Socket (TCP & UDP) communication in Java

Socket communication in Java enables communication between two endpoints over a network. There are two main types of sockets: TCP sockets and UDP sockets. Let's explain both types with examples: TCP Socket Communication: 1. **Server Side**:    - The server creates a `ServerSocket` object to listen for incoming connections on a specific port.    - When a client connects, the server accepts the connection and creates a `Socket` object to communicate with the client.    - The server reads from and writes to the socket's input and output streams to communicate with the client. import java.io.*; import java.net.*; public class TCPServer {     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {         ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(12345);         System.out.println("Server started. Waiting for client...");         Socket clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();         System.out.println("Client connected.");         BufferedReader in = new Bu

Arrays in Java

Arrays in Java are used to store a collection of elements of the same data type. They provide a convenient way to group related data. Here's an overview of arrays in Java:


Declaration and Initialization:


1. One-Dimensional Array:

   - An array with a single row.


   // Declaration

   dataType[] arrayName;


   // Initialization

   dataType[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};



2. Multi-Dimensional Array:

   - An array with multiple rows and columns.


   // Declaration

   dataType[][] multiArray;


   // Initialization

   int[][] matrix = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}};



 Accessing Array Elements:


1. One-Dimensional Array:

   - Access elements using their index.


   int[] numbers = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};

   int firstElement = numbers[0];  // Accessing the first element.


2. Multi-Dimensional Array:

   - Access elements using row and column indices.


   int[][] matrix = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}};

   int element = matrix[1][2];  // Accessing the element in the second row, third column.



Array Length:

   - The `length` property is used to get the size of an array.


   int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

   int arrayLength = numbers.length;  // Gets the length of the array.



Iterating Through Arrays:


1. For Loop:

   - Used for iterating through the elements of an array.


   int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

   for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {

       System.out.println(numbers[i]);

   }


2. Enhanced For Loop:

   - A concise way to iterate through all elements of an array.


   int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

   for (int num : numbers) {

       System.out.println(num);

   }



Arrays in Methods:

   - Arrays can be passed as parameters to methods.


   void printArray(int[] arr) {

       for (int num : arr) {

           System.out.println(num);

       }

   }



Array Manipulation:

   - Arrays provide methods to sort, search, and manipulate elements.


   int[] numbers = {5, 2, 8, 1, 7};

   Arrays.sort(numbers);  // Sort the array in ascending order.

   int index = Arrays.binarySearch(numbers, 2);  // Search for the element 2.


Arrays in Java offer flexibility and are an essential part of data structures. They provide an efficient way to organize and manage data in various applications. Understanding how to declare, initialize, and manipulate arrays is fundamental for Java developers.

Method Overloading in Java

Method Overloading in Java Method Overloading  is a feature in Java that allows a class to have multiple methods with the same name but different parameter lists. The methods can have a different number or types of parameters. The decision on which method to invoke is made by the compiler based on the arguments provided during the method call.  Example: public class Calculator {     // Method to add two integers     public int add(int a, int b) {         return a + b;     }     // Method to add three integers     public int add(int a, int b, int c) {         return a + b + c;     }     // Method to add two doubles     public double add(double a, double b) {         return a + b;     }     // Method to concatenate two strings     public String concatenate(String str1, String str2) {         return str1 + str2;     } } Method Overloading in Action: public class Main {     public static void main(String[] args) {         Calculator calculator = new Calculator();         // Overloaded meth

Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

Definition : Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is a set of software tools and libraries that enables the execution of Java applications. It provides the necessary runtime support for Java programs to run on various devices and platforms. Components of Java Runtime Environment (JRE): Java Virtual Machine (JVM): Definition: The JVM is a crucial component of the JRE responsible for executing Java bytecode. Functionality: It interprets Java bytecode or, in some cases, uses Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation to translate bytecode into native machine code for improved performance. Importance: JVM abstracts the underlying hardware, allowing Java programs to be platform-independent. Class Libraries: Definition: JRE includes a set of precompiled classes and methods that Java applications can utilize. Functionality: These classes cover a wide range of functionalities, from basic data structures to networking. Importance: Class libraries provide a foundation for developers, offering reusable code
