Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language used to build

web apps, mobile applications, and enterprise software systems.

Known for its Write Once, Run Anywhere capability, which means code
written in Java can run on any device that supports the Java Virtual
Machine (JVM).
Syntax and structure is similar to C-based languages like C++ and C#.

Why Learn Java?

Used to build Android apps, desktop and web apps, enterprise backend
systems, and cloud-based software.
 In high demand with many job opportunities in software development.
Has popular frameworks like Spring and Hibernate which makes it
powerful for enterprise applications.
Supports object-oriented programming for clean, maintainable and
reusable code.
Top companies like Amazon, Netflix, and LinkedIn use Java.

Arrays
Java arrays are containers that store multiple values of the same data
type in a single variable. They provide an efficient way to manage and
access collections of data using index-based positions.

Strings
Java Strings represent sequences of characters and are widely used in
text processing. They are immutable, meaning once created, their values
cannot be changed.

Regex
Java Regex (Regular Expressions) allows pattern matching and text
manipulation using the [Link] package. It is powerful for
validating, searching, and replacing strings based on specific patterns.

OOP Concepts
Java follows the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) paradigm, which
organizes code into classes and objects. Core OOP principles like
inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, and abstraction make Java
modular and scalable.

What are OOP Concepts?

 Classes and Objects

Interfaces
Java interfaces define a contract that classes must follow, specifying
method signatures without implementations. They enable abstraction and
support multiple inheritance in Java through a clean, structured approach.

Exception Handling
Java Exception Handling is a mechanism to handle runtime errors,
ensuring the program runs smoothly without crashing. It uses keywords
like try, catch, throw, throws, and finally to manage exceptions.

Memory Allocation
Java Memory Allocation refers to how memory is assigned to variables,
objects, and classes during program execution. It involves stack and heap
memory, with the JVM managing allocation and garbage collection
automatically.

Lambda Expressions and Streams

Java Streams and Lambda Expressions simplify data processing by
enabling functional-style operations on collections. Lambdas provide
concise syntax for anonymous functions, while Streams allow efficient
filtering, mapping, and reduction of data.
