Beginner-Friendly Java Prep Guide (for Drivestream)

PART 1: Java Basics You Must Know

1. Java Syntax Essentials

• Structure of a Java Program

java

CopyEdit

public class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String[] args) {

[Link]("Hello, Drivestream!");

This is your “main” entry point. [Link]() prints to console.

2. Variables and Data Types

java

CopyEdit

int age = 22;

String name = "Sandhiya";

boolean isPlaced = false;

3. Control Structures

java

CopyEdit

if(age >= 18){

[Link]("Eligible");

} else {

[Link]("Not eligible");

for(int i = 1; i <= 5; i++){

[Link](i);
}

PART 2: OOP in Java — Beginner Level

OOP is the heart of Java — and Drivestream will want you to know at least the basics.

1. Class & Object

java

CopyEdit

public class Student {

String name;

int age;

void introduce() {

[Link]("Hi, I'm " + name);

public static void main(String[] args) {

Student s1 = new Student();

[Link] = "Abhi";

[Link] = 21;

[Link]();

2. Inheritance

java

CopyEdit

class Employee {

void work() {

[Link]("Working...");

}
class Developer extends Employee {

void code() {

[Link]("Coding in Java...");

public static void main(String[] args) {

Developer dev = new Developer();

[Link](); // from Employee

[Link](); // from Developer

3. Polymorphism (Method Overriding)

java

CopyEdit

class Animal {

void sound() {

[Link]("Animal sound");

class Dog extends Animal {

void sound() {

[Link]("Bark!");

PART 3: Java + Database (JDBC)

This is super important for Drivestream.

java
CopyEdit

import [Link].*;

public class JdbcExample {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

Connection conn = [Link](

"jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname", "user", "password");

Statement stmt = [Link]();

ResultSet rs = [Link]("SELECT * FROM employees");

while([Link]()) {

[Link]([Link]("name"));

[Link]();
