Object Oriented Programming
• When you write a program using an Object Oriented
Programming Language you are creating a model of some part of
the real world, in your computer.
• The model is built up considering the objects that appear in the
problem domain.

Evaluation of Java
• James Gosling, Patrick Naughton, Chris Warth, Mike Sheridan, and
Ed Frank initiated the Java language project in June 1991.
• The objective was to develop a programming language which was
platform-independent and which could create embedded
software for consumer electronic devices like TVs, VCRs etc.
• It took 18 months to develop and had an initial name
as Oak which was renamed to Java in 1995.
• Java originally was developed by the team led by James Gosling at
Sun Microsystems (which has merged with the Oracle
Corporation) and released in 1995.
• JDK 1.0 released in January 23, 1996.
• Java SE 20 is a current most updated and stable release of Java.

Features of Java
• Simple : Java is simple to learn
• Object-oriented : In Java, everything is an Object
• Secure : Java has secure features that enables to develop virus-free systems
with more advanced authorization techniques
• Robust : Java provides compile time error checking and runtime checking to
eliminate errors and provide reliable code
• Distributed : Java can create network applications that can share both data
and programs
• High performance : Provides Just-In-Time compilers, that enables high
performance
• Dynamic : Java enables to link new class libraries, methods and objects
dynamically at runtime
• Both compiled & interpreted : Java compiler first compiles source code
into a byte code, then in the second stage Java Interpreter generates a
machine code that can be executed by the machine that is running the
Java program
• Platform Independent : When Java code is compiled, it is not compiled
into a platform specific machine code, rather into a platform
independent byte code
Four Pillars of OOP
• Encapsulation : Wrapping up data and methods together into a single
unit (class).
• Abstraction : The process of showing only essential/necessary features of
an object and hide the other background information.
• Inheritance : The ability of creating a new class from an existing class.
Here an object acquires the property of another object.
• Polymorphism : Polymorphism is the ability of an object to exist in many
forms.
• In Java Polymorphism is considered into two versions.
• Compile time / Method overloading / Static binding
• Runtime time / Method overriding / Dynamic binding

Installing, Configuring & Implementing Java
• Tools needed;
• JDK (Java Development Kit) : a software development
environment used for developing Java applications and applets.
It includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), an
interpreter/loader (Java), a compiler (javac), an archiver (jar), a
documentation generator (Javadoc) and other tools needed in
Java development.
• A text editor
First Program in Java
public class Hello
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
System.out.print(“Hello World!”);
}
}

• Important : Save the file using the class name. (Hello.java)

Compiling & Executing a Java Program
• To Compile :
javac Hello.java

• To Execute :
java Hello
