1. The if Statement

Problem: Write a program to calculate user’s

average of 3 test scores. If the average is greater than 95, the program congratulates the users on obtaining a high score.

5

1. The if Statement (Cont’d)

6


7


Simple decision structure logic

8


if(BooleanExpression) statement;

The BooleanExpression must be a boolean expression

A boolean expression is either true or false If the BooleanExpression is true, the very

next statement is executed. Otherwise, it is skipped.

The statement is conditionally executed because it only executes under the condition that the expression in the parentheses is true.

9

Using Relational Operators to Form Conditions

Typically, the boolean expression is formed with a relational operator (binary operator.

Relational Operators(in order of precedence)

Meaning

> Greater

< Less than

>= Greater than or equal to

<= Less than or equal to

== Equal to

!= Not equal to

10

Using Relational Operators to Form Conditions (Cont’d)

Assuming that a is 4, b is 6, and c is 4

b>=a true c<=a true a>=5 false c==6 false b!=6 false

11

Programming Style and the if Statement

Two important style rules The conditionally executed statement should

appear on the line after the if statement. The conditionally executed statement should

be indented on level from the if statement.

if(value>32) System.out.println(“Invalid number”);

if(value>32) System.out.println(“Invalid number”);

12

Be Careful with Semicolons

if(BooleanExpression)statement;

int x = 0, y = 10;if(x > y);

System.out.println(x + “is greater than “ + y);

No semicolon here

Semicolon goes here

It will always execute.

13

Multiple Conditionally Executed Statements

Enclosing a group of statements by braces

if(sales > 5000){bonus = 500.0;commissionRate = 0.12;dayOff += 1;

}

These three statements are executed if sales is greater than 5000

14

Comparing Characters

Using the relational operators to test character data as well as number

Assuming ch is a char variable: Compare ch to the character ‘A’:

if(ch==‘A’)System.out.println(“The letter is A.”);

Compare the ch is not equal to ‘A’:if(ch!=‘A’)

System.out.println(“Not the letter is A.”);

15

Comparing Characters (Cont’d)

In Unicode, letters are arranged in alphabetic order:

‘A’ comes before ‘B’, the numeric code of ‘A’ (65) is less than the code of ‘B’ (66).

‘A’ < ‘B’ true In Unicode, the uppercase letters

come before the lowercase letter.

16

2. The if-else statement

Problem Write a program to get two numbers

and divide the first number by the second number.

17


19


20

Logic of the if-else Statement

21

Logic of the if-else Statement (Cont’d)

The if-else statement will execute one group of statement if its boolean expression is true, or another group if its boolean expression is false.if(BooleanExpression)

statement or blockelse

statement or block

22

3. The if-else-if Statement

Problem Write a program to ask the user to enter

a numeric test score. Display a letter grade (A, B, C, D, or F) for the score.

score < 60 F 60 <= score < 70 D 70 <= score < 80 C 80 <= score < 90 B 90 <= score <= 100 A score > 100 Invalid score

25

Logic of the if-else-if Statement

Logic of the if-else-if Statement

26

3. The if-else-if Statement The if-else-if statement is a chain of if-else

statements. Each statement in the chain performs its test until one of the tests is found to be true.

if(BooleanExpression)statement or block

else if(BooleanExpression)statement or block

////Put as many else if statement as needed here//elsestatement or block

27

4. Nested if Statement

Problem Write a Java program to determine

whether a bank customer qualifies for a loan. To qualify, a customer must earn at least $30,000 per year, and must have been on his or her current job for at least two years.

28

4. Nested if Statement Input

User’s annual salary Number of years at the current job

31

4. Nested if Statement (Cont’d)

An if statement appears inside another if statement, it is considered nested.

The rule for matching else clauses with if clauses is this:

An else clause goes with the closet previous if clause that doesn’t already have its own else clause.

32

Alignment of if and else clauses

33

5. Logical Operators

Logical operators connect two or more relational expressions into one or reverse the logic of an expression.

Java provides two binary logical operators

&& : AND || : OR

one unary logical operator ! : NOT

34

5. Logical Operators (Cont’d)Operator Meaning Effect

&& AND Connects two boolean expression into one. Both expressions must be true for the overall expression to be true.

|| OR Connects two boolean expression into one. One or both expressions must be true for the overall expression to be true. It is only necessary for one to be true, and it does not matter which one.

! NOT Reverses the truth of a boolean expression. If it is applied to an expression that is true, the operator returns false. If it is applied to an expression that is false, the operator return true.

35

5. Logical Operators (Cont’d)

Expression Meaning

x > y && a < b Is x greater than y AND is a less than b?

x == y || x == z Is x equal to y OR is x equal to z?

!(x > y) Is the expression x > y NOT true?

36

The && Operator

The && performs short-circuit evaluation

If the expression on the left side of the && operator is false, the expression on the right side will not be checked.

x y x && y

true true true

true false false

false true false

false false false

37

The && Operator (Cont’d)

A different version of the LoanQualifier program

39

The || Operator

The || performs short-circuit evaluation

If the expression on the left side of the || operator is true, the expression on the right side will not be checked.

x y X || y

true true true

true false true

false true true

false false false

40

The || Operator

Problem Write a Java program to determine

whether a bank customer qualifies for a loan. To qualify, a customer must earn at least $30,000 per year, OR must have been on his or her current job for at least two years.

41

The || Operator (Cont’d)

Input User’s annual salary Number of years at the current job

42

A Better Solution

44

The ! Operator

The ! Operator performs a logical NOT operation

!(x > 1000) x <= 1000

x !x

true false

false true

45

The Precedence and Associativity of Logical Operators

The logical operators have orders of precedence and associativity.

The precedence of the logical operators, from highest to lowest

!&&||

!(x > 2) Applies the ! operator to the expression x > 2

!x > 2 Causes a compiler error

46

The Precedence and Associativity of Logical Operators (Cont’d)

The && and || operators rank lower in precedence than the relational operators(a > b) && (x < y) a > b && x < y(x == y) || (b > a) x == y || b > a

The logical operators evaluate their expression from left to right

a < b || y == z a < b is evaluated before y == z

a < b || y == z && m > j y == z is evaluated first because the && operator has higher

precedence than || Is equivalent to the following(a < b) || ((y == z) && (m > j))

47

The Precedence and Associativity of Logical Operators (Cont’d)

Order of Precedence

Operators

1 - (unary negation) !

2 * / %

3 + =

4 < > <= >=

5 == !=

6 &&

7 ||

8 = += -= *= /= %=

48

Checking Numeric Ranges with Logical Operators

Determining whether a numeric value is within a specific range of values

Using the && operator x >= 20 && x <= 40

Determining whether a numeric value is outside a specific range of values

Using the || operator x < 20 || x > 40

20,40x

20,40x

49

6. Comparing String Objects

We cannot use relational operators to compare String objects. Instead we must use a String method.String name1 = “Marks”;String name2 = “Mary”;

name1 == name2 will be false because the variables name1 and name2 reference different objects.

50


if(name1 == name2)

51


To compare the contents of two String objects correctly using the method equals of String class

if(name1.equal(name2)) The equals method returns true if

they are the same, or false if they are not the same.

53


Comparing String objects to string literals

Pass the string literal as the argument to the equals method

if(name1.equals(“Mark”))

54


The compareTo method of the String class

To determine whether one string is greater than, equal to, or less than another string.

StringReference.compareTo(OtherString) StringReference is a variable that

references a String object, OtherString is either another variable that references a String object or a string literal.

55


If the method’s return value < 0 : the string referenced by StringReference is less than the OtherString argument

0 : The two strings are equal. > 0 : the string referenced by StringReference is greater than the OtherString argument

56


57


String comparison of “Mary” and “Mark”

The character ‘y’ is greater than ‘k’, so “Mary” is greater than “Mark”.

58

Ignore Case in String Comparisons

The equals and compareTo methods perform case sensitive comparisons. In other words, “A” is not the same as “a”.

The String class provides the equalsIgnoreCase and compareToIgnoreCase methods

The case of characters in strings is ignored.

59

7. More about Variable Declaration and Scope

The scope of a variable is limited to the block in which it is declared.

It is a common practice to declare all of a method’s local variables at the beginning of the method, it is possible to declare them at later points.

Sometimes programmers declare certain variables near the part of the program where they are used in order to make their purpose more evident.

60


A local variable’s scope always starts at the variable’s declaration ends at the closing brace of the block

of code in which it is declared.

61


62

The Conditional Operator

The conditional operator (a ternary operator) is used to create short expressions that work like if-else statements.

Expression1 ? Expression2 : Expression3 Exprerssion1 is a boolean

expression. If Expression1 is true, then Expression2 is executed. Otherwise Expression3 is executed.

63

The Conditional Operator (Cont’d)

x < 0 ? y = 10 : z = 20;

if(x < 0) y = 10;

elsez = 20;

64

The Conditional Operator (Cont’d)

We can put parentheses around the subexpressions in a conditional expression

(x < 0) ? (y = 10) : (z = 20);

65

Using the Value of a Conditional Expression

The conditional expression also returns a value.

If Expression1 is true, the value of the conditional expression is the value of Expression2. Otherwise it is the value of Expression3.

number = x > 100 ? 20 : 50;

66

Using the Value of a Conditional Expression (Cont’d)

number = x > 100 ? 20 : 50;

if(x > 100) number = 20;

elsenumber = 50;

67

Using the Value of a Conditional Expression (Cont’d)

System.out.println(“Your grade is: “ +(score < 60 ? “Fail” : “Pass”));

if(score < 60)Systym.out.println(“Your grade is: Fail.“);

elseSystym.out.println(“Your grade is: Pass.“);

68

7. The switch Statement

The switch statement lets the value of a variable or expression determine where the program will branch to.

The if-else-if statement allows the program to branch into one of several possible paths. It tests a series of boolean expressions, and branches if one of those expression is true.

69

7. The switch Statement (Cont’d)

The switch statement tests the value of an integer or character expression and then uses that value to determine which set of statements to branch to.

70

7. The switch Statement (Cont’d)switch(SwitchExpression){

case CaseExpression1:// place one or more statements herebreak;case CaseExpression2:// place one or more statements herebreak;

// case statements may be repeated as many // times as necessary

default:// place one or more statements here

}

71

7. The switch Statement (Cont’d) The SwitchExpression is an expression that must

result in a value of one of these types: char, byte, short, or int.

The CaseExpression is a literal or a final variable which must be of the char, byte, short, or int types.

The CaseExpressions of each case statement must be unique.

The default section is optional. If we leave it out, the program will have nowhere to branch to if the SwitchExpression doesn’t match any of CaseExpressions.

72


if(SwitchExpression == CaseExpression1)// place statement here

else if(SwitchExpression == CaseExpression2)// place statement here

// else if statements may be repeated// as many times as necessary

else// place statement here

73


75

7. The switch Statement (Cont’d) The case statements show where to start

executing in the block and the break statements show the program where to stop.

Without break statements, the program would execute all of the lines from the matching case statement to the end of the block.

The default section (or the last case section if there is no default) does not need a break statement.

76

Without break Statement

Without break statement, the program falls through all the statements below the one with the matching case expression.

77


79

Without break Statement !

Write a program that asks the user to select a grade of pet food. The available choices are A, B, and C. The program will recognize either uppercase or lowercase letters.

80


82

10. Creating Objects with the DecimalFormat class

DecimalFormat class can be used to format the appearance of floating-point numbers rounded to a specified number of decimal places.

In Java, a value of the double type can be displayed with as many as 15 decimal places, and a value of float type can be displayed with up to 6 decimal places.

83

10. Creating Objects with the DecimalFormat class (Cont’d)

double number;number = 10.0/6;System.out.println(number);

1.666666666666667 How to control the number of

decimal places that are displayed ?

84


Using the DecimalFormat class import java.text.DecimalFormat; Create an object of the DecimalFormat class

DecimalFormat formatter;formatter = new DecimalFormat(“#0.00”);

Constructor Is automatically executed To initialize the object’s attributes with appropriate data and

perform any necessary setup operations.

constructor

format pattern

85


#: specifies that a digit should be displayed if it is present. If there is no digit in this position, no digit should be displayed.

0: specifies that a digit should be displayed in this position if it is present. If there is no digit in this position, a 0 should be displayed.

86

“#0.00”

87

“000.00”

88

“#,##0.00”

89

“#0%”

Formatting numbers as percentages

Writing the % character at the last position in the format pattern. This causes a number to be multiplied by 100, and the % character is appended to its end.

90

“#0%”

91

The printf Method

The System.out.printf method allows you to format output in a variety of ways.

System.out.printf(FormatString, ArgumentList)

contains text and/or special

formatting specifiers.

is a list of zero or more

additional arguments.

92

Format Specifiers

%d : For a decimal integer

int hours = 40;System.out.printf(“I worked %d hours this week.\n”, hours);

I worked 40 hours this week.

int dogs = 2;int cats = 4;System.out.printf(“We have %d dogs and %d cats.\n”, dogs, cats);

We have 4 dogs and 2 cats.

93

Format Specifiers

%nd : the number should be printed in a field that is n places wide.

int nunber = 9;System.out.printf(“The value is %6d.\n”, number);

The value is 9. If the field is wider than the specified

width, the field width will be expanded to accommodate the value.

int nunber = 97654;System.out.printf(“The value is %2d.\n”, number);

The value is97654.

94

Format Specifiers

%f : to print a floating-point numberdouble nunber = 1278.92;System.out.printf(“The value is %f.\n”, number);

The value is 1279.920000.

The value is 1279.920000;

double nunber = 1278.92714;System.out.printf(“The value is %8.2f.\n”, number);

The value is 1278.93.

95

Format Specifiersdouble nunber = 1253874.92714;System.out.printf(“The value is %,.2f.\n”, number);

The value is 1,253,874.93.

%s : To print a string argumentString name = “Ringo”;System.out.printf(“My name is %s.\n”, name);
