Return to OCP Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 17 Developer Study Guide - Exam 1Z0-829, OCP Oracle Certified Professional

OCP Objective Map

This book has been written to cover every objective on both the Developer and Foundation exams.

Java SE 17 Developer (1Z0-829)

The following table provides a breakdown of this book's exam coverage for the Java SE 17 Developer (1Z0-829) exam, showing you the chapter where each objective or subobjective is covered.

Exam Objective Chapter

• Handling date, time, text, numeric and boolean values
• Use primitives and wrapper classes including Math API, parentheses, type promotion, and casting to evaluate arithmetic and boolean expressions 1, 2, 4
• Manipulate text, including text blocks, using String and StringBuilder classes 4
• Manipulate date, time, duration, period, instant and time-zone objects using Date-Time API 4

• Controlling Program Flow
  • Create program flow control constructs including if/else, switch statements and expressions, loops, and break and continue statements 3

• Utilizing Java Object-Oriented Approach
  • Declare and instantiate Java objects including nested class objects, and explain the object life-cycle including creation, reassigning references, and garbage collection 1, 7
  • Create classes and records, and define and use instance and static fields and methods, constructors, and instance and static initializers 5, 6, 7
  • Implement overloading, including var-arg methods 5
• Understand variable scopes, use local variable type inference, apply encapsulation, and make objects immutable 1, 6, 7, 8
  • Implement polymorphism and differentiate object type versus reference type. Perform type casting, identify object types using instanceof operator and pattern matching 3, 6, 7
  • Create and use interfaces, identify functional interfaces, and utilize private, static, and default interface methods 7, 8
  • Create and use enumerations with fields, methods and constructors 7

• Handling Exceptions
  • Handle exceptions using try/catch/finally, try-with-resources, and multi-catch blocks, including custom exceptions 11

• Working with Arrays and Collections
  • Create Java arrays, List, Set, Map, and Deque collections, and add, remove, update, retrieve and sort their elements 4, 9

• Working with Streams and Lambda expressions
  • Use Java object and primitive Streams, including lambda expressions implementing functional interfaces, to supply, filter, map, consume, and sort data 10
• Perform decomposition, concatenation and reduction, and grouping and partitioning on sequential and parallel streams 10, 13

• Packaging and deploying Java code and use the Java Platform Module System
  • Define modules and their dependencies, expose module content including for reflection. Define services, producers, and consumers 12

• Compile Java code, produce modular and non-modular jars, runtime images, and implement migration using unnamed and automatic modules 12

• Managing concurrent code execution
  • Create worker threads using Runnable and Callable, manage the thread lifecycle, including automations provided by different Executor services and concurrent API 13
  • Develop thread-safe code, using different locking mechanisms and concurrent API 13
  • Process Java collections concurrently including the use of parallel streams 13

• Using Java I/O API
  • Read and write console and file data using I/O Streams 14
  • Serialize and de-serialize Java objects 14
  • Create, traverse, read, and write Path objects and their properties using NIO API 14

• Accessing databases using JDBC
  • Create connections, create and execute basic, prepared and callable statements, process query results and control transactions using JDBC API 15

• Implementing Localization
  • Implement localization using locales, resource bundles, parse and format messages, dates, times, and numbers including currency and percentage values 11

Java Foundations (1Z0-811)

The following table provides a breakdown of this book's exam coverage for the Java Foundations (1Z0-811) exam, showing you the chapter where each objective or subobjective is covered.

A few topics are on the Java Foundations exam but not the 1Z0-829. Those are covered here:

Additionally, the objectives may be updated if Oracle updates the Java Foundations exam for a later version of Java. Check our website for those updates as well.
