600,250);
ob.setVisible (true);
}
}
Output:

GridBagLayout: This layout is more flexible as compared to other layouts since in this layout
the components can span more than one row or column and the size of the components can be
adjusted to fit the display area.
· To create grid bag layout: GridBagLayout obj = new GridBagLayout ();
· To apply some constraints on the components, we should first create an object to
GridBagConstraints class, as: GridBagConstraints cons = new GridBagConstraints ();
· GridBagConstraints.gridx, GridBagConstraints.gridy represents the row and column
positions of the component at upper left corner.

YASEEN’S Page 183

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

· GridBagConstraints.gridwidth, GridBagConstraints.gridheight specifies number of columns

and rows in the components display area.
· GridBagConstraints.ipadx, GridBagConstraints.ipady are useful to leave space horizontally
and vertically with in the component.
· GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL makes the component wide enough to fill its display
area horizontally, but do not change its height.
· GridBagConstraints.VERTICAL makes the component tall enough to fill its display area
vertically, but do not change its width.
· GridBagConstraints.Both makes the component fill its display area entirely.
· GridBagConstraints.insets is useful to leave some space around the component at the four
edges of component. This space is left around the component and the boundary of its display
area. insets is the object of Insets class, so it is created as:
Insets insets = new Insets (5, 10, 15, 20);
Program 15: Write a program to create push buttons and arrange them using grid bag layout.
//GridBag layout example

23. Applets
An applet is a program that comes from server into a client and gets executed at client side and
displays the result. An applet represents byte code embedded in a html page. (applet = bytecode
+ html) and run with the help of Java enabled browsers such as Internet Explorer. An applet is a
Java program that runs in a browser. Unlike Java applications applets do not have a main ()
method. To create applet we can use java.applet.Applet or javax.swing.JApplet class. All applets
inherit the super class ‘Applet’. An Applet class contains several methods that helps to control
the execution of an applet.
Advantages:
· Applets provide dynamic nature for a webpage.
· Applets are used in developing games and animations.
Creating an applet:
· Let the Applet class extends Applet or JApplet class.
· Overide the following methods of Applet class.
o public void init (): This method is used for initializing variables, parameters to create
components. This method is executed only once at the time of applet loaded into
memory.
o public void start (): After init() method is executed, the start method is executed
automatically. Start method is executed as long as applet gains focus. In this method code
related to opening files and connecting to database and retrieving the data and processing
the data is written.
o public void stop (): This mehtod is executed when the applet loses focus. Code related to
closing the files and database, stopping threads and performing clean up operations are
written in this stop method.
o public void destroy (): This method is exexuted only once when the applet is terminated
from the memory.
Executing above methods in that sequence is called applet life cycle. We can also use public
void paint (Graphics g) in applets.
After writing an applet, an applet is compiled in the same way as Java application but running of
an applet is different. There are two ways to run an applet.
· Executing an applet within a Java compatible web browser.
· Executing an applet using ‘appletviewer’. This executes the applet in a window.
To execute an applet using web browser, we must write a small HTML file which contains the
appropriate ‘APPLET’ tag. <APPLET> tag is useful to embed an applet into an HTML page. It
has the following form:
<APPLET CODE=”name of the applet class file” CODEBASE=”path of the applet class file”
HEIGHT = maximum height of applet in pixels WIDTH = maximum width of applet
in pixels ALIGN = alignment (LEFT, RIGHT, MIDDLE, TOP, BOTTOM)
ALT = alternate text to be displayed>
<PARAM NAME = parameter name VALUE = its value>
</APPLET>
The <PARAM> tag useful to define a variable (parameter) and its value inside the HTML page

YASEEN’S Page 186

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

which can be passed to the applet. The applet can access the parameter value using getParameter
() method, as:
String value = getParameter (“pname”);
Where pname is the parameter name and its value is retrieved.
The HTML file must be saved with .html extension. After creating this file, open the Java
compatible browser (Internet Explorer) and then load this file by specifying the complete path,
then Applet program will get executed.
In order to execute applet program with an applet viewer, simply include a comment at the head
of Java Source code file that contains the ‘APPLET’ tag.Thus, our code is documented with a
prototype of the necessary HTML statements and we can test out compiled applet by starting the
appletviewer with the Java file as: appletviewer programname.java
Program 1: Write an applet program with a message and display the message in paint () method.
/* <applet code="MyApplet.class" width = 600 height= 450>
</applet> */
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
public class MyApplet extends Applet
{ String msg="";
public void init()
{
msg += "init";
}
public void start()
{
msg +=" start";
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawString(msg,10,100);
}
public void stop()
{
msg += " stop";
}
public void destroy()
{
msg+= " destroy";
}
}
Output:

Program 2: Write a program to move an image from left to right in an Applet. To load an image
use Image class of java.awt.
/* <applet code="MyApplet1.class" width = 600 height= 450>
</applet> */

import java.awt.*;
public class MyApplet1 extends Applet

24.Swings
Swing is a set of classes that provides more powerful and flexible components than are possible
with the AWT. In addition to the familiar components, such as buttons, check boxes, and labels,
Swing supplies several exciting additions, including tabbed panes, scroll panes, trees, and tables.
Even familiar components such as buttons have more capabilities in Swing. For example, a
button may have both an image and a text string associated with it. Also, the image can be
changed as the state of the button changes. Unlike AWT components, Swing components are not
implemented by platform-specific code. Instead, they are written entirely in Java and, therefore,
are platform-independent. The term lightweight is used to describe such elements. The number of
classes and interfaces in the Swing packages is substantial, and this chapter provides an overview
of just a few. Swing is an area that you will want to explore further on your own.

The Swing component classes that are used in this book are shown here:
Class Description

AbstractButton Abstract superclass for Swing buttons.

ButtonGroup Encapsulates a mutually exclusive set of

buttons.
ImageIcon Encapsulates an icon.

JApplet The Swing version of Applet.

JButton The Swing push button class.

JCheckBox The Swing check box class.

JComboBox Encapsulates a combo box (an combination of

a drop-down list and text field).
JLabel The Swing version of a label.

JRadioButton The Swing version of a radio button.

YASEEN’S Page 190

J2SE CORE JAVA MATERIAL 2022

JScrollPane Encapsulates a scrollable window.

Encapsulates a tabbed window.

JTabbedPane

JTable Encapsulates a table-based control.

JTextField The Swing version of a text field.

JTree Encapsulates a tree-based control.
