Part 1: Introduction/Name of Program

Your name, class, and program name and a brief description of the programExample: //Ryan Dorrill //C++ AB //BlackjackPart 2: Import statements/Preprocessor commands

Commands that include other library files, those files contain commands, functions, etc…

import javac.swing.* // common library to includePart 3: Class Header

public class Hello // MUST SAVE FILE AS “Hello.java”{ // classname and filename must match EXACTLY …Part 4: Class variables

Variables and values that can be accessed by any part of the CLASS.

Part 5: Functionsfunctions/procedures that help the MAIN program run.Main calls these functions created here.Part 6: Main programThe center of your program, where you call functions and display menus.Example: public static void main(String args[]) { …… // WHERE EVERYTHING BEGINS AND ENDS!!!Part 7: Class closer} // closing bracket to contain all code in class

Input and OutputI/O stream

sc.nextDouble( ) System.out.println( )sc.nextInt( ) System.out.print( )

Printing a Line of TextPrint Example

// Mr. Lupoli// 1st program

public class Hello{

public static void main(String args[]){System.out.print("Hello Class, “);System.out.println("I am Mr. Lupoli"); // what is the difference between System.out.println("We will learn JAVA!!"); // println and print??}

}Use the code above to display YOUR name on line ONE, and your town and state on line TWO

Using System.out.println( ) with variablesint x = 0; // MUST DECLARE ALL VARIABLE BEFORE USINGint y = 8;

System.out.println(“X is: “ + x + “ and Y is: “ + y );

Introduction to the Scanner Class Thanks to Mike McCoy and Jordan Clark How to gather INPUT from the keyboard The scanner class is a STANDARDIZED class that uses different methods for

READING in values from either the KEYBOARD or a FILE. Before this addition, many java programmers created their own scanner class to

accomplish the same task Remember

o Keyboard è System.inThe Scanner’s Purpose and Creation

System.in (Keyboard)Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

int score = sc.nextInt();...

Scanner Important Information Must import

o java.util.Scanner; Scanner will ignore white spaces BEFORE a value, but BY DEFAULT will

STOP:o At a white space (those not reading in a line)o At a ‘\n’ (those reading in a line)

literal escape constants/command constants JAVA Escape Sequences

Escape Sequence

Description

\t tab\r carriage return, go to beg. of next line\\ backslash\” double quote\’ single quote\n new line\b back space\f form feed

What will these statements below display??System.out.println(“Hi Class!”);System.out.println(“Good Luck!!! \n”);System.out.println(“\t \t You’ll need it!!!”);

Reading APIs “returning” Breakdown of methods Etc…

Methods in Scanner class Just remember to first

o INDENTIFY what exactly you wish to read in o HOW you want to use it.

Remember a numeric value CAN be read in as a String!! Methods in the class are broken down into two categories

o next() (reads value)o hasNext() (checks that a value is present to read)

 String next()           Finds and returns the next complete token from this scanner.

// to read in a SINGLE char

char letter;letter = sc.next().charAt(0);

 String next(Pattern pattern)           Returns the next token if it matches the specified pattern.

 String next(String pattern)           Returns the next token if it matches the pattern constructed from the specified string.

 BigDecimal nextBigDecimal()           Scans the next token of the input as a BigDecimal.

 BigInteger nextBigInteger()           Scans the next token of the input as a BigInteger.

 BigInteger nextBigInteger(int radix)           Scans the next token of the input as a BigInteger.

 boolean nextBoolean()           Scans the next token of the input into a boolean value and returns that value.

 byte nextByte()           Scans the next token of the input as a byte.

 byte nextByte(int radix)

5

Page 6: Chapter 2: The Basics of C++ Programmingfaculty.cse.tamu.edu/slupoli/notes/Java/AdvIntroJava... · Web viewPart 3: Class Header public class Hello // MUST SAVE FILE AS “Hello.java”

          Scans the next token of the input as a byte. double nextDouble()

          Scans the next token of the input as a double. float nextFloat()

          Scans the next token of the input as a float. int nextInt()

          Scans the next token of the input as an int.

int score = sc.nextInt(); OR int score; score = sc.nextInt();

 int nextInt(int radix)           Scans the next token of the input as an int.

 String nextLine()           Advances this scanner past the current line and returns the input that was skipped.

 long nextLong()           Scans the next token of the input as a long.

 long nextLong(int radix)           Scans the next token of the input as a long.

 short nextShort()           Scans the next token of the input as a short.

 short nextShort(int radix)           Scans the next token of the input as a short.

Please note that there are MATCHING “hasNext” for each shown on the ditto.

Input/Output Homework Exercise

String name, address; // declare ALL variables before you use them// string is used for STRING textScanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

YOU DO NOT NEED TO CODE ANY IMPORTS, MAIN, ETC...Just code the input/output lines of code.

1. ) Create the CODE to LITERALLY display YOUR name, and address (No variables yet.)

2.) Create the CODE to ask for user’s name and address, USE THE VARIABLES DECLARED FOR YOU ALREADY!! Hint: Which scanner functions will you need?

3.) Create the code to display their name and address that THEY type in. NOT yours!!

Page 8: Chapter 2: The Basics of C++ Programmingfaculty.cse.tamu.edu/slupoli/notes/Java/AdvIntroJava... · Web viewPart 3: Class Header public class Hello // MUST SAVE FILE AS “Hello.java”

Use of Comments same as C++

Arrays 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 …x …

array name element index

NOTICE:max_index + 1 = sizeindex starts at 0 not 1!!Holds ONLY ONE value per element!!Homogeneous -- all of the elements have to be of the same type, e.g., int, float, char, etc.

Declaration using different datatypes arrays need a NAME and a size

o name one word, CAMELCASE sodaPrice soda_Price

o size greater than 0 extra is fine, but not too much!!!

arrays will have a value in EACH ELEMENT automatically!!!o used before in Computero called garbage!!!o good to set value (below) to your choice of a default

type [] arrayname = new type[size];

Page 9: Chapter 2: The Basics of C++ Programmingfaculty.cse.tamu.edu/slupoli/notes/Java/AdvIntroJava... · Web viewPart 3: Class Header public class Hello // MUST SAVE FILE AS “Hello.java”

Declaration of Multiple datatype arraysDouble double [] sodaPrice = new double[3];

[0] [1] [2]sodaPrice

Integer int [] seasonPts = new int[13];String String [] names = new String[25];Char char [] alphabet = new char[26];

Draw what the “alphabet” array would look like

Placing/Updating values in an element AFTER YOU HAVE DELCARED THE ARRAY!!! Slightly different syntax depending on data type notice DATATYPE is NOT placed in from of assignment YOU CAN CHANGE A VALUE AFTERWARD!! AT ANY TIME!!!

arrayname[index] = value;

Placing values in multiple datatype arraysDouble Integer String Char//… declared here!!!

double sodaPrice[0] = .65;// incorrect code

sodaPrice[0] = .65;sodaPrice[1] = .85;sodaPrice[2] = .75;

//… declared here!!!

seasonPts[0] = 13;seasonPts[1] = 14;seasonPts[2] = 8;seasonPts[3] = 25;seasonPts[4] = 3;…seasonPts[12] = 26;

//… declared here!!!

names[0]= “Lupoli”;names[1]= “Akman”;names[2]= “Jensen”;names[3]= “Harman”;names[4]= “Martino”;names[5]= “Reardon”;…names[24]= “Myers”;

names[1] = “Munson”;

//… declared here!!!// …

alphabet[0] = ‘A’;alphabet[1] = ‘B’;alphabet[2] = ‘C’;…alphabet[25] = ‘Z’;

In the alphabet array, why do we stop at 25?? (Other than last letter)I made a mistake in seasonPts, the 3rd game should be 18, how do I fix it?

Page 10: Chapter 2: The Basics of C++ Programmingfaculty.cse.tamu.edu/slupoli/notes/Java/AdvIntroJava... · Web viewPart 3: Class Header public class Hello // MUST SAVE FILE AS “Hello.java”

Displaying an element in an array (the long way) Display by each and every individual element

o THERE IS NO WAY TO DISPLAY THE ENTIRE ARRAY IN ONE LINE!!!

o System.out.print(sodaPrice + “\n”); // that will not display the entire array Display code is the SAME for all datatypes

o notice I use println() to print each ELEMENT on a separate line

Displaying values in multiple datatype arraysDouble Integer String Char//…

System.out.println(sodaPrice[0]);System.out.println(sodaPrice[1]);System.out.println(sodaPrice[2]);

same as String [] names = new String[25];// …

System.out.println(names[0]);System.out.println(names[1]);System.out.println(names[2]);System.out.println(names[3]);System.out.println(names[4]);…System.out.println(names[24]);

// …

System.out.println(alphabet[0]);System.out.println(alphabet[1]);System.out.println(alphabet[2]);…System.out.println(alphabet[26]);

How many PrintLn statements would we need to display THE ENTIRE array of 150 elements??Why MUST we place values in the array before we display them?

Using Repetition to display arraysint [] x = new int[10];// values filled in here

To display our simple “x” array, we would have to display each line separately:

System.out.println(x[0]);System.out.println(x[1]);System.out.println(x[2]);System.out.println(x[3]);System.out.println(x[4]);

…Using Repetition to display arrays

Page 11: Chapter 2: The Basics of C++ Programmingfaculty.cse.tamu.edu/slupoli/notes/Java/AdvIntroJava... · Web viewPart 3: Class Header public class Hello // MUST SAVE FILE AS “Hello.java”

To display our simple “x” array, we would have to display each line separately: remember values have to be placed first before displaying!!!

Displaying values into arrays using LoopsNon-loop Loop

int test = new int[10]; // 10 test scores

// after values are placed

System.out.println(test[0]);System.out.println(test[1]);System.out.println(test[2]);System.out.println(test[3]);System.out.println(test[4]);System.out.println(test[5]);…System.out.println(test[9]);

int test = new int[10]; // 10 test scores

// after values are placed

for(int i = 0; i < test.length; i++) { System.out.println(test[i]);}

The length function “returns” the exact length (integer) of the array when creating arrays, there are features that come with it nice feature since you don’t have to remember!!! The computer will find out!! syntax

o array_name.length()

Examples of length in useDouble int size = sodaPrice.length;

What will size be?Integer for(int i = 0; i < seasonPts.length; i++)

What will seasonPts.length be?String System.out.println(“Size of array: “ + names.length);Char if(alphabet.length < 0)

1. Create the loop to display the seasonPts values (Slip)

11

Page 12: Chapter 2: The Basics of C++ Programmingfaculty.cse.tamu.edu/slupoli/notes/Java/AdvIntroJava... · Web viewPart 3: Class Header public class Hello // MUST SAVE FILE AS “Hello.java”

2. Create the loop to display the names values (Slip)3. Now create a for loop to display the array “d” as such: (SLIP)

int [] d = new int [30];

d[0] = 11;d[1] = 12;d[2] = 13;d[3] = 14;d[4] = 15;d[5] = 16;d[6] = 17;d[7] = 18;d[8] = 19;d[9] = 20;… // to d[29]

|11|12|13|14|15|… | Yes, all on ONE line, yes | at the front and | at the end.

String Declaration and Initialization Sets aside an array of elements

o each element contains a String (single letter) Assigning values

o Must use “ “’s to set if literalo variable = sc.next(); only reads up to the first white space . o variable = sc.nextLine(); reads the whole line typed.

don’t have to worry about declaring a SIZE that fits!! (automatically done!!) can use = to set a String can use + to concatenate No special treatment, just like any other variable MUST GIVE A DEFAULT VALUE!!! (“”)

String Declaration and InitializationGathering values into Strings Example 1

String firstName = “”, lastName = “”;firstName = sc.next (); // input: Mr. LupolilastName = sc.next ();System.out.print(lastName + “, “ + firstName); // output: Lupoli, Mr.

Gathering values into Strings Example 2String firstName = “Kristen”;String lastName = “Davis”;System.out.print(lastName + “, “ + firstName); // output: Davis, Kristen

firstName lastName

Gathering values into Strings Example 3String wholeName = “”;wholeName = sc.nextLine(); // input: Mr. LupoliSystem.out.print(wholeName); // output: Lupoli, Mr.

wholename M r . L u p o l i

String methods in general there will be SO many applications where you will be working with strings knowing that they are arrays helps you understand what the methods below are

doing and WHEN to use them “return”

o means method gives a value of a certain datatype back

Comparing Strings normal comparison symbols do not work!!

o == , <=, >=, !=, >, <. etc… compareTo

o compares two stringso method returns a value

== 0 (match) < 0 no match, S1 is alphabetically less than S2 > 0 no match, S1 is alphabetically greater than S2

equals (boolean)o answer if an EXACT match

compareToIgnoreCase/equalsIgnoreCase o ignore case of strings, works the same way

Page 15: Chapter 2: The Basics of C++ Programmingfaculty.cse.tamu.edu/slupoli/notes/Java/AdvIntroJava... · Web viewPart 3: Class Header public class Hello // MUST SAVE FILE AS “Hello.java”

compareTo

// compareTo exampleString testOne = "Lupoli";String testTwo = "Martino";

if(testOne.compareTo(testTwo) < 0){ System.out.println("testOne is LESS than testTwo"); }else if(testOne.compareTo(testTwo) > 0){ System.out.println("testOne is GREATER than testTwo"); }else // (testOne.compareTo(testTwo) == 0){ System.out.println("testOne is EQUAL to testTwo");}

if(testOne.compareTo("Lupoli") == 0){ System.out.print("Strings matched"); }

equal

// equal exampletestOne = "Lupoli";testTwo = "Martino";

if(testOne.equals(testTwo)){ System.out.println("testOne is LESS than testTwo"); }else // (testOne.equals(testTwo) == 0){ System.out.println("testOne is EQUAL than testTwo"); }

if(testOne.equals("Lupoli")){ System.out.println("Strings matched"); }

Editing elements in a String array HAVE TO DELCARE THE STRING FIRST!!! individual characters inside a String array can be accessed.

Accessing a value inside an StringString fname = “John”;System.out.print(“Character at index 2 is “ + fname[2] + “\n”); // displays ‘h’

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]J o h n \0

15

Page 16: Chapter 2: The Basics of C++ Programmingfaculty.cse.tamu.edu/slupoli/notes/Java/AdvIntroJava... · Web viewPart 3: Class Header public class Hello // MUST SAVE FILE AS “Hello.java”

Editing a value inside a StringString fname = “John”;fname[2] = ‘X’; // editing element number 2, NOTICE NO CHAR!!System.out.print(“Name: “ + fname + “\n”); // displays “JoXn”

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]J o X N \0

Finding a “null” or “” in a String/array of Strings you might find that an array element do not contain viable data do find, use the “.equals()” string command commonly mistaken what to do

Common search errorsString String in an Array

if(answers[i] != "") { length++; }if(answers[i] != " ") { length++; } if(answers[i] != null) { length++; }if(answers[i] != "null") { length++; }

Correct null search codeString String in an Array

String type = “”;

if(answers.equals(""))

if(!answers[i].equals("") ) { length++; }

Getting the String length where we had to SET a default value for length, the String class automatically

keeps track of the length OF EACH STRING!!! return “int” of size value THIS TIME IT IS LENGTH()

// displays EACH letter of the phrasefor(int i = 0; i < professor.length(); i++)

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]L u p o l i

Concatenation adds to END of existing String

o the string will increase in size automatically syntax

o final = original + attachment;

String string1 = “Goodbye”; // drawn belowString string2 = “, Cruel ”;

string1G o o d b y e

string1 = string1 + string2;

string1G o o d b y e , _ C r u e l _

string1 = string1 + “World!”; // literal string

string1G o o d b y e , C r u e l W o r l d !

Determine what “answer” will look like after the code below:

1. String string1 = “Goodbye”; // drawn below2. String string2 = “, Cruel ”; 3. String answer;4. answer = answer + string1;5. answer += string2; // hmmm, think about it!!6. string1 = “Lupoli”;7. answer = answer + string1;8. System.out.println(answer); // put answer below (if not already!)

answer

How would you assign a username (first letter, whole lastName) given to string variables fName and lName? (Slip)

Converting a number to a Stringint value = 27;String greeting = “Hello There”;H e l l o T h e r e

String complete = greeting + value; // just the same as concatenation of 2 Strings!!H e l l o T h e r e 2 7

tokens(separated by spaces)

String inputline = sc.readLine( );StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(inputline);

Other tokenize functionstokenizer.hasMoreTokens( );

determines if more “tokens” in the String used usually in a conditional loop

String word = tokenizer.nextToken( ); grabs next token, assigns to “word” records last place it grabbed a word

int count = tokenizer.countTokens( );returns the number of tokens remaining to be returned by NEXTTOKEN()

Converting Strings to NumbersThere will be many times were the input interface will treat whatever the user types in as a String, (JOptionPane), we can then transform that input into the format intended.

String x;int real_number;

x = JOptionPane.showDialog(“Enter a whole number:”); // “x” is a STRING 23realnumber = Integer.parseInt(x); // now “realnumber” is actually an INT value 23
