What is Java?
23 October 2007
Java is an Object Oriented Programming language. Javas syntax is similar to C / C++ syntax. Java is both compiled and interpreted. The intermediate form is called Java byte code, which is platform independent. Byte codes are interpreted by JVM during runtime.

Java Platform
The Java Platform has two components: The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) The Java Application Programming Interface (Java API)
23 October 2007
The Java VM is base for Java platform and is ported onto various hardware-based and OS based platforms. The Java API is a large collection of ready-made, frequently used class libraries, stored in packages.

Two major data types Primitive Because java program has to run on different architecture and OS, the size of the data should remain same. Otherwise, on different machines the output will be different Reference All objects are of type reference data type. Java doesnt allow directly to access memory. But objects are refered by pointers only.

Examples: Arrays Strings Objects Interfaces The name reference means a pointer in the memory. All objects are referred by their memory location only. But user cannot directly access memory location. Memory management is taken care by JVM itself.

Arrays in Java
Java arrays are objects. Array contains like-typed values. Array can contain both primitive and reference data types. When used with reference data types, reference (memory location) is only stored in arrays and not the real objects. Java supports multidimensional arrays. They are nothing but array of arrays.

Arrays in Java
Array Declaration int myIntegers[]; int[] myIntegers; Array memory allocation: int myIntegers[] = new int[10]; Array Initialization: int myIntegers[] = {1,2,3,4,5};

Strings in Java
A sequence of characters is encapsulated as a String object. Java uses + operator for String concatenation. Some useful String functions are: s.length(); s1.equals(s2); s1.subString(int startIndex, int upTo);
