2. Java - An Introduction
 Java - The new programming language developed by
Sun Microsystems (James Gosling) in 1991.
 Originally called Oak.
 Java Authors: James Gosling, Arthur Van Hoff, Andy
Bechtolsheim
 A general-purpose object-oriented language.
 Designed for easy Web/Internet applications

3. Java - An Introduction
 Originally created for consumer electronics (TV, VCR,
Freeze, Washing Machine, Mobile Phone).
 Java - CPU Independent language
 Internet and Web was just emerging, so Sun turned it
into a language of Internet Programming.
 It allows you to publish a webpage with Java code in it.

4. Year Development
1990 Sun decided to developed special software that could be used for
electronic devices. A project called Green Project created and
head by James Gosling.
1991 Explored possibility of using C++, with some updates announced
a new language named “Oak”
1992 The team demonstrated the application of their new language to
control a list of home appliances using a hand held device.
1993 The World Wide Web appeared on the Internet and transformed
the text-based interface to a graphical rich environment. The team
developed Web applets (time programs) that could run on all
types of computers connected to the Internet.

5. Java Milestones
Year Development
1994 The team developed a new Web browsed called
“Hot Java” to locate and run Applets. HotJava
gained instance success.
1995 Oak was renamed to Java, as it did not survive
“legal” registration. Many companies such as
Netscape and Microsoft announced their support for
Java
1996 Java established itself as both
1. “the language for Internet programming”
2. a general purpose OO language.
1997 A class libraries, Community effort and
standardization, Enterprise Java, Clustering, etc..

12. JVM : Java Virtual Machine
 CPU are capable of executing only the machine
instruction.
 Different type of CPU hava different set of machine
instruction.
 To enable java program to be executed on different
CPUs without modification, Java program are
complied into machine instruction that can be
understood and executed by idealized CPU.
12RAJESHREE KHANDE

13. JVM : Java Virtual Machine (Cont..)
 Such CPU is called as Java virtual Machine (JVM)
 Actually JVM is simulated program which is
executed on actual CPU.
13RAJESHREE KHANDE

14. Cont…
 Compiled and Interpreted
 Java compiler generate byte-codes, not native
machine code.
 The compiled byte-codes are platform-
independent.
 Java bytecodes are translated to machine
readable instructions at runtime (Java Virtual
Machine)

17. Cont..
 Java Compiler - Java source code (file with
extension .java) to bytecode (file with
extension .class)
 Bytecode - an intermediate form, closer to
machine representation
 A interpreter (virtual machine) on any target
platform interprets the bytecode.
17RAJESHREE KHANDE

18. Cont..
 Porting the java system to any new platform
involves writing an interpreter.
 The interpreter will figure out what the
equivalent machine dependent code to run.
18RAJESHREE KHANDE

19. Cont…
 Robust and Secure
 Usage in networked environments requires more
security
 Provides many safeguard to ensure reliable code.
 Strict compile time & run time type checking.
 Memory allocation model is a major defense
 Access restrictions are forced (private, public)
19RAJESHREE KHANDE

20. Cont…
 Distributed
 Designed as distributed lang. For creating
application on network.
 Java program can access remote access remote
objects on internet
20RAJESHREE KHANDE

22RAJESHREE KHANDE

23. Java better than C ?
 No Preprocessor
 No Global Variables
 No data types struct, union and enum
 No Goto ,size of and typedef
 No type modifier keywords auto, extern, register,
signed and unsigned.
 No Pointers
 Add labeled break and continue
23RAJESHREE KHANDE

24. Rich Class Environment
 Core Classes
 Language support Package :
Collection of classes For Implementing Basic
features of Java (java.lang.*)
 Utilities Package :
provide utility function such as date & time
(java.util.*)
 Input/Output package:
Collection of class required for input/output (java.io.*)
24RAJESHREE KHANDE

25. Rich Class Environment
 Networking package:
Collection of classes communication with other
computers via internet. (java.net.*)
 Abstract Window Tool Kit (AWT) :
Collection of Packages that implement platform
independent GUI (java.awt.*)
 Applet Package :
Set of classes allows to create applet program
(java.applet.*)
25RAJESHREE KHANDE

26. Java Applications
 We can develop two types of Java programs:
 Stand-alone applications
 Web applications (applets)
26RAJESHREE KHANDE

27. Applications v/s Applets
 Different ways to run a Java executable are:
Application-
A stand-alone program that can be invoked from
command line . A program that has a “main”
method
Applet-
A program embedded in a web page , to be run
when the page is browsed . A program that
contains no “main” method
27RAJESHREE KHANDE

28. Applets v/s Applications
 Different ways to run a Java executable are
Application –Executed by the Java interpreter.
Applet- Java enabled web browser.
28RAJESHREE KHANDE

29. Significance of downloading
Applets
 Interactive WWW
 Flashy animation instead of static web pages
 Applets react to users input and dynamically change
 Display of dynamic data
 WWW with Java - more than a document publishing
medium
 http://www.javasoft.com/applets/alpha/applets/Stock

35RAJESHREE KHANDE

36. public static void main
Access to all / can be accessed from
everywhere
Does not return
anything
main Method
Means the main
method is shared by all
objects in the class.
Access without object
name
36RAJESHREE KHANDE

37. System.out.println(“…”);
Out is the output stream
used to connect the
console
To print the
specific string onto
output device in
next line.
System is predefined class
to provide access to the
system
System: System refers to current java program.
Out : out refers to output device. by default it is monitor.
println : to print the specific string onto output device in
next line
OR
37RAJESHREE KHANDE

38. Program Processing

43. Class & Object
 What Are Classes?
A class is a blueprint or prototype that
defines the variables and the methods
common to all objects of a certain kind.
 What Is an Object?
An object is a software bundle of variables
and related methods. Software objects are
often used to model real-world objects you
find in everyday life
43RAJESHREE KHANDE

44. Class vs. Object
 Specifies the
structure (the
number and types)
of its objects’
attributes — the
same for all of its
objects
 Specifies the
possible behaviors
of its objects
 Holds specific
values of attributes;
these values can
change while the
program is running
 Behaves
appropriately when
called upon
44RAJESHREE KHANDE

45. Class vs. Object
 A piece of the
program’s source
code
 Written by a
programmer
 An entity in a
running program
 Created when the
program is running
(by the main method
or a constructor or
another method)
45RAJESHREE KHANDE

46. Classes
public class Car
{
...
}
Car.java By convention, the
name of a class (and
its source file) always
starts with a capital
letter.
(In Java, all names are case-sensitive.)
46RAJESHREE KHANDE

47. public class SomeClass
 Fields
 Constructors
 Methods
}
Attributes / variables that define the
object’s state; can hold numbers,
characters, strings, other objects
Procedures for constructing
a new object of this class
and initializing its fields
Actions that an object
of this class can take
(behaviors)
{
Class header
SomeClass.java
import ... import statements
47RAJESHREE KHANDE

48. Classes
 A class is a collection of fields (data) and methods
(procedure or function) that operate on that data.
 The basic syntax for a class definition:
 Bare bone class – no fields, no methods
public class Circle {
// my circle class
}
ClassName]
{
[fields declaration]
[methods declaration]
}
48RAJESHREE KHANDE

49. Classes
 Classes describe the data held by each of its
objects
 A class may describe any number of objects
 A class may describe a single object, or even
no objects at all
