Java Overview

What is Java?

 Java is a popular programming language for developing web, mobile, and desktop applications. It is a high-level and object-oriented programming language. It is platform-independent. It required the Java Virtual Machine(JVM) to run the Java code. Java is similar to C/C++.



Application of Java

  1. Mobile Application
  2. Desktop Application
  3. Web Application
  4. Embedded System
  5. Smart Card
  6. Payment System
  7. Games

History of Java

Java's history dates back to the early 1990s when a group of researchers at Sun Microsystems led by James Gosling started a "green project". The goal of this project was to create a portable home-appliance software that could run on embedded processor chips. Initially, the team planned to use C++ programming language for this project. However, they encountered portability issues with C++ and decided to develop a new programming language from scratch. This led to the creation of the Oak programming language, named after an oak tree outside Gosling's office. In 1995, Oak was officially renamed Java, inspired by the coffee the developers enjoyed during breaks.The first official version of Java was released at the SunWorld conference, and shortly after, Netscape announced that they would include Java in their browser. Java quickly gained popularity due to its ability to run on any device or operating system with the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).It is widely used for creating web applets, which are small programs embedded in web pages that can be executed by Java-compatible browsers. Over the years, Java continues to evolve and gain momentum. It introduced features such as garbage collection, multithreading, and platform independence, making it a versatile and powerful programming language.In 2010, Oracle Corporation acquired Sun Microsystems, becoming the new steward of Java. Oracle continues to develop and improve Java by releasing new versions and updates to meet the changing needs of the software development community.

Understanding Methods in Java

  What is a Method? In Java, a method is a block of code that performs a specific task. Methods are used to define the behavior of objects created from a class. They encapsulate code that can be reused and invoked whenever needed, making programs more modular and manageable. Defining a Method A method consists of a method declaration and a method body. The method declaration provides the method's name, return type, and parameters, while the method body contains the code to be executed. Syntax: returnType methodName (parameters) { // method body } Example: public class Example { // Method to add two numbers public int add ( int a, int b) { return a + b; } public static void main (String[] args) { Example example = new Example (); int sum = example.add( 5 , 3 ); System.out.println( "Sum: " + sum); // Output: Sum: 8 } } Method Components Access Modifiers: Define the visibility of the method (e....

Configuring Static NAT for Any Network Scenario

Introduction Network Address Translation (NAT) is a fundamental technique used in networking to translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses and vice versa. Static NAT is a method where a specific private IP address is mapped to a specific public IP address.  Configuration Steps Router Configuration Enable NAT Service Router(config)# ip nat inside source static [inside-local] [inside-global] Replace [inside-local] with the private IP address to be translated. Replace [inside-global] with the public IP address to translate to. Configure Interfaces Router(config)# interface [inside-interface] Router(config-if)# ip address [inside-ip-address] [subnet-mask] Router(config-if)# ip nat inside Router(config-if)# no shutdown Router(config-if)# exit Router(config)# interface [outside-interface] Router(config-if)# ip address [outside-ip-address] [subnet-mask] Router(config-if)# ip nat outside Router(config-if)# no shutdown Router(config-if)# exit Replace [inside-interf...
