Object oriented concept:
Difference between OOP and other conventional programming, advantages and
disadvantages. Class, object, message passing, inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism.
Basic concepts of Object oriented programming using Java:
Class & Object properties: Basic concepts of Java programming-advantages of Java, byte-
code & JVM, data types, access specifiers, operators, control statements & loops, array,
creation of class, object, constructor, finalize and garbage collection, use of method
overloading, this keyword, use of objects as parameter & methods returning objects, call by
value & call by reference, static variables & methods, garbage collection, nested and inner
classes, basic string handling concepts, -String (discuss char(), compare(), equals(),
equalsIgnorecase(), indexOf(), length(), substring(), toCharArray(),toLowercCase(),
tostring(), methods), concept of mutable and immutable string, command line arguments,
basics of I/O operations-keyboard input using BufferedReader & Scanner classes.
Reusability properties: Super class & subclasses including multilevel hierarchy, process of
constructor calling in inheritance, use of super and final keywords with super() method,
dynamic method dispatch, use of abstract classes, & methods, interfaces. Creation of
packages, importing packages, member access for packages.
Exception handling & Multithreading : Exception handling basics, different types of
exception classes, use of try & catch with throw, throws & finally, creation of user defined
exception classes. Basics of multithreading, main thread, thread life cycle, creation of
multiple threads, thread synchronization, inter thread communication, deadlocks for
threads, suspending & resuming threads.
Applet Programming (using swing): Basics of applet programming, applet life cycle,
difference between application & applet programming, parameter passing in applet in
applets, concept of delegation event model and listener, I/O in applets, use of repaint(),
getDocumentBase(), getCodeBase() methods, layout manager (basic concept), creation of
buttons (JButton class only) & text fields.
