🔹 Topic 26: Exception Handling in Java

✅ Definition:
●​ Exception Handling in Java is a mechanism that allows a
program to detect and respond to runtime errors (exceptions)
in a controlled and user-friendly way, rather than crashing
abruptly.
●​ An exception is an event that disrupts the normal flow of the
program during execution.

✅ Use Case:
Scenario Application
File not found File handling
Invalid user input Web form or CLI input validation
Dividing by zero Arithmetic operations
Null reference access Object access in real-world applications
Array index out of bounds Collection and array operations
✅ Real-Time Usage:
●​ In banking apps: To handle invalid transactions or server
issues.​
●​ In online shopping: To catch cart errors, payment failures.​
●​ In file processing: To handle file not found, access denied, I/O
errors.​

✅ Topic Outcome:
After learning this topic, students will:
●​ Understand the flow and need of exception handling.​

●​ Write resilient applications with try-catch-finally blocks.​


●​ Create and use custom exceptions.​
●​ Use throw and throws properly.

✅ Summary:
●​ Exception handling in Java is critical for building robust,
secure, and stable applications.
●​ It separates error-handling logic from regular code and
prevents the program from crashing due to unexpected errors.

🔹 Compile-Time Exceptions vs Run-Time


Exceptions

✅ 1. Compile-Time Exceptions (Checked Exceptions)


Definition:

●​ These exceptions are checked by the compiler at compile


time.
●​ The compiler ensures they are either handled using
try-catch or declared using throws.
🔹 Common Examples:
●​ IOException​

●​ SQLException​

●​ FileNotFoundException​

●​ ClassNotFoundException

✅ Example:
import [Link];​

public class ThrowsExample {​

// Method that declares it may throw IOException​
static void checkFile() throws IOException {​
throw new IOException("File not found!");​
}​

public static void main(String[] args) {​
try {​
checkFile(); // calling method that throws
exception​
} catch (IOException e) {​
[Link]("Exception caught: " +
[Link]());​
}​
}​
}

If you don’t handle or declare the exception, the compiler


throws an error.
✅ Characteristics:
Feature Compile-Time Exceptions
Checked by compiler ✅ Yes
Must handle or declare ✅ Required
Occurs Before program runs
Causes External operations (file, DB)

✅ When to Use:
●​ File operations​
●​ Database connections​
●​ Network communications

✅ 2. Run-Time Exceptions (Unchecked Exceptions)


Definition:

●​ These are not checked by the compiler.


●​ They occur at runtime, and it's up to the developer to handle
them (optional).
🔹 Common Examples:
●​ ArithmeticException​

●​ NullPointerException​

●​ ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException​

●​ NumberFormatException​

●​ IllegalArgumentException

✅ Example:
public class Example {​
public static void main(String[] args) {​
int a = 10;​
int b = 0;​
int result = a / b; // ArithmeticException at
runtime​
[Link](result);​
}​
}

Code compiles fine, but throws exception at runtime.


✅ Characteristics:
Feature Run-Time Exceptions
Checked by compiler ❌ No
Must handle or declare ❌ Optional
Occurs During execution
Causes Logical errors, bad input

✅ When to Handle:
●​ User inputs​
●​ Object manipulation (null checks)​
●​ Arithmetic logic​
●​ Collections and data access

🔄 Comparison Table:
Aspect Compile-Time Run-Time Exception
Exception
Also Known As Checked Exception Unchecked Exception
Compiler Check ✅
Required ❌ Not required
Handling Must handle or Optional
Requirement declare
Common IOException, NullPointerException,
Examples SQLException ArithmeticException

Typical Cause External issues Logic errors, wrong


(File, DB) operations
Occurs Before execution During execution
Package [Link], [Link] [Link]

✅ Summary:
●​ Compile-time exceptions (checked) must be handled or
declared.​

●​ Run-time exceptions (unchecked) don’t need to be handled,


but should be to avoid crashes.​

●​ Good exception handling strategy involves a mix of


compile-time safety and runtime validation.
🔹 Topic 27: Collections in Java
✅ Definition:
●​ The Collections Framework in Java is a unified architecture
for storing and manipulating groups of data.
●​ It includes a set of interfaces and classes that handle dynamic
data structures like lists, sets, queues, and maps, allowing
efficient storage, retrieval, and manipulation of data.

✅ Use Case:
●​ To manage groups of related objects.​

●​ Dynamic data storage with automatic resizing.​

●​ Efficient searching, sorting, and filtering.​

●​ Real-time modeling of data using maps, sets, queues, etc.


✅ Real-Time Usage:
Real-Time Scenario Collection Usage

E-commerce Cart Use List<Product> to store cart items

Employee Database Use Map<EmpID, Employee> for fast


lookup

Unique Email Storage Use Set<String> to avoid duplicates

Job Scheduling System Use Queue or PriorityQueue

🔹 Topic 29: Implementing Thread


Synchronization and Synchronized Methods in
Java

✅ Definition:
●​ Thread Synchronization in Java is a technique to control the
access of multiple threads to shared resources.
●​ It ensures data consistency when multiple threads try to read
and write shared variables or objects concurrently.
●​ The synchronized keyword in Java is used to lock methods or
blocks so that only one thread can execute them at a time,
preventing race conditions and data inconsistency.

✅ Use Case:
●​ Managing shared resources (e.g., counters, logs, files).​
●​ Avoiding concurrent modification errors.​
●​ Ensuring thread-safe operations in multi-threaded
environments.

✅ Real-Time Usage:
Scenario Why Synchronization is Needed

Bank transactions Prevent double withdrawal from same


system account

Railway booking Avoid issuing the same seat to two users


system

Logging services Prevent interleaved log entries

✅ Thread Lifecycle:
1.​ New​
2.​ Runnable​
3.​ Running​
4.​ Waiting/Blocked/Sleeping​
5.​ Dead/Terminated

What is a Thread?
●​ A Thread is a lightweight subprocess.
●​ It’s the smallest unit of processing that can be performed
concurrently with other threads in a program.
●​ Threads allow parallel execution of tasks.

Java supports multithreading by:


●​ Extending the Thread class
●​ Implementing the Runnable interface
●​ Using ExecutorService (from Java 5 onwards)

Thread Life Cycle in Java:


A thread in Java can be in one of the following states:
NEW → RUNNABLE → RUNNING → BLOCKED/WAITING → TERMINATED
[NEW] --> start() --> [RUNNABLE]

[RUNNING] --> sleep()/wait() -->[WAITING/TIMED_WAITING]

Thread ends

[TERMINATED]

1. Multiprocessing

Definition:

●​ Running multiple processes simultaneously on multiple CPUs


or cores.
Key Idea:

●​ Each process runs independently with its own memory space.


Example:

●​ Running a video editor, browser, and a game at the same time


on different CPU cores.
Real-life analogy:

●​ Multiple chefs (processes) cooking in different kitchens


(separate memory).

2. Multitasking

Definition:

●​ Ability of an operating system to execute multiple tasks


(programs) at the same time by rapidly switching between
them (context switching).

Key Idea:

●​ Tasks appear to run at the same time (on single CPU) or truly
run concurrently on multi-core CPUs.

Types:

Preemptive Multitasking – OS decides when to switch tasks (used


in modern OS).
Cooperative Multitasking – Tasks voluntarily yield control.
Example:

●​ Listening to music while typing a document and downloading


files.
Real-life analogy:

●​ One person (CPU) switching between writing, checking phone,


and eating (tasks).

3. Multithreading

Definition:

●​ Running multiple threads (smaller units of a process) within


the same process concurrently.
Key Idea:

●​ Threads share the same memory space and can communicate


easily, making it lighter than multiprocessing.
Example:

●​ A web browser:
●​ One thread handles UI
●​ One handles network
●​ One handles rendering
Real-life analogy:

●​ One chef (process) preparing multiple dishes (threads) using


the same kitchen (shared memory).

●​ Thread-->class
●​ Runnable-->interface
