Unit 1:	Review of Object Oriented Programming and Java Fundamentals (1) Introduction: History of Java, Java Features, First Sample Program, Java Virtual Machine(JVM) Architecture. (2) OOPs Principles: Object, Class, Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance, Polymorphism. (3) Data Types, Variables, Arrays, Operators, Control Statements: The Primitive Data Types(Integers, Floating-Point Types, Characters, Booleans). Variables and their scope and lifetime. Type Conversion and Casting. Arrays (One-dimensional Arrays, Multidimensional Arrays) declaration, initialization, and usage. Operators (Arithmetic, Increment and Decrement, The Bitwise Operators, Compound Assignments, Relational Operators, Ternary Operator, Operator Precedence). Control Statements (Selection Statements-if, switch, Interation Statements - for, while, and do-while. The Enhanced For Loop (For-Each Loop). Jump Statements (break, continue, return). (4) Introducing Classes: Class Fundamentals, Declaring Objects, Introducing Methods, Constructors(Default, No-argument, Parameterized), The this keyword, Garbage Collection, The finalize( ) Method. (5) A Closer Look at Methods and Classes: Overloading Methods, Automatic Type Conversions in Method Overloading. Overloading Constructors. Using Objects as Parameters. Copy Constructor. A Closer Look at Argument Passing(Call-by-Value, Call-by-Reference). Returning Objects. Recursion (Base Condition, Progressive Approach). Introducing Access Control (public, private, protected, default (package-private)). Understanding Static(static variable, methods, and blocks). Introducing Final.
