Java Basics for Class 8 ICSE Students

Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems in 1991, known for its WORA (Write Once, Run Anywhere) capability. It features simplicity, platform independence, security, and robustness, making it widely used in mobile applications, web applications, and various other fields. A typical Java program consists of a class containing a main method, where execution begins and output is displayed using System.out.println().

JAVA – SHORT NOTES FOR CLASS 8 (ICSE)

 Introduction to Java**
Java is a *high-level, object-oriented programming language* used to create applications for
computers, mobile phones, and the internet. It follows the rule “Write Once, Run Anywhere”
(WORA)**.

 History of Java (In Brief)


 Developed by: James Gosling and his team at *Sun Microsystems*.
 Year Developed: 1991 (Project name: Oak)
 Renamed as Java: 1995
 Owned by Oracle: After Oracle bought Sun Microsystems in 2010, Java became an Oracle
product.

* Java was originally made for small electronic devices but later became widely used for
web and mobile applications.

 Features of Java:
 Simple: Easy to learn and use.
 Object-Oriented: Uses concepts like classes, objects, and methods.
 Platform-Independent: Runs on any computer because of the **Java Virtual Machine
(JVM)**.
 Secure: Protects data and programs from unauthorized access.
 Robust: Has strong memory management and error handling.
 Portable: Java programs can run anywhere without changes.
 Uses of Java --
Java is used in many --fields, such as:

 Mobile Applications: Especially **Android apps**.


 Web Applications: Websites, online shopping, banking
systems.
 Desktop Software: Games and utility software.
 Servers: * Handling internet services and databases.
 Smart Devices: TVs, smart cards, ATMs, Blu-ray players.
 Scientific Applications : Research tools and simulations.

 Why Java Is Popular**?


 Runs on all types of devices.
 Has a huge community of developers.
 Stable, reliable, and secure.
 Used by companies worldwide for major projects.

 Working Model---
 Java Programming language format :-

 DESCRIPTION
like,
class Hello {
public static void main(String[] args) {
[Link]("Hello, World!");
}
}

1. `class Hello {

 `class` is a keyword used to declare a *class*.


 `Hello` is the *name* of the class.
 `{` indicates the *start of the class block*.

2. `public static void main(String[] args) {

This is the *main method*. Every Java program must have it because the program **starts
running from here.

 public* – The method can be used by the Java system from anywhere.
 static* – It can run without creating an object of the class.
 void* – It does not return any value.
 main* – The name of the method where execution begins.
 String[] args* – It can take input from the command line (not needed for now, but
required in the structure).
 `{` – Start of the main method.

3. `[Link]("Hello, World!");

 This line *prints text* on the screen.


 `[Link]()` is a built-in Java command used for **displaying output**.
 `"Hello, World!"` is the message it will print.
 `;` ends the statement.

4. `}` (closing braces)

 The first `}` closes the *main method*.


 The second `}` closes the *class*.

**Summary (Very Short Notes)**


 A Java program has a *class*
 Inside the class, there is a *main method*.
 The *main method* is where the program starts running.
 `[Link]()` is used to *print output*.
