The Java Program Life Cycle

Java Program Life Cycle

(Image by - Sharma Guides | Subham232330)


Java requires the source code of your program to be compiled first.
It gets converted to machine-specific code, a byte code that is understood by some run-time engine, or a java virtual machine.

Not only will the program be checked for syntax errors by a Java compiler, but some other libraries of Java code can be added (linked) to your program after completing the compilation (deployment stage).

Java Program Life Cycle



* Step1: Create a source document using any editor and save the file as .java (e.g. abc.java)

* Step2: Compile the abc.java file using “javac” command or eclipse will compile it automatically.

* Step3: Byte Code (abc.class) will be generated on disk.

* Step4: This byte code can run on any platform or device having JVM (java.exe convert byte code in machine language)


Let’s get familiar with various terminologies used by java programmers.


* JDK (Java Development Kit): JDK contains JRE along with various development tools like Java libraries, Java source compilers, Java debuggers, bundling and deployment tools

* JRE (Java Runtime Environment): It is part of JDK but can be used independently to run any byte code (compiled java program). It can be called JVM implementation.

* JVM (Java Virtual Machine): ‘JVM’ is software that can be ported to various hardware platforms. JVM will become an instance of JRE at runtime of the java program. Byte codes are the machine language for the JVM. Like a real computing machine, JVM has an instruction set that manipulates various memory areas at run time. Thus for different hardware platforms, one has corresponding the implementation of JVM available as vendor-supplied JREs.

* Java API (Application Programming Interface): A set of classes’ written using Java programming language which runs on JVM. These classes will help programmers by providing standard methods like reading from the console, writing to the console, saving objects in the data structure, etc.


Advantages of Java programming language :

* Built-in support for multi-threading, socket communication, and memory management (automatic garbage collection).

* Object Oriented (OO).

* Better portability than other languages across operating systems.

* Supports Web-based applications (Applet, Servlet, and JSP), distributed applications (sockets, RMI, EJB, etc.), and network protocols (HTTP, JRMP, etc.) with the help of extensive standardized APIs (Application Programming Interfaces).

Normalization Types in DBMS

Normalization Types in DBMS First Normal Form (1NF) A relation will be 1NF if it contains an atomic value.  It states that an attribute of a table cannot hold multiple values. It must hold only single-valued attribute. First normal form disallows the multi-valued attribute, composite attribute, and their combinations. Example: Relation EMPLOYEE is not in 1NF because of multi-valued attribute EMP_PHONE. EMPLOYEE table: EMP_ID EMP_NAME EMP_PHONE EMP_STATE 14 John 7272826385, 9064738238 UP 20 Harry 8574783832 Bihar 12 Sam 7390372389, 8589830302 Punjab The decomposition of the EMPLOYEE table into 1NF has been shown below: EMP_ID EMP_NAME EMP_PHONE EMP_STATE 14 John 7272826385 UP 14 John 9064738238 UP 20 Harry 8574783832 Bihar 12 Sam 7390372389 Punjab 12 Sam 8589830302 Punjab Second Normal Form (2NF) In the 2NF, relational must be in 1NF.  In the second normal form, all non-key attributes are fully functional dependent on the primary key  Example: Let's assume, a school can ...

Authentication vs Authorization

Authentication vs Authorization - Authentication and authorization are the two words used in the security world. They might sound similar but are completely different from each other. Authentication is used to authenticate someone's identity, whereas authorization is a way to provide permission to someone to access a particular resource. These are the two basic security terms and hence need to be understood thoroughly. In this topic, we will discuss what authentication and authorization are and how they are differentiated from each other. What is Authentication? Authentication is the process of identifying someone's identity by assuring that the person is the same as what he is claiming for. It is used by both server and client. The server uses authentication when someone wants to access the information, and the server needs to know who is accessing the information. The client uses it when he wants to know that it is the same server that it claims to be. The authentication by t...

Networking Interview Questions and Answers

Networking Interview Questions and Answers 1) What is a Network? Answer: The network is defined as a set of devices connected to each other through a physical transmission medium. For example, a computer network is a group of computers connected to each other to communicate and share information and resources such as hardware, data, and software. In a network, nodes are used to connect two or more networks. 2) What is a Node? Answer: Two or more computers are directly connected by fiber optics or any other cable. A node is a point where a connection is established. It is a network component used to send, receive, and forward electronic information. A device connected to a network is also called a Node. Let us consider that in a network there are 2 computers, 2 printers, and a server connected, then we can say that there are five nodes in the network. 3) What is Network Topology? Answer:  Network topology is a physical layout of the computer network and defines how computers,...
