A comprehensive hands-on exploration of Java programming concepts
From fundamentals to advanced OOP principles
This repository chronicles my journey through Java programming, featuring practical implementations of core OOP concepts. Each folder contains working examples that demonstrate real-world applications of Java principles.
Perfect for: Beginners learning Java, developers refreshing OOP concepts, or anyone looking for clean, documented code examples.

Building a banking system that showcases how to hide complexity and expose only what matters. Library management system demonstrating various constructor types and object initialization patterns. Type-safe Day enumeration with practical exception handling implementations. Robust error management techniques with custom exceptions and best practices. Proper encapsulation through controlled data access patterns. Shape hierarchies and class relationships that promote code reuse. |
Contract-based programming with multiple inheritance examples. String manipulation programs showcasing method overloading and overriding. Clean code organization with logical namespace structuring. Runtime character selection system demonstrating flexible design. Modern Java prime number checker using concise record syntax. Concurrent programming with multiple loops running in parallel. |
