Annotations are a tag (metadata) which provides info about a program. Annotations in Java Start with the symbol ‘@’. They are used by the compiler to detect errors. Software tools to generate code. They are used to show attributes of an element: e.g. @Deprecated, @Override. Annotation are used to describe the purpose of an element of the framework, e.g. @Entity, @TestCase, @WebService Annotations describe the behaviour of an element: @Statefull, @Transaction. Example Live Demo class Sample{ public void display(){ System.out.println(" "); } } public ... Read More

In Aggregation relationship among classes by which a class (object) can be made up of any combination of objects of other classes. It allows objects to be placed directly within the body of other classes.A composition is also a type of aggregation where the relationship is restrictive i.e. If two objects are in composition, the composed object will not exist without the other.

VM first looks for the main method (at least the latest versions) and then, starts executing the program including static block. Therefore, you cannot execute a static block without main method. Example public class Sample { static { System.out.println("Hello how are you"); } } Since the above program doesn’t have a main method, If you compile and execute it you will get an error message. C:\Sample>javac StaticBlockExample.java C:\Sample>java StaticBlockExample Error: Main method not found in class StaticBlockExample, please define the main method as: public static ... Read More

The java.io.PrintStream.println() method prints an array of characters and then terminate the line. This method behaves as though it invokes print(char[]) and then println(). Using this method you can print the data on the console. import java.io.*; public class PrintStreamDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { char[] c = {'a', 'b', 'c'}; // create print stream object PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(System.out); // print an array and change line ps.println(c); ps.print("New Line"); // flush the stream ps.flush(); } } Output abc New Line

You can declare an array just like a variable −int myArray[];You can create an array just like an object using the new keyword −myArray = new int[5];You can initialize the array by assigning values to all the elements one by one using the index −myArray [0] = 101; myArray [1] = 102;You can access the array element using the index values −System.out.println("The first element of the array is: " + myArray [0]); System.out.println("The first element of the array is: " + myArray [1]); Alternatively, you can create and initialize an array using the flower braces ({ }): Int [] myArray = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}

The composition is also a type of aggregation where the relationship is restrictive i.e. If two objects are in composition, the composed object will not exist without the other.

While declaring the constructors you should keep the following points in mind.A constructor does not have a return type.The name of the constructor is same as the name of the class. A class can have more than one constructor.Examplepublic class Sample {    int num;    public Sample() {       num = 30;    }    public Sample(int value) {       num = value;    } }

The this is a keyword in Java which is used as a reference to the object of the current class, within an instance method or a constructor. Using this you can refer the members of a class such as constructors, variables, and methods. Example Live Demo public class This_Example { // Instance variable num int num = 10; This_Example() { System.out.println("This is an example program on keyword this"); } This_Example(int num) { ...

A Java file contains only one public class with a particular name. If you create another class with same name it will be a duplicate class. Still if you try to create such class then the compiler will generate a compile time error. Example public class Example { } public class Example{ public void sample(){ System.out.println("sample method of the Example class"); } public void demo(){ System.out.println("demo method of the Example class"); } ...
