Program Development

• The creation of software involves four basic activities:

– establishing the requirements

– creating a design

– implementing the code

– testing the implementation

• These activities are not strictly linear – they overlap and interact

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 4

Requirements

• Software requirements specify the tasks that a program must accomplish

– what to do, not how to do it

• Often an initial set of requirements is provided, but they should be critiqued and expanded

• It is difficult to establish detailed, unambiguous, and complete requirements

• Careful attention to the requirements can save significant time and expense in the overall project

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 5

Design

• A software design specifies how a program will accomplish its requirements

• A software design specifies how the solution can be broken down into manageable pieces and what each piece will do

• An object-oriented design determines which classes and objects are needed, and specifies how they will interact

• Low level design details include how individual methods will accomplish their tasks

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 6

Implementation

• Implementation is the process of translating a design into source code

• Novice programmers often think that writing code is the heart of software development, but actually it should be the least creative step

• Almost all important decisions are made during requirements and design stages

• Implementation should focus on coding details, including style guidelines and documentation

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 7

Testing

• Testing attempts to ensure that the program will solve the intended problem under all the constraints specified in the requirements

• A program should be thoroughly tested with the goal of finding errors

• Debugging is the process of determining the cause of a problem and fixing it

• We revisit the details of the testing process later in this chapter

Anatomy of a Class

Creating Students objects

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 10

Classes (Student, StudentCompare)

• Write a class that compares the grades of two students and tells who is the best

• Classes Student and main class StudentCompare

• The Student class contains two data values• a String name that represents the student's name

• an double grade that represents the student’s grade

– Write a Student constructor to set the name and the initial grade

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 11

Creating Objects

• An object has:– state (attributes)

– String name

– double grade

• descriptive characteristics

– behaviors (what he can do)

– compareStudents

StudentCompare

NameGrade

compareStudents

Student

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 12

Data scope

• The scope of data is the area in a program in which that data can be referenced (used)– Data declared at the class level can be

referenced by all methods in that class– Data declared within a method can be used

only in that method– Data declared within a method is called local

data

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 13

Instance Data• A variable declared at the class level (such as name)

– is called class attribute or instance variable

• Each instance (object) has its own instance variable

– A class declares the type of the data, but it does not reserve memory space for it

• Each time a Student object is created,

– a new name variable is created as well

• The objects of a class share the method definitions,

– but each object has its own data space

• That's the only way two objects can have different states

2015

@ Sonia Sousa

// Student.java Author: Sónia Sousa// Demonstrates the creation and use of a user-defined class.

public class Student {private String name;

private double grade;

public Student(String name, double grade) {this.name = name;this.grade = grade;

} public static void compareStudents(Student st1, Student st2) { if (st1.grade > st2.grade) { System.out.print(st1.name +" is a better student");} else { if (st2.grade > st1.grade) {System.out.print(st2.name +" is a better student");} else {System.out.println(st1.name+ " and " + st2.name+ " are on the same level");} } }

continue 142015

@ Sonia Sousa 15

package studentManager;import java.util.Scanner;

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

Student st1, st2, st3; String name; double grade;

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);System.out.println("Insert the first name for Student

1");name = scan.next();System.out.println("Insert the grade for Student 1");

grade = scan.nextDouble();st1 = new Student(name,grade);System.out.println("Insert the first name for Student

2");name = scan.next();System.out.println("Insert the grade for Student 2");grade = scan.nextDouble();st2 = new Student(name,grade);Student.compareStudents(st1, st2);

}

continue

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 16

Instance Data

• We can depict the two Student objects from the Student program as follows:

st1 Johnname

st2 Maryname

Each object maintains its own name variable, and thus its own state

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 17

Quick Check

• Why was the grade variable declared as private in the Student class?– By making it private, each Student object

controls its own data and allows it to be modified only by the well-defined operations it provides.

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 18

Classes

• The values of the data define the state of an object created from the class

• The functionality of the methods define the behaviors of the object

• For our Die class, we might declare an integer called faceValue that represents the current value showing on the face

• One of the methods would “roll” the die by setting faceValue to a random number between one and six

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 19

Anatomy of a Class

Creating Die objects

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 20

Classes (Die,RollingDice)

• Write a class that creates two six-sided Die objects, both with an initial face value of one.– Rolls both dice and returns the combined

result.– Returns the current combined dice total.– Returns the current value of the first die.– Returns the current value of the second die.

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 21

Creating Objects

• An object has:– state (attributes)

• constant MAX that represents the maximum face value

int MAX = 6

• integer faceValue that represents the current face value

int faceValue = 1

– behaviors (what he can do)• Rolls the die and returns the result.

– The roll method uses the random method of the Math class to determine a new face value

faceValue = (int) (Math.random() * MAX) + 1;2015

@ Sonia Sousa 22

Constructors

• As mentioned previously, a constructor is used to set up an object when it is initially created

• A constructor has the same name as the class

• The Die constructor is used to set the initial face value of each new die object to one

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 23

//Die.java Author: Sonia Sousa//Represents one die (singular of dice) with faces showing values//between 1 and 6.

public class Die{private final int MAX = 6; // maximum face valueprivate int faceValue = 1; // current value showing on the die

// Constructor: sets the initial face value.

public Die(int faceValue) {this.faceValue = faceValue;

}

// Rolls the die and returns the result.public int roll(){ faceValue = (int) (Math.random() * MAX) + 1;

return faceValue;}

}continue

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 24

continue

public class RollingDice2 {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Creates two six-sided Die objects, both with an initial// face value of one.

int faceValue = 1;

Die die1 = new Die(faceValue);Die die2 = new Die(faceValue);

System.out.println (die1.roll()); System.out.println (die2.roll());

System.out.println ("Total: " + (die1.roll() +

die2.roll()));

}}

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 25

Instance Data

• We can depict the two Die objects from the RollingDice program as follows:

die1 5faceValue

die2 2faceValue

Each object maintains its own faceValue variable, and thus its own state

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 26

Quick Check

Where is instance data declared?

What is the scope of instance data?

What is local data?

At the class level.

It can be referenced in any method of the class.

Local data is declared within a method, and is only accessible in that method.

Loop statements




@ Sonia Sousa 29

The for Statement

• A for statement has the following syntax:

for ( initialization ; condition ; increment ) statement;

The initializationis executed once

before the loop begins

The statement isexecuted until the

condition becomes false

The increment portion is executed at the end of each

iteration

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 30

Logic of a for loop

statement

conditionevaluated

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 31

The for Statement

• A for loop is functionally equivalent to the following while loop structure:

initialization;while ( condition ){ statement; increment;}

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 32

The for Statement

• The initialization section can be used to declare a variablefor (int count=1; count <= 5; count++)

System.out.println (count);

• Like a while loop, the condition of a for loop is tested prior to executing the loop body

• Therefore, the body of a for loop will execute zero or more times

2015

33

The for Statement

• The increment section can perform any calculation:for (int num=100; num > 0; num -= 5)

System.out.println (num);

• A for loop is well suited for executing statements a specific number of times that can be calculated or determined in advance

• See ForLoop.java

• See Multiples.java

• See Stars.java

@ Sonia Sousa 49

Identifying Classes and Objects• The core activity of object-oriented design is determining

– the classes and objects that will make up the solution

• Then identify – Classes may be part of a class library,

– Which classes we can reused from a previous project,

– Or, the one’s that will be newly written.

• One way to identify potential classes is to – identify the objects discussed in the requirements

• Objects are generally nouns, and

• The services that an object provides are generally verbs.

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 50

Identifying Classes and Objects• A partial requirements document:

• Of course, not all nouns will correspond to a class or object in the final solution

The user must be allowed to specify each product byits primary characteristics, including its name andproduct number. If the bar code does not match theproduct, then an error should be generated to themessage window and entered into the error log. Thesummary report of all transactions must be structuredas specified in section 7.A.

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 51

Identifying Classes and Objects

• Remember that a class represents a group (classification) of objects with the same behaviors

• Generally, classes that represent objects should

– Be given names that are singular nouns

• Examples: Coin, Student, Message

– A class represents the concept of one such object

• We are free to instantiate as many of each object as needed

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 52


• Sometimes it is challenging to decide whether something should be represented as a class– For example, should an employee's address be

represented as a set of instance variables or as an Address object

• The more you examine the problem and its details the more clear these issues become

• When a class becomes too complex, – it often should be decomposed into multiple smaller classes

to distribute the responsibilities

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 53


• We want to define classes with the proper amount of detail

– For example, it may be unnecessary to create separate classes for each type of appliance in a house

• It may be sufficient to define a more general Appliance class with appropriate instance data

• It all depends on the details of the problem being solved

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 54


• Part of identifying the classes we need is the process of assigning responsibilities to each class

• Every activity that a program must accomplish must be represented by one or more methods in one or more classes

• We generally use verbs for the names of methods

• In early stages it is not necessary to determine every method of every class – begin with primary responsibilities and evolve the design

Wrapper Classes

Static Variables and MethodsClass RelationshipsExtra

@ Sonia Sousa 56

Enumerated Types• An enumerated type declaration

– lists all possible values for a variable of that type

– The values are identifiers of your own choosing

• The following declaration creates an enumerated type called Seasonenum Season {winter, spring, summer, fall};

• Any number of values can be listed

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 57

Enumerated Types

• Once a type is defined,

– a variable of that type can be declared:

Season time;

• And it can be assigned a value:

time = Season.fall;

– The values are referenced through the name of the type

• Enumerated types are type-safe

– you cannot assign any value other than those listed

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 58

Ordinal Values

• Internally, each value of an enumerated type is stored as an integer, – called its ordinal value

• The first value in an enumerated type– has an ordinal value of zero, the second one, and so on

• However, you cannot assign a numeric value to an enumerated type, – even if it corresponds to a valid ordinal value

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 59

Enumerated Types

• The declaration of an enumerated type is a special type of class, and – each variable of that type is an object

– cone1.ordinal()• The ordinal method returns the ordinal value of the object

– cone1.name()• The name method returns the name of the identifier

corresponding to the object's value

Class RelationshipsExtra

@ Sonia Sousa 65

Static Class Members

• Recall that a static method is one that can be invoked through its class name

• For example, the methods of the Math class are static:

result = Math.sqrt(25)

• Variables can be static as well

• Determining if a method or variable should be static is an important design decision

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 66

The static Modifier• We declare static methods and variables using

the static modifier

• It associates the method or variable with the class rather than with an object of that class

• Static methods are sometimes called class methods and static variables are sometimes called class variables

• Let's carefully consider the implications of each

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 67

Static Variables• Normally, each object has its own data space, but if a

variable is declared as static, only one copy of the variable exists

private static float price;

• Memory space for a static variable is created when the class is first referenced

• All objects instantiated from the class share its static variables

• Changing the value of a static variable in one object changes it for all others

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 68

Static Methods

• Because it is declared as static, the cube method can be invoked through the class name:

value = Helper.cube(4);

public class Helper{ public static int cube (int num) { return num * num * num; }}

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 69


• The order of the modifiers can be interchanged, but by convention visibility modifiers come first

• Recall that the main method is static – it is invoked by the Java interpreter without creating an object

• Static methods cannot reference instance variables because instance variables don't exist until an object exists

• However, a static method can reference static variables or local variables

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 70


• Static methods and static variables often work together

• The following example keeps track of how many Slogan objects have been created using a static variable, and makes that information available using a static method

• See SloganCounter.java • See Slogan.java

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 71

//********************************************************************// SloganCounter.java Author: Lewis/Loftus//// Demonstrates the use of the static modifier.//********************************************************************

Quick Check• Why can't a static method reference an instance variable?

– Because instance data is created only when an– object is created.

– You don't need an object to execute a static method.

– And even if you had an object, which object's instance– data would be referenced? (remember, the method is– invoked through the class name)

Wrapper Classes

Primitive Type Wrapper Classbyte Byte

short Shortint Integerlong Longfloat Floatdouble Doublechar Character

boolean Boolean

• The java.lang package contains wrapper classes that correspond to each primitive type:

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 79

Wrapper Classes

• The following declaration creates an Integer object which represents the integer 40 as an object

Integer age = new Integer(40);

• An object of a wrapper class can be used in any situation where a primitive value will not suffice

• For example, some objects serve as containers of other objects

• Primitive values could not be stored in such containers, but wrapper objects could be

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 80

Wrapper Classes

• Wrapper classes also contain static methods that help manage the associated type

• For example, the Integer class contains a method to convert an integer stored in a String to an int value:

num = Integer.parseInt(str);

• They often contain useful constants as well

• For example, the Integer class contains MIN_VALUE and MAX_VALUE which hold the smallest and largest int values

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 81

Autoboxing

• Autoboxing is the automatic conversion of a primitive value to a corresponding wrapper object:

Integer obj;

int num = 42;

obj = num;

• The assignment creates the appropriate Integer object

• The reverse conversion (called unboxing) also occurs automatically as needed

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 82

Quick Check

• Are the following assignments valid? Explain.Double value = 15.75;

Character ch = new Character('T');

char myChar = ch;

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 83

Quick Check

• Are the following assignments valid? Explain.– Double value = 15.75;

• Yes. The double literal is autoboxed into a Double object.– Character ch = new Character('T');

• Yes, the char in the object is unboxed before the assignment.– char myChar = ch;

Class Relationships

• Classes in a software system can have various types of relationships to each other

• Three of the most common relationships:– Dependency: A uses B– Aggregation: A has-a B– Inheritance: A is-a B

• Let's discuss dependency and aggregation further

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 86

Dependency

• A dependency exists when one class relies on another in some way, usually by invoking the methods of the other

• We've seen dependencies in many previous examples

• We don't want numerous or complex dependencies among classes

• Nor do we want complex classes that don't depend on others

• A good design strikes the right balance

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 87

Dependency

• Some dependencies occur between objects of the same class

• A method of the class may accept an object of the same class as a parameter

• For example, the concat method of the String class takes as a parameter another String object

str3 = str1.concat(str2);

Dependency

• The following example defines a class called RationalNumber

• A rational number is a value that can be represented as the ratio of two integers

• Several methods of the RationalNumber class accept another RationalNumber object as a parameter

• See RationalTester.java

• See RationalNumber.java

Aggregation

• An aggregate is an object that is made up of other objects

• Therefore aggregation is a has-a relationship– A car has a chassis

• An aggregate object contains references to other objects as instance data

• This is a special kind of dependency; the aggregate relies on the objects that compose it

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 101

Aggregation

• In the following example, a Student object is composed, in part, of Address objects

• A student has an address (in fact each student has two addresses)

• See StudentBody.java

• See Student.java

• See Address.java

The this Reference

• The this reference allows an object to refer to itself

• That is, the this reference, used inside a method, refers to the object through which the method is being executed

• Suppose the this reference is used inside a method called tryMe, which is invoked as follows:

obj1.tryMe();

obj2.tryMe();

• In the first invocation, the this reference refers to obj1; in the second it refers to obj2

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 110

The this reference• The this reference can be used to distinguish the

instance variables of a class from corresponding method parameters with the same names

• The constructor of the Account class from Chapter 4 could have been written as follows:

public Account (String name, long acctNumber, double balance){ this.name = name; this.acctNumber = acctNumber; this.balance = balance;}

Data Scope• The scope of data is the area in a program in which that

data can be referenced (used)

• Data declared at the class level can be referenced by all methods in that class

• Data declared within a method can be used only in that method

• Data declared within a method is called local data

• In the compareStudents class, the variable scan is declared inside the main method -- it is local to that method and cannot be referenced anywhere else

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 117

Instance Data

• A variable declared at the class level (such as name) is called class attribute or instance variable


• A class declares the type of the data, but it does not reserve memory space for it

• Each time a Student object is created, a new name variable is created as well

• The objects of a class share the method definitions, but each object has its own data space

The toString Method

• It's good practice to define a toString method for a class

• The toString method returns a character string that represents the object in some way

• It is called automatically when an object is concatenated to a string or when it is passed to the println method

• It's also convenient for debugging problems

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 126

Data Scope• The scope of data is the area in a program in which

that data can be referenced (used)

• Data declared at the class level can be referenced by all methods in that class

• Data declared within a method can be used only in that method

• Data declared within a method is called local data• In the Die class, the variable result is declared

inside the toString method -- it is local to that method and cannot be referenced anywhere else

2015

@ Sonia Sousa 127

Instance Data

• A variable declared at the class level (such as faceValue) is called instance data


• A class declares the type of the data, but it does not reserve memory space for it

• Each time a Die object is created, a new faceValue variable is created as well

• The objects of a class share the method definitions, but each object has its own data space

UML Diagrams

• UML stands for the Unified Modeling Language• UML diagrams show relationships among classes

and objects

• A UML class diagram consists of one or more classes, each with sections for the class name, attributes (data), and operations (methods)

• Lines between classes represent associations• A dotted arrow shows that one class uses the other

(calls its methods)
