Java Notes
*Introduction of java:-
Java is great programming language for the development of enterprise grade applications.
This programming Language is evolved from a language named Oak. Oak was developed in the
early nineties at Sun Microsystems as a platform-independent language aimed at allowing
entertainment appliances such as video game consoles and VCRs to communicate. Oak was
first slated to appear in television set-top boxes designed to provide video-on-demand services.
Oak was unsuccessful so in 1995 Sun changed the name to Java and modified the language to
take advantage of the growing World Wide Web.
Java is an object-oriented language, and this is very similar to C++. Java Programming
Language is simplified to eliminate language features that cause common programming errors.
Java source code files are compiled into a format called byte code, which can then be executed
by a Java interpreter.
*Features of java:-
• Platform Independence
The Write-Once-Run-Anywhere ideal has not been achieved (tuning for different
platforms usually required), but closer than with other languages.
• Object Oriented
o Object oriented throughout - no coding outside of class definitions, including
main().
o An extensive class library available in the core language packages.
• Compiler/Interpreter Combo
o Code is compiled to bytecodes that are interpreted by a Java virtual machines
(JVM) .
o This provides portability to any machine for which a virtual machine has been
written.
o The two steps of compilation and interpretation allow for extensive code checking
and improved security.
• Robust
o Exception handling built-in, strong type checking (that is, all data must be
declared an explicit type), local variables must be initialized.
• Several dangerous features of C & C++ eliminated:

o No memory pointers
o No preprocessor
o Array index limit checking
• Automatic Memory Management

o Automatic garbage collection - memory management handled by JVM.
• Security
o No memory pointers
o Programs run inside the virtual machine sandbox.
o Array index limit checking
o Code pathologies reduced by
 bytecode verifier - checks classes after loading
 class loader - confines objects to unique namespaces. Prevents loading a
hacked "java.lang.SecurityManager" class, for example.
 security manager - determines what resources a class can access such as
reading and writing to the local disk.
• Dynamic Binding
o The linking of data and methods to where they are located, is done at run-time.
o New classes can be loaded while a program is running. Linking is done on the fly.
• Even if libraries are recompiled, there is no need to recompile code that uses classes in
those libraries.
• Good Performance
o Interpretation of bytecodes slowed performance in early versions, but advanced
virtual machines with adaptive and just-in-time compilation and other techniques
now typically provide performance up to 50% to 100% the speed of C++
programs.
• Threading
o Lightweight processes, called threads, can easily be spun off to perform
multiprocessing.
o Can take advantage of multiprocessors where available
o Great for multimedia displays.
• Built-in Networking
o Java was designed with networking in mind and comes with many classes to
develop sophisticated Internet communications.
Features such as eliminating memory pointers and by checking array limits greatly help to
remove program bugs. The garbage collector relieves programmers of the big job of memory
management. These and the other features can lead to a big speedup in program development
compared to C/C++ programming.
JDK is a software development program provided by sun Microsystems. Java Development Kit
or JDK comes in various versions and can be downloaded free from the sun Microsystems.
JVM compiler, debugger and other tools are used with JDK for developing java based
application & java applets. So make sure that your JVM compiler & JDK versions are same.
JDK also known as Java 2 Platform That comes in three editions J2ME, J2SE & J2EE.

Java SDK Directory Structure
The jdk1.5.0 has following directory:
Bin directory - The bin directory provides all inessential tools for developing and testing the
program through the help of command provided by Java compiler.
Demo directory - This directory consists many applications
And applets with source code.
Include directory - It contains all header files like for 'C' programming language that enables
you to combine C code into a Java program.
Jre directory- when you run any java program then you have compile it by the help of java
interpreter or java Runtime environment(JRE).The SDK uses the internal adaption of JRE, which
containing in the jre root directory.
Lib directory- this is most important important directory for development tools that contains
libraries and it’s supported files.
Docs Directory-It is the last directory of software development kit that assistes you to store the
java documents. The docs directory is an optional directory

Data type in java

Boolean
1-bit. May take on the values true and false only.
true and false are defined constants of the language and are not the same as True and
False, TRUE and FALSE, zero and nonzero, 1 and 0 or any other numeric value.
Booleans may not be cast into any other type of variable nor may any other variable be
cast into a Boolean.
Byte
1 signed byte (two's complement). Covers values from -128 to 127.
short
2 bytes, signed (two's complement), -32,768 to 32,767
int
4 bytes, signed (two's complement). -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. Like all numeric

types ints may be cast into other numeric types (byte, short, long, float, double). When
lossy casts are done (e.g. int to byte) the conversion is done modulo the length of the
smaller type.
long
8 bytes signed (two's complement). Ranges from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to

+9,223,372,036,854,775,807.
float
4 bytes, IEEE 754. Covers a range from 1.40129846432481707e-45 to

3.40282346638528860e+38 (positive or negative).
Like all numeric types floats may be cast into other numeric types (byte, short, long, int,
double). When lossy casts to integer types are done (e.g. float to short) the fractional part
is truncated and the conversion is done modulo the length of the smaller type.
double
8 bytes IEEE 754. Covers a range from 4.94065645841246544e-324d to
1.79769313486231570e+308d (positive or negative).
char
2 bytes, unsigned, Unicode, 0 to 65,535
Variables
instance Variables (Non-Static Fields) Technically speaking, objects store their individual
states in "non-static fields", that is, fields declared without the static keyword. Non-static fields
are also known as instance variables because their values are unique to each instance of a class
(to each object, in other words); the currentSpeed of one bicycle is independent from the
currentSpeed of another.
Class Variables (Static Fields) a class variable is any field declared with the static modifier;
this tells the compiler that there is exactly one copy of this variable in existence; regardless of
how many times the class has been instantiated. A field defining the number of gears for a
particular kind of bicycle could be marked as static since conceptually the same number of gears
will apply to all instances. The code static int numGears = 6; would create such a static field.
Additionally, the keyword final could be added to indicate that the number of gears will never
change.
Local Variables Similar to how an object stores its state in fields, a method will often store its
temporary state in local variables. The syntax for declaring a local variable is similar to
declaring a field (for example, int count = 0;). There is no special keyword designating a variable
as local; that determination comes entirely from the location in which the variable is declared —
which is between the opening and closing braces of a method. As such, local variables are only
visible to the methods in which they are declared; they are not accessible from the rest of the
class.
Constants in java
Even though Java does not have a constant type, you can achieve the same effect by declaring
and initializing variables that are static, public, and final. After the variables have been
initialized, their value cannot be changed. You can then access the constant value using the name
of the variable joined to the name of its class with a period.
class Constants02{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("pi = " + Constants.pi);
System.out.println("e = " + Constants.e);
}//end main
}//end class Constants02
//=======================================================//
class Constants{
public static final double pi = 3.14159;
public static final double e = 2.71828;
}//end class Constants

*Classes and object
With the knowledge you now have of the basics of the Java programming language, you can
learn to write your own classes. In this lesson, you will find information about defining your own
classes, including declaring member variables, methods, and constructors.
You will learn to use your classes to create objects, and how to use the objects you create.
This lesson also covers nesting classes within other classes, enumerations, and annotations.
Classes
This section shows you the anatomy of a class, and how to declare fields, methods, and
constructors.
Objects
This section covers creating and using objects. You will learn how to instantiate an object, and,
once instantiated, how to use the dot operator to access the object's instance variables and
methods.
More on Classes
This section covers more aspects of classes that depend on using object references and the dot
operator that you learned about in the preceding section: returning values from methods, the this
keyword, class vs. instance members, and access control.
Nested Classes
Static nested classes, inner classes, anonymous inner classes, and local classes are covered.
Constructors
When you create a new instance (a new object) of a class using the new keyword, a constructor
for that class is called. Constructors are used to initialize the instance variables (fields) of an
object. Constructors are similar to methods, but with some important differences.
• Constructor name is class name. A constructors must have the same name as the class
its in.
• Default constructor. If you don't define a constructor for a class, a default parameter
less constructor is automatically created by the compiler. The default constructor calls
the default parent constructor (super()) and initializes all instance variables to default
value (zero for numeric types, null for object references, and false for Booleans).
• Default constructor is created only if there are no constructors. If you define any
constructor for your class, no default constructor is automatically created.
• Differences between methods and constructors.
o There is no return type given in a constructor signature (header). The value is this
object itself so there is no need to indicate a return value.
o There is no return statement in the body of the constructor.
o The first line of a constructor must either be a call on another constructor in the
same class (using this), or a call on the superclass constructor (using super). If the
first line is neither of these, the compiler automatically inserts a call to the
parameter less super class constructor.
These differences in syntax between a constructor and method are sometimes hard to see
when looking at the source. It would have been better to have had a keyword to clearly
mark constructors as some languages do.
• This (...) - Calls another constructor in same class. Often a constructor with few
parameters will call a constructor with more parameters, giving default values for the
missing parameters. Use this to call other constructors in the same class.
• Super (...). Use super to call a constructor in a parent class. Calling the constructor for
the super class must be the first statement in the body of a constructor. If you are satisfied
with the default constructor in the super class, there is no need to make a call to it
because it will be supplied automatically.
Garbage collection
Since objects are dynamically allocated by using the new operator, you might be
wondering how such objects are destroyed and their memory released for later reallocation.
In some languages, such as C++, dynamically allocated objects must be manually released
by use of a delete operator.
Java takes a different approach; it handles deallocation for you automatically. The
technique that accomplishes this is called garbage collection. It works like this: when no
references to an object to an object exist, that object is assumed to be no longer needed, and
the memory occupied by the object can be reclaimed. There is no explicit need to destroy
objects as in C++. Garbage collection only occurs sporadically (if at all) during the
execution of your program. It will not occur simply because one or more objects exist that
are no longer used. Furthermore, different java run-time implementations will take varying
approaches to garbage collection, but for the most part, you should not have to think about it
while writing your programs
The finalize () Method

Sometimes an object will need to perform some action when it is destroyed. For
example, if an object is holding some non-java resource such as a file handle or window
character font, then you might want to make sure these resources are freed before an object
is destroyed. To handle such situations, java provides a mechanism called finalization. By
using finalization, you can define specific actions that will occur when an object is just
about to be reclaimed by the garbage collector.
To add a finalizer to a class, you simply define the finalize() method. The
java run time calls that method whenever it is about to recycle an object of that class. Inside
the finalize() method you will specify those actions that must be performed before an object
is destroyed. The garbage collector runs periodically, checking for objects that are no longer
referenced by any running state or indirectly through other referenced objects. Right before
an asset is freed, the java run time calls the finalize() method on the object.
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.
It is important to understand that finalize() is only called just prior to garbage

collection. It is not called when an object goes out-of-scope, for example. This means
program should provide other means of releasing system resources, etc., used by the object.
It must not rely on finalize() for normal program operation.
class demo
{
int id;
demo(int i)
{
id=i;
}
public static void main(String ar[])
{
System.runFinalizersOnExit(true);
demo d=null;
for(int i=1;i<5;i++)
d=new demo(i);
}
public void finalize()throws Throwable
{
System.out.println("finalizr"+id);
super.finalize();
}
}
Class sample1
Public static void main (String ar[])
System.out.println (“welcome to java”);
Session 2:
1. Static:- Static method

When member is declare static it can be access before object of its class
are created and without reference to any object. Static method can only access
static method static initialization block for setting a static field of class. Execution
of static block is done once before java executes any other method of that class is
called.
class aa
static int a=1;
static int b;
static void show(int x)
System.out.println("x="+x);
System.out.println("x="+b);
System.out.println("x="+a);
static
System.out.println("static block");
b=a*4;
aa a1=new aa();
a1.show(20);
}
}
Java compilar
To commence with Java programming, we must know the significance of Java Compiler.
When we write any program in a text editor like Notepad, we use Java compiler to compile it. A
Java Compiler javac is a programmer set of programs which translates java source
code intojava byte code.
The output from a Java compiler comes in the form of Java class files (with .class
extension). The code contained in files end with the .java extension. The file name must be the
same as the class name, asclassname.java. When the javac compiles the source file defined in
a .java files, it generates bytecode for the java source file and saves in a class file with a .class
extension.
The most commonly used Java compiler is javac, included in JDK from Sun Microsystems.
Following figure shows the working of the Java compiler:
Once the byte code is generated it can be run on any platform using Java Interpreter (JVM). It
interprets byte code (.class file) and converts into machine specific binary code. Then JVM
runs the binary code on the host machine.
Java debugger
Java Debugger
Java debugger helps in finding and the fixing of bugs in Java language programs. The Java
debugger is denoted as jdb. It works like a command-line debugger for Java classes.
jdb session
The way to start the jdb session is to have jdb launch a newJVM (Java virtual machine) with
the main class. Then the application of the main class is debugged by substituting the
command jdb in command-line. For instance, if the main class of the application is
TempClass, the following command is used to debug it:
jdb TempClass
There is another way to use jdb i.e.to attach jdb to Java VM which is already running.
There are few options which are used to debug a VM with jdb. These are:
option purpose
-Xdebug Enables debugging in the VM
Loads in-process debugging libraries

-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n and specifies the kind of connection to
be made
The following command will run the TempClass application to which the jdb will connect
afterwords.
% java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n
TempClass
Now the jdb will be attached to the VM in this way: % jdb -attach 8000
You can go through the basic jdb commands that the Java debugger supports.
cont
Ihis command Continues the execution of the debugged application after a breakpoint,
exception, or step.
run
Use run command to start the execution after starting jdb, and setting any necessary
breakpoints, use run command to start the execution . When jdb launches the debugged
application then only this command is available.
print
This command is used to display Java objects and primitive values. The actual value is printed
for the variables or fields of primitive types. For objects, a short description is printed.
Difference between application and applet
In simple terms, an applet runs under the control of a browser, whereas an application runs stand-
alone, with the support of a virtual machine. As such, an applet is subjected to more stringent
security restrictions in terms of file and network access, whereas an application can have free
reign over these resources.
Applets are great for creating dynamic and interactive web applications, but the true power of
Java lies in writing full blown applications. With the limitation of disk and network access, it
would be difficult to write commercial applications (though through the user of server based file
systems, not impossible). However, a Java application has full network and local file system
access, and its potential is limited only by the creativity of its developers.
Abstract class:-
Any class that contains one or more abstract methods must also be declared abstract. To
declare a class abstract, you simply use the abstract keyword in front of the class keyword at
the beginning of the class declaration. There can be no objects of an abstract class. That is, an
abstract class cannot be directly instantiated with the new operator. Such objects would be
useless, because an abstract class is not fully defined. Also, you cannot declare abstract
constructors, or abstract static methods. Any subclass of an abstract class must either
implement all of the abstract methods in the super class, or be itself declared abstract.
Here is a simple example of a class with an abstract method, followed by a class which
implements that method:
abstract class bb
void show()
{}
class nn extends bb
void show()
System.out.println("this is n1 class");
class n1
{
bb b=new nn();
b.show();
Inner class:-
It is possible to nest a class definition within another class & treat the nested class
has privilege to access all the members of the member of the class enclosing it. A nested class
can either be static or nonstatic a static nested class is one which has static modifier applied.
Non static nested class called as inner class.
//inner class
class outclass
static int a=1;
sstatic class inclass
static int b=a+1;
int c=3;
class ioclass
{
System.out.println("a="+outclass.a);
System.out.println("a="+outclass.inclass.b);
inclass io=new inclass();
System.out.println("a="+io.b);
Wrapper class
The java programmers does not look at primitive data types as object for example
numerical, Boolean and character data are treated in the primitive form for sake of
officiency.The java programming language provides wrapper class to manipulate primitive data
elements are wrapped in object created around them Each java primitive data type has a
corresponding wrapper class object encapsulates a single primitive value.
These wrapper classes implement immutable objects.That means that after the primitive
value is initialized in the wrapper object then there is no way to change that value.
Wrapper class
Primitive data type wrapper class
Boolan Bolean
Byte byte
Char char
Short short
Int int
Long long
Float float
Double double
You can construct a wrapper class object by passing the value to wrapped into the
appropriate constructors.
Int pint=420
Integer wint=new integer(pint); //boxing
In p2=wint.intvalue)//unboxing
Wrapper classes are useful when convertry primitive data type because of many wrapper class
methods available
Int x=integer.valu(str).intvalue();
Or
Int x=integer.parseint(str);
Unboxing primitive type :
If you have to chang the primitive data type to their object equivalents called boxing the
you need to use wrapper classes also to get the primitive data type from the object reference data
type from the object reference called unboxing you need to use wrapper class methods. All of the
boxing and unboxing can clutter up
Session 3:
Interface:-
Interfaces form a contract between the class and the outside world the methods that they
expose. Methods form the object's interface with the outside world; the buttons on the front of
your television set, for example, are the interface between you and the electrical wiring on the
other side of its plastic casing. You press the "power" button to turn the television on and off. an
interface is a group of related methods with empty bodies. Interfaces form a contract between the
class and the outside world.
Interface Bicycle
{
void changeCadence(int newValue);
void changeGear(int newValue);
void speedUp(int increment);
void applyBrakes(int decrement);
Package:-
A package is a namespace that organizes a set of related classes and interfaces. Conceptually
you can think of packages as being similar to different folders on your computer. You might
keep HTML pages in one folder, images in another, and scripts or applications in yet another.
Because software written in the Java programming language can be composed of hundreds or
thousands of individual classes, it makes sense to keep things organized by placing related
classes and interfaces into packages.
The Java platform provides an enormous class library (a set of packages) suitable for use in your
own applications. This library is known as the "Application Programming Interface” or “API for
short. Its packages represent the tasks most commonly associated with general-purpose
programming. For example, a String object contains state and behavior for character strings; a
File object allows a programmer to easily create, delete, inspect, compare, or modify a file on the
file system; a Socket object allows for the creation and use of network sockets; various GUI
objects control buttons and checkboxes and anything else related to graphical user interfaces.
There are literally thousands of classes to choose from. This allows you, the programmer, to
focus on the design of your particular application, rather than the infrastructure required to make
it work.
Exception Handling
Basics of exception handling error and abnormal condition arising while executing a program
need to be java handle usually code snippets are written such situation. Java occurs various
classes to handle exception thus making its program robust.
*The class Hierarchy:-
The object class has a sub class called throw able to handle exceptions and error. The throw able
class ha two sub classes.
1. Exception
2.Error:-
Error conditions are normally not trapped by java programs error condition occurring in case of
drastic failure (virtual machine error) which cannot be handle by a program these are generated
to indicate errors generated by run time environment.
The main sub class of exception class is the runtime exception class. An exception is an
abnormal condition which occurs during the execution of program exceptions are is event like
division by zero. Opening of file that does not exist etc. run time exception class generate error
that occurs during the exception of program runtime exception is defined by default for all
program.
Try catch:-
Whenever there is possibility of exception being generated in a program. It is better to handle

explicitly. This can be done by using try and catch are it fixes the error and prevent the program.
The code sequence which is to be granted should be placed inside the try block. The catch clause
should immediately follow the try block.The catch clause can have statement explaining the
cause of exception generated the scope of each catch is restricted to a try block.
• Comman exception:-
• ArithmeticException--thrown if a program attempts to perform division by zero

• ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException--thrown if a program attempts to access an index of an
array that does not exist
• StringIndexOutOfBoundsException--thrown if a program attempts to access a character at a
non-existent index in a String
• NullPointerException--thrown if the JVM attempts to perform an operation on an Object that
points to no data, or null
• NumberFormatException--thrown if a program is attempting to convert a string to a
numerical datatype, and the string contains inappropriate characters (i.e. 'z' or 'Q')
• ClassNotFoundException--thrown if a program cannot find a class it depends at runtime (i.e.,
the class's ".class" file cannot be found or was removed from the CLASSPATH)
• IOException--actually contained in java.io, but it is thrown if the JVM failed to open an I/O
stream
The catch statement also stores an instance of the exception that was caught in the variable that
the programmer uses, in the previous example Exception e. While all exceptions are subclasses
of Exception, Exception itself is a subclass of Throwable, which contains a nice suite of methods
that you can use to get all kinds of information to report about your exceptions:
• getMessage()--returns the error message reported by the exception in a String

• printStackTrace()--prints the stack trace of the exception to standard output, useful for
debugging purposes in locating where the exception occurred
• printStackTrace(PrintStream s)--prints the stack trace to an alternative output stream
• printStackTrace(PrintWriter s)--prints the stack trace to a file, this way you can log stack
traces transparent to the user or log for later reference
• toString()--if you just decide to print out the exception it will print out this:
NAME_OF_EXCEPTION: getMessage().

Package java.lang Description
Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language. The most
important classes are Object, which is the root of the class hierarchy, and Class, instances of
which represent classes at run time.
Frequently it is necessary to represent a value of primitive type as if it were an object. The

wrapper classes Boolean, Character, Integer, Long, Float, and Double serve this purpose. An
object of type Double, for example, contains a field whose type is double, representing that value
in such a way that a reference to it can be stored in a variable of reference type. These classes
also provide a number of methods for converting among primitive values, as well as supporting
such standard methods as equals and hashCode. The Void class is a non-instantiable class that
holds a reference to a Class object represening the primitive type void.
The class Math provides commonly used mathematical functions such as sine, cosine, and square
root. The classes String and StringBuffer similarly provide commonly used operations on
character strings.
Classes ClassLoader, Process, Runtime, SecurityManager, and System provide "system

operations" that manage the dynamic loading of classes, creation of external processes, host
environment inquiries such as the time of day, and enforcement of security policies.
Class Throwable encompasses objects that may be thrown by the throw statement (§14.16).
Subclasses of Throwable represent errors and exceptions.
Package java.util

facilities, internationalization, and miscellaneous utility classes (a string tokenizer, a random-
number generator, and a bit array).

The String Class:-
• String is the name of a predefined class.

actual name is java.lang.String
The String class is a little special
support for literals, like "Hello Class"
support for operators:
+ concatenation
+= assignment and concatenation, as in
s += " Append to end of s";he String class
A String object can:

tell you it's length
tell you if it contains a substring (and where).
tell you if it matches a regular expression.
tell you what is at any position
create a copy that is all lowercase or uppercase
compare itself to another String
If you are reading this outside of class, please

proceed to the Java API docs for the class
java.lang.String
● memorize all the methods and constructors, there
may be a test on this...
A String object is immutable

you can't change it at all. Really!
This sounds silly, but there are good reasons for this
and it's not really a hassle.
● Using == to compare String objects is rarely what
you want
only true if they are the same object
we usually want to know if two strings hold the same
sequence of characters. Use String.equals()
You can initialize a String with a literal:
String s = "Hello There";

This is basically the same as:
String s = new String("Hello There");
● You can call methods on a literal!
int len = "Hello".length();
if ("Fred".equals(s))
System.out.printf("Fred it is\n");
*Converting Strings to primitive types

int x = Integer.parseInt("12");
double d = Double.parseDouble("3.141593");
boolean b = Boolean.parseBoolean("false");
String s = new String();

for (int i=0;i<10;i++) {
s = s + i;
} System.out.println(s);
We want a class named Square that has a size.

● We want to be able to print a Square object
it should report its size, that's all.

we need to write a toString() method.
● We want to be able to tell the Square to draw
itself.
we will just have it print characters out using
System.out.print().
class Square
{
int size;
Square(int x)
{
size = x;
public String toString()

{
return("Square of size " + size);
}
public void Draw()
{
for (int i=0;i<size;i++)
{
for (int j=0;j<size;j++)
{
System.out.print("*");
}
System.out.println();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {

Square s = new Square(Integer.parseInt(args[0]));
System.out.println(s);
s.Draw();
Array:-
Array: Array is the most important thing in any programming language. By definition, array is
the static memory allocation. It allocates the memory for the same data type in sequence. It
contains multiple values of same types. It also store the values in memory at the fixed size.
Multiple types of arrays are used in any programming language such as: one - dimensional, two -
dimensional or can say multi - dimensional.
Declaration of an array:
int num[]; or int num = new int[2];
Some times user declares an array and it's size simultaneously. You may or may not be define the
size in the declaration time. such as:
int num[] = {50,20,45,82,25,63};
In this program we will see how to declare and implementation. This program illustrates that the
array working way. This program takes the numbers present in the num[] array in unordered list
and prints numbers in ascending order. In this program the sort() function of the java.util.*;
package is using to sort all the numbers present in the num[] array. The Arrays.sort()
automatically sorts the list of number in ascending order by default. This function held the
argument which is the array name num.
import java.util.*;
public class array{

int num[] = {50,20,45,82,25,63};
int l = num.length;
int i,j,t;
System.out.print("Given number : ");
for (i = 0;i < l;i++ ){
System.out.print(" " + num[i]);
}
System.out.println("\n");
System.out.print("Accending order number : ");
Arrays.sort(num);
for(i = 0;i < l;i++){
System.out.print(" " + num[i]);
}
}
}
Vector
Vectors (the java.util.Vector class) are commonly used instead of arrays, because they expand
automatically when new data is added to them. The Java 2 Collections API introduced the
similar ArrayList data structure. ArrayLists are unsynchronized and therefore faster than
Vectors, but less secure in a multithreaded environment. The Vector class was changed in Java 2
to add the additional methods supported by ArrayList. See below for a reasons to use each. The
description below is for the (new) Vector class.
Vectors can hold only Objects and not primitive types (eg, int). If you want to put a primitive
type in a Vector, put it inside an object (eg, to save an integer value use the Integer class or
define your own class). If you use the Integer wrapper, you will not be able to change the integer
value, so it is sometimes useful to define your own class.
To Create a Vector
You must import either import java.util.Vector; or import java.util.*;. Vectors are implemented
with an array, and when that array is full and an additional element is added, a new array must be
allocated. Because it takes time to create a bigger array and copy the elements from the old array
to the new array, it is a little faster to create a Vector with a size that it will commonly be when
full. Of course, if you knew the final size, you could simply use an array. However, for non-
critical sections of code programmers typically don't specify an initial size.
• Create a Vector with default initial size

Vector v = new Vector();
• Create a Vector with an initial size
Vector v = new Vector(300);
Common Vector Methods
There are many useful methods in the Vector class and its parent classes. Here are some of the
most useful. v is a Vector, i is an int index, o is an Object.
Method Description
v.add(o) adds Object o to Vector v
v.add(i, o) Inserts Object o at index i, shifting elements up as necessary.
v.clear() removes all elements from Vector v
v.contains(o) Returns true if Vector v contains Object o
v.firstElement(i) Returns the first element.
v.get(i) Returns the object at int index i.
v.lastElement(i) Returns the last element.
v.listIterator() Returns a ListIterator that can be used to go over the Vector. This is a useful
alternative to the for loop.
v.remove(i) Removes the element at position i, and shifts all following elements down.
v.set(i,o) Sets the element at index i to o.
v.size() Returns the number of elements in Vector v.
The array parameter can be any Object subclass (eg, String). This returns the
vector values in that array (or a larger array if necessary). This is useful when
v.toArray(Object[])
you need the generality of a Vector for input, but need the speed of arrays
when processing the data.
Old and New Vector Methods
When the new Collections API was introduced in Java 2 to provide uniform data structure
classes, the Vector class was updated to implement the List interface. Use the List methods
because they are common to other data structure. If you later decide to use something other than
a Vector (eg, ArrayList, or LinkedList, your other code will not need to change.
Even up thru the first several versions of Java 2 (SDK 1.4), the language had not entirely
changed to use the new Collections methods. For example, the DefaultListModel still uses the
old methods, so if you are using a JList, you will need to use the old method names. There are
hints that they plan to change this, but still and interesting omission.
Replacements for old methods
The following methods have been changed from the old to the new Vector API.
Old Method New Method
void addElement(Object) boolean add(Object)
void copyInto(Object[]) Object[] toArray()
Object elementAt(int) Object get(int)
Iterator iterator()
Enumeration elements()
ListIterator listIterator()
void insertElementAt(Object, int) void add(index, Object)
void removeAllElements() void clear()

boolean removeElement(Object) boolean remove(Object)
void removeElementAt(int) void remove(int)
void setElementAt(int) Object set(int, Object)
Sample program:-
import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.Collections;
public class maximum vector element

{
public static void main(String[] args)

{
//create a Vector object

Vector v = new Vector();
//Add elements to Vector

v.add(new int("500"));
Object obm = Collections.max(v);
System.out.println("Maximum Element of Java Vector is : " + obm);

}
}
Stack:-
A Stack is like a bucket in which you can put elements one-by-one in sequence and retrieve
elements from the bucket according to the sequence of the last entered element. Stack is a
collection of data and follows the LIFO (Last in, first out) rule that mean you can insert the
elements one-by-one in sequence and the last inserted element can be retrieved at once from
the bucket. Elements are inserted and retrieved to/from the stack through the push() and pop()
method.
This program implements a stack and follows the LIFO rule. It asks you for the number of
elements which have to be entered in the stack and then it takes elements for insertion in the
stack. All the elements present in the stack are shown from the last inserted element to the first
inserted element.
Stack<Integer>():
Above constructor of the Stack class creates a empty stack which holds the integer type value
which is mention with the creation of stack. The Stack class extends the Vector class and both
classes are implemented from the java.util.*; package.
Stack.push(Object obj):
Above method is used to insert or push the data or element in the stack. It takes an object like:
data or elements and push its onto the top of the stack.
Stack.pop():
This is the method to removes the objects like: data or elements at the top positions of stack.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class StackImplement{

Stack<Integer> stack;
String str;
int num, n;
StackImplement q = new StackImplement();
}
public StackImplement(){
try{
stack = new Stack<Integer>();
InputStreamReader ir = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(ir);
System.out.print("Enter number of elements : ");
str = bf.readLine();
num = Integer.parseInt(str);
for(int i = 1; i <= num; i++){
System.out.print("Enter elements : ");
str = bf.readLine();
n = Integer.parseInt(str);
stack.push(n);
}
}
catch(IOException e){}
System.out.print("Retrieved elements from the stack : ");
while (!stack.empty()){
System.out.print(stack.pop()+" ");
}
}
}
HashTable:-
*Hash Table holds the records according to the unique key value. It stores the non-contiguous
key for several values. Hash Table is created using an algorithm (hashing function) to store the
key and value regarding to the key in the hash bucket. If you want to store the value for the
new key and if that key is already exists in the hash bucket then the situation known as
collision occurs which is the problem in the hash table i.e. maintained by the hashing function.
The drawback is that hash tables require a little bit more memory, and that you can not use the
normal list procedures for working with them.
This program simply asks you for the number of entries which have to entered into the hash
table and takes one-by-one key and it's value as input. It shows all the elements with the
separate key.
Code Description:
Hashtable<Integer, String> hashTable = new Hashtable<Integer, String>():
Above code creates the instance of the Hashtable class. This code is using the type checking
of the elements which will be held by the hash table.
hashTable.put(key, in.readLine()):
Above method puts the values in the hash table regarding to the unique key. This method takes
two arguments in which, one is the key and another one is the value for the separate key.
Map<Integer, String> map = new TreeMap<Integer, String>(hashTable):
Above code creates an instance of the TreeMap for the hash table which name is passed
through the constructor of the TreeMap class. This code creates the Map with the help of the
instance of the TreeMap class. This map has been created in the program for showing several
values and it's separate key present in the hash table. This code has used the type checking.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class HashTable{

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
int key;
try{
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.print("How many elements you want to enter to the hash
table : ");
int n = Integer.parseInt(in.readLine());
Hashtable<Integer, String> hashTable = new Hashtable<Integer,
String>();
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
System.out.print("Enter key for the hash table : ");
key = Integer.parseInt(in.readLine());
System.out.print("Enter value for the key : ");
hashTable.put(key, in.readLine());
}
Map<Integer, String> map = new TreeMap<Integer, String>(hashTable);
System.out.println(map);
}
catch(NumberFormatException ne){
System.out.println(ne.getMessage() + " is not a legal value.");
System.out.println("Please enter a numeric value.");
System.exit(1);
}
}
}
*Program to get class directory

{
public static void main(String args[]) {
URL url=new Object().getClass().getResource("Object.class");
System.out.println(url);
}
*Properties:-
import java.util.*;
public class GetPropertyByName {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Properties properties = System.getProperties();

Set set = properties.stringPropertyNames();
Iterator iterator = set.iterator();
String key;
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
key = iterator.next().toString();
System.out.print(key + " : ");

System.out.println(properties.getProperty(key));
}
}
}
*Multithreaded programming in Java:-
Multithreading allows two parts of the same program to run concurrently. Multitasking is
performing two or more tasks at the same time. Nearly all operating systems are capable of
multitasking by u Process-based multitasking is running two programs concurrently.
Programmers refer to a program as a process. Therefore, you could say that process-based
multitasking is program-based multitasking. Thread-based multitasking is having a program
perform two tasks at the same time. For example, a word processing program can check the
spelling of words in a document while you write the document. This is thread-based
multitasking. A good way to remember the difference between process-based multitasking
and thread-based multitasking is to think of process-based as working with multiple
programs and thread-based as working with parts of one program. The objective of
multitasking is to utilize the idle time of the CPU. Think of the CPU as the engine of your car.
Your engine keeps running regardless of whether the car is moving. Your objective is to keep
your car moving as much as possible so you can get the most miles from a gallon of gas. An
idling engine wastes gas. The same concept applies to the CPU in your computer. You want your
CPU cycles to be processing instructions and data rather than waiting for something to process.
A CPU cycle is somewhat similar to your engine running. It may be hard to believe, but the CPU
idles more than it processes in many desktop computers. Let’s say that you are using a word
processor to write a document. For the most part, the CPU is idle until you enter a character from
the keyboard or move the mouse. Multitasking is designed to use the fraction of a second
between strokes to process instructions from either another program or from a different part of
the same programming one of two multitasking techniques: process-based multitasking and
thread-based multitasking.
Thread:-
You construct threads by using the Thread class and the Runnable interface. This means that
your class must extend the Thread class or implement the Runnable interface. The Thread class
defines the methods you use to manage threads.
Method Description
getName() Returns the name of the thread.
getPriority() Returns the priority of the thread.
isAlive() Determines whether the thread is running.

join() Pauses until the thread terminates.
run() The entry point into the thread.
sleep() Suspends a thread. This method enables you to specify the period
Suspend() the thread is suspended.
start() Starts the thread.
The Main Thread
Every Java program has one thread, even if you don’t create any threads. This thread is called the
main thread because it is the thread that executes when you start your program. The main thread
spawns threads that you create. These are called child threads. The main thread is always the last
thread to finish executing because typically the main thread needs to release a resource used by
the program such as network connections.
Programmers can control the main thread by first creating a Thread object and then using method
members of the Thread object to control the main thread. You create a Thread object by calling
the currentThread() method. The currentThread() method returns a reference to the thread. You
then use this reference to control the main thread just like you control any thread, which you’ll
learn how to do in this chapter.
Let’s create a reference to the main thread and then change the name of the thread from main to
Demo Thread. The following program shows how this is done. Here’s what is displayed on the
screen when the program runs:
Current thread: Thread[main, 5,main]

Renamed Thread: Thread[Demo Thread, 5,main]
class Demo
{
Public static void main (String args[] )
{
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
System.out.println("Current thread: " + t);
t.setName("Demo Thread");
System.out.println("Renamed Thread: " + t);
}
}
As you previously learned in this chapter, a thread is automatically created when you execute a
program. The objective of this example is to declare a reference to a thread and then assign that
reference a reference to the main thread. This is done in the first statement of the main () method.
We declare the reference by specifying the name of the class and the name for the reference,
which is done in the following line of code:
Thread t
We acquire a reference to the main thread by calling the currentThread() method member of the
Thread class using the following method call:
Thread.currentThread()
The reference returned by the currentThread() method is then assigned to the reference
previously declared in the opening statement. We then display the thread on the screen:
Thread[main, 5,main]
Information within the square brackets tells us something about the thread. The first appearance
of the word main is the name of the thread. The number 5 is the thread’s priority, which is
normal priority. The priority ranges from 1 to 10, where 1 is the lowest priority and 10 is the
highest. The last occurrence of the word main is the name of the group of threads with which the
thread belongs. A thread group is a data structure used to control the state of a collection of
threads. You don’t need to be concerned about a thread group because the Java run-time
environment handles this.
The setName() method is then called to illustrate how you have control over the main thread of
your program. The setName() method is a method member of the Thread class and is used to
change the name of a thread. This example uses the setName() method to change the main
thread’s name from main to Demo Thread. The thread is once again displayed on the screen to

Renamed Thread: Thread[Demo Thread, 5,main]
Remember, your program is the main thread, and other portions of your program can also be a
thread. You can designate a portion of your program as a thread by creating your own thread.
The easiest way to do this is to implement the Runnable interface. Implementing the Runnable
interface is an alternative to your class inheriting the Thread class.
An interface describes one or more method members that you must define in your own class in
order to be compliant with the interface. These methods are described by their method name,
argument list, and return value.
The Runnable interface describes the method classes needed to create and interact with a thread.
In order to use the Runnable interface in your class, you must define the methods described by
the Runnable interface.
Fortunately, only you need to define one method described by the Runnable interface—the run()
method. The run() method must be a public method, and it doesn’t require an argument list or
have a return value.
The content of the run() method is the portion of your program that will become the new thread.
Statements outside the run() method are part of the main thread. Statements inside the run()
method are part of the new thread. Both the main thread and the new thread run concurrently
when you start the new thread, which you’ll learn how to do in the next example. The new thread
terminates when the run() method terminates. Control then returns to the statement that called the
run() method.
When you implement the Runnable interface, you’ll need to call the following constructor of the
Thread class. This constructor requires two arguments. The first argument is the instance of the
class that implements the Runnable interface and tells the constructor where the new thread will
be executed. The second argument is the name of the new thread. Here’s the format of the
constructor:
Thread (Runnable class, String name)
The constructor creates the new thread, but it does not start the thread. You explicitly start the
new thread by calling the start()method. The start() method calls the run() method you defined in
your program. The start() method has no argument list and does not return any values.
The following example illustrates how to create and start a new thread. Here’s what is displayed
when this program runs:
Main thread started

Child thread started
Child thread terminated
Main thread terminated
class MyThread implements Runnable{

Thread t;
MyThread () {
t = new Thread(this, “My thread");
t.start();
}
public void run() {
System.out.println("Child thread started");
System.out.println("Child thread terminated");
}
}
class Demo {
public static void main (String args[]){
new MyThread();
System.out.println("Main thread started");
System.out.println("Main thread terminated");
}
}
This example begins by defining a class called MyThread, which implements the Runnable
interface. Therefore, we use the keyword implements to implement the Runnable interface. Next,
a reference to a thread is declared. Defining the constructor for the class follows this. The
constructor calls the constructor of the Thread class. Because we are implementing the Runnable
interface, we need to pass the constructor reference to the instance of the class that will execute
the new thread and the name of the new thread. Notice that we use the keyword this as reference
to the instance of the class. The keyword this is a reference to the current instance of the class.
The constructor returns a reference to the new thread, which is assigned to the reference declared
in the first statement in the MyThread class definition. We use this reference to call the start()
method. Remember that the start() method calls the run() method.
Next,we define the run() method. Statements within the run() method become the portion of the
program that executes when the thread executes. There are only two displayed statements in the
run() method. Later in this chapter, we’ll expand the run() method to include more interesting
statements.
Next, we define the program class. The program class explicitly executes the new thread by
creating an instance of the MyThread class. This is done by using the new operator and calling
the constructor of MyThread.
Using isAlive() and join()
(Page 6 of 10 )
Typically, the main thread is the last thread to finish in a program. However, there isn’t any
guarantee that the main thread won’t finish before a child thread finishes. In the previous
example, we told the main method to sleep until the child threads terminate. However, we
estimated the time it takes for the child threads to complete processing. If our estimate was too
short, a child thread could terminate after the main thread terminates. Therefore, the sleep
technique isn’t the best one to use to guarantee that the main thread terminates last.
Programmers use two other techniques to ensure that the main thread is the last thread to
terminate. These techniques involve calling the isAlive() method and the join() method. Both of
these methods are defined in the Thread class.
The isAlive() method determines whether a thread is still running. If it is, the isAlive() method
returns a Boolean true value; otherwise, a Boolean false is returned. You can use the isAlive()
method to examine whether a child thread continues to run. The join() method works differently
than the isAlive() method. The join() method waits until the child thread terminates and “joins”
the main thread. In addition, you can use the join() method to specify the amount of time you
want to wait for a child thread to terminate.
The following example illustrates how to use the isAlive() method and the join() method in your
program. This example is nearly the same as the previous example. The difference lies in the
main() method of the Demo class definition.
After the threads are declared using the constructor of the MyThread class, the isAlive() method
is called for each thread. The value returned by the isAlive() method is then displayed on the
screen. Next, the join() method is called for each thread. The join() method causes the main
thread to wait for all child threads to complete processing before the main thread terminates.
Here is what is displayed on the screen when this program runs:
Thread Status: Alive

try {
System.out.println("Thread: " + tName );
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e ) {
System.out.println("Exception: Thread "
+ tName + " interrupted");
}
System.out.println("Terminating thread: " + tName );
}
}
class Demo {
public static void main (String args []) {
MyThread thread1 = new MyThread ("1");
System.out.println("Thread Status: Alive");
System.out.println("Thread 1: "
+ thread1.t.isAlive());
try {
System.out.println("Threads Joining.");
thread1.t.join();

} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(
"Exception: Thread main interrupted.");
}
System.out.println("Thread Status: Alive");
System.out.println(
"Terminating thread: main thread.");
}
}
Setting Thread Priorities
thread has an assigned priority that is used to let more important threads use resources ahead of
lower-priority resources. Priority is used as a guide for the operating system to determine which
thread gets accesses to a resource such as the CPU. In reality, an operating system takes other
factors into consideration. Typically, programmers have little or no control over those other
factors. Therefore, they establish a priority for their threads without further concern over those
other factors.
A priority is an integer from 1 to 10 inclusive, where 10 is the highest priority, referred to as the
maximum priority, and 1 is the lowest priority, also known as the minimum priority. The normal
priority is 5, which is the default priority for each thread.
In general, a thread with a higher priority bumps a thread with a lower priority from using a
resource. The lower-priority thread pauses until the higher-priority thread is finished using the
resource. Whenever two threads of equal priority need the same resource, the thread that
accesses the resource first has use of the resource. What happens to the second thread depends on
the operating system under which your program is running. Some operating systems force the
second thread to wait until the first thread is finished with the resource. Other operating systems
require the first thread to give the second thread access to the resource after a specified time
period. This is to ensure that one thread doesn’t hog a resource and prevent other threads from
utilizing it.
In the real world, the first thread usually pauses while using the resource because another
resource it needs isn’t available. It is during this pause that the operating system has the first
thread relinquish the resource. The problem is, you don’t know if and when the pause will occur.
It is best to always cause a thread to pause periodically whenever the thread is using a resource
for a long period time. In this way, the thread shares the resource with other threads. You learn
how to pause a thread in the “Suspending and Resuming a Thread” section of this chapter.
You need to keep in mind that there is a downside to periodically pausing a thread. Pausing a
thread diminishes the performance of your program and could cause a backlog for use of the
resource. Therefore, you need to monitor the performance of your program regularly to make
sure you are not experiencing this negative aspect of pausing a thread.
For now let’s focus on something you do have control over—setting the priority of a thread. You
set a thread’s priority by calling the setPriority() method, which is defined in the Thread class.
The setPriority() method requires one parameter, which is the integer representing the level of
priority. You have two ways in which to represent the priority. You can use an integer from 1 to
10, or you can use final variables defined in the Thread class. These variables are
MIN_PRIORITY, MAX_PRIOIRTY, and NORM_PRIOIRTY.
You can determine the priority level of a thread by calling the getPriority() method, which is also
defined in the Thread class. The getPriority() method does not requires an argument, and it
returns the integer representing the level of priority for the thread.
The following example illustrates how to use the setPriority() and getPriority() methods. This
example creates two child threads and sets the priority for each. First, the low-priority thread
starts, followed by the high-priority thread. Here’s what is displayed when you run this program
(notice that the high-priority thread runs ahead of the low-priority thread, even though the low-
priority thread started first):
low priority started

high priority started
high priority running.
low priority running.
low priority stopped.
high priority stopped.

Thread t;
private volatile boolean running = true;
public MyThread (int p, String tName) {
t = new Thread(this,tName);
t.setPriority (p);
}
public void run() {
System.out.println(t.getName() + " running.");
}
public void stop() {
running = false;
System.out.println(t.getName() + " stopped.");
}
public void start() {
System.out.println(t.getName() + " started");
t.start();
}
}
class Demo {
public static void main(String args[] ) {
Thread.currentThread().setPriority(10);
MyThread lowPriority =
new MyThread (3, "low priority");
MyThread highPriority =
new MyThread (7, "high priority");
lowPriority.start();
highPriority.start();
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch ( InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println("Main thread interrupted.");
}
lowPriority.stop();
highPriority.stop();
try {
highPriority.t.join();
lowPriority.t.join();
System.out.println(
"InterruptedException caught");
}
}
}
Synchronizing Threads
A major concern when two or more threads share the same resource is that only one of them can
access the resource at one time. Programmers address this concern by synchronizing threads,
much the same way baseball players take turns being up to bat.
Threads are synchronized in Java through the use of a monitor. Think of a monitor as an object
that enables a thread to access a resource. Only one thread can use a monitor at any one time
period. Programmers say that the thread owns the monitor for that period of time. The monitor is
also called a semaphore.
A thread can own a monitor only if no other thread owns the monitor. If the monitor is available,
a thread can own the monitor and have exclusive access to the resource associated with the
monitor. If the monitor is not available, the thread is suspended until the monitor becomes
available. Programmers say that the thread is waiting for the monitor.
Fortunately, the task of acquiring a monitor for a resource happens behind the scenes in Java.
Java handles all the details for you. You do have to synchronize the threads you create in your
program if more than one thread will use the same resource.
You have two ways in which you can synchronize threads: You can use the synchronized
method or the synchronized statement.
The Synchronized Method
All objects in Java have a monitor. A thread enters a monitor whenever a method modified by
the keyword synchronized is called. The thread that is first to call the synchronized method is
said to be inside the method and therefore owns the method and resources used by the method.
Another thread that calls the synchronized method is suspended until the first thread relinquishes
the synchronized method.
If a synchronized method is an instance method, the synchronized method activates the lock
associated with the instance that called the synchronized method, which is the object known as
this during the execution of the body of the method. If the synchronized method is static, it
activates the lock associated with the class object that defines the synchronized method.
Before you learn how to define a synchronized method in your program, let’s see what might
happen if synchronization is not used in a program. This is the objective of the following
example. This program displays two names within parentheses using two threads. This is a three-
step process, where the opening parenthesis, the name, and the closing parenthesis are displayed
in separate steps.
The example defines three classes: the Parentheses class, the MyThread class, and the Demo
class, which is the program class. The Parentheses class defines one method called display(),
which receives a string in its argument list and displays the string in parentheses on the screen.
The MyThread class defines a thread. In doing so, the constructor of MyThread requires two
arguments. The first argument is a reference to an instance of the Parentheses class. The second
argument is a string containing the name that will be displayed on the screen. The run() method
uses the instance of the Parentheses class to call its display() method, passing the display()
method the name that is to appear on the screen.
The rest of the action happens in the main() method of the Demo class. The first statement
declares an instance of the Parentheses class. The next two classes create two threads. Notice that
both threads use the same instance of the Parentheses class.
Here’s what is displayed when you run this program. It’s probably not what you expected to see.
Each name should be enclosed within its own parentheses. The problem is that the display()
method isn’t synchronized.
class BlockingQueue extends Queue {

public synchronized Object remove() {
while (isEmpty()) {
wait(); // really this.wait()
}
return super.remove();
}
public synchronized void add(Object o) {
super.add(o);
notifyAll(); // this.notifyAll()
}
}
class Parentheses
{
void display(String s)
{
System.out.print ("(" + s);
try
{
Thread.sleep (1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e)
{
System.out.println ("Interrupted");
}
System.out.println(")");
}
}
class MyThread implements Runnable
{
String s1;
Parentheses p1;
Thread t;
public MyThread (Parentheses p2, String s2) {
p1= p2;
s1= s2;
t = new Thread(this);
t.start();
}
public void run() {
p1.display(s1);
}
}
class Demo
{
public static void main (String args[]) {
Parentheses p3 = new Parentheses();
MyThread name1 = new MyThread(p3, "Bob");
MyThread name2 = new MyThread(p3, "Mary");
try {
name1.t.join();
name2.t.join();
}
catch (InterruptedException e )
{
System.out.println( "Interrupted");
}
}
}
The problem with the previous example is that two threads use the same resource concurrently.
The resource is the display() method defined in the Parentheses class. In order to have one thread
take control of the display() method, we must synchronize the display() method. This is done by
using the keyword synchronized in the header of the display() method, which is illustrated in the
next example.
Here’s what is displayed when you run the next example. This is what you expected to see in the
previous example.
(Bob)
(Mary)
class Parentheses {
synchronized void display(String s) {
System.out.print ("(" + s);
try {
Thread.sleep (1000);
System.out.println ("Interrupted");
}
System.out.println(")");
}
}
String s1;
Parentheses p1;
Thread t;
public MyThread (Parentheses p2, String s2) {
p1= p2;
s1= s2;
t = new Thread(this);
t.start();
}
public void run() {
p1.display(s1);
}
}
class Demo{
Parentheses p3 = new Parentheses();
MyThread name1 = new MyThread(p3, "Bob");
MyThread name2 = new MyThread(p3, "Mary");
try {
name1.t.join();
name2.t.join();
System.out.println( "Interrupted");
}
}
}
Suspending and Resuming Threads
There might be times when you need to temporarily stop a thread from processing and then
resume processing, such as when you want to let another thread use the current resource. You
can achieve this objective by defining your own suspend and resume methods, as shown in the
following example.
This example defines a MyThread class. The MyThread class defines three methods: the run()
method, the suspendThread() method, and the resumeThread() method. In addition, the
MyThread class declares the instance variable suspended, whose value is used to indicate
whether or not the thread is suspended.
The run() method contains a for loop that displays the value of the counter variable. Each time
the counter variable is displayed, the thread pauses briefly. It then enters a synchronized
statement to determine whether the value of the suspended instance variable is true. If so, the
wait() method is called, causing the thread to be suspended until the notify() method is called.
The suspendThread() method simply assigns true to the suspended instance variable. The
resumeThread() method assigns false to the suspended instance variable and then calls the
notify() method. This causes the thread that is suspended to resume processing.
The main() method of the Demo class declares an instance of MyThread and then pauses for
about a second before calling the suspendThread() method and displaying an appropriate
message on the screen. It then pauses for about another second before calling the resumeThread()
method and again displaying an appropriate message on the screen.
The thread continues to display the value of the counter variable until the thread is suspended.
The thread continues to display the value of the counter variable once the thread resumes
processing. Here’s what is displayed when you run this program:
Thread: 0
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Thread: Suspended
Thread: Resume
Thread: 5
Thread: 6
Thread: 7
Thread: 8
Thread: 9
Thread exiting.
String name;
Thread t;
boolean suspended;
MyThread() {
t = new Thread(this, "Thread");
suspended = false ;
t.start();
}
public void run() {
try {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
System.out.println("Thread: " + i );
Thread.sleep(200);
synchronized (this) {
while (suspended) {
wait();
}
}
}
System.out.println("Thread: interrupted.");
}
System.out.println("Thread exiting.");
}
void suspendThread() {
suspended = true;
}
synchronized void resumeThread() {
suspended = false;
notify();
}
}
class Demo {
public static void main (String args [] ) {
MyThread t1 = new MyThread();
try{
Thread.sleep(1000);
t1.suspendThread();
System.out.println("Thread: Suspended");
Thread.sleep(1000);
t1.resumeThread();
System.out.println("Thread: Resume");
}
try {
t1.t.join();
System.out.println (
"Main Thread: interrupted");
}
}
}
*Java io package:
The Java Input/output (I/O) is a part of java.io package. The java.io package contains a
relatively large number of classes that support input and output operations. The classes in the
package are primarily abstract classes and stream-oriented that define methods and subclasses
which allow bytes to be read from and written to files or other input and output sources. The
InputStream and OutputStream are central classes in the package which are used for
reading from and writing to byte streams, respectively.
The java.io package can be categories along with its stream classes in a hierarchy structure
shown below:
InputStream:
The InputStream class is used for reading the data such as a byte and array of bytes from an
input source. An input source can be a file, a string, or memory that may contain the data. It
is an abstract class that defines the programming interface for all input streams that are
inherited from it. An input stream is automatically opened when you create it. You cans
explicitly close a stream with the close( ) method, or let it be closed implicitly when the object
is found as a garbage.
The subclasses inherited from the InputStream class can be seen in a hierarchy manner
shown below:
InputStream is inherited from the Object class. Each class of the InputStreams provided by the
java.io package is intended for a different purpose.
OutputStream:
The OutputStream class is a sibling to InputStream that is used for writing byte and array of
bytes to an output source. Similar to input sources, an output source can be anything such as a
file, a string, or memory containing the data. Like an input stream, an output stream is
automatically opened when you create it. You can explicitly close an output stream with the
close( ) method, or let it be closed implicitly when the object is garbage collected.
The classes inherited from the OutputStream class can be seen in a hierarchy structure shown
below:
OutputStream is also inherited from the Object class. Each class of the OutputStreams
provided by the java.io package is intended for a different purpose.
How Files and Streams Work:
Java uses streams to handle I/O operations through which the data is flowed from one
location to another. For example, an InputStream can flow the data from a disk file to the
internal memory and an OutputStream can flow the data from the internal memory to a disk
file. The disk-file may be a text file or a binary file. When we work with a text file, we use a
character stream where one character is treated as per byte on disk. When we work with a
binary file, we use a binary stream.
The working process of the I/O streams can be shown in the given diagram.
Files:-
can read several types of information from files: binary, Java objects, text, zipped files, etc. One
of the most common problems is reading lines of text.
Example: Copy one file to another
This example reads text files using the classes FileReader, BufferedReader, FileWriter, and
BufferedWriter. It's a main program without a graphical user interface, reading from the console.
To change this to a graphical user interface, use JFileChooser to get a File object instead
console input.
import java.io.*;
public class CopyMultipleFiles{

public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException {
BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Enter Number of files that have to be coppied:");
int n = Integer.parseInt(bf.readLine());
String fileName[] = new String[n];
for (int i=0; i<n; i++){
System.out.println("Enter file name:");
fileName[i] = bf.readLine();
}
for (int j=0; j<n-1; j++){
copyfile(fileName[j],fileName[j+1]);
}
System.out.println("File copied.");
}
public static void copyfile(String srFile, String dtFile){

try{
File f1 = new File(srFile);
File f2 = new File(dtFile);
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(f1);
//For Append the file.
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(f2,true);
//For Overwrite the file.

// OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(f2);
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];

int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0){
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
in.close();
out.close();
}
catch(FileNotFoundException ex){
System.out.println(ex.getMessage() + " in the specified directory.");
System.exit(0);
}
catch(IOException e){
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
GUI interface
javax.swing.JFileChooser creates a standard file dialog and allows you to easily get a File
object for reading or writing. See JFileChooser.
Working with the text lines
The above program does nothing with the lines of text except write them. Typically, you need to
get values from the lines. There are several useful ways to extract data from the lines.
1. java.util.Scanner is very useful for parsing fields from a string / file.

if(i==0)
System.out.println((char)c);
}
else
System.out.println(character.toUpperCase((char)c));
System.out.println();
in.reset();// set the file pointer begining of file

It is abstract class providing an interface for useful functionality to the other input
stream classes.the following classes under the filter input stream.
1.BufferedInputStream
2.DataInputStream
3.PushBackInputStream
2.FilterOutputStream-
It is abstract class providing an interface for useful functionality to other

ouput stream classes.the following classes under the filter output stream.
1.BufferedoutputStream
2.DataOutputStream
3.PrintStream
1.BufferedInputStream-
It is use to prevent the physical read everytime when more data is readed. this class
accept input by using a buffered array of bytes.
*Constructor
1.BufferedInputStream(InputStream obj);
2.BufferedInputStream(InputStream obj,int bufsize);
*BufferedOutputStream:-
It is use to prevent a physical write everytime when we send a piece of data.
*constructor
1.BufferedOutputStream(OutputStream o)
2.BufferedOutputStream(OutputStream,int bufsize);
*Programe of BufferedInputStream
import java.IO.*;

int ch;
while((ch=l.read())!=-1)
if(ch==m)
{
System.out.println((char)ch+" "+l.getLineNumber());
*StreamTokenizer:-
It help to identify the patient in the input stream it is a responsible for breaking up
the input stream it to tokens. A stream is tokenizer by creating a streamTokenizer with the file
object as its source.The loop invoke the next token which returns the tokenbyte of next token.
1.TT_EOF:-
end of the file is reach
2.TT_EOL:-
end of line of found
3.TT_word:-
word is can the stream failed sval contains the word.
4.TT_NUMBERS:-
NUMBER is scan failed nval contains the value of number scan.

c++;
else if(tok==streamTokenizer.TT_NUMBER);
System.out.println("found"+c+"word and"+c1+"number in temp.txt");
*filereader:-
Convenience class for reading character files. The constructors of this class assume that the
default character encoding and the default byte-buffer size are appropriate. To specify these
values yourself, construct an InputStreamReader on a FileInputStream.
*constructor:-

writing of single characters, arrays, and strings.
The buffer size may be specified, or the default size may be accepted. The default is large
enough for most purposes.
constructor:-
BufferedWriter(writer w)
6)OutputStreamWriter:-
An OutputStreamWriter is a bridge from character streams to byte streams: Characters written to

it are translated into bytes according to a specified character encoding. The encoding that it uses
may be specified by name, or the platform's default encoding may be accepted.
OutputStreamWriter(OutputStream obj);

Introduction
In this section you will learn about the different components available in the Java AWT
package for developing user interface for your program.
Following some components of Java AWT are explained :
1. Labels : This is the simplest component of Java Abstract Window Toolkit. This
component is generally used to show the text or string in your application and label never
perform any type of action. Syntax for defining the label only and with justification :
Label label_name = new Label ("This is the label text.");

Above code simply represents the text for the label.
Label label_name = new Label ("This is the label text.", Label.CENTER);
Justification of label can be left, right or centered. Above declaration used the center
justification of the label using the Label.CENTER.
2. Buttons : This is the component of Java Abstract Window Toolkit and is used to trigger
actions and other events required for your application. The syntax of defining the button
is as follows :
Button button_name = new Button ("This is the label of the button.");

You can change the Button's label or get the label's text by using the
Button.setLabel(String) and Button.getLabel() method. Buttons are added to the it's
container using the add (button_name) method.
3. Check Boxes : This component of Java AWT allows you to create check boxes in your
applications. The syntax of the definition of Checkbox is as follows :
CheckBox checkbox_name = new Checkbox ("Optional check box 1", false);

Above code constructs the unchecked Checkbox by passing the boolean valued argument
false with the Checkbox label through the Checkbox() constructor. Defined Checkbox is
added to it's container using add (checkbox_name) method. You can change and get the
checkbox's label using the setLabel (String) and getLabel() method. You can also set and
get the state of the checkbox using the setState(boolean) and getState() method provided
by the Checkbox class.
4. Radio Button : This is the special case of the Checkbox component of Java AWT
package. This is used as a group of checkboxes which group name is same. Only one
Checkbox from a Checkbox Group can be selected at a time. Syntax for creating radio
buttons is as follows :
CheckboxGroup chkgp = new CheckboxGroup();

add (new Checkbox ("One", chkgp, false);
add (new Checkbox ("Two", chkgp, false);
add (new Checkbox ("Three",chkgp, false);
In the above code we are making three check boxes with the label "One", "Two" and
"Three". If you mention more than one true valued for checkboxes then your program
takes the last true and show the last check box as checked.
5. Text Area: This is the text container component of Java AWT package. The Text Area
contains plain text. TextArea can be declared as follows:
TextArea txtArea_name = new TextArea();

You can make the Text Area editable or not using the setEditable (boolean) method. If
you pass the boolean valued argument false then the text area will be non-editable
otherwise it will be editable. The text area is by default in editable mode. Text are set in
the text area using the setText(string) method of the TextArea class.
6. Text Field: This is also the text container component of Java AWT package. This
component contains single line and limited text information. This is declared as follows :
TextField txtfield = new TextField(20);

You can fix the number of columns in the text field by specifying the number in the
constructor. In the above code we have fixed the number of columns to 20.

8. In this section, you will learn about the java.awt.*; package available with JDK. AWT
stands for Abstract Windowing Toolkit. It contains all classes to write the program that
interface between the user and different windowing toolkits. You can use the AWT package to

• Difference between applet and swing package.
Swing is light weight Component. Applet is heavy weight Components
2. Swing Using UIManager. Swing has looked and feel according to user view u can change
look and feel. Applet Does not provide this facility
3.Swing uses for stand-alone Applications, Swing have main method to execute the
program. Applet needs HTML code for Run the Applet
4. Swing uses MVC Model view Controller. Applet not
5. Swings have its own Layout...like most popular Box Layout Applet uses Awt
Layouts..Like flowlayout
6. Swings have some Thread rules. Applet doesn’t have any rule.
7. To execute Swing no need any browser By which we can create stand alone application
But Here we have to add container and maintain all action control within frame container.
To execute Applet programs we should need any one browser like Appletviewer, web
browser. Because Applet using browser container to run and all action control within
browser container.
Examples:-

Swing:-
The Java Swing provides the multiple platform independent APIs interfaces for interacting
between the users and GUIs components. All Java Swing classes imports form the import
javax.swing.*; package. Java provides an interactive features for design the GUIs toolkit or
components like: labels, buttons, text boxes, checkboxes, combo boxes, panels and sliders etc.
All AWT flexible components can be handled by the Java Swing. The Java Swing supports the
plugging between the look and feel features. The look and feel that means the dramatically
changing in the component like JFrame, JWindow, JDialog etc. for viewing it into the several
types of window.
Here the following APIs interfaces and classes are available:
The following interfaces and it's descriptions to be used by the Java swing.
Interfaces Descriptions
Action This interface performed the action with
the ActionListener where the multiple controls are used for
same purposes.
BoundedRangeModel This interface defines the data model of components like:

sliders and progressBars.
ButtonModel It defines the state model for the buttons like: radio buttons,
check boxes etc.

JApplet, JFrame JWindow, and JDialog can all produce a

Container with getContentPane( ) that can contain and display Components. In
Container, there’s a method called setLayout( ) that allows you to choose a different
layout manager. Other classes, such as JPanel, contain and display components directly and so
you also set the layout manager directly, without using the content pane.In this section we’ll
explore the various layout managers by placing buttons in them (since that’s the simplest thing
to do). There won’t be any
capturing of button events since these examples are just intended to show how the buttons are
laid out.
BorderLayout
Applets use a default layout scheme: the BorderLayout (a number of the previous example
have changed the layout manager to FlowLayout).Without any other instruction, this takes
whatever you add( ) to it and places it in the center, stretching the object all the way out to the
edges.
However, there’s more to the BorderLayout. This layout manager hasthe concept of four
border regions and a center area. When you addsomething to a panel that’s using a
BorderLayout you can use theoverloaded add( ) method that takes a constant value as its
first argument. This value can be any of the following:
BorderLayout. NORTH Top
BorderLayout. SOUTH Bottom
BorderLayout. EAST Right
BorderLayout. WEST Left
BorderLayout.CENTER
//<applet code=BorderLayout1 width=300 height=250></applet>

import java.awt.*;
import com.bruceeckel.swing.*;
public class BorderLayout1 extends JApplet {
public void init() {
Container cp = getContentPane();
cp.add(BorderLayout.NORTH, new JButton("North"));
cp.add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, new JButton("South"));
cp.add(BorderLayout.EAST, new JButton("East"));
cp.add(BorderLayout.WEST, new JButton("West"));
cp.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, new JButton("Center"));
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Console.run (new BorderLayout1(), 300, 250);
}
} ///
For every placement but CENTER, the element that you add is compressed to fit in the smallest
amount of space along one dimension while it is stretched to the maximum along the other
dimension. CENTER, however, spreads out in both dimensions to occupy the middle.
FlowLayout
This simply “flows” the components onto the form, from left to right until the top space is full,
then moves down a row and continues flowing. Here’s an example that sets the layout manager
to FlowLayout and then places buttons on the form. You’ll notice that with FlowLayout
the
components take on their “natural” size. A JButton, for example, will be the size of its string
// <applet code=FlowLayout1 width=300 height=250></applet>
import java.awt.*;
public class FlowLayout1 extends JApplet {
cp.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
for(int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
cp.add(new JButton("Button " + i));
}
Console.run(new FlowLayout1(), 300, 250);
}
} ///:~
All components will be compacted to their smallest size in a FlowLayout, so you might get a
little bit of surprising behavior.
GridLayout
A GridLayout allows you to build a table of components, and as you add them they are placed
left-to-right and top-to-bottom in the grid. In the constructor you specify the number of rows
and columns that you need and these are laid out in equal proportions.
.
// <applet code=GridLayout1 width=300 height=250></applet>
import java.awt.*;
public class GridLayout1 extends JApplet {
cp.setLayout(new GridLayout(7,3));
for(int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
cp.add(new JButton("Button " + i));
}
Console.run(new GridLayout1(), 300, 250);
}
} ///:~
In this case there are 21 slots but only 20 buttons. The last slot is left empty because no
“balancing” goes on with a GridLayout.
GridBagLayout
The GridBagLayout provides you with tremendous control in deciding exactly how the
regions of your window will lay themselves out and reformat themselves when the window is
resized. However, it’s also the most complicated layout manager, and quite difficult to
understand. It is
intended primarily for automatic code generation by a GUI builder (GUI builders might use
GridBagLayout instead of absolute placement). If your design is so complicated that you feel
you need to use
Absolute positioning
It is also possible to set the absolute position of the graphical components in this way:
1. Set a null layout manager for your Container: setLayout(null).
2. Call setBounds( ) or reshape( ) (depending on the language version) for each
component, passing a bounding rectangle in pixel
coordinates. You can do this in the constructor, or in paint( ), depending on what you want to
achieve. Some GUI builders use this approach extensively, but this is usually not the best way to
generate code.
BoxLayout
Because people had so much trouble understanding and working with GridBagLayout, Swing
also includes BoxLayout, which gives you many of the benefits of GridBagLayout without
the complexity, so you can often use it when you need to do hand-coded layouts (again, if your
design becomes too complex, use a GUI builder that generates layouts for you). BoxLayout
allows you to control the placement of components either vertically or horizontally, and to
control the space between the components using something called “struts and glue.” First, let’s
see how to use the BoxLayout directly, in the same way that the other layout managers have
been demonstrated:
// <applet code=BoxLayout1 width=450 height=200></applet>
import java.awt.*;
public class BoxLayout1 extends JApplet {
JPanel jpv = new JPanel();
jpv.setLayout(new BoxLayout(jpv, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
jpv.add(new JButton("jpv " + i));
JPanel jph = new JPanel();
jph.setLayout(new BoxLayout(jph, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
jph.add(new JButton("jph " + i));
cp.add(BorderLayout.EAST, jpv);
cp.add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, jph);
}
Console.run(new BoxLayout1(), 450, 200);
}
} ///:~
The constructor for BoxLayout is a bit different than the other layout
managers—you provide the Container that is to be controlled by the
BoxLayout as the first argument, and the direction of the layout as the
second argument.
To simplify matters, there’s a special container called Box that uses
BoxLayout as its native manager. The following example lays out
components horizontally and vertically using Box, which has two static
methods to create boxes with vertical and horizontal alignment:
//: c14:Box1.java
// Vertical and horizontal BoxLayouts.
// <applet code=Box1 width=450 height=200></applet>
import java.awt.*;
public class Box1 extends JApplet {
Box bv = Box.createVerticalBox();
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
bv.add(new JButton("bv " + i));
Box bh = Box.createHorizontalBox();
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
bh.add(new JButton("bh " + i));

cp.add(BorderLayout.EAST, bv);
cp.add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, bh);
}
Console.run(new Box1(), 450, 200);
}
} ///:~
Once you have a Box, you pass it as a second argument when adding
components to the content pane.
Struts add space between components, measured in pixels. To use a strut,
you simply add it in between the addition of the components that you
want spaced apart:
// Adding struts.
import java.awt.*;
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
bv.add(new JButton("bv " + i));
bv.add(Box.createVerticalStrut(i*10));
}
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
bh.add(new JButton("bh " + i));
bh.add(Box.createHorizontalStrut(i*10));
}
cp.add(BorderLayout.EAST, bv);
cp.add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, bh);
}
}
} ///:~
Struts separate components by a fixed amount, but glue is the opposite: it
separates components by as much as possible. Thus it’s more of a “spring”
than “glue” (and the design on which this was based was called “springs
and struts” so the choice of the term is a bit mysterious).
//: c14:Box3.java
// Using Glue.
import java.awt.*;
bv.add(new JLabel("Hello"));
bv.add(Box.createVerticalGlue());
bv.add(new JLabel("Applet"));
bv.add(new JLabel("World"));
bh.add(new JLabel("Hello"));
bh.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue());
bh.add(new JLabel("Applet"));
bh.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue());
bh.add(new JLabel("World"));
bv.add(bh);
getContentPane().add(bv);
}
}
} ///:~
A strut works in one direction, but a rigid area fixes the spacing between
components in both directions:
//: c14:Box4.java
// Rigid areas are like pairs of struts.
import java.awt.*;
bv.add(new JButton("Top"));
bv.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(120, 90)));
bv.add(new JButton("Bottom"));
bh.add(new JButton("Left"));
bh.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(160, 80)));
bh.add(new JButton("Right"));
bv.add(bh);
getContentPane().add(bv);
}
}
} ///:~
You should be aware that rigid areas are a bit controversial. Since they use
absolute values, some people feel that they cause more trouble than they
are worth.

• Several dangerous features of C & C++ eliminated:

• Automatic Memory Management

JDK Java Development Kit

Java SDK Directory Structure

The jdk1.5.0 has following directory:

Demo directory - This directory consists many applications

And applets with source code.

Difference between java and c++?

Feature C C++ Java

Paradigms Procedural Procedural, OOP, Generic OOP, Generic Programming

Form of Compiled Executable Native

Memory Managed, using a garbage

Yes, very commonly used,

Preprocessor Yes Yes No

String Type Character arrays Character arrays, objects Objects

Single class inheritance,

Varied Parameters Yes Yes No

Goto Statement Yes Yes No

Data type in java

1-bit. May take on the values true and false only.

1 signed byte (two's complement). Covers values from -128 to 127.

2 bytes, signed (two's complement), -32,768 to 32,767

4 bytes, signed (two's complement). -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. Like all numeric

8 bytes signed (two's complement). Ranges from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to

4 bytes, IEEE 754. Covers a range from 1.40129846432481707e-45 to

2 bytes, unsigned, Unicode, 0 to 65,535

Desion Control statement

*Classes and object

The finalize () Method

The finalize() method has this general form:

protected void finalize()

It is important to understand that finalize() is only called just prior to garbage

Public static void main (String ar[])

System.out.println (“welcome to java”);

1. Static:- Static method

static int a=1;

static void show(int x)

public static void main(String ar[])

-Xdebug Enables debugging in the VM

Loads in-process debugging libraries

Difference between application and applet

Non static nested class called as inner class.

static int a=1;

sstatic class inclass

static int b=a+1;

public static void main(String ar[])

inclass io=new inclass();

Primitive data type wrapper class

Integer wint=new integer(pint); //boxing

Unboxing primitive type :

void changeGear(int newValue);

void speedUp(int increment);

void applyBrakes(int decrement);

*The class Hierarchy:-

Whenever there is possibility of exception being generated in a program. It is better to handle

• ArithmeticException--thrown if a program attempts to perform division by zero

• getMessage()--returns the error message reported by the exception in a String

public static void main(string ar[])

System.out.println(“You are trying to devide by zero”);
