  2. Printing a line of text // This program prints aline of text // by: Terry Clayton // Aug 25, 2003 public class HelloWorld { public static void main( String args[] ) { System.out.println("Hello\n"); } } • So what are the parts?

  3. Java Comments • // single line comments • /* multiple line comments • more here */ • Why comments? • Convey clearer understanding of a class or method. • Do not over comment • Provide information on authors, dates and history of changes

  4. Making programs readable • Use “white” blank spaces before each class and method definition • Use indentation after each parenthesis • Place comments at beginning of class and method definitions

  5. Defining a class • public class HelloWorld • Notice the user-defined class name “HelloWorld” • User defined names in Java are called identifiers • The words public and class are Java reserved words or key words. • The public class name must be the same as the java file name. • HelloWorld.java

  6. Identifiers • Are created by the programmer for class method and variable names. • They are case sensitive in Java. • Hello and hello are different. • Avoid special characters like $%^ in names. • Can not contain spaces • Use “_” or capitalization to introduce word breaks. • HelloWorld or Hello_World

  7. The main method • This method is the starting point for a java application • All Java applications have a main method it must be declared like this: • public static void main( String args[] )

  8. Calling a method from another object • We can call and use many different methods. Some will be user defined and other will be part of the Java API • System.out.println("Hello\n"); • This is calling the system output stream to print the message “Hello” • The \n is a new line control character. Others are \r \t \\ \” • This output goes to the command window. (your DOS window) • “Hello” is a string literal they must be in double quotes • All together this forms a statement

  9. Statements in Java • Are the commands to perform a single task. • Calling methods in one form of statement. • Executing arithmetic expressions is another form of statement. • Statements must end with a “;” semicolon or the compiler will report an error.

  10. Errors!!! • When we type our programs in we will no doubt enter it 100% correctly. • NOT!!! • So errors are likely. • Syntax error are the most common errors. • They are reported by the compiler. • Others error can occur while the program is running (we will talk about these later)

  11. Compiling the program • Open a dos window • Set the path • Change to the drive and directory where your program is stored • Type: javac HelloWorld.java • This will produce a HelloWorld.class file if it is a clean compile. • Otherwise you will get a list of errors to debug

  12. Once compiled we can Run • To run the Java program • Type: Java HelloWorld in our command window.

  13. Adding to and changing a program • Reopen the source(.java) file with an editor. • Add another print statement. • Save • Compile • And run

  14. Let’s fancy our Java up with a window. // Welcome.java import javax.swing.*; public class Welcome { public static void main ( String arg[]) { JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Welcome\n"); // This is required with windows based java applications // it terminates the application // without this the program will hang up in older versions System.exit(0); } }

  15. The import statement • Tells the compiler where to find library files. • In this case in the javax.swing package (library) • The java API is huge you can find documentation on it at • java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/index.html • If we forget the import statement we will get errors. • Lets demonstrate!!!

  16. Calling a method with arguments JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Welcome\n"); • This statement calls a method that requires 2 arguments. • Arguments are information passed into a method call. • The first one is null this is a place holder for an argument that we will not use. • The second is a message for our output window.

  17. Structured programming • Remember all structured programming languages have these parts • Sequence - Flow of instructions • Iteration – Repeating instructions • Selection – Conditional statements • Key elements • Variables and expressions • Support for modularization

  18. Now for something less trivial • A program to add integers import javax.swing.*; public class addint { public static void main (String arg[]) { String fnum; String snum; int num1,num2,sum; fnum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter First Number?"); snum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Second Number?"); num1=Integer.parseInt(fnum); num2=Integer.parseInt(snum); sum = num1+num2; JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The sum is"+sum,"Results", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE); System.exit(0); } }

  19. Keywords or Reserved words • import • public • super • while • char • float • double • return • class for int if else extends void …. Can not be used as programmer declared identifier.

  20. Variables and literals • To make the preceding program work we need some way to store the values that will be used in the computation. • String variable can store alpha numeric text and special symbols. • “115”, “Hello”, “Ctow&%//gt12” are all string literals • int – short for integer variable can store integer numbers only. • 3.14 is not an integer 3 is.

  21. Variables and memory • Choose meaningful names • String variable can be large and consume lots of memory. • Each character is stored in unicode (a 2 byte derivation of ascII) • Integer variables are 4 byte in size and store information in binary format.

  22. Other Variables types • String – This is actually a class type • These are all primitive data types • int • short • long • float • double • character • byte • boolean – True or False

  23. Primitive data types • defined by type size and values

  24. Declaring and initializing variables int x = 10; • Or int x; X=10;

  25. Type casting • Converting one type to another • This is need for example • float rad, circ; • circ = (float)Math.PI * rad; • // this type casts double value of Math.PI to a float. • without this a syntax error message will be generated by the compiler. • We can type case and primitive or object type. • We are not required to type cast when converting to a larger storage class. • ie from float to double.

  26. Concatenation • System.out.println(“Hello “ + name ); • System.out.printlin(“Pay = “ + pay); • We can display unicode characters using the \uXXXX escape sequence. • See page 723 for unicode table

  27. Constants • Help to make programs easier to maintain. • Help to make the programs easier to read. • final double TAXRATE = 0.06; • Sales = Amt * quant * ( 1 + TAXRATE);

  28. Dialog boxes • The swing API provides classes and methods for creating and using dialog boxes. • JOptionPane.showInputDialog(“prompt”); • JoptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, “The message”, “Windowtitle”, JoptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE) • ERROR_MESSAGE, WARNING_MESSAGE, QUESTION_MESSAGE are other options.

  29. Converting String values into integers • numint=Integer.parseInt(numstr) • Integer is a wrapper class. A class implementation of an integer value. • The parseint method converts the string argument to an integer and returns its value.

  30. Calculations - Arithmetic • A = B + C; • Sum = num1 + num2; • These are arithmetic expressions. • Composed of binary operators • = ( assignment ) • + ( addition )

  31. Operators Precedence • Binary Operators: • */%+- • % - Modulus operator (integer division remainder) • From left to right (infix notation) • The equal sign evaluates from right to left • Parenthesis can modify order of operations • A = C * (B + 2) vs A = C * B + 2

  32. The scanner class Import java.util.Scanner; String Name; Scanner linput = new Scanner(System.in) Name = linput.nextLine(); …

  33. Lets write a program • To compute the results of several arithmetic operations.

  34. Homework #2 (CS211/212) • Design, code and test problem 2.6, 2.10 • Due one week after date assigned • Turn in source code and class files on a labeled disk as per syllabus. • jc2e6.java and jc2e10.java • Also turn in class files
