Java Basics:-
History of java:-
 Java was developed by
✓ James Gosling,
✓ Patrik Naughton,
✓ Chris Warth,
✓ Ed Frank, and
✓ Mike Sheridan
at Sun Microsystems, Inc in 1991.
History of Java
 Java started out as a research project.
 Research began in 1991 as the Green Project at Sun

Microsystems, Inc.
 Research efforts birthed a new language, OAK. ( A tree outside

of the window of James Gosling’s office at Sun).
 Java is available as jdk and it is an open source s/w.

History of Java (contd…)
Language was created with 5 main goals:
➢ It should be object oriented.
➢ A single representation of a program could be executed on
multiple operating systems. (i.e. write once, run anywhere)
➢ It should fully support network programming.
➢ It should execute code from remote sources securely.
➢ It should be easy to use.
 Oak was renamed Java in 1995.
 Now Sun Microsystems is a subsidiary of Oracle

Corporation.

Java Platforms
There are three main platforms for Java:
 Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition) – runs on desktops

and laptops.
 Java ME (Java Platform, Micro Edition) – runs on mobile

devices such as cell phones.
 Java EE (Java Platform, Enterprise Edition) – runs on servers.

Java Terminology
Java Development Kit:
It contains one (or more) JRE's along with the various
development tools like the Java source compilers, bundling and
deployment tools, debuggers, development libraries, etc.
Java Virtual Machine:

An abstract machine architecture specified by the Java Virtual
Machine Specification.
It interprets the byte code into the machine code depending

upon the underlying OS and hardware combination. JVM is
platform dependent. (It uses the class libraries, and other
supporting files provided in JRE)
Java Terminology (contd…)
➢ Java Runtime Environment:
A runtime environment which implements Java Virtual
Machine, and provides all class libraries and other
facilities necessary to execute Java programs. This is the
software on your computer that actually runs Java
programs.
JRE = JVM + Java Packages Classes (like util, math,

lang, awt, swing etc) +runtime libraries.

➢ Java is a pure oop or not ?
By default java is not pure object oriented language.
Java is called as Hybrid language.
Pure oop languages are “small talk”, ”ruby”, “Eiffel”.

Buzzwords of Java
➢ Simple
➢ Object oriented
➢ Interpreted and High Performance
➢ Portable
➢ Robust
➢ Secure
➢ Multithreaded
➢ Dynamic
➢ Distributed
➢ Architecture-Neutral
Java Features (1)
 Simple
 fixes some clumsy features of C++
 no pointers
 automatic garbage collection
 rich pre-defined class library
 Object oriented
 focus on the data (objects) and methods manipulating the data
 all functions are associated with objects
 almost all datatypes are objects (files, strings, etc.)
 potentially better code organization and reuse
Java Features (2)
 Interpreted and High Performance
 java compiler generate byte-codes, not native machine
code
 the compiled byte-codes are platform-independent
 java bytecodes are translated on the fly to machine
readable instructions in runtime (Java Virtual Machine)
 easy to translate directly into native machine code by
using a just-in-time compiler.
 Portable
 same application runs on all platforms
 the sizes of the primitive data types are always the same
 the libraries define portable interfaces
Java Features (3)
 Robust
 extensive compile-time and runtime error checking
 no pointers but real arrays. Memory corruptions or
unauthorized memory accesses are impossible
 automatic garbage collection tracks objects usage over
time
 Secure
 usage in networked environments requires more security
 memory allocation model is a major defense
 access restrictions are forced (private, public)
Java Features (4)
 Multithreaded
 multiple concurrent threads of executions can run
simultaneously
 utilizes a sophisticated set of synchronization
primitives (based on monitors and condition
variables paradigm) to achieve this
Java Features (5)
 Dynamic
 java is designed to adapt to evolving environment
 libraries can freely add new methods and instance
variables without any effect on their clients
 interfaces promote flexibility and reusability in code
by specifying a set of methods an object can perform,
but leaves open how these methods should be
implemented
 can check the class type in runtime
Java Features (6)
 Distributed
 Java is designed for the distributed environment of
the Internet, because it handles TCP/IP protocols.
 Allows objects on two different computers to
execute procedures remotely by using package called
Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
 Architecture-Neutral
 Goal of java designers is “write once; run anywhere,
any time, forever.”
Byte Code
 Bytecode is a highly optimized set of instructions

designed to be executed by the Java run-time system,
which is called the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
 The JVM is an interpreter for bytecode.

 User-defined Type
Data Types
Simple Type Derived Type User Defined Type

E.g: Array, String…
Numeric Type Non-Numeric class Interface
Integer Float Char Boolean
float double
byte short int long

integer types
➢ Java does not support unsigned, positive-only integers.

➢ All are signed, positive and negative values.
Name Width Range

long 64 –9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to
9,223,372,036,854,775,807
int 32 –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
short 16 –32,768 to 32,767
byte 8 –128 to 127
 byte
 The smallest integer type is byte.
 Variables of type byte are especially useful while working with
a stream of data from a network or file.
 Byte variables are declared by use of the byte keyword.
 Ex:-
byte b, c;
Floating-Point Types
➢ There are two kinds of floating-point types.

➢ All math functions, such as sin( ), cos( ), and sqrt( ), return double values.
Name Width in Bits Approximate Range
double 64 4.9e–324 to 1.8e+308

float 32 1.4e−045 to 3.4e+038
Characters
 char in Java is not the same as char in C or C++.
 In C/C++, char is an integer type that is 8 bits wide.
 Java uses Unicode to represent characters.
 Unicode defines a fully international character set that can represent all
of the characters found in all human languages.
 It is a unification of dozens of character sets, such as Latin, Greek,
Arabic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Katakana, Hangul, and many more.
 Hence it requires 16 bits.
 The range of a char in java is 0 to 65,536.
 There are no negative chars.
Booleans
➢ It can have only one of two possible values, true or false.

➢ This is the type returned by all relational operators, such
as a < b.
Variables
➢ The variable is the basic unit of storage in a Java program.
➢ A variable is defined by the combination of an identifier, a type, and an optional
initializer.
Declaring a Variable
➢ In Java, all variables must be declared before they can be used.
type identifier [ = value][, identifier [= value] ...] ;

The Scope and Lifetime of Variables
Scope
The scope of a declared element is the portion of the program where the element is
visible.
Lifetime
The lifetime of a declared element is the period of time during which it is alive.
➢ Java allows variables to be declared within any block.

➢ A block begins with an opening curly brace and ends by a closing curly brace.
.
➢ A block defines a scope Thus, each time you start a new block, you are creating a new scope.
Contd..
➢ In Java, there are major scopes which are defined by a class and a method.
Scopes defined by a method
➢ The scope defined by a method begins with its opening curly brace and ends with closing curly brace.
➢ Scopes can be nested.
➢ Objects declared in the outer scope will be visible to code within the
inner scope. The reverse is not true.
➢ Objects declared within the inner scope will not be visible outside it.
public class Scope
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int x; //know to all code within main
x=10;
if(x==10)
{ // starts new scope
int y=20; //Known only to this block
//x and y both known here

System.out.println("x and y: "+x+" "+y);
x=y+2;
}
// y=100; // error ! y not known here
//x is still known here
System.out.println("x is "+x);
}
}
Operators
Arithmetic Operators
Operator Result
+ Addition
– Subtraction (also unary minus)
* Multiplication
/ Division
% Modulus
++ Increment
+= Addition assignment
–= Subtraction assignment
*= Multiplication assignment
/= Division assignment
%= Modulus assignment
–– Decrement
➢ The operands of the arithmetic operators must be of a numeric
type.
➢ You cannot use them on boolean types, but you can use them on
char types.
➢ No fractional component attached to the result, when the division
operator is applied to an integer type.
➢ The modulus operator, %, returns the remainder of a division
operation. It can be applied to floating-point types as well as
integer types.
➢
 Ex:- int x = 42;
 double y = 42.25;
 x mod 10 = 2
 y mod 10 = 2.25
➢
// Demonstrate the basic arithmetic operators.
class BasicMath {
public static void main(String args[]) {
// arithmetic using integers
System.out.println("Integer Arithmetic");
int a = 1 + 1;
int b = a * 3;
int c = b / 4;
int d = c - a;
int e = -d;
System.out.println("a = " + a);
System.out.println("b = " + b);
System.out.println("c = " + c);
System.out.println("d = " + d);
System.out.println("e = " + e);
// arithmetic using doubles
System.out.println("\nFloating Point Arithmetic");
double da = 1 + 1;
double db = da * 3;
double dc = db / 4;
double dd = dc - a;
double de = -dd;
System.out.println("da = " + da);
System.out.println("db = " + db);
System.out.println("dc = " + dc);
System.out.println("dd = " + dd);
System.out.println("de = " + de);
}
}
/ Demonstrate ++ and --.
class IncDec {
int a = 1;
int b = 2;
int c;
int d;
c = ++b;
d = a++;
c++;
System.out.println("c = " + c);
System.out.println("d = " + d);
}
}
Relational Operators
➢ The relational operators determine the relationship that one

operand has to the other.
➢ They determine equality and ordering.
➢ Operator Result
 == Equal to
 != Not equal to
 > Greater than
 < Less than
 >= Greater than or equal to
 <= Less than or equal to
 Note :-
 int done;
 // ...
 if(!done) ... // Valid in C/C++
 if(done) ... // but not in Java.
 In Java, these statements must be written like this:


 if(done == 0)) ... // This is Java-style.
 if(done != 0) ...
➢ In C/C++, true is any nonzero value and false is zero.

➢ In Java, true and false are nonnumeric values which do not relate to zero or
nonzero.
Boolean Logical operators
➢ The Boolean logical operators operate only on boolean operands.
➢ All of the binary logical operators combine two boolean values to form a resultant
boolean value.
 Operator Result
 & Logical AND
 | Logical OR
 ^ Logical XOR (exclusive OR)
 || Short-circuit OR
 && Short-circuit AND
 ! Logical unary NOT
 &= AND assignment
 |= OR assignment
 ^= XOR assignment
 == Equal to
 != Not equal to
 ?: Ternary if-then-else
The Assignment Operator
➢ The assignment operator is the single equal sign, =.

 var = expression;
➢ Here, the type of var must be compatible with the type of expression.
➢ It allows you to create a chain of assignments.

 int x, y, z;
 x = y = z = 100; // set x, y, and z to 100
The Bitwise Operators
➢ Java defines several bitwise operators which can be applied to the integer
types, long,int, short, char, and byte.
➢ These operators act upon the individual bits of their operands.
➢ Operator Result
 ~ Bitwise unary NOT
 & Bitwise AND
 | Bitwise OR
 ^ Bitwise exclusive OR
 >> Shift right
 >>> Shift right zero fill
 << Shift left
 &= Bitwise AND assignment
 |= Bitwise OR assignment
Cotnd..
 ^= Bitwise exclusive OR assignment
 >>= Shift right assignment
 >>>= Shift right zero fill assignment
 <<= Shift left assignment
The ? Operator
 General form:
 expression1 ? expression2 : expression3 ;
➢ Here, expression1 can be any expression that evaluates to a

boolean value. If expression1 is true, then expression2 is
evaluated; otherwise, expression3 is evaluated.
// Demonstrate ?.
class Ternary {
int i, k;
i = 10;
k = i < 0 ? -i : i; // get absolute value of i
System.out.print("Absolute value of ");
System.out.println(i + " is " + k);
i = -10;
k = i < 0 ? -i : i; // get absolute value of i
System.out.print("Absolute value of ");
System.out.println(i + " is " + k);
}
}
Operator Precedence
Control Statements
 Java’s control statements can be put into the following

categories:
➢ selection
➢ iteration
➢ jump
Java’s Selection Statements
 Java supports two selection statements:
➢ if ( condition )
▪ Same as in c/c++.
▪ The condition is any expression that returns a boolean value.
➢ Switch( expression )
▪ Same as in c/c++.
▪ The expression must be of type byte, short, int, or char;
▪ Each of the values specified in the case statements must be of a type
compatible with the expression.
➢
// Demonstrate if-else-if statements.
class IfElse {
int month = 4; // April
String season;
if(month == 12 || month == 1 || month == 2)

season = "Winter";
else if(month == 3 || month == 4 || month == 5)
season = "Spring";
season = "Summer";
season = "Autumn";
else
season = "Bogus Month";
System.out.println("April is in the " + season + ".");

}
}
class Switch {
int month = 4;
String season;
switch (month) {
case 12:
case 1:
case 2:
season = "Winter";
break;
case 3:
case 4:
case 5:
season = "Spring";
break;
case 6:
case 7:
case 8:
season = "Summer";
break;
case 9:
case 10:
case 11:
season = "Autumn";
break;
default:
season = "Bogus Month";
}
System.out.println("April is in the " + season + ".");
}
}
Iteration Statements
➢ Java’s iteration statements are
▪ for
▪ while
▪ do-while.
➢ Syntax is similar to c/c++.

➢ The condition is any expression that returns a boolean value.
Jump Statements
 Java supports three jump statements:
▪ 1. break
▪ Using break to Exit a Loop
▪ break;
▪ Using break as a Form of Goto

▪
▪ label :
▪ ----
▪ ----
▪ break label;
Class Break
{
{
boolean t=true;
first:{
second:{
third:{
System.out.println(“Before the break”);
if(t)
break second;
System.out.println(“This wont execute”);
}
System.out.println(“This wont execute”);
}
System.out.println(“This is after second block”);
}
}
}
▪ 2. continue
▪ Similar to c/c++
▪ 3. return
▪ The return statement is used to explicitly return from a method.
▪ It transfers control back to the caller of the method.
Type Conversion and Casting
 type conversion, typecasting, refers to different ways

of, implicitly or explicitly, changing an entity of one data type
into another
 Types of Conversions:
 1.Widening conversion
 2.Narrowing conversion
 When one type of data is assigned to another type of
variable, an automatic type conversion will take place if the
following two conditions are met:
▪ The two types are compatible.

▪ The destination type is larger than the source type.
▪ When these two conditions are met, a widening conversion takes place.
➢ For widening conversions, the numeric types, including integer,
floating-point, and double types, are compatible with each other.
➢ Ex:
➢ int a=10;
➢ double b=a;
➢ However, there are no automatic conversion from the numeric types to

char or boolean
➢ Also, char and boolean are not compatible with each other.
 The widening conversion is permitted in the following
cases:
 byte to short, int, long, float, or double
 Short to int, long, float, or double
 char to int, long, float, or double
 int to long, float, or double
 long to float or double
 float to double
import java.io.*;
public class Widening{
public static void main(String args[]){
short s;
int i1,i2;
byte b1=10,b2=20;
System.out.println(“byte to short conversion");

s=b1;
System.out.println(s);
System.out.println(“byte to int conversion");

i1=b2;
System.out.println(i1);
//char to int
char c='a';
System.out.println(“char to int conversion");
i2=c;
System.out.println(i2);
}
}
 The narrowing conversion occurs from a type to a different
type that has a smaller size, such as from a long (64 bits) to
an int (32 bits).
 In general, the narrowing primitive conversion can occur in
these cases:
 short to byte or char
 char to byte or short
 int to byte, short, or char
 long to byte, short, or char
 float to byte, short, char, int, or long
 double to byte, short, char, int, long, or float
 The narrowing primitive conversion must be explicit.
 You need to specify the target type in parentheses.
➢ it is still possible to obtain a conversion between incompatible types.
➢ Cast keyword / operator will be used to perform conversion between
incompatible types.
➢ General form:
➢ ( target-type ) value;
 public class Narrowing
 {
 public static void main(String args[])
 {
 byte b;
 int i=257;
 double d=323.142;
 System.out.println("int to byte conversion");

 b= (byte)i;
 System.out.println("i and b values: "+i+" "+b);
 System.out.println("double to int conversion");

 i=(int)d;
 System.out.println("d and i values: "+d+" "+i);
 System.out.println("double to byte conversion");

 b=(byte)d;
 System.out.println("d and b values: "+d+" "+b);
 }
 }
Arrays in Java
 An array is a data structure that defines an ordered collection of a

fixed number of homogeneous data elements
 The size of an array is fixed and cannot increase to accommodate
more elements
Reference variables in Java (1/4)
 Reference variables are used in Java to store the references of the objects created by the
operator new
 Any one of the following syntax can be used to create a reference to an int array
int x[];
int [] x;
• The reference x can be used for referring to any int array
//Declare a reference to an int array

int [] x;
//Create a new int array and make x refer to it
x = new int[5];
import java.io.*;
public class Array {
int month_days[];
month_days = new int[12];
month_days[0] = 31;
month_days[1] = 28;
month_days[2] = 31;
month_days[3] = 30;
month_days[4] = 31;
month_days[5] = 30;
month_days[6] = 31;
month_days[7] = 31;
month_days[8] = 30;
month_days[9] = 31;
month_days[10] = 30;
month_days[11] = 31;
System.out.println("April has " + month_days[3] + " days.");
}
}
Reference Types in Java (4/4)
 A reference type cannot be cast to primitive type
 A reference type can be assigned ‘null’ to show that it is not referring to any object
 ‘null’ is a keyword in Java
int [] x = null;
Initializing an array in Java
 An array can be initialized while it is created as follows
int [] x = {1, 2, 3, 4};
char [] c = {‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’};

The length of an array
 Unlike C, Java checks the boundary of an array while accessing an element in it
 Java will not allow the programmer to exceed its boundary
 If x is a reference to an array, x.length will give you the length of the array
 So setting up a for loop as follows is very common in Java
for(int i = 0; i < x.length; ++i){

x[i] = 5;
}
import java.io.*;
public class SortNum{
{
int number[]={50,67,80,95,34};
System.out.print("sorted list");
int n=number.length; for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
System.out.println("length of array is"+n); {
System.out.print("given list"); System.out.print(" "+number[i]);
for(int i=0;i<n;i++) }
{ }
System.out.print(" "+number[i]); }
}
System.out.print("\n");
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
for(int j=i+1;j<n;j++)
{
if(number[i]<number[j])
{
int temp=number[i];
number[i]=number[j];
number[j]=temp;
}
}
}
Multidimensional Arrays
 Multidimensional arrays are arrays of arrays.
 To declare a multidimensional array variable, specify each
additional index using another set of square brackets.
int [][] x;
//x is a reference to an array of int arrays
x = new int[3][4];
//Create 3 new int arrays, each having 4 elements
//x[0] refers to the first int array, x[1] to the second and so on
//x[0][0] is the first element of the first array
//x.length will be 3
//x[0].length, x[1].length and x[2].length will be 4
// Demonstrate a two-dimensional array.
import java.io.*;
public class TwoDArray {
int twoD[][]= new int[4][5];
int i, j, k = 0;
for(i=0; i<4; i++)
for(j=0; j<5; j++) {
twoD[i][j] = k;
k++;
}
for(i=0; i<4; i++) {
for(j=0; j<5; j++)
System.out.print(twoD[i][j] + " ");
System.out.println();
}
}
}
Jagged Array
 The length of each array in a multidimensional array can be different
 Such an array is called a Jagged Array
int [][] x;
//x is a reference to an array of int arrays
x = new int[3][];
//Create 3 new int array references, x[0], x[1] and x[2]
//x.length is 3
x[0] = new int[4]; //x[0].length is 4
for(int i = 0; i < x.length; ++i)
for(int j = 0; j < x[i].length; ++j)
System.out.println(x[i][j]);
class TwoDAgain {
int twoD[][] = new int[4][];
twoD[0] = new int[1];
int i, j, k = 0;
for(i=0; i<4; i++)

for(j=0; j<i+1; j++) {
twoD[i][j] = k;
k++;
}
for(i=0; i<4; i++) {

for(j=0; j<i+1; j++)
System.out.print(twoD[i][j] + " ");
System.out.println();
}
}

• In Java :
➢ A program is made up of one or more classes.

➢ One class is marked as the special “starting” class.
➢ Name of the file should coincide with the name of starting
class.
➢ When a Java program is launched by the interpreter ( JVM ), it
invokes a static method named “main” in the start class.
Sample Program
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main (String args []) {
System.out.println (“Welcome to Java Programming…..”);
}
}
public allows the program to control the visibility of class

members.When a class member is preceded by public, then that
member may be accessed by code outside the class in which it is
declared. In this case, main ( ) must be declared as public, since it
must be called by code outside of its class when the program is
started.
static allows main( ) to be called without having to instantiate a
particular instance of the class. This is necessary since main ( ) is
called by the Java interpreter before any objects are made.
void states that the main method will not return any value.
main() is called when a Java application begins. In order to run

a class, the class must have a main method.
string args[] declares a parameter named args, which is an array of

String. In this case, args receives any command-line arguments
present when the program is executed.
System is a class which is present in java.lang package.
out is a static field present in System class which returns a

PrintStream object. As out is a static field it can call directly with
classname.
println() is a method which present in PrintStream class which

can call through the PrintStream object return by static field out
present in System class to print a line to console.
sample1.java
public class sample{
System.out.println("sample:main");
}
}

The General Form of a Class
• A class is collection of objects of similar type or it is a template
• class classname {
• type instance-variable1;
• type instance-variable2;
• …
• type instance-variableN;
• type methodname1(parameter-list) {
• body of method
• }
• type methodname2(parameter-list) {
• body of method
• }
• …
• type methodnameN(parameter-list) {
• body of method
• }
• }
➢ The data, or variables, defined within a class are called instance
variables.
➢ Functions defined within a class are called methods.
➢ The methods and variables defined within a class are called
members of the class.
• Note:-
• The class declaration and the implementation of the
methods are stored in the same place and not defined separately.
Constructors and Methods
Constructors and Methods
 A constructor is a special member function whose task is to initialize the objects of its
class.
 A constructor has the same name as the class in which it resides and is syntactically
similar to a method.
 A constructor initializes an object immediately upon creation.
 The constructor is automatically called immediately after the object is created.
 If no constructor in program .System provides its own constructor called as default

constructor.
 Constructors doesn’t have any return type.
 A constructor which accepts parameters is called as parameterized constructor.

Default Constructor:
 A constructor that accepts no parameters is called Default constructor.
 If not defined, provided by the compiler.
 The default constructor is called whenever an object is created without specifying initial
values.
Ex: class Box {

double width;
double height;
double depth;
Box() {
width = 10;
height = 10;
depth = 10;
}
}
// declare, allocate, and initialize Box objects
Box mybox1 = new Box();
Methods
General Form:
type name(parameter-list) {
// body of method
}
 The type of data returned by a method must be compatible with the return type
specified by the method.
 The variable receiving the value returned by a method must also be compatible with
the return type specified for the method.
return value;
Here, value is the value returned.
Ex:
double volume() {
return w*h*d;
}
class Box {
double width;
double height;
double depth;
// This is the constructor for Box.

Box() {
System.out.println("Constructing Box");
width=2 ;
height =3;
depth =4;
}
// compute and return volume
double volume() {
return width * height * depth;
}
}
public class BoxDemo {
Box mybox1 = new Box();
double vol;
// get volume of box
vol = mybox1.volume();
System.out.println("Volume is " + vol);
}
}
Parameterized constructor
 The constructor that can take the arguments are called parameterized constructors
class Box {
double width;
double height;
double depth;
Box(double w, double h, double d) {

width = w;
height = h;
depth = d;
}
}
Box mybox1 = new Box(10, 20, 15);
class Box { class BoxDemo2 {
double width;
double height;
// declare, allocate, and initialize Box
double depth;
objects
// This is the constructor for Box.
Box mybox1 = new Box(1, 2, 5);
Box(double w, double h, double d) { Box mybox2 = new Box(3, 6, 9);
System.out.println("Constructing Box");
width = w; double vol;
height = h; // get volume of first box
depth = d; vol = mybox1.volume();
} System.out.println("Volume is " + vol);
// compute and return volume
double volume() { // get volume of second box
return width * height * depth; vol = mybox2.volume();
} System.out.println("Volume is " + vol);
}
}
}
Access Control
private:
▪ A private member is accessible only to the class in which it is defined.
▪ Use private keyword to create private members.
protected:
▪ Allows the class itself, subclasses, and all classes in the same package to access the
members.
▪ To declare a protected member, use the keyword protected.
public:
▪ Any class, in any package ,has access to a class's public members.
▪ To declare a public member, use the keyword public.
default :
▪ When no access specifier is used, then by default the member of a class is public
within its own package, but cannot be accessed outside of its package.
class Test {
int a; // default access class AccessTest {
public int b; // public access public static void main(String args[])
private int c; // private access {
/*protected applies only when Test ob = new Test();
inheritance is involved*/
// methods to access c
// These are OK, a and b may be accessed directly
void setc(int i) { // set c's value ob.a = 10;
c = i; ob.b = 20;
} // This is not OK and will cause an error
int getc() { // get c's value //ob.c = 100; // Error!
return c;
// You must access c through its methods
}
} ob.setc(100); // OK
System.out.println(ob.a + " " +ob.b + " " + ob.getc());
}
}
The this Keyword
➢this keyword is used inside any method to refer to the current object.
Ex:
this.w = w;
this.h = h;
this.d = d;
}
Instance Variable Hiding
➢ In java, it is illegal to declare two local variables with the same name inside
the same or enclosing scopes.
➢ But , you can have local variables, including formal parameters to methods,
which overlap with the names of the class’ instance variables.
➢ When a local variable has the same name as an instance variable, the local
variable hides the instance variable.
Contd..
 Therefore ,this can be used to resolve any name collisions that might occur
between instance variables and local variables.
ex:
double width,height,depth;
Box(double width, double height, double depth) {

this.width = width;
this.height = height;
this.depth = depth;
}
//instance variables and local variables are different
class Box
{
int w=5,h=5,d=5;
Box(int w1,int h1, int d1)

{
w=w1;
h=h1;
d=d1;
}
int volume()
{
return w*h*d;
}
}
class Ex5
{
{
Box b=new Box(1,2,3);
System.out.println("result is"+b.volume());
}
}
class JBT {
int variable = 5;
JBT obj = new JBT();
obj.method(20);
obj.method();
}
void method(int variable) {
variable = 10;
System.out.println("Value of Instance variable :" + this.variable);
System.out.println("Value of Local variable :" + variable);
}
void method() {
int variable = 40;
System.out.println("Value of Instance variable :" + this.variable);
System.out.println("Value of Local variable :" + variable);
}
}
Output of the above programme
Value of Instance variable :5
Value of Local variable :10
Value of Instance variable :5
Value of Local variable :40
// instance variables and local variables are same
class Box
{
int w=5,h=5,d=5;
Box(int w,int h, int d)

{
w=w;
h=h;
d=d;
}
int volume()
{
return w*h*d;
}
}
class Ex5
{
{
}
}
// for hiding instance variables by using ‘this’ keyword
class Box
{
int w=5,h=5,d=5;
Box(int w,int h, int d)

{
this.w=w;
this.h=h;
this.d=d;
}
int volume()
{
return w*h*d;
}
}
class Ex5
{
{
}
Garbage Collection
➢ objects are dynamically allocated by using the new operator,

➢ In C++, dynamically allocated objects must be manually released by use of a delete
operator.
➢ Java handles deallocation automatically. This technique is called garbage collection.
Technique
▪ when no. references to an object exist, that object is assumed to be no longer
needed, and the memory occupied by the object can be reclaimed.
➢ Garbage collection only occurs at regular intervals during the execution of your
program.
public class GarbageCollector{
public static void main(String[] args) {
int SIZE = 200;
StringBuffer s;
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i++) {
}
System.out.println("Garbage Collection started explicitly.");
long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.gc();
System.out.println("It took " + (System.currentTimeMillis()-time) + " ms");
}
}
The finalize( ) Method
 Sometimes an object will need to perform some action when it is destroyed
Ex:
if an object is holding some non-Java resource such as a file handle or
window character font, then you might want to make sure these resources are freed before
an object is destroyed
 To handle such situations, Java provides a mechanism called finalization.
 The finalize( ) method has this general form:
protected void finalize( )
{
// finalization code here
}
 Here, the keyword protected is a specifier that prevents access to finalize( ) by code
defined outside its class.
Overloading Methods
➢ Defining two or more methods within the same class that share the same name, as long as their
parameter declarations are different is called method overloading.
➢ When an overloaded method is invoked, Java uses the type and/or number of arguments to determine
which version of the overloaded method to call.
 class OverloadDemo {
void test() {
System.out.println("No parameters");
}
void test(int a) {
System.out.println("a: " + a);
}
void test(int a, int b) {
System.out.println("a and b: " + a + " " + b);
}
double test(double a) {
System.out.println("double a: " + a);
return a*a;
}
}
class Overload {
OverloadDemo ob = new OverloadDemo();
double result;
// call all versions of test()

ob.test();
ob.test(10);
ob.test(10, 20);
result = ob.test(123.25);
System.out.println("Result of ob.test(123.25): " + result);
}
}
// Automatic type conversions apply to overloading.
class OverloadDemo {
void test() {
System.out.println("No parameters");
}
// Overload test for two integer parameters.
void test(int a, int b) {
System.out.println("a and b: " + a + " " + b);
}
// overload test for a double parameter
void test(double a) {
System.out.println("Inside test(double) a: " + a);
}
}
class Overload {
OverloadDemo ob = new OverloadDemo();
int i = 88;
ob.test();
ob.test(10, 20);
ob.test(i); // this will invoke test(double)
ob.test(123.2); // this will invoke test(double)
}
}
Overloading Constructors
➢ Constructors can be overloaded.
class Box {
double width, height,depth;
Box(){
width=12.0;
height=5.0;
depth=4.8;
}
width = w;
height = h;
depth = d;
}
double volume() {
return width * height * depth;
}
}
➢ All declarations of Box objects must pass three arguments to the Box( ) constructor.
Contd..
➢ the following statements are valid
Box ob = new Box();
Box ob=new Box(10.0,20.0,30.0);

Parameter Passing
Call-by-value
➢The call-by-value copies the value of a actual parameter into the formal parameter of the
method.
➢In this method, changes made to the formal parameter of the method have no effect on the
actual parameter
➢Simple types, int, float, char, double, are passed by value
// Simple types are passed by value.
class Test {
void meth(int i, int j) {
i *= 2;
j /= 2;
}
}
class CallByValue {
Test ob = new Test();
int a = 15, b = 20;
System.out.println("a and b before call: " +a + " " + b);
ob.meth(a, b);
System.out.println("a and b after call: " +a + " " + b);
}
}
Call-by-reference
➢ In call-by-reference, a reference to an actual parameter (not the value of the argument)

is passed to the formal parameter.
➢ In this method, changes made to the formal parameter of the method will effect on the
actual parameter
➢ Objects are passed by reference
// Objects are passed by reference.
class Test {
int a, b;
Test(int i, int j) {
a = i;
b = j;
}
void meth(Test o) { // pass an object
o.a *= 2;
o.b /= 2;
}
}
class CallByRef {
Test ob = new Test(15, 20);
System.out.println("ob.a and ob.b before call: " +ob.a + " " + ob.b);
ob.meth(ob);
System.out.println("ob.a and ob.b after call: " +ob.a + " " + ob.b);
}
}
Recursion
➢ Recursion is the process of defining something in terms of itself.
➢ A method that calls itself is said to be recursive.
Ex:class Factorial{
int fact(int n){
int result;
if(n==1)
return 1;
else
result = fact(n-1) * n;
return result;
}}
class Recursion{
Factorial f = new Factorial();
System.out.println("Factorial of 3 is " + f.fact(3));
}}
Understanding static
 The static keyword is used in java mainly for memory management.
 The static keyword belongs to the class than instance of the class.
 The static can be:
 variable (also known as class variable)
 method (also known as class method)
 block
 nested class
1) static variable
 If you declare any variable as static, it is known static variable.
 The static variable can be used to refer the common property of all objects
(that is not unique for each object)
 e.g. company name of employees, college name of students etc.
 The static variable gets memory only once in class area at the time of class
loading.
 Advantage of static variable
 It makes your program memory efficient (i.e it saves memory).
 Understanding problem without static variable
class Student{
int rollno;
String name;
String college="ITS";
}
Example of static variable
//Program of static variable
class Student{
int rollno;
String name;
static String college ="ITS";
Student(int r,String n){

rollno = r;
name = n;
}
void display (){
System.out.println(rollno+" "+name+" "+college);}
Student s1 = new Student (111,"Karan");
Student s2 = new Student (222,"Aryan");
s1.display();
s2.display();
}
}
2) static method
 If you apply static keyword with any method, it is known as static method
 A static method belongs to the class rather than object of a class.
 A static method can be invoked without the need for creating an instance of a class.
 static method can access static data member and can change the value of it.
 Example of static method
//Program of changing the common property of all objects(static field).
class Student{
int rollno;
String name; public static void main(String args[]){
static String college = "ITS"; Student.change();
static void change(){ Student s1 = new Student (111,"Karan");
college = "BBDIT"; Student s2 = new Student (222,"Aryan")
} Student s3 = new Student (333,"Sonoo")
Student(int r, String n){ s1.display();
rollno = r; s2.display();
name = n; s3.display();
}
}
void display (){System.out.println(rollno+" "+name+" "+college);}
}
Methods declared as static have several restrictions:
▪ They can only call other static methods.
▪ They must only access static data.
▪ They cannot refer to this or super in any way.
Ex:
class A{
int a=40;//non static

System.out.println(a);
}
}
3)static block
 Is used to initialize the static data member.
 It is executed before main method at the time of class loading.
static block Syntax :
static {
statement1;
statement2;
…….
…….
}
 Example of static block
class A{
static{
System.out.println("static block is invoked");
}
System.out.println("Hello main");
}
}
4)static nested class
A static class that is created inside a class is known as static nested class. It cannot
access the non-static members.
 It can access static data members of outer class including private.
 static nested class cannot access non-static (instance) data member or
method.
 Program of static nested class that have instance method
class Outer{
static int data=30;
static class Inner{
void msg(){System.out.println("data is "+data);}
}
Outer.Inner obj=new Outer.Inner();
obj.msg();
}
}
// Demonstration of static variables, methods, and blocks.
public class UseStatic {
static int a = 3; //static variables
static int b;
static void meth(int x) { //static method
System.out.println("x = " + x);
}
static { //static block

System.out.println("Static block initialized.");
b = a * 4;
}
meth(42); //static method calling inside the class
}
}
String Handling
 in Java a string is a sequence of characters.

 But, unlike many other languages that implement strings as character arrays, Java implements
strings as objects of type String.
 when you create a String object, you are creating a string that cannot be changed.
• That is, once a String object has been created, you cannot change the characters that comprise
that string.
• You can still perform all types of string operations.
• The difference is that each time you need an altered version of an existing string, a new String
object is created that contains the modifications.
• The original string is left unchanged.
• There are 3 types of String handling classes
• String
• StringBuffer
• StringTokenizer
•
•
String Class
➢ The String class supports several constructors.

➢ String is an object not an array of characters in java.
➢ once a String object is created, you cannot change the characters that
are in string.
➢ Strings created by a StringBuffer class can be modified after they are
created.
➢ Both the String and StringBuffer classes are defined in java.lang.
Contd..
Constructors
• String s = new String(); - Creates an empty string.

• String s=String(char chars[ ])
Ex:-
char chars[ ] = { 'a', 'b', 'c' };
String s = new String(chars);
• String(char chars[ ], int startIndex, int numChars)
• Ex:-
char chars[] = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f' };
String s = new String(chars, 2, 3);
➢ We can also create string by using string literal.
▪ String s2 = "abc";
• String(String strObj)
ex:
class s{
char c[]={‘j’,’a’, ‘v’,’a’};
String s1=new String(c);
String s2=new String(s1);
System.out.println(s1);
}
}
• String(byte asciiChars[])
• String(byte asciiChars[], int startIndex, Int numChars)
Ex:
class SubStringCons
{
{
byte ascii[]={65,66,67,68,69,70};
String s1=new String(ascii);

String s2=new String(ascii,2,3);
}
}
• string length
• the length of a string is the number of character that it contains
int length()
ex;
char chars[]={‘a’,’b’,’c’};
String s=new String(chars);
System.out.println(s.length());
 Special String Operations
String Literals
String Concatenation
String Concatenation with Other Data Types
String Conversion and toString( )
 Character Extraction
charAt( )
getChars( )
getBytes( )
toCharArray( )
 String Comparison
equals( ) and equalsIgnoreCase( )
regionMatches( ) startsWith( ) and endsWith( )
equals( ) Versus ==
compareTo( )
 Searching Strings
 Modifying a String
substring( )
concat( )
replace( )
trim( )
 Changing the Case of Characters Within a String
Special String Operations
 String literals
char c[]={‘a’,’b’,’c’};
String s1=new String(c);
String s2=“abc”; // use string literal
System.out.println("abc".length());
String Concatenation:
String age=“9”;
String s=“he is”+age+”years old.”;
String Concatenation with other data types

ex: String s=“four:”+2+2;
o/p: four:22
String s=“four:”+(2+2);
o/p: four: 4
String Conversion and toString()
syntax: String toString()

Ex:
class Box {
double width , height , depth;
Box(double w, double h, double d){
width=w;
height=h;
depth=d;
}
public String toString()
{
return "dimensions are "+width+" by" +height+" by"+depth +".";
}
}
class toStringDemo{
Box b= new Box(10,12,14);
String s=" Box b:"+b; //concatenate Box objectcls
System.out.println(b); //convert Box to string
}
}
Character Extraction
 charAt():
to extract a single character from a string
char charAt(int where)
Ex:
char ch;
ch=“abc”.charAt(1);
 getChars():
 to extract more than one character at a time,
void getChars(int sourceStart,int SourceEnd,char target[],int targetStart)

class GetCharsDemo
{
{
char ch[] = new char[10];
String str = "New Version in Java";
str.getChars(5,9,ch,0);
System.out.println(ch);
}
}
 getBytes()
byte[] getBytes()
ex:
class GetBytesDemo {
{
String str = "abc“ + ”ABC”;
byte[] b = str.getBytes();
System.out.println(str);
for(int i=0;i<b.length;i++)
{
System.out.print(b[i]+" ");
}
}
}
toCharrArray():
-To convert all the characters in a String object into a
character array
Syntax:
char[] toCharArray()
 Ex:
public class CharArray
{
{
String text = "Coffee Cup";
char ch[] = text.toCharArray();
for(int i=0;i<ch.length;i++)
{
System.out.print(ch[i]);
}
}
}
String Comparison
 To compare the strings or substrings within strings.
equals() and equalsIgnoreCase()

Syntax:
boolean equals(Object str)
-str is the String object being compared with the invoking String object
boolean equalsIgnoreCase(String str)

class EqualIgnoreDemo {
String str1 = “hai";
String str2 = "hai";
String str3 = “HAI“;
System.out.println("First String : "+str1);
System.out.println("Second String : "+str2);
System.out.println("Third String : "+str3);
if(str1.equals(str2))
{
System.out.println("Str1 and Str2 are Equal");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Str1 and Str2 are Not Equal");
}
if(str2.equalsIgnoreCase(str3))
{
System.out.println("Str2 and Str3 are Equal");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Str2 and Str3 are Not Equal");
} } }
boolean regionMatches(int startIndex, String str2,int str2StartIndex, int numChars)
boolean regionMatches(boolean ignoreCase,int startIndex, String str2, int

str2StartIndex, int numChars)
class RegionTest
{
{
String str1 = "This is Test";
String str2 = "THIS IS TEST";
if(str1.regionMatches(true,5,str2,5,3)) // Case, pos1,secString,pos1,len

{
System.out.println("Strings are Equal");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Strings are NOT Equal");
}
}
}
String Comparison
boolean startsWith(String str) //to determine whether a given String begins
with a specified string.
boolean endsWith(String str) // to determine whether the String in question

ends with a specified string.
Ex: "Football".endsWith("ball") and "Football".startsWith("Foot") are both true.
boolean startsWith(String str, int startIndex) //to specifies the index into the invoking
string at which point the search will begin.
Ex: "Football".startsWith("ball", 4) returns true.
equals( ) Versus ==
// It compares the characters inside a String object
//To compare two object references to see whether they refer to the same instance.
String Comparison
// equals() vs ==
class EqualsNotEqualTo {
String s1 = "Hello";
String s2 = new String(s1);
//String s2 = s1;
System.out.println(s1.equals(s2));
System.out.println( s1 == s2);
}
}
Output:
true
false
String Comparison
int compareTo(String str)
Value Meaning
Less than zero The invoking string is less than str.
Greater than zero The invoking string is greater than str.
Zero The two strings are equal.
Ex: ABC➔ 65 66 67
abc➔ 97 98 99
int compareToIgnoreCase(String str)
Ex:ABC ➔65 66 67
abc➔ 65 66 67
String Comparison
class SortString {
static String arr[] = {
“Now", "is", "the", "time", "for", "all", "good", "men",
"to", "come", "to", "the", "aid", "of", "their", "country“};
for(int j = 0; j < arr.length; j++) {

Modifying a String
String objects are immutable,
whenever you want to modify a String, you must either copy it into a StringBuffer or use one of the
following String methods,
String substring(int startIndex)

 Here, startIndex specifies the index at which the substring will begin.
 it returns a copy of the substring that begins at startIndex and runs to the end of the
invoking string.
String substring(int startIndex, int endIndex)
 Here, startIndex specifies the beginning index, and endIndex specifies the stopping
point
 The string returned contains all the characters from the beginning index, up to, but
not including, the ending index.
class SubstringDemo {
String str = "CoffeeCup";
String sub1 = str.substring(0,6);
String sub2 = str.substring(6);
System.out.println("String : "+str);
System.out.println("Sub String 1 : "+sub1);
System.out.println("Sub String 2 : "+sub2);
}
}
String concat(String str)
 This method creates a new object that contains the invoking string with the contents of str
appended to the end
EX:
String s1 = "one";
String s2 = s1.concat("two");
//Using ‘+’
String s1 = "one";
String s2 = s1 + "two";
Extracting Substrings
String s1 = “String’s are objects”;
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
S t r i n g ’ s a r e o b j e c t s
s1.substring(13);
s1.substring(9, 12);
s1.substring(0, 6);
 In all examples, s1 is not modified

// “objects” “are” “String”
String replace(char original, char replacement)
The replace( ) method replaces all occurrences of one character in the invoking string
with another character.
Ex:
String s = "Hello".replace('l', 'w');
String replaceAll(String original, String replacement)

class ReplaceDemo
{
{
String str1 = "RISK";

String str2 = str1.replace('R','D');
System.out.println("First String : "+str1);
System.out.println("Second String : "+str2);
String str3 = str1.replaceAll("RI","A");

System.out.println("Third String : "+str3);
}
}
String trim( )
The trim( ) method returns a copy of the invoking string from which any leading and
trailing whitespace has been removed
Ex:
String s = “ Hello World ".trim();
Changing the Case of Characters Within a String
String toLowerCase( )
String toUpperCase( )
class LowerUpper {
String str1 = "java";
String str2 = "JAVA";
System.out.println("Upper Case Of : "+str1+" is : "+str1.toUpperCase());
System.out.println("Lower Case Of : "+str2+" is : "+str2.toLowerCase());
}
}
String Buffer
 StringBuffer represents growable and writeable character
sequences.
 StringBuffer may have characters and substrings inserted in
the middle or appended to the end.
 StringBuffer Constructors
 StringBuffer defines these three constructors:
 StringBuffer( ) //reservse up to 16 char
 StringBuffer(int size) //explicitly sets the size of the
 StringBuffer(String str)
class BufDec
{
{
StringBuffer sb1 = new StringBuffer("Coffee Cup“);
StringBuffer sb2 = new StringBuffer(20);
StringBuffer sb3 = new StringBuffer();
System.out.println(sb1);
System.out.println("Buffer 1 Size : "+sb1.capacity());
}
}
 int length( )
 //The current length of a StringBuffer can be found via the length( ) method
 int capacity( )
//The total allocated capacity can be found through the capacity( ) method.
 void setLength(int len)

//To set the length of the buffer within a StringBuffer object.
class CapacityDemo {
StringBuffer sb1 = new StringBuffer();
System.out.println("Default Capacity : "+sb1.capacity());
System.out.println("Default Length : "+sb1.length());
sb1.setLength(10);
System.out.println("Length : "+sb1.length());
}
}
 char charAt(int where)
//The value of a single character can be obtained from a StringBuffer via the charAt( ) method.
 void setCharAt(int where, char ch)
//To set the value of a character, ch specifies the new value of that character
EX:// Demonstrate charAt() and setCharAt()
class setCharAtDemo {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("Hello");
System.out.println("buffer before = " + sb);
System.out.println("charAt(1) before = " + sb.charAt(1));
sb.setCharAt(1, 'i');
sb.setLength(2);
System.out.println("buffer after = " + sb);
System.out.println("charAt(1) after = " + sb.charAt(1));
}}
 Void getChars(int sourceStart,int sourceEnd,char target[],int targetStart)
// To copy a substring of a StringBuffer into an array
 append():
 // concatenates the string representation of any other type of data to the end of the invoking
StringBuffer object
 StringBuffer append(String str)
 StringBuffer append(int num)
 StringBuffer append(Object obj)
 String.valueOf( ) is called for each parameter to obtain its string representation. The result is
appended to the current StringBuffer object.
class appendDemo{
String s;
int a=30;
StringBuffer sb= new StringBuffer(40);
s=sb.append(“a=“).append(a).append(“!”).toString();
}
}
 insert( )
 The insert( ) method inserts one string into another.
 StringBuffer insert(int index, String str)
 StringBuffer insert(int index, char ch)
 StringBuffer insert(int index, Object obj)
class InsertDemo {
char ch[] = {'J','A','V','A'};
StringBuffer sb1 = new StringBuffer("ring");

System.out.println("String is : "+sb1);
StringBuffer sb2 = sb1.insert(0,'B');
System.out.println("String after inserting 'B' : "+sb2);
StringBuffer sb3 = sb1.insert(sb1.length(),ch);
System.out.println("String after inserting chars (java) : "+sb3);
}
}
 StringBuffer reverse()
// reverse the characters within a StringBuffer object using reverse( )
// Using reverse() to reverse a StringBuffer.
Ex: class ReverseDemo{

StringBuffer s= new StringBuffer(“abcdef”);
s.reverse();
}
}
 delete() and deleteCharAt()
 deletes a sequence of characters from the invoking object.
 StringBuffer delete(int startIndex, int endIndex)

 StringBuffer deleteCharAt(int loc)
class deleteDemo{
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(“this is test.”);
sb.delete(4,7);
System.out.println(“After delete: “+sb);
sb.deleteCharAt(0);
System.out.println(“After deleteCharAt: “+sb);
}
}
 StringBuffer replace(int startIndex, int endIndex, String str)
Ex:
StringBuffer sb= new StringBuffer(“this is a test”);
sb.replace(5,7,”was”);
 String substring(int startIndex)

 //to return sub strings.
 String substring(int startIndex, int endIndex)
StringTokenizer
 The StringTokenizer class provides the first step in this parsing process,
often called the lexer (lexical analyzer) or scanner
 Parsing is the division of text into a set of discrete parts, or tokens
 To use StringTokenizer
 you specify an input string and a string that contains delimiters
 Delimiters are characters that separate tokens
 Each character in the delimiters string is considered a valid delimiter
 ex: “ ,;:”
 The default set of delimiters consists of the whitespace characters:,space, tab,
newline,carriage return
token <= identifier | keyword | separator | operator
| literal | comment
The StringTokenizer constructors
 StringTokenizer(String str)
 StringTokenizer(String str, String delimiters)
 StringTokenizer(String str, String delimiters, boolean delimAsToken)
in all versions, str is the string that will be tokenized.

import java.util.*;
class StringToken{
String s=“hello=java,test”;
/*Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
String s=input.next();*/
StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(s);

//StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(s,“=,");
//StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(s,"=,",true);
while(st.hasMoreTokens()) {
String result=st.nextToken();
System.out.println(result);
}
}
}
 Write a java program that reads a line of integers and then displays each
integer and find the sum of the integers (using StringTokenizer)
import java.util.*;
class SumOfInt{
//String s=“1+2+3+4+5+6+7”;
Scanner s= new Scanner(System.in);
String t=s.next();
int sum=0;
StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(t,"+");

while(st.hasMoreTokens())
{
String a=st.nextToken();
System.out.println(a);
sum=sum+Integer.parseInt(a);
}
System.out.println("sum of all integers is: "+sum);
}
}
 token <= identifier | keyword | separator | operator | literal | comment
 Identifiers: names the programmer chooses
 Keywords: names already in the programming language
 Separators (also known as punctuators): punctuation characters and
paired-delimiters
 Operators: symbols that operate on arguments and produce results
 Literals (specified by their type)
 Numeric: int and double
 Logical: boolean
 Textual: char and String
 Reference: null
 Comments
 Line
 Block

➢ In C/C++, true is any nonzero value and false is zero.

➢ The assignment operator is the single equal sign, =.

 expression1 ? expression2 : expression3 ;

➢ Here, expression1 can be any expression that evaluates to a
