海外TECH	DEV Community	Top 7 React Security Vulnerabilities	https://dev.to/sananayab/top-7-react-security-vulnerabilities-5d48	Top React Security VulnerabilitiesReact is one of the most widely used JavaScript libraries and front end frameworks for creating user interfaces for web and mobile applications It has a lot of benefits that set it apart from other JavaScript libraries like Vue js The following are a few of them It is simple to maintain Make a decent developer toolbox available Produces reliable code Rendering that is faster React like many other technologies is not without flaws Security is one of them Unfortunately Because of the growing demand for mobile apps and the shorter development cycles used by app development businesses its security risks are frequently overlooked According to Ponemon Institute research of security companies are unsure whether the application they designed will pass a security examination With only a small portion of an organization s resources dedicated to application security we may see more app security flaws emerge from the applications they produce As a result it s critical to be aware of the security flaws in the technology you re utilizing to build your app According to a research the likelihood of React security problems being undiscovered grows exponentially with each new upgraded version of React or update to random libraries As a result knowing about React s fundamental security issues is even more crucial for react developers Vulnerabilities In Cybersecurity That You Should Be Aware Of Cross Site Scripting Cross Site Scripting is a technique for React is preferred above other frameworks and libraries because of its universal rendering feature Unfortunately it s also why it s vulnerable to cross site scripting assaults To find security flaws in applications attackers utilize complex automated scripts and crawlers Once the vulnerability has been discovered the cybercriminal will attempt to steal confidential information from a website through script injection They aim to insert harmful code into your react application code but there are techniques to safeguard your React app from cross site scripting assaults Use API createElement because it can automatically detect malicious code injectionHarness the power of JSX and benefit from auto escaping functionality to secure applications SQL and CSV Injection SQL injection is a sort of attack and web security flaw that updates data without the user s knowledge To extract data from the database SQL code execution is required It lets attackers to create new credentials imitate authentic ones and gain access to admin accounts allowing them to access the system SQL injections come in a variety of forms and shapes The following are some of the most frequent SQL injection attacks that target React applications Time based SQL injectionsError based SQL injectionsLogic based SQL injectionsCSV injection on the other hand occurs when websites include untrusted inputs in their CSV files Any cell that contains will be deemed a formula by Microsoft Excel or any other spreadsheets tool when that CSV file is opened Arbitrary Code Execution When an attacker wins arbitrary code execution rights on a process they can run any code or command they choose It s a flaw in either the hardware or software that s in charge of processing arbitrary code Because these exploits are extremely vulnerable they should be removed from services and applications used by the general public right away Force programs to only read tokens established previously during development is one technique to solve this problem By submitting a request to a server the system can generate suitable headers Developers must respond quickly to prevent such assaults or their applications will become vulnerable Server Side Rendering Attack Developers may be required to render an application on the server side in some cases Regrettably this increases the risk of data leakage If your code uses JSON strings to convert data to strings you should always be on the lookout for server side rendering attacks It will be more difficult to detect server side rendering attacks if you have not detected the context data Insecure Randomness User supplied data is used for the majority of web applications This enables cyber attackers to insert a link or code that begins with JavaScript resulting in insecure randomization in the program When a user clicks on that malicious link the malicious script in the browser begins to run Hackers will be able to retrieve sensitive data and even modify it if they have admin rights When an attacker acquires complete control of uniform resource identifiers the application as a whole becomes susceptible Whitelisting protocol and HTML entities for link creation are the best ways to prevent this type of assault Malicious Package What if a malicious version of React is published directly by an attacker What if a hacker gets direct publish access to popular npm modules and uses them to distribute a harmful module Apps created by developers using these modules will be insecure A malicious module or package gathers data from your system and network and sends it to a third party or it can run malicious malware during the installation process To fool developers into downloading malicious packages attackers utilize typosquatting a technique that involves naming packages after their real world equivalents It can wreak havoc on your system once downloaded and installed Zip Slip Zip slip is caused by a combination of rewritten arbitrary files and a directory traversal attack For this files can be extracted from the archive of a certain directory When archive files are unzipped with a susceptible library attackers have the potential to unzip a malicious file as well Attackers can easily overwrite the file once the unzipping procedure is complete Unfortunately any sort of file including executables configuration files and key system files might be affected by this form of attack In other words an attacker can simply access arbitrary code from afar When developers are using the same version of archive processing libraries they can detect this type of assault Once you ve identified the flaw you may put it through a directory traversal test and include zip slip in your security testing These types of attacks can also be detected using dependency vulnerability detection techniques More content at PlainEnglish io Sign up for our free weekly newsletter Follow us on

海外TECH	DEV Community	Using Parcel v2 and Transcrypt to create web applications with Python	https://dev.to/jennasys/using-parcel-v2-and-transcrypt-to-create-web-applications-with-python-30ac	Using Parcel v and Transcrypt to create web applications with PythonWhen the React to Python book was published Parcel version was just about to go into Beta Because of that it was still a bit too volatile to include in the book But now that it is officially released I thought I d give those of you using Parcel as part of the toolchain I outlined in the book a guide to using the newer version of Parcel There are definitely some new features available in the latest version of Parcel that makes switching to it worthwhile To start with the Parcel development server now supports server proxies so you don t have to use an external proxy server to serve up your back end REST services during the development process On top of that the tree shaking algorithm is much more efficient at eliminating unused code from the generated JavaScript bundle making the deployment bundle smaller Oh and the builds are faster too Running a production build on the project in Part III of the React to Python book resulted in a JavaScript bundle that was smaller and it took less time to build The general steps to modify an application to move from using the original version of Parcel to Parcel v are covered in the Parcel v documentation Here we ll go through the migration requirements in a little more detail from the perspective of a Python web application that utilizes the Transcrypt Python to JavaScript transpiler InstallationThe name of the NPM library for Parcel v has changed from parcel bundler to parcel So to install the Parcel v JavaScript library use the following to install it as a development dependency npm install parcel save dev A new recently released Parcel plugin for Transcrypt that works with Parcel v can be installed with npm install parcel transformer transcrypt save dev ConfigurationFor Parcel to know about the Transcrypt plugin we need to add a parcelrc file in the same folder that the package json file resides in Listing parcelrc extends parcel config default transformers py parcel transformer transcrypt This file tells Parcel that anytime it has a file with a py extension that it should pass the file on to the Transcrypt plugin for processing The Parcel CLI parameters have changed slightly compared to the previous version So upgrading an existing project to Parcel v may require you to update your NPM scripts in the package json file Most notably the log level parameter now uses keywords instead of numbers and the keyword for the output folder has changed from out dir to dist dir New scripts may look something more like this scripts start NODE ENV development parcel log level info src index html dist dir dist dev port build NODE ENV production parcel build log level info src index html no source maps dist dir dist prod no cache If you are using the Node js require function in your source code to load static resources like images you may also need to let Parcel know where to find those resource files at bundling time If the path to the transpiled JavaScript files are no longer located relative to the source file folder after building add an alias entry to package json alias static src static This entry will tell Parcel that for any files that are supposed to be in a static folder in the current directory to look for them in the src static folder instead relative to the root project folder Plugin OptionsThe new Parcel plugin for Transcrypt works pretty much just like the one for the original version of Parcel with a few additions The key new features include A configurable output folder when using Transcrypt The Parcel file watch works on all transpiled Python files in development mode and not just the entry pointIt checks to make sure that the Python version matches the version of Transcrypt being usedIt doesn t need patching before using it Like the previous version it has a default configuration that can be overridden with an entry in the package json file for a project parcel transformer transcrypt transcryptVersion watchAllFiles true command python m transcrypt arguments nomin map verbose The above configuration shows the default values that the Parcel Transcrypt plugin uses The transcryptVersion watchAllFiles command and arguments keys are all optional Default values are used for any keys that are not supplied If the watchAllFiles key is missing or set to true all Python files that Transcrypt processes will be added to Parcel s file watch If this key is set to false only the initial entry point file will be watched Transcrypt normally puts the files it generates in a folder called target which is created in the same folder as the source files you are processing This behavior may not be desirable if you prefer to keep your source code tree free of generated files By default if you are using Transcrypt the Parcel transformer will instead put Transcrypt s generated files in a folder named build that is created in the project s root folder where the package json file resides and where you run npm commands from You can override the location of this build folder by adding an argument to the above configuration as shown here arguments nomin map verbose outdir src target The output folder you specify in the arguments should be relative to the project s root folder Note that the outdir directive is not valid for Transcrypt version and is ignored in that case Building a Python React demo application with Parcel v and the new Python plugin yields the following console output Proxy ServerOne of the new features of Parcel v is the ability of its development server to act as a proxy for back end data services like a REST API So now instead of having to roll your own proxy server with Express js and the http proxy middleware packages you can configure Parcel to provide the same capability with no additional plugins required To do so does require creating a simple proxyrc JSON configuration file Listing proxyrc api target http localhost pathRewrite api This configuration would forward any requests having a URL starting with api to a backend server listening on port stripping off the api prefix in the process For example a request to http localhost api getusers would be proxied to http localhost getusers Additional DetailsThe new version of Parcel does not automatically treat lt script gt tags as modules so you must now explicitly specify them as such in order for imports to work correctly in a web browser You can accomplish this by including a type module attribute in the lt script gt tag that loads the application entry point in the index html file as shown below Listing index html lt DOCTYPE html gt lt html lang en gt lt head gt lt script type module src app py gt lt script gt lt title gt React to Python lt title gt lt head gt lt body gt lt div id root gt lt div gt lt body gt lt html gt Most of the changes that need to be made when upgrading from Parcel v to Parcel v happen in the package json file In addition to what was mentioned above you may have a line like this in your package json file that was added by default when you ran npm init “main “index js While that key was previously ignored in the older version of Parcel the new version of Parcel will try and treat your web application as a library if it finds it there To keep Parcel v from complaining that line will need to be removed tl drIn summary here are the basic changes needed when moving from Parcel v to Parcel v for Python web applications Add type module to entry point script tag in index htmlAdd parcelrc file to let Parcel know how to process py filesUpdate package json Remove key entry for main index js if it existsUpdate NPM scripts with new Parcel CLI parametersAdd alias key for relative static imports if necessaryUpdate devDependencies Change parcel bundler to parcelChange parcel plugin transcrypt to parcel transformer transcryptChange parcel plugin bundle visualiser to parcel reporter bundle analyzerRemove expressRemove http proxy middlewareIf using a proxy server Add a proxyrc file with the backend server configurationDelete dev server js and use npm start instead of npm run dev for development ConclusionOne of the admittedly annoying pain points of using the toolchain I outlined in the React to Python book was the fact that the Transcrypt plugin for Parcel was broken And because the plugin was not being actively maintained it had to be patched after installing it With Parcel v and the new Transcrypt plugin developed for it this is no longer the case Developing web applications with Python is now even more seamless and productive than it was before ResourcesSource Code Parcel Website Parcel v Migration Documentation Parcel Plugin for Transcrypt Creating React Applications with

海外TECH	DEV Community	Differences Between Web 3.0 and WEB 2.0	https://dev.to/iyanuloluwamiracle/differences-between-web-30-and-web-20-23nh	Differences Between Web and WEB What Are Web and Web Web and Web refer to successive iterations of the web compared with the original Web of the s and early s Web is the current version of the Internet a term often used interchangeably with web with which we are all familiar while Web represents its next phase Web refers to the World Wide Web WWW the Internet s core information retrieval system The www synonym used to and often still does preface a web address and was one of the first characters typed into a web browser when searching for a specific resource online Internet pioneer Tim Berners Lee is credited with coining the term World Wide Web to refer to the global web of information and resources interconnected through hypertext linksWeb Web refers to a paradigm shift in how the Internet is used Over the past to years the bland web pages of Web have been completely replaced by Web s interactivity social connectivity and user generated content Web makes it possible for user generated content to be viewed by millions of people around the world virtually in an instant this unparalleled reach has led to an explosion of this type of content in recent years The exponential growth of Web has been driven by key innovations such as mobile Internet access and social networks as well as the near ubiquity of powerful mobile devices like iPhones and Android powered devices In the second decade of this millennium these developments enabled the dominance of apps that greatly expanded online interactivity and utilityーfor example Airbnb Facebook now Meta Instagram TikTok Twitter Uber WhatsApp and YouTube to name a few The phenomenal revenue growth of these dominant platforms has made many of the Web centric companiesーsuch as Apple Amazon Google Facebook Meta and Netflixーamong the world s biggest companies by market capitalization and along the way created the FAANG acronym for them These applications have also spurred the growth of the gig economy by enabling millions of people to earn income on a part time or full time basis by driving renting their homes delivering food and groceries or selling goods and services online Web has also been tremendously disruptive to certain industries to the point of being an existential threat to some of them These are sectors that have either failed to adapt to the new web centric business model or been slow to do so with retail entertainment media and advertising being among the hardest hit Web Web represents the next iteration or phase of the evolution of the web Internet and potentially could be as disruptive and represent as big a paradigm shift as Web Web is built upon the core concepts of decentralization openness and greater user utility Berners Lee had expounded upon some of these key concepts back in the s as outlined below Decentralization “No permission is needed from a central authority to post anything on the web there is no central controlling node and so no single point of failure and no kill switch This also implies freedom from indiscriminate censorship and surveillance Bottom up design “Instead of code being written and controlled by a small group of experts it was developed in full view of everyone encouraging maximum participation and experimentation In a paper Berners Lee discussed the concept of what he referred to as the Semantic Web Computers have no reliable way to process the semantics of language i e figure out the actual context in which a word or phrase is used Berners Lee s vision for the Semantic Web was to bring structure to the meaningful content of web pages and enable software that would carry out sophisticated tasks for users Web has moved well beyond the original concept of the Semantic Web as conceptualized by Berners Lee in This is partly because it is very expensive and monumentally difficult to convert human languageーwith all its subtle nuances and variationsーinto a format that can be readily understood by computers and because Web has already evolved substantially over the past two decades Defining Features of Web While there is as yet no standardized definition of Web it does have a few defining features Decentralization This is a core tenet of Web In Web computers use HTTP in the form of unique web addresses to find information which is stored at a fixed location generally on a single server With Web because information would be found based on its content it could be stored in multiple locations simultaneously and hence be decentralized This would break down the massive databases currently held by Internet giants like Facebook now Meta and Google and would hand greater control to users With Web the data generated by disparate and increasingly powerful computing resources including mobile phones desktops appliances vehicles and sensors will be sold by users through decentralized data networks ensuring that users retain ownership control Trustless and permissionless In addition to decentralization and being based upon open source software Web will also be trustless i e the network will allow participants to interact directly without going through a trusted intermediary and permissionless meaning that anyone can participate without authorization from a governing body As a result Web applications will run on blockchains or decentralized peer to peer networks or a combination thereofーsuch decentralized apps are referred to as dApps Artificial intelligence AI and machine learning In Web computers will be able to understand information similarly to humans through technologies based upon Semantic Web concepts and natural language processing Web will also use machine learning which is a branch of artificial intelligence AI that uses data and algorithms to imitate how humans learn gradually improving its accuracy These capabilities will enable computers to produce faster and more relevant results in a host of areas like drug development and new materials as opposed to merely targeted advertising that forms the bulk of current efforts Connectivity and ubiquity With Web information and content are more connected and ubiquitous accessed by multiple applications and with an increasing number of everyday devices connected to the webーan

海外TECH	DEV Community	Java for Beginners Full Course	https://dev.to/killallnano/java-for-beginners-full-course-315l	Java for Beginners Full Course What is JAVA Java is a high level third generation programming language like C C Perl and many others You can use Java to write computer applications that play games store data etc Compared to other programming languages Java is most similar to C What s special about Java in relation to other programming languages is that it lets you write special programs called applets that can be downloaded from the Internet and played safely within a web browser HistoryJava is an object oriented programming language created by James Gosling from Sun Microsystems Sun in The first publicly available version of Java Java was released in Sun Microsystems was acquired by the Oracle Corporation in Over time new enhanced versions of Java have been released The current version of Java is Java From the Java programming language the Java platform evolved The Java platform is usually associated with the Java virtual machine and the Java core libraries In Sun started to make Java available under the GNU General Public License GPL The Java compilerA compiler is a program that converts a high level language to a machine language i e from source code to binary code When you program from the Java platform you write source code with a java file extension and then compile them The java compiler converts high level java code into bytecode The compiler checks your code against the language s syntax rules then writes out bytecodes in a class files Bytecodes are standard instructions targeted to run on a Java virtual machine JVM In adding this level of abstraction the Java compiler differs from other language compilers which write out instructions suitable for the CPU chipset the program will run on An interpreter is a program that translates or converts a high level language to a machine language line by line In Java the Just In Time Code generator converts the bytecode into the native machine code which are at the same programming levels Hence java is both compiled as well as an interpreted language Java virtual machine JVM Java programs are compiled by the Java compiler into bytecode The JVM is a software implementation of a computer that executes programs like a real machine At run time the JVM reads and interprets a class files and executes the program s instructions on the native hardware platform for which the JVM was written The Java virtual machine is written specifically for a specific operating system e g for Linux a special implementation is required as well as for Windows The JVM is the heart of the Java language s write once run anywhere principle Your code can run on any chipset for which a suitable JVM implementation is available JVMs are available for major platforms like Linux and Windows and subsets of the Java language have been implemented in JVMs for mobile phones and hobbyist chips What are the tasks of JVM JVM performs byte code interpretation garbage collection exception handling thread management initialization of variables and type definition Java platformThe Java platform is the name given to the computing platform from Oracle that helps users to run and develop Java applications The platform does not just enable a user to run and develop Java applications but also features a wide variety of tools that can help developers work efficiently with the Java programming language The platform consists of two essential components Java Runtime Environment JRE which is needed to run Java applications and applets Java Development Kit JDK which is needed to develop those Java applications and applets If you have installed the JDK it comes equipped with a JRE as well When installed on a computer the JRE provides the operating system with the means to run Java programs whereas the JDK is a collection of tools used by a programmer to create Java applications The JDK has as its primary components a collection of programming tools including Basic ToolsThese tools are the foundation of the JDK They are the tools you use to create and build applications appletviewer Run and debug applets without a web browser apt Annotation processing tool extcheck Utility to detect Jar conflicts jar Create and manage Java Archive JAR files java The launcher for Java applications The old deployment launcher JRE is no longer provided javac The compiler for the Java programming language javadoc API documentation generator javah C header and stub generator Used to write native methods javap Class file disassemblerjdb The Java Debugger See JPDA for the debugger architecture specifications Security ToolsThese security tools help you set security policies on your system and create applications that can work within the scope of security policies set at remote sites keytool Manage keystores and certificates jarsigner Generate and verify JAR signatures policytool GUI tool for managing policy files More Characteristics of JavaObject OrientedIn Java everything is an Object Java can be easily extended since it is based on the Object model SimpleJava is designed to be easy to learn If you understand the basic concept of OOP Java it would be easy to master Platform IndependentWhen Java is compiled it is not compiled into platform specific machine rather into platform independent byte code This byte code is distributed over the web and interpreted by the Virtual Machine JVM on whichever platform it is being run on SecureWith Java s secure feature it enables to develop virus free tamper free systems Authentication techniques are based on public key encryption PortableBeing architecture neutral and having no implementation dependent aspects of the specification makes Java portable MultithreadedWith Java s multithreaded feature it is possible to write programs that can perform many tasks simultaneously This design feature allows the developers to construct interactive applications that can run smoothly Architecture neutralJava compiler generates an architecture neutral object file format which makes the compiled code executable on many processors with the presence of Java runtime system InterpretedJava byte code is translated on the fly to native machine instructions and is not stored anywhere The development process is more rapid and analytical since the linking is an incremental and lightweight process DynamicJava is considered to be more dynamic than C or C since it is designed to adapt to an evolving environment Java programs can carry an extensive amount of run time information that can be used to verify and resolve accesses to objects at run time High PerformanceWith the use of Just In Time compilers Java enables high performance DistributedJava is designed for the distributed environment of the internet Development process with javaJava source files are written as plain text documents The programmer typically writes Java source code in an Integrated Development Environment IDE for programming An IDE supports the programmer in the task of writing code e g it provides auto formatting of the source code highlighting of the important keywords etc At some point the programmer or the IDE calls the Java compiler javac The Java compiler creates the bytecode instructions These instructions are stored in a class file and can be executed by the Java Virtual Machine Garbage collectorThe JVM automatically recollects or reclaims the memory which is not in use by the program The Java garbage collector checks all object references and finds the objects which can be automatically released While the garbage collector relieves the programmer from the need to explicitly manage memory the programmer still needs to ensure that he does not keep unneeded object references otherwise the garbage collector cannot release the associated memory Keeping unneeded object references is typically called memory leaks ClasspathThe classpath defines where the Java compiler and Java runtime look for a class files to load These instructions can be used in the Java program For example if you want to use an external Java library you have to add this library to your classpath to use it in your program Java is case sensitive e g variables called jeff and Jeff are treated as different variables Java Development ToolsJava source files are written as plain text documents The programmer writes Java source code in an Integrated Development Environment IDE for programming An integrated development environment IDE or interactive developmentenvironment is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities for programmers to use for software development An IDE normally consists of a source code editor build automation tools and a debugger Several modern IDEs integrate with Intelli sense coding features An IDE also supports the programmer in the task of writing code e g it provides auto formatting of the source code highlighting of the important keywords etc Common Java IDE Tools include IntelliJ IDEA Eclipse Java development tools JDT JCreator ーJava IDEJava

can be used in the Java program You can use the classpath to run the program from another place in your directory Configure classpath in Java environment on Windows Windows Click on the Start menuSearch Advanced System settingClick on Environment Variables under System Variables find path and click on it In the Edit windows modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH If you do not have the item PATH you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the name and the location of the class as the value e g PATH C ProgramFiles Java jdk bin In my case it is already configured Reopen Command prompt window and run your java code using the javac command Java Fundamentals Java Input OutputJava uses streams to perform input and output A stream can be defined

store data to be used in a program Variables maintain the state of your application and enable the user to manage data The values stored in variables may change during program execution Identifier These are variable names Variable name is a name given to memory cells location of a computer where data is stored You can use any combination of thosecharacters as long as the name doesn t begin with a number Identifier is the name of a variable that is made up from combination of alphabets digits and underscore Rules for naming varibales Variable names may contain only letters numbers underscores Should not begin with a number First character should be letter or alphabet Keywords are not allowed to be used as a variable name White space is not allowed Java is case sensitive i e UPPER and lower case are significant Special characters such as space etc not allowed KeywordsKeywords are the system defined identifiers All keywords have predefined meanings White spaces are not allowed in keywords Keyword should not be used as an identifier Common java keywords include abstract Indicates that the details of a class a method or an interface are given elsewhere inthe code assert Tests the truth of a condition that the programmer believes is true boolean Indicates that a value is either true or false break Jumps out of a loop or switch byte Indicates that a value is an bit whole number case Introduces one of several possible paths of execution in a switch statement catch Introduces statements that are executed when something interrupts the flow of execution in a try clause char Indicates that a value is a character a single letter digit punctuation symbol and so on class Introduces a class a blueprint for an object continue Forces the abrupt end of the current loop iteration and begins another iteration default Introduces a path of execution to take when no case is a match in a switch statement do Causes the computer to repeat some statements over and over again for example as long as the computer keeps getting unacceptable results double Indicates that a value is a bit number with one or more digits after the decimal point else Introduces statements that are executed when the condition in an if statement isn t true enum Creates a newly defined type a group of values that a variable can have extends Creates a subclass a class that reuses functionality from a previously defined class final Indicates that a variable s value cannot be changed that a class s functionality cannot be extended or that a method cannot be overridden finally Introduces the last will and testament of the statements in a try clause float Indicates that a value is a bit number with one or more digits after the decimal point for Gets the computer to repeat some statements over and over again for example for a certain number of times if Tests to see whether a condition is true If it s true the computer executes certain statements otherwise the computer executes the remaining other statements implements Reuses the functionality from a previously defined interface import Enables the programmer to abbreviate the names of classes defined in a package instanceof Tests to see whether a certain object comes from a certain class int Indicates that a value is a bit whole number interface Introduces an interface which is like a class but less specific Interfaces are used where one is to inherit from one or more other instances long Indicates that a value is a bit whole number native Enables the programmer to use code that was written in another language new Creates an object from an existing class package Puts the code into a package ーa collection of logically related definitions private Indicates that a variable or method can be used only within a certain class protected Indicates that a variable or method can be used in subclass from another package public Indicates that a variable class or method can be used by any other Java code return Ends execution of a method and possibly returns a value to the calling code short Indicates that a value is a bit whole number static Indicates that a variable or method belongs to a class rather than to any object created from the class strictfp Limits the computer s ability to represent extra large or extra small numbers when the computer does intermediate calculations on float and double values super Refers to the super class of the code in which the word super appears switch Tells the computer to follow one of many possible paths of execution one of many possible cases depending on the value of an expression synchronized Keeps two threads from interfering with one another this A self reference refers to the object in which the word this appears throw Creates a new exception object and indicates that an exceptional situation usually something unwanted has occurred throws Indicates that a method or constructor may pass the buck when an exception is thrown transient Indicates that if and when an object is serialized a variable s value doesn t need to be stored try Introduces statements that are watched during runtime for things that can go wrong void Indicates that a method doesn t return a value volatile Imposes strict rules on the use of a variable by more than one thread at a time while Repeats some statements over and over again as long as a condition is still true Data Types in JavaData types dictate the kind of data that a variable can store Data type can be defined as the type of data for a variable or constant store When we use a variablein a program then we have to mention the type of data In java there are two types of data types primitive data types and non primitive data types Variable InitializationIn Java variables aren t necessarily assigned an initial value when they re declared but all variables must be assigned a value before the variable s value is used in an assignment statement int a int b We re now initializing BOTH variables explicitly a b a a b System out println a Use of variables before they are initialized results in a compiler error The String TypeA String represents a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters in other words we can say a String is array of characters The symbol String starts with a capital “S whereas the names of primitive types are expressed in all lowercase int float boolean etc E g String name Jeff This capitalization difference is deliberate and mandatoryーstring lowercase won twork as a type String concatenationThe plus sign operator is normally used for arithmetic addition but when used in conjunction with Strings Any number of String values can be concatenated with the operator as the following code snippet illustrates public class StringCont public static void main String args String f name Jeff String l name Odhiambo String name Mr f name l name System out println name OutputMr Jeff Odhiambo StatementsA statement is basically any declaration function call assignment or condition Statements are the building blocks of any program Statements in Java must beterminated with a semi colon E g int a a CommentsJava supports three different comment styles single line end of line Multi line and Java documentation comments Single line End of Line Comments We use a double slash to note the beginning of a comment that automatically ends when the end of the line is reached E g x y z text of comment continues through to the end of the lineMulti line CommentsThese comments begin with a forward slash followed by an asterisk and end with an asterisk followed by a forward slash Everything enclosed between these delimiters is treated as a comment and is therefore ignored by the Javacompiler no matter how many lines the comment spans Java Documentation CommentsThe third and final type of Java comment Java documentation comments Javadoc comments can be parsed from source code files by a special javadoc command line utility program which comes standard with the Java SDK and used to automatically generate HTML documentation for an application Operators and ExpressionsAn expression is a statement that has a value Expressions are basically any math or logical operation s They consist of a sequence of operators and operands that specifies a computation E g x that assigns i e to variable x A simple expression in Java is eitherA constant a payment status false A char acter literal enclosed in single quotes grade A mark A String literal enclosed in double quotes f name Jeff l name Odhiambo The name of any properly declared variables myString x etcAny two of the preceding types of expression that are combined with one of the Java binary operators discussed in detail later in this chapter y x Any one of the preceding types of expression that is modified by one of the Java unary operators discussed in detail later in this chapter i Any of the preceding types of expression enclosed in parentheses x etc Expressions of arbitrary complexity can be assembled from the various different simple expression types by nesting parentheses for example x y z OperatorsOperators are symbols that specifies operations to be performed on operands Common operators include Assignment The assignment operator assigns a value to a variable a Arithmetic operators gt addition gt subtraction gt multiplication gt division gt moduloCompound assignment gt gt lt lt When we want to modify the value of a variable by performing an operation on the value currently stored in that variable we can use compound assignment operatorswhich include value increase gt value value increase a gt a a a b gt a a b price units gt price price units Increment and Decrement operatorsThe increment operator and the decrement operator increase or reduce by one the value stored in a variable They are equivalent to and to respectively Thus c c c c are all equivalent in its functionality Relational and equality operators gt lt gt lt These operators are used for comparison between two expressions The result of a relational operation is a Boolean value that can only be true or false according to its Boolean result We may want to compare two expressions for example to know if they are equal or if one is greater than the other is The relational and equality operators that can be used include gt Equal to gt Not equal to gt gt Greater than lt gt Less than gt gt Greater than or equal to lt gt Less than or equal toLogical operators amp amp The Operator Is used to perform the Boolean operation NOT it has only one operand located at its right and the only thing that it does is to inverse the value of it producing false if its operand is true and true if its operand is false The logical operators amp amp and are used when evaluating two expressions to obtain a single relational result The operator amp amp corresponds with Boolean logical operation AND This operation results true if both its two operands are true and false otherwise The operator corresponds with Boolean logical operation OR This operation results true if either one of its two operands is true thus being false only when both operands are false themselves Conditional operator The conditional operator evaluates an expression returning a value if that expression is true and a different one if the expression is evaluated as false Its format is condition result resultPrecedence of operatorsPrecedence of operators determines which operand is evaluated first and which oneis evaluated later For example in this expression a we may doubt if it really means a with a result of ora with a result of Types of expressions in Java Arithmetic expressionsA unary expression consists of either a unary operator prepended to an operand or the sizeof keyword followed by an expression A binary expression consists of two operands joined by a binary operator A ternary expression consists of three operands joined by the conditional expression operator The easiest example of an expression is in the assignment statement An expression is evaluated and the result is saved in a variable A simple example might look like y m x cThis assignment will save the value of the expression in variable y Short hand assignments Logical expressionsLogical connectors allow several comparisons to be combined into a single test They use And Or and Not operators They are frequently used to combine relational operators for example x lt amp amp x gt They evaluate their left hand operand and then only evaluate the right hand one if this is required Not operates on a single logical value its effect is to reverse its state Here is an example of its use boolean acceptable false if acceptable System out println Not acceptable Comparison ExpressionsComparison takes two numbers and produces a logical result Comparisons are usually found controlling if statements or loops ExampleNote that is used in comparisons and is used in assignments Comparison operators are used when creating comparisons expressions E g x yi gt a b c Object Class Abstract Polymorphism etcObject oriented programming takes advantage of our perception of world An object is an encapsulated completely specified data aggregate containing attributes and behavior Data hiding protects the implementation from interference by other objects and defines approved interface An object oriented program is a growing and shrinking collection of objects that interact via messages You can send the same message to similar objects the target decides how to implement or respond to a message at run time Objects with same characteristics are called instances of a class Benefits of object oriented programming include Troubleshooting is easy in OOP through modularityBenefit of code re usability through inheritanceData redundancy is reducedCode flexibility emphasis through polymorphismEffective problem solving Java ClassesA class is essentially an abstract data type that provides a template from which objects are created Class consists of a collection of data together with functions that operate on the data Data is referred to as data members and functions are referred to as member functions of a class By declaring a class we create a new data type that is as powerful as any of the basic types class syntaxclass lt classname gt body Exampleclass Student body Class data memberIn a class the members are by default hidden within the class and cannot be accessed from outside We say that the members of a class are declared private by default However if we want to we can declare members of a class to be public Syntaxclass lt classname gt lt data type gt lt variable name gt body Exampleclass Student String student name int marks Character grade body Class member functions methods Member functions of a class are also referred to as methods If we make the member data of our student class private we should provide functions to access the data for setting manipulating or printing Encapsulation and data hidingEncapsulation is the technique of making the fields in a class private and providing access to the fields via public methods If a field is declared private it cannot be accessed by anyone outside the class thereby hiding the fields within the class Encapsulation can be described as a protective barrier that prevents the code and data being randomly accessed by other code defined outside the class Access to the data and code is tightly controlled by an interface Encapsulation gives maintainability flexibility and extensibility to our code Data encapsulation led to the important OOP concept of data hiding Java Variable TypesIn Java all variables must be declared before they can be used The basic form of a variable declaration is shown here lt type gt lt identifier gt lt value gt e gString name Jeff Odhiambo The type is one of Java s data types The identifier is the name of the variable To declare more than one variable of the specified type use a comma separated list Java supports the following types of variables Local variablesLocal variables are declared in methods constructors or blocks Local variables are created when the method constructor or block is entered and the variable will be destroyed once it exits the method constructor or block Access modifiers cannot be used for local variables Local variables are visible only within the declared method constructor or block Local variables are implemented at stack level internally There is no default value for local variables so local variablesshould be declared and an initial value should be assigned before the first use Class static VariablesClass variables are shared by all the instances of the class Class variables also known as static variables are declared with the static keyword in a class but outside a method constructor or a block Class methods are not tied to a specific object There would only be one copy of each class variable per class regardless of how many objects are created from it Static variables are created when the program starts and destroyed when the program stops Static variables can be accessed by calling with the class name Syntax ClassName VariableName e g Math PI Constants Final Variables Any variable either member variable or local variable declared inside method or block modified by final keyword is called final variable Final variables are often declare with static keyword in java and treated as constant A final variable can only be initialized once either via an initializer or an assignment statement Class constants are final variables shared by all the instances of the class Class variables constants and methods are used with class name such as Math pow Math PI To declare class variables constants and methods use the static modifier When declaring class variables as public static final then variables names constants are all in upper case If the static variables are not public and finalthe naming syntax is the same as instance and local variables Exampleimport java io public class Employee salary variable is a private static variable private static double salary DEPARTMENT is a constant public static final String DEPARTMENT Development public static void main String args salary System out println DEPARTMENT average salary salary Instance variablesInstance variables are declared in a class but outside a method constructor or any block When a space is allocated for an object in the heap a slot for each instance variable value is created Instance variables are created when an object is created with the use of the key word new and destroyed when the object is destroyed Instance variables hold values that must be referenced by more than one method constructor or block or essential parts of an object s state that must be present throughout the class Instance variables can be declared in class level before or after use Access modifiers can be given for instance variables The instance variables are visible for all methods constructors and block in the class Normally it is recommended to make these variables private access level However visibility for sub classes can be given for these variables with the use of access modifiers Instance variables have default values For numbers the default value is for Booleans it is false and for object references it is null Values can be assigned during the declaration or within the constructor Instance variables can be accessed directly by calling the variable name inside the class However within static methods and different class when instance variables are given accessibility the should be called using the fully qualified name ObjectReference VariableName Scope of VariablesThe scope of instance and class variables is the entire class They can be declared anywhere inside a class They are global variables The scope of a local variable starts from its declaration and continues to the end of the block that contains the variable A local variable must be declared before it can be used E g Visibility Modifiers and Accessor MethodsBy default the class variable or data can be accessed by any function in the class in which they are declared Visibility modifiers include Public The class data or method is visible to any class in any package Private The data or methods can be accessed only by the declaring class Protected Accessor methods Setters and Getters Methods The getter and setter accessor methods are used to read and modify private properties in a class These methods are also called accessor methods The syntax for accessor methods is public class AccessorExample private String attribute public String getAttribute return attribute public void setAttribute String attribute this attribute attribute Java this KeywordThe keyword this in Java refers to the current class instance Within an instance method or a constructor this is a reference to the current object Therefore this can be used inside any method to refer to the current object You can refer to any member of the current object from within an instance method or a constructor by using this The keyword can also be used to call overloaded constructors Using this to access a shadowed fieldThe most common reason for using the this keyword is because a field is shadowed by a method or constructor parameter For example the Point class was written like thispublic class Point public int x public int y constructor public Point int a int b x a y b but it could have been written like this public class Point public int x public int y constructor public Point int x int y this x x this y y Each argument to the constructor shadows one of the object s fields ーinside the constructor x is a local copy of the constructor s first argument To refer to the Point field x the constructor must use this x Using this to call a Constructor from another constructorFrom within a constructor you can also use the this keyword to call another constructor in the same class Doing so is called an explicit constructor invocation Here s another Rectangle class with a different implementation from the one in the Objects section public class Rectangle private int x y private int width height public Rectangle this public Rectangle int width int height this width height public Rectangle int x int y int width int height this x x this y y this width width this height height This class contains a set of constructors Each constructor initializes some or all of the rectangle s member variables The constructors provide a default value for any member variable whose initial value is not provided by an argument Data encapsulationData encapsulation is a mechanism of bundling the data and the functions that use them Examplepublic class Student private String name private String idNum private int age public int getAge return age public String getName return name public String getIdNum return idNum public void setAge int newAge age newAge public void setName String newName name newName public void setIdNum String newId idNum newId Encapsulation using “this Examplepublic class Student private String name private String idNum private int age public int getAge return age public String getName return name public String getIdNum return idNum public void setAge int age this age age public void setName String name this name name public void setIdNum String idNum this idNum idNum Advantage of Encapsulation in Java and OOPSHere are few advantages of using Encapsulation while writing code in Java or any Object oriented programming language Encapsulated Code is more flexible and easy to change with new requirements Encapsulation in Java makes unit testing easy Encapsulation in Java allows you to control who can access what Encapsulation also helps to write immutable class in Java which are a good choice in multi threading environment Encapsulation reduce coupling of modules and increase cohesion inside a module because all piece of one thing are encapsulated in one place Encapsulation allows you to change one part of code without affecting other part of code Relationships among Classes AssociationAssociation is a relationship between two objects Association represents a general binary relationship that describes an activity between two classes The association relationship is a way of describing that a class knows about and holds a reference to another class You may be aware of one to one one to many many to one many to many all these words define an association between objects AggregationAggregation is a relationship between two classes that is best described as a has a and whole part relationship Aggregation models the relationship like has a part of owns and employed by When an object has a another object then you have got an aggregation between them Direction between them specifies which object contains the other object Aggregation is also called a “Has a relationship ExampleThere is an aggregation relationship between Student class and the Subject class public class Subject private String name public void setName String name this name name public String getName return name public class Student private Subject studyAreas new Subject Find more examples here CompositionComposition is restricted aggregation When an object contains the other object i e if the contained object cannot exist without the existence of container object then it is called composition Example A class contains students A student cannot exist without a class There exists composition between class and students AbstractionAbstraction is specifying the framework and hiding the implementation level information Concreteness will be built on top of the abstraction It gives you ablueprint to follow to while implementing the details Abstraction reduces the complexity by hiding low level details Example A wire frame model of a car GeneralizationGeneralization uses a “is a relationship from a specialization to the generalization class Common structure and behavior are used from the specialization to the generalized class At a very broader level you can understand this as inheritance Why I take the term inheritance is you can relate this term very well Example Consider there exists a class named Person A student is a person A faculty is a person Therefore here the relationship between student and person similarly faculty and person is generalization RealizationRealization is a relationship between the blueprint class and the object containing its respective implementation level details This object is said torealize the blueprint class In other words you can understand this as the relationship between the interface and the implementing class Example A particular model of a car GTB Fiorano that implements the blueprint of a car realizes the abstraction DependencyChange in structure or behavior of a class affects the other related class then there is a dependency between those two classes It need not be the same on the vice versa When one class contains the other class this happens Example Relationship between shape and circle is dependency Inheritance developed from Inheritance models the “is a relationship between two classes It is a mechanism where a new class is derived from an existing class In Java classes may inherit or acquire the non private properties and methods of other classes A class derived from another class is called a subclass whereasthe class from which a subclass is derived is called a super class A subclass can have only one super class whereas a super class may have one or more sub classes Any class in java that does not extend any other class implicitly extends Object class Therefore the java lang Object class is always at the top of any Class inheritance hierarchy In Java inheritance is used for two purposes Class inheritance create a new class as an extension of another class primarily for the purpose of code reuse That is the derived class inherits the public methods and public data of the base class Java only allows a class to have one immediate base class i e single class inheritance The keyword “extends is used to derive a subclass from the superclass as illustrated by the following syntax syntaxpublic class derived class name extends base class name derived class methods extend and possibly override those of the base class exampleclass A properties and methods of A class B extends A Class inheritance defines a is a relationship between a superclass and its subclasses Therefore inheritance is achieved at class level We can therefore define inheritance in java as mechanism is used to build new classes from existing classes For example public class Animal public class Mammal extends Animal public class Reptile extends Animal public class Dog extends Mammal In Object Oriented terms following are true Animal is the super class of Mammal class Animal is the super class of Reptile class Mammal and Reptile are sub classes of Animal class Dog is the subclass of both Mammal and Animal classes Now if we consider the IS A relationship we can say Mammal IS A AnimalReptile IS A AnimalDog IS A MammalHence Dog IS A Animal as wellWith use of extends keyword the sub classes will be able to inherit all the properties of the super class except for the private properties of the super class Below is a sample implementation of the Dog class public class Dog extends Mammal public static void main String args Animal a new Animal Mammal m new Mammal Dog d new Dog System out println m instanceof Animal Outputs true System out println d instanceof Mammal Outputs true System out println d instanceof Animal Outputs true The Boolean instanceof operator is used to determine whether Mammal is actually an Animal and dog is actually an Animal super keyword super is used for pointing the super class instance That is it is a reference variable that is used to refer immediate parent class object The keyword super will therefore be used when referring to the super class of an object Uses of super Keywordsuper is used to refer immediate parent class instance variable super is used to invoke immediate parent class constructor super is used to invoke immediate parent class method Using the super keyword to call immediate parent class constructorThe syntax for calling a super class constructor issuper or super parameter list NB In a constructor super MUST always be the first statement to appear Example class Vehicle Vehicle System out println Vehicle is created Void start System out println Vehicle is starting class Bike extends Vehicle Bike super will invoke parent class constructor System out println Bike is created public static void main String args Bike b new Bike Output Vehicle is createdBike is createdWith super the super class no argument constructor is called With super parameter list the super class constructor with a matching parameter list is called If accessing a method in super class we use the syntax super methodName argument s super start Method OverridingWhen a sub class defines a method that has same name signature and return type or compatible with return type of super class method it is called method overriding In object oriented terms overriding means to override the functionality of any existing method The benefit of overriding is ability to define a behavior that s specific to the sub class type Which means a subclass can implement a parent class method based on its requirement Consider the following exampleclass Animal public void move System out println Animals can move class Dog extends Animal public void move System out println Dogs can walk and run public class TestDog public static void main String args Animal a new Animal Animal reference and object Animal b new Dog Animal reference but Dog object a move runs the method in Animal class b move Runs the method in Dog class This would produce following result Animals can moveDogs can walk and runIn the above example you can see that the even though b is a type of Animal it runs the move method in the Dog class The reason for this is In compile time the check is made on the reference type However in the runtime JVM figures out the object type and would run the method that belongs to that particular object Therefore in the above example the program will compile properly since Animal class has the method move Then at the runtime it runs the method specific for that object Consider the following example class Animal public void move System out println Animals can move class Dog extends Animal public void move System out println Dogs can walk and run public void bark System out println Dogs can bark public class TestDog public static void main String args Animal a new Animal Animal reference and object Animal b new Dog Animal reference but Dog object a move runs the method in Animal class b move Runs the method in Dog class b bark This would produce following result TestDog java cannot find symbolsymbol method bark location class Animalb bark This program will throw a compile time error since b s reference type Animal doesn t have a method by the name of bark Using the super keyword to call overridden methodWhen invoking a super class version of an overridden method the super keyword is used class Animal public void move System out println Animals can move class Dog extends Animal public void move super move invokes the super class method System out println Dogs can walk and run public class TestDog public static void main String args Animal b new Dog Animal reference but Dog object b move Runs the method in Dog class This would produce following result Animals can moveDogs can walk and run Rules for method overriding The argument list should be exactly the same as that of the overridden method The return type should be the same or a sub type of the return type declared in the original overridden method in the super class The access level cannot be more restrictive than the overridden method s access level For example if the super class method is declared public then the overridding method in the sub class cannot be either private or protected Instance methods can be overridden only if they are inherited by the subclass A method declared final cannot be overridden A method declared static cannot be overridden but can be re declared If a method cannot be inherited then it cannot be overridden A subclass within the same package as the instance s superclass can override any superclass method that is not declared private or final A subclass in a different package can only override the non final methods declared public or protected An overriding method can throw any uncheck exceptions regardless of whether the overridden method throws exceptions or not However the overriding method should not throw checked exceptions that are new or broader than the ones declared by the overridden method The overriding method can throw narrower or fewer exceptions than the overridden method Constructors cannot be overridden Data abstractionAbstraction is the concept of object oriented programming that “shows only essential attributes and “hides unnecessary information The main purpose of abstraction is hiding the unnecessary details from the users The implementation details is hidded from the user Abstraction is achieved using either abstract classes or interfaces Class AbstractionClass abstraction means to separate class implementation from the use of the class The creator of the class provides a description of the class and let the user know how the class can be used The user of the class does not need to know how the class is implemented The detail of implementation is encapsulated and hidden from the user Abstract Classes and Abstract MethodsAn abstract class is a restricted class that cannot be used to create objects to access it it must be inherited from another class An abstract class leaves one or more method implementations unspecified by declaring one or more methods abstract An abstract can only be used as a super class for other classes thatextend the abstract class Abstract classes are declared with the abstract keyword Abstract classes are used to provide a template or design for concrete subclasses down the inheritance tree Abstract methods are methods with no body specification implementation Abstract methods can only be used in an abstract class and it does not have a body I e Abstract method would have no definition and its signature is followed by a semicolon not curly braces The body is provided by the subclass inherited from The abstract keyword is a non access modifier used for classes and methods The abstract keyword is used to declare a class or a method as abstract An abstract method consists of a method signature but no method body Exampleabstract class Shape public String color public Shape public void setColor String c color c public String getColor return color abstract public double area Note that If a class has at least one abstract method the class must be declared as abstract A subclass is therefore required to override the abstract method and provide an implementation Subclasses must provide the method statements for their particular meaning If the method was one provided by the superclass it would require overriding in each subclass Hence an abstract class is incomplete and cannot be instantiated but can be used as a base class The abstract class guarantees that each shape will have the same set of basic properties We declare this class abstract because there is no such thing as a generic shape There can only be concrete shapes such as squares circles triangles etc public class Point extends Shape static int x y public Point x y public double area return public double perimeter return public static void print System out println point x y public static void main String args Point p new Point p print Points to RememberAn abstract class must be declared with an abstract keyword It can have abstract and non abstract methods It cannot be instantiated It can have constructors and static methods also It can have final methods which will force the subclass not to change the body of the method InterfacesAn interface in Java is a blueprint of a class It consists of static constants and abstract methods In Java an interface is a mechanism to achieve abstraction There can be only abstract methods in a Java interface No need to include keyword abstract when declaring abstract methods in in interface Just like an abstract class an interface cannot be instantiated You can declare an interface in its own file like a class In such a case File name must be the same as the class name Java Interface also represents the IS A relationship Declaring InterfacesThe interface keyword is used to declare an interface Syntax interface lt interface name gt declare constant fields declare abstract methods Example File name Animal java interface Animal public void eat public void travel Implementing an interfaceClass inheritance in java uses the keyword extends To access the interface methods the interface must be implemented inherited by another class using the implements keyword instead of extends During implementation the body of each interface method is provided by the implementing class Syntax public class class name implements interface name class provides an implementation for the methods as specified by the interface Example interface Animal public void makeSound interface method does not have a body public void sleep interface method does not have a body Donkey implements the Animal interface class Donkey implements Animal public void makeSound The body of animalSound is provided here System out println The donkey says hee hoo public void sleep The body of sleep is provided here System out println Zzz public class DonkeyImpl public static void main String args Donkey dnk new Donkey Create a Donkey object dnk makeSound dnk sleep Why use Java interface There are mainly three reasons to use interface They are given below It is used to achieve abstraction By interface we can support the functionality of multiple inheritance It can be used to achieve loose coupling Interfaces are preferred to classes because they help us to to achieve abstraction as wellas multiple inheritance in Java Extending InterfacesAn interface can extend another interface in the same way that a class can extend another class The extends keyword is used to extend an interface and the childinterface inherits the methods of the parent interface Example Filename Sports javapublic interface Sports public void setHomeTeam String name public void setVisitingTeam String name Filename Football javapublic interface Football extends Sports public void homeTeamScored int points public void visitingTeamScored int points public void endOfQuarter int quarter Filename Hockey javapublic interface Hockey extends Sports public void homeGoalScored public void visitingGoalScored public void endOfPeriod int period public void overtimePeriod int ot Multiple Class Inheritance in JavaA class can extends ONLY one parent class using the extends keyword Multiple class inheritance is not allowed Class inheritance inheritance in java has the following limitations A subclass cannot inherit private members of its super class A subclass can have only one super class Constructor and initializer blocks cannot be inherited by a subclass Interfaces are not classes thus you are allowed to inherit one or more interfaces Multiple inheritance by interface occurs if a class implements multiple interfaces or also if an interface itself extends multiple interfaces Extending Multiple InterfacesTo achieve multiple inheritance java allows you to implement more than one parent interfaces by declaring them in a comma separated list E g public interface Hockey extends Sports EventNote that an interface can extend more than one parent interface Difference between Abstraction and Encapsulation Difference between Abstract Class and Interface Polymorphism in JavaPolymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms In OOP polymorphism is the capability of an action or method to do different things based on the object that it is acting upon This is the third basic principle of object oriented programming Polymorphism in Java has two types Compile time polymorphism static binding and Runtime polymorphism dynamic binding Compile time Static polymorphismA static polymorphism is one which method binds at compile time also known as Compile time or static polymorphism Static polymorphism is achieved through method function overloading or operator overloading But Java doesn t support the Operator Overloading Overloaded methodsWhen there are multiple functions methods with same name but different parameters implementation then these functions are said to be overloaded Thus functions can be overloaded by change in number of arguments or and change in type of arguments These overloaded methods have same name signature but either a different number of parameters or different types in the parameter list Overloaded methods Appear in the same class or a subclass Have the same name but Have different parameter lists Can have different return types At compile time Java knows which method to invoke by checking the method signatures So this is called compile time polymorphism or static binding The concept will be clear from the following example class DemoOverload public int add int x int y method return x y public int add int x int y int z method return x y z public int add double x int y method return int x y public int add int x double y method return x int y class Test public static void main String args DemoOverload demo new DemoOverload System out println demo add method System out println demo add method System out println demo add method System out println demo add method Constructor Overloading Constructor overloading is a technique in Java in which a class can have any number of constructors that differ in parameter lists The compiler differentiates these constructors by taking into account the number of parameters in the list and their type class Room double length breadth height Room double l double b double h length l breadth b height h Room length breadth height Room double len length breadth height len double volume return length breadth height class OverloadConstructors public static void main String args Room a new Room Room b new Room Room c new Room double vol vol a volume System out println Volume of room a is vol vol b volume System out println Volume of room b is vol vol c volume System out println Volume of room c is vol Limitation Poor utilization of memory resource main memory Dynamic Run Time Polymorphism It is a process in which a function call to the overridden method is resolved at Runtime This type of polymorphism is achieved by Method Overriding Run time polymorphism occurs when a sub class overrides a particular method of the super class Dynamic Binding Late Binding When a method is invoked the code to be executed is only determined at run time During the compilation the compiler checks whether the method exists and performs type check on the arguments and return type but does not know which piece of codes to execute at run time When a message is sent to an object to invoke a method the object figures out which piece of codes to execute at run time This mechanism is called dynamic binding or late binding or run time binding In polymorphism Dynamic or late method binding is the ability of a program to resolve references to subclass methods at runtime Overridden MethodsOverridden methods are methods of a super class that are redefined defined again within a subclass In Java you can create a method in a superclass or parent class then in a subclass ALSO define thatmethod class Vehicle public void move System out println Vehicles can move class MotorBike extends Vehicle public void move System out println MotorBike can move and accelerate too class Test public static void main String args Vehicle vh new MotorBike vh move prints MotorBike can move and accelerate too vh new Vehicle vh move prints Vehicles can move It should be noted that in the first call to move the reference type is Vehicle and the object being referenced is MotorBike So when a call to move is made Java waits until runtime to determinewhich object is actually being pointed to by the reference In this case the object is of the class MotorBike So the move method of MotorBike class will be called In the second call to move the object is of the class Vehicle So the move method of Vehicle will be called As the method to call is determined at runtime this is called dynamic binding or late binding Overriding applies ONLY to inherited methods is related to polymorphismobject type NOT reference variable type determines which overridden method will be used at runtimeoverriding method MUST have the same argument list if not it might be a case of overloading overriding method MUST have the same return type the exception is covariant return used as of Java which returns a type that is a subclass of what is returned by the overridden methodoverriding method MUST NOT have more restrictive access modifier but MAY have less restrictive oneoverriding method MUST NOT throw new or broader checked exceptions but MAY throw fewer or narrower checked exceptions or any unchecked exceptionsabstract methods MUST be overriddenfinal methods CANNOT be overriddenstatic methods CANNOT be overriddenconstructors CANNOT be overridden Upcasting amp DowncastingUpcasting a Subclass Instance to a Superclass ReferenceSubstituting a subclass instance for its superclass is called upcasting This is because in a UML class diagram subclass is often drawn below its superclass Upcasting is always safe because a subclass instance possesses all the properties of its superclass and can do whatever its superclass can do The compiler checks for valid upcasting and issues error incompatible types otherwise For example Circle c new Cylinder Compiler checks to ensure that R value is a subclass of L valueCircle c new String Compilation error incompatible typesDowncasting a Substituted Reference to Its Original ClassYou can revert a substituted instance back to a subclass reference This is called downcasting Forexample Cycle c new Cylinder upcast is safeCylinder aCylinder Cylinder c downcast needs the casting operatorDowncasting requires explicit type casting operator in the form of prefix operator new type Downcasting is not always safe and throws a runtime ClassCastException if the instance to be downcasted does not belong to the correct subclass A subclass object can be substituted for its superclass but the reverse is not true Compiler may not be able to detect error in explicit cast which will be detected only at runtime For example Circle c new Circle Point p new Point c p compilation error incompatible types Point is not subclass of Circle c Circle p runtime error java lang ClassCastException Point cannot be casted to CircleThe instanceof OperatorJava provides a binary operator called instanceof which returns true if an object is an instance of a particular class The syntax is as follows anObjectinstanceofaClassCircle c new Circle System out println c instanceof Circle trueif c instanceof Cirlce body An instance of subclass is also an instance of its superclass For example Circle c new Circle Cylinder cy new Cylinder System out println c instanceof Circle trueSystem out println c instanceof Cylinder falseSystem out println cy instanceof Cylinder trueSystem out println cy instanceof Circle trueCircle c new Cylinder System out println c instanceof Circle trueSystem out println c instanceof Cylinder true Summary The method binding happens at the compile time i e which methods can be invoked on a given reference type is decided at the compile time The selection of the method s implementation to execute happens at the run time i e which implementation of the method to be executed i e the super class version or one of the subclass s version is decided at the run time and this is what leads to the runtime polymorphism An object in Java that passes more than one IS A tests is polymorphic in natureStatic polymorphism in Java is achieved by method overloadingDynamic polymorphism in Java is achieved by method overriding A package can be defined as a group of similar types of classes interface enumeration and sub package Enumerations and annotation types are special kinds of classes and interfaces Packages provide access protection and name space management in a java program Therefore a package provides a mechanism for organizing Java classes into namespaces similar to the modules in VB Packages are used in Java in order to prevent naming conflicts to control access to make searching locating and usage of classes interfaces enumerations and annotations easier etc Using package it becomes easier to locate the related classes Package are categorized into two forms Built in Package Existing Java package for example java lang and java utilUser defined package Java package created by user to categorize source files Built in PackagesThese packages consist of a large number of classes which are a part of Java API Some of the commonly used built in packages are java lang Contains language support classes e g classed which defines primitive data types math operations This package is automatically imported java io Contains classed for supporting input output operations java util Contains utility classes which implement data structures like Linked List Dictionary and support for Date Time operations java applet Contains classes for creating Applets java awt Contain classes for implementing the components for graphical user interfaces like button menus etc java net Contain classes for supporting networking operations And many others User defined packagesProgrammers can define their own packages to bundle group of classes interfaces etc It is a good practice to group related classes implemented by you so that a programmers can easily determine that the classes interfaces enumerations annotations are related Since the package creates a new namespace there won t be any name conflicts with names in other packages Using packages it is easier to provide access control and it is also easier to locate the related classed To set up the programmer defined packages for general reuse not just use by the programs in the same folder we have to perform the following tasks Include the statementpackage myutil as the first statement of the source file for the Fraction class The class declaration must include the visibility modifier public as public class Fraction Create a folder named myutil the same name as the package name In Java the package must have a one to one correspondence with the folder Place the modified Fraction class into the myutil folder and compile it Modify the CLASSPATH environment variable to include the folder that contains the myutil folder Creating a packageTo group classes into a package each class must have a package statement defined at the top of a java file It lets the compiler know which package the class belongs to and must be the first line of code The syntax for defining a package is package lt package name gt NB A package name is a fully qualified variable name e g package diploma students To create your own package you need to understand that Java uses a file system directory to store them Just like folders on your computer Java Package Names and Directory StructureOrganizing classes in a program can take multiple levels so that each package can have as many sub packages as needed The Java Package name consists of words separated by periods The first part of the name represents the organization which created the package The remaining words of the Java Package name reflect the contents of the package The Java Package name also reflects its directory structure The period is used to distinguish the package and sub package The period is placed in between the package names E g package university college department courseThe first part of that package name university represents the organization that developed the package The second part of the package name college stands for the contents of the package in this case the department and lastly the course offered by a given department The import KeywordImport keyword is used to import built in and user defined packages into your java source file Packages allow your class to refer to a class that is in another package by directly using its name There are different ways to refer to class that is present in different package Using fully qualified name which is not a good practise Exampleclass myDate extends java util Date body Import the only class you needExampleimport java util Date class myDate extends Date body Import all classes from a particular packageExampleimport java util class myDate extends Date body Importing a Class from an Existing Java Package using the import Keyword If a class wants to use another class in the same package the package name does not need to be used Classes in the same package find each other without any special syntax If a class in one package uses details of another class in different package the class to be used MUST be included in current class using the import statement E g import javax swing JOptionPane Note The import statement is terminated with a semicolon How to access Package from another packageThere are three ways to access the package from outside the package import package import package classname fully qualified name Using packagename If you use package then all the classes and interfaces of this package will be accessible but not sub packages The import keyword is used to make the classes and interface of another package accessible to the current package Static importStatic import is a feature that extends the capabilities of import keyword It is used to import static member of a class We will know that static member are referred in association with its class name outside the class Using static import its possible to refer to the static member directly without its class name The general form of static statement are The first form of static import statement import only a single static member of a class Syntax import static package class name static member nameExample import static java lang Math sqrt importing static method sqrt of Math class Second form of static import statement imports all the static member of a class Syntax import static package class type name Example import static java lang Math importing all static method of Math class Example without using static importpublic class Test public static void main String args System out println Math sqrt Output Example using static importimport static java lang Math public class Test public static void main String args System out println sqrt Handling name conflictsThe only time we need to pay attention to packages is when we have a name conflict For example both java util and java sql packages have a class namedDate So if we import both packages in program as follows import java util import java sql And then use Date class then we will get a compile time error Date today ERROR java util Date or java sql Date The compiler will not be able to figure out which Date class do we want This problem can be solved by using a specific import statement import java util Date import java sql If we need both Date classes then we need to use a full package name every time we declare a new object of that class For Example java util Date deadLine new java util Date java sql Date today new java sql Date How to compile the Package if not using IDE If you are not using any IDE you need to follow the syntax given below javac d lt directory or dot operator gt lt javafilename gt For examplejavac d Simple javaThe d switch specifies the destination where to put the generated class file You can use any directory name like home in case of Linux d abc in case of windows etc If you want to keep the package within the same directory you can use dot For more visit Java Installation How to run the Package if not using IDE You need to use fully qualified name e g mypack Simple etc to run the class To Compile javac d Simple javaThe d is a switch that tells the compiler where to put the class file i e it represents destination The represents the current folder This marks the end of the Java for beginners You can learn more about Java through the urls below Hope you gained
