1. CIS 260: App Dev I Chapter 3: Intro to Objects & I/O

2. Objects and Reference Variables • Predefined Java classes you have used: • String—for defining and manipulating strings • Integer—for defining and manipulating integers • Double—for defining and manipulating _________. • Primitive integers and Integer objects • int aNumber = 78; • aNumber is a variable of the __________ data type int • aNumber is a variable (a memory location, say, 2500) that actually holds the value 78 • Integer aNumber = new Integer(78); • aNumber is a __________ variable (a memory location) that stores the memory location where the value 78 is stored • aNumber is called an _________ of the Integer class or an Integer _________

3. The Operator new • Integer aNumber = new Integer(78); • Theoperator_____does the following: • Assigns the memory location for the integer 78 • Stores 78 in that memory location • Stores the address of that memory location in the reference variable (object) called aNumber • aNumberis an _______ of theIntegerclass • Integer aNumber = new Integer(50);creates a new object calledaNumber, but aNumber points to a different address • Java’s automatic _______ collector will remove the 78 eventually, or you can useSystem.gc();

4. Predefined Classes and Methods • A ________ is a set of instructions designed to accomplish a specific task. • The method main() runs automatically. • Java has many _________ that contain classes that contain methods (all are predefined). • How to call the pow() method in the classMath: • result = Math.pow(2,3); • // result is 8 = 2 to the 3rd power • // the 2 and 3 are called arguments • ____ notation is used to access class members.

5. The class String • In Java, a string is not a variable, but an _____. • The following two statements are equivalent: • String name = “Lisa Johnson”; • name = new String(“Lisa Johnson”); • name is actually a reference variable that contains the address of the String ________. • A string contains ___ or more characters enclosed in double quotes. • The ________ of the first character in a string is 0, of the second character is 1, and so on.

6. Methods in the class String • The method substring() is a member of the class String. • Using String name = “Lisa Johnson”; : • name.substring(0,4) yields _______ • name.substring(5,12) yields “Johnson” • name.indexOf(‘J’) yields ___ • name.charAt(4) yields ‘ ’ • name.equals(“Lisa Johnson”) yields true • name.equals(“Luke Johnson”) yields ______ • name.length() yields ____ • name.replace('i','e') yields “Lesa Johnson” • The String object name has access to the String methods using the ____ operator.

7. Input/Output • You can input data into a Java program using a simple GUI (____________ user interface). • The class JOptionPane has the method showInputDialog() and is used as follows: name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(“Enter your name”); • A message can be displayed to the user using the showMessageDialog() method: JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,“Hello World!”,”Greetings”,JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

8. More Input/Output • The class JOptionPane is in the package javax.swing, which must be imported. • A program that uses a GUI must end with the statement System.exit(0) to terminate the GUI “________”. • It is better to create an output string within the program, then use that string in the GUI. JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, outputString, guiTitle, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

9. Tokenizing a String • A string can be broken up into parts called ________ using the class StringTokenizer, which is in the package java.util. • Example: StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(“Richard Johnson”); String firstName = tokenizer.nextToken(); String lastName = tokenizer.nextToken(); • The above example will store “Richard” in firstName and “Johnson” in lastName.

10. Formatting Output • The class DecimalFormat can format numbers to a specific number of decimal places. • The following statement creates the DecimalFormat object: DecimalFormat twoDecimal = new DecimalFormat("0.00"); • The following statement uses the DecimalFormat object: formattedNumber = twoDecimal.format(number); • If number contains 38.987 then formattedNumber contains ________ (rounding is performed)

11. File Input/Output • It is often more efficient to get input from and send output to a file on a disk (instead of using the keyboard or ________). • A file is an area in __________ storage that holds information. • To input data from a file use the class FileReader. • To output data to a file use the classes FileWriter and PrintWriter (in the package _________).

12. More on File Input • This statement creates a FileReader object associated with a specific file on a disk, then reads an entire line of data from the file, storing the line of data in a BufferedReader object. BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(“a:\\prog.dat”)); • If the line contains different data segments, use StringTokenizer to break it up and store data in __________.

13. Writing to a File • First, create a __________ object and associate it with the destination file. • Then, create a ___________ object using the FileWriter object. • This can be done in a single statement: PrintWriter outFile = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(“a:\\prog.out”); • You write data to the file with a statement like outFile.println(“The paycheck is: $” + pay); • You _______ the file with outFile.close(); • If the output file doesn’t exist, Java will create it. • If it does exist, Java will overwrite it.
