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();   ...

Class, Object, Object Reference, Method and Constructor in Java

Class, Object, Object Reference, Method, and Constructor in Java

Class:


In Java, a class is a blueprint or template that defines the structure and behavior of objects. It acts as a template for creating objects, encapsulating data (attributes) and methods (functions) that operate on that data.


Syntax:


public class ClassName {
    // Attributes
    dataType attributeName;

    // Constructor
    public ClassName(parameters) {
        // Initialization code
    }

    // Methods
    returnType methodName(parameters) {
        // Method body
    }
}


Object:


An object is an instance of a class. It is a concrete realization of the class blueprint, possessing its own unique state (attributes) and behavior (methods). Objects represent real-world entities and are created based on the class template.

Object Creation:


ClassName objectName = new ClassName(arguments);


Method:


A method is a function defined within a class that performs a specific task or action. It represents the behavior associated with the class. Methods are called on objects to manipulate their data or perform certain operations.

### Syntax:


returnType methodName(parameters) {
    // Method body
}



Object Reference:

An object reference is a variable that stores the memory address of an object. When you create an object, you use the new keyword, and an object reference is assigned to the created object. This reference is used to access and manipulate the object.

Example:

ClassName obj1 = new ClassName(arguments);
ClassName obj2 = obj1; // obj2 now references the same object as obj1



Constructor:


A constructor is a special method with the same name as the class, used to initialize the attributes of an object when it is created. It is called automatically when an object is instantiated.


Syntax:


public ClassName(parameters) {
    // Initialization code
}


Example:


public class Car {
    // Attributes
    String make;
    String model;
    int year;

    // Constructor
    public Car(String make, String model, int year) {
        this.make = make;
        this.model = model;
        this.year = year;
    }

    // Method
    void displayInfo() {
        System.out.println("Make: " + make);
        System.out.println("Model: " + model);
        System.out.println("Year: " + year);
    }
}

Object Creation and Method Invocation:

// Creating an Object
Car myCar = new Car("Toyota", "Camry", 2022);

// Accessing Attributes
String carMake = myCar.make;
int carYear = myCar.year;

// Invoking Method
myCar.displayInfo();


Understanding classes, objects, methods, and constructors is essential for effective object-oriented programming in Java. These concepts provide a structured way to model and interact with real-world entities in software development.

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) {         ...

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 ...
