Introduction Anatomy of a Java Program

– Comments

– Package

– Reserved words

– Modifiers

– Statements

– Blocks

– Classes

– Methods

– The main method


Comments

In Java, comments are preceded by two slashes (//) in a line, or enclosed between /* and */ in one or multiple lines. When the compiler sees //, it ignores all text after // in the same line. When it sees /*, it scans for the next */ and ignores any text between /* and */.


Package

The second line in the program (package chapter1;) specifies a package name, chapter1, for the class Welcome. IDE compiles the source code in Welcome.java, generates Welcome.class, and stores Welcome.class in the chapter1 folder.


Reserved Words

Reserved words or keywords are words that have a specific meaning to the compiler and cannot be used for other purposes in the program. For example, when the compiler sees the word class, it understands that the word after class is the name for the class. Other reserved words in Listing 1.1 are public, static, and void. Their use will be introduced later in the book.


Modifiers

Java uses certain reserved words called modifiers that specify the properties of the data, methods, and classes and how they can be used. Examples of modifiers are public and static. Other modifiers are private, final, abstract, and protected. A public datum, method, or class can be accessed by other programs. A private datum or method cannot be accessed by other programs. Modifiers are discussed in Chapter 6, “Objects and Classes.”


Classes

The class is the essential Java construct. A class is a template or blueprint for objects. To program in Java, you must understand classes and be able to write and use them. The mystery of the class will continue to be unveiled throughout this course. For now, though, understand that a program is defined by using one or more classes.


MethodsWhat is System.out.println? It is a method: a collection of statements that performs a sequence of operations to display a message on the console. It can be used even without fully understanding the details of how it works. It is used by invoking a statement with a string argument. The string argument is enclosed within parentheses. In this case, the argument is "Welcome to Java!" You can call the same println method with a different argument to print a different message.


main MethodThe main method provides the control of program flow. The Java interpreter executes the application by invoking the main method.

The main method looks like this:

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Statements;

}


Displaying Text in a Message Dialog Box

you can use the showMessageDialog method in the JOptionPane class. JOptionPane is one of the many predefined classes in the Java system, which can be reused rather than “reinventing the wheel.”

RunRun

SourceSourceIMPORTANT NOTE: To run the program from the Run button, (1) set c:\jdk1.5.0\bin for path, and (2) install slides from the Instructor Resource Website to a directory (e.g., c:\LiangIR) .


The showMessageDialog Method

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to Java!", “Display Message", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE));


Identifiers An identifier is a sequence of characters that consist of

letters, digits, underscores (_), and dollar signs ($). An identifier must start with a letter, an underscore (_),

or a dollar sign ($). It cannot start with a digit. – An identifier cannot be a reserved word. (See Appendix A,

“Java Keywords,” for a list of reserved words).

An identifier cannot be true, false, ornull.

An identifier can be of any length.


Variables

// Compute the first arearadius = 1.0;area = radius * radius * 3.14159;System.out.println("The area is “ + area + " for radius "+radius);

// Compute the second arearadius = 2.0;area = radius * radius * 3.14159;System.out.println("The area is “ + area + " for radius "+radius);


Declaring Variablesint x; // Declare x to be an // integer variable;

double radius; // Declare radius to // be a double variable;

char a; // Declare a to be a // character variable;


Assignment Statements

x = 1; // Assign 1 to x;

radius = 1.0; // Assign 1.0 to radius;

a = 'A'; // Assign 'A' to a;


Declaring and Initializingin One Step

int x = 1;

double d = 1.4;


Constants

final datatype CONSTANTNAME = VALUE;

final double PI = 3.14159;

final int SIZE = 3;


Numerical Data Types

Name Range Storage Size

byte –27 (-128) to 27–1 (127) 8-bit signed

short –215 (-32768) to 215–1 (32767) 16-bit signed

int –231 (-2147483648) to 231–1 (2147483647) 32-bit signed

long –263 to 263–1 64-bit signed (i.e., -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807)

float Negative range: 32-bit IEEE 754 -3.4028235E+38 to -1.4E-45 Positive range: 1.4E-45 to 3.4028235E+38

double Negative range: 64-bit IEEE 754 -1.7976931348623157E+308 to -4.9E-324 Positive range: 4.9E-324 to 1.7976931348623157E+308


Numeric Operators

Name Meaning Example Result

+ Addition 34 + 1 35 - Subtraction 34.0 – 0.1 33.9 * Multiplication 300 * 30 9000 / Division 1.0 / 2.0 0.5 % Remainder 20 % 3 33.9


Integer Division

+, -, *, /, and %

5 / 2 yields an integer 2.

5.0 / 2 yields a double value 2.5

5 % 2 yields 1 (the remainder of the division)


Remainder OperatorRemainder is very useful in programming. For example, an even number % 2 is always 0 and an odd number % 2 is always 1. So you can use this property to determine whether a number is even or odd. Suppose today is Saturday and you and your friends are going to meet in 10 days. What day is in 10 days? You can find that day is Tuesday using the following expression:

Saturday is the 6th day in a week A week has 7 days

January has 31 days The 2nd day in a week is Tuesday

(6 + 31) % 7 is 2


Scientific Notation

Floating-point literals can also be specified in scientific notation, for example, 1.23456e+2, same as 1.23456e2, is equivalent to 123.456, and 1.23456e-2 is equivalent to 0.0123456. E (or e) represents an exponent and it can be either in lowercase or uppercase.


Arithmetic Expressions

)94

(9))(5(10

43

y

x

xx

cbayx

is translated to

(3+4*x)/5 – 10*(y-5)*(a+b+c)/x + 9*(4/x + (9+x)/y)


Example: Converting Temperatures

Write a program that converts a Fahrenheit degree to Celsius using the formula:

)32)(( 95 fahrenheitcelsius


Shortcut Assignment Operators

Operator Example Equivalent

+= i += 8 i = i + 8

-= f -= 8.0 f = f - 8.0

*= i *= 8 i = i * 8

/= i /= 8 i = i / 8

%= i %= 8 i = i % 8


Increment andDecrement Operators

Operator Name Description++var preincrement The expression (++var) increments var

by 1 and evaluates to the new value in var after the

increment.var++ postincrement The expression (var++) evaluates to the

original value in var and increments var by 1.

--var predecrement The expression (--var) decrements var by 1 and evaluates

to the new value in var after the decrement.

var-- postdecrement The expression (var--) evaluates to the original value

in var and decrements var by 1.


Increment andDecrement Operators, cont.

int i = 10; int newNum = 10 * i++;

int newNum = 10 * i; i = i + 1;

Same effect as

int i = 10; int newNum = 10 * (++i);

i = i + 1; int newNum = 10 * i;

Same effect as


Increment andDecrement Operators, cont.

Using increment and decrement operators makes expressions short, but it also makes them complex and difficult to read. Avoid using these operators in expressions that modify multiple variables, or the same variable for multiple times

Such as this: int k = ++i + i.


Assignment Expressions and Assignment Statements

Prior to Java 2, all the expressions can be used as statements. Since Java 2, only the following types of expressions can be statements:

variable op= expression; // Where op is +, -, *, /, or %

++variable;

variable++;

--variable;

variable--;


Numeric Type Conversion

Consider the following statements:

byte i = 100;

long k = i * 3 + 4;

double d = i * 3.1 + k / 2;


Conversion RulesWhen performing a binary operation involving two operands of different types, Java automatically converts the operand based on the following rules:

1. If one of the operands is double, the other is

converted into double.2. Otherwise, if one of the operands is float, the other is

converted into float.3. Otherwise, if one of the operands is long, the other is

converted into long.4. Otherwise, both operands are converted into int.


Type CastingImplicit casting double d = 3; (type widening)

Explicit casting int i = (int)3.0; (type narrowing) int i = (int)3.9; (Fraction part is truncated)

What is wrong? int x = 5 / 2.0;

byte, short, int, long, float, double

range increases


Character Data Type

char letter = 'A'; (ASCII)

char numChar = '4'; (ASCII)

char letter = '\u0041'; (Unicode)

char numChar = '\u0034'; (Unicode)

Four hexadecimal digits.

NOTE: The increment and decrement operators can also be used on char variables to get the next or preceding Unicode character. For example, the following statements display character b

char ch = 'a';

System.out.println(++ch);


Unicode FormatJava characters use Unicode, a 16-bit encoding scheme established by the Unicode Consortium to support the interchange, processing, and display of written texts in the world’s diverse languages. Unicode takes two bytes, preceded by \u, expressed in four hexadecimal numbers that run from '\u0000' to '\uFFFF'. So, Unicode can represent 65535 + 1 characters.

Unicode \u03b1 \u03b2 \u03b3 for three Greek letters


Example: Displaying Unicodes

Write a program that displays two Chinese characters and three Greek letters.

DisplayUnicodeDisplayUnicode RunRun


Escape Sequences for Special Characters

Description Escape Sequence Unicode

Backspace \b \u0008

Tab \t \u0009

Linefeed \n \u000A

Carriage return \r \u000D

Backslash \\ \u005C

Single Quote \' \u0027

Double Quote \" \u0022


Appendix B: ASCII Character SetASCII Character Set is a subset of the Unicode from \u0000 to \u007f


ASCII Character Set, cont.ASCII Character Set is a subset of the Unicode from \u0000 to \u007f


Casting between char and Numeric Types

int i = 'a'; // Same as int i = (int)'a';

char c = 97; // Same as char c = (char)97;


The String Type The char type only represents one character. To represent a string of characters, use the data type called String. For example, String message = "Welcome to Java"; String is actually a predefined class in the Java library just like the System class and JOptionPane class. The String type is not a primitive type. It is known as a reference type. Any Java class can be used as a reference type for a variable. Reference data types will be thoroughly discussed in Chapter 6, “Classes and Objects.” For the time being, you just need to know how to declare a String variable, how to assign a string to the variable, and how to concatenate strings.


String Concatenation // Three strings are concatenatedString message = "Welcome " + "to " + "Java"; // String Chapter is concatenated with number 2String s = "Chapter" + 2; // s becomes Chapter2 // String Supplement is concatenated with character BString s1 = "Supplement" + 'B'; // s becomes SupplementB


Obtaining Input1. Using JOptionPane input dialogs

2. Using Scanner class


Getting Input from Input Dialog Boxes

String string = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(

null, “Prompting Message”, “Dialog Title”,

JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE));


Two Ways to Invoke the Method There are several ways to use the showInputDialog method. For the time being, you only need to know two ways to invoke it.One is to use a statement as shown in the example:

String string = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, x, y, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE));

where x is a string for the prompting message, and y is a string for the title of the input dialog box.

The other is to use a statement like this:JOptionPane.showInputDialog(x);

where x is a string for the prompting message.


Converting Strings to Integers

The input returned from the input dialog box is a string. If you enter a numeric value such as 123, it returns “123”. To obtain the input as a number, you have to convert a string into a number. To convert a string into an int value, you can use the static parseInt method in the Integer class as follows: int intValue = Integer.parseInt(intString); where intString is a numeric string such as “123”.


Converting Strings to Doubles

To convert a string into a double value, you can use the static parseDouble method in the Double class as follows:

double doubleValue =Double.parseDouble(doubleString);

where doubleString is a numeric string such as “123.45”.


Example: Computing Loan Payments

ComputeLoanComputeLoan RunRun

This program lets the user enter the interest rate, number of years, and loan amount and computes monthly payment and total payment.

12)1(11

arsnumberOfYeerestRatemonthlyInt

erestRatemonthlyIntloanAmount


Example: Monetary Units

This program lets the user enter the amount in decimal representing dollars and cents and output a report listing the monetary equivalent in single dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. Your program should report maximum number of dollars, then the maximum number of quarters, and so on, in this order.

ComputeChangeComputeChange RunRun


Example: Displaying Current TimeWrite a program that displays current time in GMT in the format hour:minute:second such as 1:45:19.

The currentTimeMillis method in the System class returns the current time in milliseconds since the midnight, January 1, 1970 GMT. (1970 was the year when the Unix operating system was formally introduced.) You can use this method to obtain the current time, and then compute the current second, minute, and hour as follows.

ShowCurrentTimeShowCurrentTime

System.CurrentTimeMills()


Getting Input Using Scanner1. Create a Scanner object

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

2. Use the methods next(), nextByte(), nextShort(), nextInt(), nextLong(), nextFloat(), nextDouble(), or nextBoolean() to obtain to a string, byte, short, int, long, float, double, or boolean value. For example,

System.out.print("Enter a double value: ");Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);double d = scanner.nextDouble();

Programming Style and Documentation

Appropriate Comments Naming Conventions Proper Indentation and Spacing

Lines Block Styles


Appropriate Comments

Include a summary at the beginning of the program to explain what the program does, its key features, its supporting data structures, and any unique techniques it uses.

Include your name, class section, instructor, date, and a brief description at the beginning of the program.


Naming Conventions

Choose meaningful and descriptive names.

Variables and method names– Use lowercase. If the name consists of several

words, concatenate all in one, use lowercase for the first word, and capitalize the first letter of each subsequent word in the name. For example, the variables radius and area, and the method computeArea.


Naming Conventions, cont.

Class names: – Capitalize the first letter of each word in

the name. For example, the class name ComputeArea.

Constants: – Capitalize all letters in constants, and use

underscores to connect words. For example, the constant PI and MAX_VALUE


Proper Indentation and Spacing

Indentation– Indent two spaces.

Spacing – Use blank line to separate segments of the code.


Block Styles

Use end-of-line style for braces.

public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Block Styles"); } }

public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Block Styles"); } }

End-of-line style

Next-line style


The boolean Type and Operators

Often in a program you need to compare two values, such as whether i is greater than j. Java provides six comparison operators (also known as relational operators) that can be used to compare two values. The result of the comparison is a Boolean value: true or false.

boolean b = (1 > 2);


Comparison Operators

Operator Name

< less than

<= less than or equal to

> greater than

Examples

System.out.println("Is " + num + " divisible by 2 and 3? " +

((num % 2 == 0) && (num % 3 == 0)));

System.out.println("Is " + num + " divisible by 2 or 3? " +

((num % 2 == 0) || (num % 3 == 0)));

System.out.println("Is " + num +

" divisible by 2 or 3, but not both? " +

((num % 2 == 0) ^ (num % 3 == 0)));


Example: Determining Leap Year?

LeapYearLeapYear RunRun

This program first prompts the user to enter a year as an int value and checks if it is a leap year.

A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4 but not by 100, or it is divisible by 400.

(year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || (year % 400 == 0)

Example: An Advanced Math Learning Tool

The Math subtraction learning tool program generates just one question for each run. You can use a loop to generate questions repeatedly. This example gives a program that generates ten questions and reports the number of the correct answers after a student answers all ten questions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To run the program from the Run button, (1) set c:\jdk1.5.0\bin for path, and (2) install slides from the Instructor Resource Website to a directory (e.g., c:\LiangIR) .

Ending a Loop with a Sentinel Value

Often the number of times a loop is executed is not predetermined. You may use an input value to signify the end of the loop. Such a value is known as a sentinel value.

Write a program that reads and calculates the sum of an unspecified number of integers. The input 0 signifies the end of the input.

CautionDon’t use floating-point values for equality checking in a loop control. Since floating-point values are approximations, using them could result in imprecise counter values and inaccurate results. This example uses int value for data. If a floating-point type value is used for data, (data != 0) may be true even though data is 0.

// data should be zerodouble data = Math.pow(Math.sqrt(2), 2) - 2; if (data == 0) System.out.println("data is zero");else System.out.println("data is not zero");

NoteThe initial-action in a for loop can be a list of zero or more comma-separated expressions. The action-after-each-iteration in a for loop can be a list of zero or more comma-separated statements. Therefore, the following two for loops are correct. They are rarely used in practice, however.

for (int i = 1; i < 100; System.out.println(i++));

for (int i = 0, j = 0; (i + j < 10); i++, j++) {

// Do something

}


NoteIf the loop-continuation-condition in a for loop is omitted, it is implicitly true. Thus the statement given below in (a), which is an infinite loop, is correct. Nevertheless, it is better to use the equivalent loop in (b) to avoid confusion:

for ( ; ; ) { // Do something } (a)

Equivalent while (true) { // Do something }

(b)


Example: Using for Loops

Problem: Write a program that sums a series that starts with 0.01 and ends with 1.0. The numbers in the series will increment by 0.01, as follows: 0.01 + 0.02 + 0.03 and so on.

Example:Finding the Greatest Common Divisor Problem: Write a program that prompts the user to enter two positive integers and finds their greatest common divisor.

Solution: Suppose you enter two integers 4 and 2, their greatest common divisor is 2. Suppose you enter two integers 16 and 24, their greatest common divisor is 8. So, how do you find the greatest common divisor? Let the two input integers be n1 and n2. You know number 1 is a common divisor, but it may not be the greatest commons divisor. So you can check whether k (for k = 2, 3, 4, and so on) is a common divisor for n1 and n2, until k is greater than n1 or n2.

Introducing Methods

A method is a collection of statements that are grouped together to perform an operation.

public static int max(int num1, int num2) {

int result; if (num1 > num2) result = num1; else result = num2; return result;

}

modifier return value type method name formal parameters

return value

method body

method header

parameter list

Define a method Invoke a method

int z = max(x, y);

(arguments)


Introducing Methods, cont.

• Method signature is the combination of the method name and the parameter list.

• The variables defined in the method header are known as formal parameters.

• When a method is invoked, you pass a value to the parameter. This value is referred to as actual parameter or argument.


Introducing Methods, cont.• A method may return a value. The

returnValueType is the data type of the value the method returns. If the method does not return a value, the returnValueType is the keyword void. For example, the returnValueType in the main method is void.


Calling MethodsListing 5.1 Testing the max method

This program demonstrates calling a method max to return the largest of the int values

Calling Methods, cont.

public static void main(String[] args) { int i = 5; int j = 2; int k = max(i, j); System.out.println( "The maximum between " + i + " and " + j + " is " + k); }

public static int max(int num1, int num2) { int result; if (num1 > num2) result = num1; else result = num2; return result; }

pass the value of i pass the value of j


Reuse Methods from Other Classes

NOTE: One of the benefits of methods is for reuse. The max method can be invoked from any class besides TestMax. If you create a new class Test, you can invoke the max method using ClassName.methodName (e.g., TestMax.max).

Ambiguous Invocation

Sometimes there may be two or more possible matches for an invocation of a method, but the compiler cannot determine the most specific match. This is referred to as ambiguous invocation. Ambiguous invocation is a compilation error.

Stepwise Refinement (Optional)

The concept of method abstraction can be applied to the process of developing programs. When writing a large program, you can use the “divide and conquer” strategy, also known as stepwise refinement, to decompose it into subproblems. The subproblems can be further decomposed into smaller, more manageable problems.

PrintCalender Case Study Let us use the PrintCalendar example to demonstrate the stepwise refinement approach.

Implementation: Top-Down

A Skeleton for printCalendarA Skeleton for printCalendar

Top-down approach is to implement one method in the structure chart at a time from the top to the bottom. Stubs can be used for the methods waiting to be implemented. A stub is a simple but incomplete version of a method. The use of stubs enables you to test invoking the method from a caller. Implement the main method first and then use a stub for the printMonth method. For example, let printMonth display the year and the month in the stub. Thus, your program may begin like this:


Implementation: Bottom-UpBottom-up approach is to implement one method in the structure chart at a time from the bottom to the top. For each method implemented, write a test program to test it. Both top-down and bottom-up methods are fine. Both approaches implement the methods incrementally and help to isolate programming errors and makes debugging easy. Sometimes, they can be used together.


PackageThere are three reasons for using packages:

1. To avoid naming conflicts. When you develop reusable classes to be shared by other programmers, naming conflicts often occur. To prevent this, put your classes into packages so that they can be referenced through package names.

2. To distribute software conveniently. Packages group related classes so that they can be easily distributed.

3. To protect classes. Packages provide protection so that the protected members of the classes are accessible to the classes in the same package, but not to the external classes.

Optional


Package-Naming Conventions Packages are hierarchical, and you can have packages within packages. For example, java.lang.Math indicates that Math is a class in the package lang and that lang is a package in the package java. Levels of nesting can be used to ensure the uniqueness of package names.

Choosing a unique name is important because your package may be used on the Internet by other programs. Java designers recommend that you use your Internet domain name in reverse order as a package prefix. Since Internet domain names are unique, this prevents naming conflicts. Suppose you want to create a package named mypackage on a host machine with the Internet domain name prenhall.com. To follow the naming convention, you would name the entire package com.prenhall.mypackage. By convention, package names are all in lowercase.


Package DirectoriesJava expects one-to-one mapping of the package name and the file system directory structure. For the package named com.prenhall.mypackage, you must create a directory, as shown in the figure. In other words, a package is actually a directory that contains the bytecode of the classes.

com.prenhall.mypackage

The com directory does not have to be the root directory. In order for Java to know where your package is in the file system, you must modify the environment variable classpath so that it points to the directory in which your package resides.


Setting classpath Environment The com directory does not have to be the root directory. In order for Java to know where your package is in the file system, you must modify the environment variable classpath so that it points to the directory in which your package resides.

Suppose the com directory is under c:\book. The following line adds c:\book into the classpath:

classpath=.;c:\book;

The period (.) indicating the current directory is always in classpath. The directory c:\book is in classpath so that you can use the package com.prenhall.mypackage in the program.


Putting Classes into Packages Every class in Java belongs to a package. The class is added to the package when it is compiled. All the classes that you have used so far in this book were placed in the current directory (a default package) when the Java source programs were compiled. To put a class in a specific package, you need to add the following line as the first noncomment and nonblank statement in the program:

package packagename;


Listing 5.8 Putting Classes into PackagesProblem This example creates a class named Format and places it in the package com.prenhall.mypackage. The Format class contains the format(number, numOfDecimalDigits) method that returns a new number with the specified number of digits after the decimal point. For example, format(10.3422345, 2) returns 10.34, and format(-0.343434, 3) returns –0.343.

Solution1. Create Format.java as follows and save it into c:\book\com\prenhall\mypackage.

// Format.java: Format number. package com.prenhall.mypackage; public class Format { public static double format( double number, int numOfDecimalDigits) { return Math.round(number * Math.pow(10, numOfDecimalDigits)) / Math.pow(10, numOfDecimalDigits); }}

2. Compile Format.java. Make sure Format.class is in c:\book\com\prenhall\mypackage.


Using Classes from Packages There are two ways to use classes from a package. • One way is to use the fully qualified name of the class. For example, the fully qualified name for JOptionPane is javax.swing.JOptionPane. For Format in the preceding example, it is com.prenhall.mypackage.Format. This is convenient if the class is used a few times in the program. • The other way is to use the import statement. For example, to import all the classes in the javax.swing package, you can use import javax.swing.*;

An import that uses a * is called an import on demand declaration. You can also import a specific class. For example, this statement imports javax.swing.JOptionPane:

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

The information for the classes in an imported package is not read in at compile time or runtime unless the class is used in the program. The import statement simply tells the compiler where to locate the classes.


Listing 5.9 Using Packages

Problem This example shows a program that uses the Format class in the com.prenhall.mypackage.mypackage package.

Solution1. Create TestFormatClass.java as follows and save it into c:\book.The following code gives the solution to the problem.

// TestFormatClass.java: Demonstrate using the Format classimport com.prenhall.mypackage.Format; public class TestFormatClass { /** Main method */ public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(Format.format(10.3422345, 2)); System.out.println(Format.format(-0.343434, 3)); }}
