Introduction
Welcome to Day 1 – Night Session of your ECET 2026 CSE preparation journey! Java is one of the most powerful and widely-used programming languages in the world. As per the C-23 curriculum, understanding the basics of Java and its setup environment is crucial for scoring well in the Computer Science section of ECET. This session gives you a simple yet solid start with key concepts and 10 expected MCQs for practice.
📘 Concept Notes: Java – Introduction & Setup
🌟 What is Java?
Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle). It is known for its platform independence due to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Key Features of Java:
- 🟢 Object-Oriented – Everything is treated as an object.
- 🔁 Platform Independent – “Write Once, Run Anywhere” using JVM.
- 🔒 Secure – Built-in security features like bytecode verification and sandboxing.
- ⚙️ Robust & Portable – Strong memory management and error handling.
- ⚡ Multithreaded & Dynamic – Efficient use of system resources.
🛠️ Java Setup Process
To write and run Java programs, you need the following components installed:
1️⃣ JDK (Java Development Kit)
- It includes JRE + Development Tools (compiler
javac
, debugger, etc.).
2️⃣ JRE (Java Runtime Environment)
- It allows you to run Java applications using JVM.
3️⃣ IDE (Integrated Development Environment) – Optional but helpful
- Examples: Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans
✅ Setup Steps (Windows):
- Download JDK from Oracle’s Official Site
- Install it and set environment variable
JAVA_HOME
. - Add JDK’s
/bin
path to the System Path. - Open CMD and run
java -version
andjavac -version
to verify installation.
