PCC 3 0 0 3
PREREQUISITE:
A basic understanding of programming principles such as variables and loops, paired with good problem-
solving abilities, is required. Fundamentals of C programming and object oriented concepts.
OBJECTIVES:
This course aims to introduce the fundamentals of Java programming, including data types, control structures,
classes and methods. It enables students to recognize object-oriented concepts such as inheritance, interfaces,
packages and exception handling. The course also covers multithreading, file I/O operations, string
manipulation, database connectivity using JDBC and collections framework.
UNIT – I JAVA FUNDAMENTALS (9)
The Java Buzzwords – Data Types – Variables – Arrays – Operators – Control Statements – Class

Objects – Recursion – this keyword – Garbage Collection.
UNIT – II CONSTRUCTORS AND INHERITANCE (9)
Constructors – Constructor Overloading – Access Control – static – final – Nested and Inner Class –
Inheritance: Basics – Super – Multilevel – Hierarchical – Method Overriding – Abstract class –Final with
Inheritance.
UNIT – III INTERFACES, PACKAGES AND EXCEPTION HANDLING (9)
Interfaces – Default Interface Methods – Static Methods in Interface – Packages – Access Protection –
Importing Packages –Exception Handling Fundamentals – Types – Uncaught Exceptions –Try and Catch –
Multiple Catch – Nested Try – Throw – Throws – Finally –Wrapper Classes
UNIT–IV MULTITHREADED PROGRAMMING AND I/O OPERATIONS (9)
Java Thread Model – Main Thread – Creating a Thread – Creating Multiple Threads – isAlive and join
Methods – Thread Priorities - Synchronization – Interthread Communication – Suspending, Resuming, and
Stopping Threads – Obtaining a Thread’s State – Using Multithreading – I/O Basics – Reading Console Input –
Writing Console Output – The PrintWriter Class – Reading and Writing Files – Automatically Closing a File –
Scanner class.
UNIT – V STRING, DATABASE CONNECTIVITY AND COLLECTIONS (9)
String Constructors – String Length – Character Extraction – String Comparison – Searching Strings –
Modifying a String – Methods in StringBuffer – JDBC Product Components – JDBC API – JDBC Driver
Manager – JDBC Test Suite – JDBC-ODBC Bridge – JDBC Architecture – Establishing Connection –
Handling SQL Exceptions – Collections: List – Array List.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
