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();   ...

Nested Class

 Nested Class:

- A nested class is a class that is defined within another class.

- It can be static or non-static and can access the members of the enclosing class.

- Nested classes are mainly used to logically group classes that are only used in one place or for better encapsulation and organization of code.


Example:

class Outer {

    private int outerVar;


    class Inner {

        void display() {

            System.out.println("Inner class method, outerVar = " + outerVar);

        }

    }

}


Explanation:

In the example above, the Inner class is nested within the Outer class. It has access to the private member `outerVar` of the Outer class.


Sample Use:

Nested classes are commonly used in scenarios where a class is only relevant within the context of another class. For example, in GUI programming, a Button class might be nested within a Window class because it only makes sense to have buttons within a window.


Analogy:

Imagine a company (Outer class) with various departments. Each department (Inner class) has its own set of employees and resources but operates under the umbrella of the company. Similarly, nested classes operate within the scope of the enclosing class but have their own functionalities and characteristics.

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 ...
