Section 5: Operator & Expression

📘 Combined Summary:

This section introduces the fundamental concepts of type casting in Java, with a special focus on upcasting and downcasting, crucial for polymorphism, object-oriented design, and runtime behavior in inheritance.

While the section title suggests a general overview of operators and expressions, the content is centered around understanding how object references are cast in inheritance hierarchies.

You’ll explore:

• The concept of upcasting (parent reference → child object)
• The concept of downcasting (child reference ← parent object)
• The rules and risks of each
• Use cases where these casting types are essential (like dynamic method dispatch)

🔍 Core Topics Breakdown

| Concept               | Description                                                                                                                 |
|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Upcasting             | Assigning a child class object to a parent class reference. Safe and implicit.                                              |
| Downcasting           | Converting a parent class reference back to a child class. Requires explicit cast and is potentially unsafe unless checked. |
| Polymorphism          | Enabled through upcasting, where overridden methods in the child class are invoked through the parent class reference.      |
| ClassCastException    | Can occur if downcasting is done without checking the object type using `instanceof`.                                       |

public class CastingDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Animal a = new Dog();  // Upcasting
        a.sound();             // Outputs: Bark

        if (a instanceof Dog) {
            Dog d = (Dog) a;  // Downcasting
            d.fetch();        // Outputs: Dog fetches
        }
    }
}

🔬 Code Patterns in Use

✅ Bitwise Operation Sample

int a = 5;   // 0101
int b = 3;   // 0011
System.out.println(a & b);  // 0001 = 1
System.out.println(a | b);  // 0111 = 7
System.out.println(a ^ b);  // 0110 = 6

✅ Type Casting (Wide → Narrow):

double d = 10.5;int x = (int) d; // narrowing cast, x becomes 10

✅ Recursion Example:

void printOneToN(int n) {
if (n > 0) {
printOneToN(n - 1);
System.out.print(n + " ");
}
}

  • ZonedDateTime, OffsetDateTime → with time zone
  • DateTimeFormatter → for parsing and formatting
  • ChronoField → to access fields like year, month, etc.
• 🕰 Legacy APIs:
  • Date: mutable, thread-unsafe, largely deprecated
  • Calendar/GregorianCalendar: flexible but clunky
• 🌍 TimeZone Handling:
  • Java provides utility through TimeZone, ZoneId, ZonedDateTime
• 🔁 Joda-Time:

Section 27: Network Programming – Datagram Reverse Echo Server

📘 Combined Summary:

This section focuses on UDP-based socket programming using Datagram sockets in Java.

It demonstrates how to create a simple Reverse Echo Server where the server receives a message from the client and sends the reversed message back.

Both a basic and improved version of the client-server implementation are included, illustrating how data packets are sent and received over the network using DatagramSocket and DatagramPacket.

🔑 Key Concepts

|------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|   UDP vs TCP           | No connection state in UDP; faster but not reliable like TCP                        |
|   ByteBuffer Handling  | Data must be manually converted to/from byte arrays                                 |
|   Networking APIs      | Core Java classes: DatagramSocket,DatagramPacket,InetAddress                        |
|   Real-Time Use Cases  | Online games, streaming, IoT — where low latency is more important than reliability |


💡 Pro Tip:  
Unlike TCP, UDP does not guarantee delivery, so it’s ideal for situations where speed is critical and 
some data loss is acceptable. 

Always handle **timeouts and packet size limitations** in real-world applications.

📦 Example:

// Sending a message via Datagram
DatagramSocket socket = new DatagramSocket();
InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("localhost");
byte[] buffer = "hello".getBytes();
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buffer, buffer.length, address, 9876);
socket.send(packet);

// Receiving and reversing
byte[] receiveBuf = new byte[1024];
DatagramPacket received = new DatagramPacket(receiveBuf, receiveBuf.length);
socket.receive(received);
String reversed = new StringBuilder(new String(received.getData())).reverse().toString();

Section 27: Network Programming – Reverse Echo Server (TCP)

📘 Combined Summary:

This part of the Network Programming section explores TCP-based client-server models, focusing on Reverse Echo Servers.

Two approaches are covered:

1. Single Client Server — Handles one client at a time using a standard blocking I/O model.
2. Multi-Client Server — Employs multithreading so multiple clients can connect simultaneously. This is a more realistic implementation of a real-world server.

In both cases, when a client sends a message, the server reverses the string and sends it back — showcasing basic two-way communication using TCP sockets.

🔑 Key Concepts

| Topic                    | Description                                                      |
|--------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| TCP Communication        | Reliable, ordered, and connection-oriented data transmission     |
| Reverse Echo Server      | Server that reverses input and echoes it back to the client      |
| Single-threaded Server   | Only one client can be served at a time                          |
| Multithreaded Server     | Handles each client in a separate thread for concurrent handling |

🔄 Working Mechanism

TCP Server Logic:
- Accept connection using ServerSocket
- For each incoming connection:
  - For single client: process in main thread
  - For multiple clients: spawn a new thread
- Read data, reverse it, write it back

📦 Code Snippet:

// Multithreaded Server Skeleton
ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(9999);
while (true) {
    Socket client = server.accept();
    new Thread(() -> {
        // Handle reversing and responding
    }).start();
}

🧠 Related Topic Overview:

Concept	Relevance:

Threading in Java	Thread, Runnable, or ExecutorService for handling concurrency
TCP vs UDP	TCP ensures reliable delivery with connection state
Sockets API	Socket, ServerSocket, BufferedReader, PrintWriter usage
Concurrency Issues	Thread safety, resource management, and blocking I/O problems.

💡 Tip: Always remember to close sockets and manage threads carefully to avoid resource leaks and port exhaustion. 
Use try-with-resources where possible.

🔗 These foundational network programs are excellent practice for understanding client-server models, socket programming, 
and building scalable backend systems.
