 * This adds 1 to count
 */
count++; // Don't do this!

/**
 * Calculates the monthly payment for a loan

 * @param rate Annual interest rate (as decimal)
 * @param years Loan term in years

Execution Process Details
#

๐Ÿš€ Runtime Steps
#

  1. Class Loading

    • JVM loads .class files
    • Bootstrap, Extension, System classloaders
  2. Linking

    • Verification: Bytecode security check
    • Preparation: Static variable memory allocation
    • Resolution: Symbolic references to direct references
  3. Initialization

    • Static variables initialized
    • Static blocks executed
  4. Execution

    • main() method called
    • JIT compilation for performance
๐Ÿ” Memory Management: JVM automatically handles memory allocation and garbage collection during execution.

Import Statements and CLASSPATH
#

๐Ÿ“š Import Statement Types
#

๐Ÿ” Import Categories
#

Single Type Import:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.time.LocalDate;

On-Demand Import:

import java.util.*;  // All classes in util package
import java.io.*;    // All classes in io package

Static Import:

import static java.lang.Math.PI;
import static java.lang.Math.sqrt;
import static java.lang.System.out;

// Now can use directly
double area = PI * radius * radius;
double hypotenuse = sqrt(a*a + b*b);
out.println("Result: " + result);

โšก Import Best Practices
#

  • Prefer specific imports over wildcard
  • Avoid unused imports (IDE warnings)
  • Group related imports logically
  • Use static imports sparingly

Well-Organized Imports:

package edu.gtu.ict.students;

// Standard library imports
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Scanner;

// Third-party library imports
import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;

// Static imports (if needed)
import static java.lang.Math.PI;
import static java.lang.System.out;

public class ImportExample {
    // Class implementation
}

๐Ÿ›ค๏ธ Understanding CLASSPATH
#

# Set classpath for compilation
javac -cp "lib/commons-lang3-3.12.jar:." StudentManager.java

# Set classpath for execution
java -cp "lib/commons-lang3-3.12.jar:." StudentManager

# Using environment variable (Windows)
set CLASSPATH=lib\commons-lang3-3.12.jar;.
javac StudentManager.java

# Using environment variable (Linux/Mac)
export CLASSPATH=lib/commons-lang3-3.12.jar:.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
#

โŒ Class Name Mismatch Error

Error Message:

error: class HelloWorld is public, should be declared in a file named HelloWorld.java

Problem:

// File: Welcome.java
public class HelloWorld {  // โŒ Class name doesn't match filename
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

Solutions:

  1. Rename file to match class: HelloWorld.java
  2. Or rename class to match file: public class Welcome
  3. Or remove public modifier: class HelloWorld

โŒ Package Declaration Issues

Error Message:

error: package edu.gtu.ict does not exist

Problem & Solution:

// โŒ Wrong: File in wrong directory
package edu.gtu.ict;  // But file is in root directory

// โœ… Correct: Create proper directory structure
src/
โ””โ”€โ”€ edu/
    โ””โ”€โ”€ gtu/
        โ””โ”€โ”€ ict/
            โ””โ”€โ”€ Student.java

Compilation:

# Compile from src directory
javac edu/gtu/ict/Student.java

# Or use -d option
javac -d . edu/gtu/ict/Student.java

โŒ Main Method Not Found

Error Message:

Error: Main method not found in class Test

Common Problems:

// โŒ Wrong signature variations
public void main(String[] args) { }        // Missing static
static void main(String[] args) { }        // Missing public
public static void main(String args) { }   // Wrong parameter type
public static int main(String[] args) { }  // Wrong return type

// โœ… Correct signature
public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("This works!");
}

โŒ Import and CLASSPATH Issues

Error Message:

error: package com.external does not exist

Diagnosis Steps:

  1. Check if library JAR exists
  2. Verify CLASSPATH includes the JAR
  3. Confirm package name spelling
  4. Ensure JAR contains the package

Solution Example:

# List contents of JAR file
jar -tf external-lib.jar

# Compile with explicit classpath
javac -cp "external-lib.jar:." MyClass.java

# Run with explicit classpath
java -cp "external-lib.jar:." MyClass

Debugging Tips
#

๐Ÿ” Common Issues
#

Compilation Problems:

  • Check file name vs class name
  • Verify proper syntax
  • Look for missing semicolons
  • Check brace matching

Runtime Problems:

  • Ensure main method signature is correct
  • Check classpath issues
  • Verify input/output operations

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Debugging Strategies
#

Step-by-Step Approach:

  1. Read error messages carefully
  2. Identify line numbers
  3. Check syntax at error location
  4. Use print statements for debugging
  5. Comment out problematic code

Tools:

  • IDE debugger
  • System.out.println() statements
  • Stack trace analysis
  • Code review with peers
๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip: Always read error messages completely - they often tell you exactly what's wrong!
