Scjp 1.5 Vs Scjp1.6

hi friends i was plan to write scjp1.6 but still i am change my plan to write scjp 1.5..
If may finish scjp1.5 Is this useful or not useful because of oldest one ?
...............................................................................................................Thank you ...................................
Mr.Javan

the only reason to go for an older version is if you have spent a lot of time already preparing for that older version and don't see yourself using the new version of the language.

Question related to SCJP 6 certification

Hi Everyone,
Just have question related to SCJP Exam.
I have started to prepare for SCJP 6 from yesterday (3-4 hours in a day) and I am planning to take SCJP exam in march last week. can u suggest books, which I need to go through..and also I need to write exam at earliest..Do I need to take more than one month for preparation....or less than that is it possible for good knowledge and score?
Thanks,
Naveen

Hello Naveen,
I am also goining to write SCJP1.6 exam(hopefully this month end).
I am referring Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates SCJP1.6. It is an awesome book and it include 350+ mock question excluding the ones you get at end of each chapter.
I dont know whats the level of your Java knowledge. In my opinion someone who has a fair amount of knowledge of the subject should take atleast 2 month of preparation before taking the exam. Syllabus for SCJP6 is more or less easy(except for few concepts) but you know what makes it a difficult exam is the minor details which we tend to ignore while studying the Java subject.
Also the questions will contain more than 1 correct answer which you cant answer correctly unless you have pracised a lot of mock exams.
So my advise to you is :take time to brush up the minor details of the subject and do lot of mock tests. That ways you can ensure good marks.Dont hurry, else you may clear the exam but not with good percentile.
Thats all knowledge I wish to give you.
Let me know if you want some more.
Best of Luck for your exam,
Best regards,
Suvojit CHAKRABORTY

hi saideep....
this is vinny...i have recently given scjp1.4 and passed with 91%
if you wants to prepare scjp1.4 khalid mughal is sufficient but if you wants to try for scjp5.0 kathy sierra is good as khalid doesn't covers some latest topics from
scjp5.0 curriculum like AUTOBOXING,STATIC IMPORTS etc.
if you want any help you may consult me.
best of luck

Syllabus for SCJP 6.0

Hello there,
I am preparing for SCJP 6.0 and using the book SCJP1.6 by kathy seirra and bert bates. Can you please tell me if there is anything else that I will have to study to cover the syllabus for the exam..
The reason why I am asking is that I am taking mock exams and few of the questions are based on some topics that are not in the book.....
Can you please send me the information?
Thanks!

Is it necessary to have an scjp certification to be a java programmer

hi i have been programming in java for quite some time now , i have heard a lot about SCJP .
Right now i am in college doing my grad. and java is not a part of our curriculum
i am quite comfortable with java and want to make my career as a java programmer.
i just want to know one thing from some professionals on the forum that is it very necessary to have an SCJP Certification if i want to apply in some big companies as a java programmer since i wont be having any other certifications that i have done java .
please tell me if it would be good for me if i do an SCJP course
Regards

hi i have been programming in java for quite some
time now , i have heard a lot about SCJP .
In that case you should already know the answer to your stated question...

SCJP Certification if i want to apply in some big

any other certifications that i have done java .
Can't hurt, probably won't help either.
please tell me if it would be good for me if i do an
SCJP course
Formal training never hurts.

I want to appear for SCJP.Please help me

I am a beginner in Java and wants to do SCJP .Please can some one tell me how do i start preparing and how long will it take?

you start by finding out what you're supposed to know to pass the exam.
That's the easy part, you should be able to find that information on Sun's certification website yourself. If you can't give up immediately.
Then you start learning that stuff.

Online resource for SCJP

Hi All
Is there any online resource from where I get the material for SCJP or
kind of online exam I can go thru for practice
plz let me know
Thanks
Niraj

Hi,
You may also wish to take a look at : http://www.javacertificate.com/
I found this site very useful when I was studying for the SCJP exam. It has practice questions which are also split into subjects allowing you to study a single area at a time. It also contains mock exams.
Hope this helps.

SCJP prep help -- bitwise bad boys?

Hi,
I'm studying for SCJP so obviously one of the details I have to brush up on are the oft-unused bitwise operators: & | ^ ~
I'm wondering if there are any mental techniques to using these in your head. Instead of literally writing out the number in binary, performing the comparison, and then re-converting back to decimal.
Similar to how in grade school we learn that you can take a shortcut of multiplying two long numbers:
34563
x 24
and do these steps:
3 * 4 = 12, carry the 1
6 * 4 = 24, add the 1 is 25, carry the 2
5 * 4 = 20, add the 2 is 22, carry the 2
4 * 4 = 16, add the 2 is 18, carry the 1
3 * 4 = 12, add the 1, it all equals 138252
next line
then pad a zero on the right
3 * 2 = 6
6 * 2 = 12, carry the 1
5 * 2 = 10, add the 1 is 11, carry the 1
4 * 2 = 8, add the 1 is 9
3 * 2 = 6, it all equals 691260
altogether the answer is 691260 + 138252 = 829512
In other words, while it's not feasible to add 34563 to itself 24 times (23 actually), there is a trick to figuring it out. Is there something like that for bitwise operators?
Thanks.

Thanks -- I finally collated some good tips a few days after I posted that here, with some help from local LUGgers. I'll post them here for the archives:
Would you mind posting a summary of the helpful tips, tricks, and
shortcuts sent your way? I'm rather interested in understanding this
stuff a little better myself.Sure. In fact, they say you really know something well when you can
explain it to someone else, and this gives anyone a chance to correct me
if I'm wrong in what I think I know. Here's some of the things I
learned, combined with what I had already learned from my book (please
do correct me if I'm wrong):
1. The unary bitwise NOT operator (~) has a shortcut, but one which
only works when two's complement is in effect. On systems in which
one's complement is in effect, it doesn't work. The shortcut is that
any number n has a bitwise NOT of -n - 1. So
~5 == -6
~-12 == 11
Because I'm fortunate enough to be working in Java where you're writing
for only one platform (the JVM, which has a spec), I don't have to worry
about exceptions to this for the test.
2. Other than the NOT operator, the bitwise operators are binary
operators, working on pairs of numbers. The bitwise AND operator
returns a 1 for each pair of bits that are both 1.
So in the case of
11001 & 10011
the result is 10001 (because only the first and last digits are both 1).
The bitwise OR (|) operator returns a 1 for situations in which either
pair of bits has a 1.
So in the case of
11001 | 10011
the result is 11011 (because the only place in both numbers where there
is no 1 is the third digit).
The bitwise XOR (^) operator returns a 1 for situations in which either
pair of bits, but not both, has a 1 (hence the name "exclusive OR", or XOR).
So in the case of
11001 ^ 10011
the result is 01010 (because in the first, third, and fifth digits,
either both numbers are 0 or 1).
The short circuit operators AND (&&) and OR (||) work just like their
regular counterparts except they stop evaluating once they "know" the
result (AND stops evaluating if the first operand is false, and OR stops
evaluating if the first operand is true).
3. So my original question, "does anyone know any mental shortcuts for
working with bitwise operators", should have been phrased as "does
anyone know any mental shortcuts for converting decimal numbers to
binary". The answer, which a couple of people provided, was that it's
much easier to convert to binary (even if only in your head) when you
are working from octal or hexadecimal, and that it's not too difficult
to convert from decimal to octal or hexadecimal.
Several ways were suggested:
a) Convert the number to hex, then do the comparison a byte at a time in
your head using a table:
& 0x01 0x02 ... 0xff
0x01 0x01 0x00 0x01
0x02 0x00 0x02 0x02
0xff 0x01 0x02 0xff
b) Convert the number to octal using a simple recursive divide-by-eight
solution:
divide the number by eight, store the remainder as the low bit depth
(rightmost number), then repeat the process with the quotient.
123 / 8 = 15 remainder 3 -- 3 is rightmost digit (3)
15 / 8 = 1 remainder 7 -- 7 is next to 3 (73)
we don't divide 1 by 8 -- 1 is next to 7 (173)
so 123 in octal is 0173
From octal it's much easier to see the binary form of the number:
1 7 3
001 111 011
And from binary it's much easier to do a bitwise calculation.
c) Another way to convert to binary is to simply keep dividing by two
and assigning 1 if there's a remainder and 0 if there isn't, then read
in reverse to get the binary number:
<quote>
If a number is even, dividing it by 2 will have 0 remainder.
If it is odd, dividing it by 2 will have a 1 remainder. Dividing
by 2 is so easy that I, at least, can just write down a column of
successive halvings, along with 1s and 0s for their oddness.
459 1
229 1
114 0
57 1
28 0
14 0
7 1
3 1
1 1
Reading from bottom to top, we again get 111001011. In this
presentation you stop when the quotient is 1, since you've already
written down the remainder that you'd get by dividing 1 by 2 when
you write down the oddness. Remainder when dividing by 2 is easier
than quotient.
</quote>
d) A final useful tip mentioned: as long as x is not zero,
x & -x
will always evaluate to a power of two, which means only one bit is set
in the number (the least significant of the bits of x that were 1s).
4. And everyone agreed that it's foolish to do these kinds of
computations in your head when there's no good reason not to use a
computer to do it. My personal preference is to use Python since the
interactive interpreter works just like a calculator, though any
scripting language should probably be able to handle the calculations.
(Here's a quick sample:)
|$ python
|Python 2.2.2 (#1, Dec 31 2002, 12:24:34)
|[GCC 3.2 20020927 (prerelease)] on cygwin
|Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
|>>> 12 & 14
|12
|>>> 12 | 14
|14
|>>> 12 ^ 14
|2
|>>> ~12
|-13
|>>> myResult = 0x5422CA66 & 458
|>>> myResult
|66
|>>> hex(myResult)
|'0x42'
(hey, it wouldn't be a LUG without a little evangelism, would it? :)
Much thanks to Bill, Jason, Kevin, and YATArchivist.

Re: Need Help In SCJP Exam.

Everything can be handled by Sun's SCJP site, which I found as the first entry in Google under "SCJP".
1) http://www.sun.com/training/certification/java/scjp.xml
2) Any promotions are at that page, unless you have something special with a partnership or something.
3) http://www.amazon.com, search for SCJP
4) http://www.sun.com/training/certification/java/scjp.xml
5) http://www.sun.com/training/certification/java/scjp.xml
6) There's a lot of info on the Sun site and around the web by searching for SCJP, but if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask here.

Hey Thanks
i would like to know one question's answer.
as i heard Sun Exam voucher is the same for all the exams (SCJP,SCWCD,SCBCD,SCDJWS,SCJA,SCEA-Part1,SCMAD).
so how do i will get for scjp 1.6 exam voucher i need to ask in examination center or while scheduling i can schedule for SCJP 1.6.
Thank for Reply.
