Setting Up The Environment Variables for Windows

If you are new to Java Programming or writing Java program for first time, then you  need do some setup for Java JDK. The steps for them are given below:

  1. Install the Java Development Kit (JDK) if you don't have installed earlier. To download it click here and install it.
  2. Setting up the environment variables for Windows 7. 
    • Right click on "Computer" and select "Properties" option as shown in Fig 1.
    • After that you will see the window shown in Fig 2. Click on "Advanced system settings" option then click on "Environment Variables" button and finally search for "Path" system variable and click on "Edit" button as shown in Fig 2.
    • Now go to the directory where you have installed Java JDK here "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin" and copy this path and add this in system variables as shown in Fig 3 and Fig 4.  Please do not delete any text from Variable value just insert semicolon (;) at last and paste the path that you have copied.
    • Then click OK three times. That's it. Now you can run Java programs from anywhere.
  3. To check whether the environment variables are set properly open "Command Prompt" and type "javac"  and press ENTER. You will display the output as shown in Fig 5.

      Program to define a class 'employee' with data members as empid, name and salary. Accept data for 5 objects using Array of objects and print it.

      This program demonstrates you the array of objects.  Array of object  is the collection of objects of the same class. The given syntax will define an array of reference therefore assign object to individual reference in the array to declare the array of object. The syntax to define array of object is: <class-name> <array-name> [size]; For example, the following statement will define an array of object having size 6 references to the class  Box . Box b[6]; For creating an array of objects (allocating memory) you have to write down the following statements for (int i=0; i<6; i++) { b[i] = new Box(); // Assigning object to individual reference in the array. } PROGRAM import java.util.Scanner; public class Employee { int empid; String name; float salary; public void getInput() { Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter the empid :: "); empid = in.nextInt(); System.out.print("Enter the name :: ");

      Program to input age from user and throw user-defined exception if entered age is negative

      An  Exception  is an abnormal condition that arises in a code sequence at run time. Exceptions are run time errors. Exceptions generated by the Java are related to the fundamental errors that violate the Java language constraints. All exception classes are subtypes of the  java.lang.Exception  class. The exception class is a subclass of the  Throwable  class. Java defines several exception classes inside the standard package  java.lang . Some examples of exceptions are  ArithmeticException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, IndexOutOfBoundsException, NullPointerException, NumberFormatException, ClassNotFoundException,etc. When Java Interpreter caught an error such as divide by zero, the interpreter creates an exception object and throws it to inform that an error has occurred. Java has its own exception handling mechanism. It performs the following task: Find the problem –  Hit  the exception Inform that an error has occurred –  Throw  the exception Receives the error infor

      Define a class Student with four data members such as name, roll no.,sub1, and sub2. Define appropriate methods to initialize and display the values of data members. Also calculate total marks and percentage scored by student.

      In this program, first we first create a class  Student  which have data members  name, roll_no, sub1, sub2  and one method to read data here  getdata( )  method and show the result here  show( )  method. We have used  java.io.BufferedReader  class to read data from keyboard at runtime. Then we have created an object of Student class in  StudentDemo  class and called the methods of Student class. When you compile the code using  javac StudentDemo.java  command two .class files will be created which are  Student.class  and  StudentDemo.class , this has the advantage that you can reuse your .class file somewhere in other projects without compiling the code again. You can create as many classes as you want but writing many classes in a single file is not recommended as it makes code difficult to read rather you can create single file for every class. You can also group classes in packages for easily managing your code. PROGRAM import java.lang.*; import java.io.*; class Student {
