4. CSE 11 Warning • JOptionPane is covered in this class. • But you read about it on your own.

5. Home Work 2 • Posted in public and on web • Deadlinesturnin: Wed Jan 22 (Do not turn it in before January 19th) interview: Saturday January 25 • .class files in public directory • Do not need to turnin the HW if you take an interview before the turnin deadline

6. turnin –c cs11w FileName.java • Instructions in public. • You must be logged onto sunpal as yourself. • The file you are turning in must be in the same directory as you. • Only has the last file you turned in. • If you do an interview before the turnin deadline, then you do not turn in the assignment at all.

7. Inner Class • Class defined within another class. • Can be private and then local to the outer class. • For now, we use it only to make a hw assignment into a single class for the turnin program. (Can make inner classes either public or private for this.)

8. Encapsulation • ADT (Abstract Data Type) • API (Application Programmer Interface) • You should be able to change the implementation of a class and not have to change any application program that uses the class.

9. javadoc • Automatically extracts HTML documentation from classes. • Only takes public stuff • Only takes comments of the form /** This comment must be just before something public. */

10. Some Style Guidelines • Identifiers: Class, aVariable, aMethod, A_CONSTANT • Comments: No obvious comments • Comment at head of file with name, assignment number, etc. • Comment before each class definition describing comment. • Comment before each non-obvious method telling what the parameters are and what the method does.

11. Class Type Variables Contain References • A reference is a memory location. • A reference is a pointer, but you never say “pointer” in Java. • Java has no pointer types, but • All class objects are handed by reference. (I.e., its all pointers, but automatic pointers.)

12. The Species Class publicclass Species { private String name; privateint population; privatedouble growthRate;

13. publicclass Species { private String name; privateint population; privatedouble growthRate; public void setPopulation(int newPopulation) {//This method not in book, but … if (newPopulation >= 0) population = newPopulation; else { System.out.println("ERROR."); Sytem.exit(0); }

14. Species s1 = new Species(); s1.setPopulation(13); //s1 now has a population of 13 Species s2; s2 = s1; s2.setPopulation(100); //s1 now has a population of 100

15. Class Parameter • Are call by value, but • The value is a reference. • Cannot change the reference (pointer) value, but you can change what it references (points to).

16. Class Parameters • A method can change the values of instance variables in a class argument.

17. == checks for the actual content of the variables (or whatever) and returns true if the contents are equal. • Primitive types: No surprises. • Class types: returns true if the the two references are the same. Returns false if two classes stored in different locations in memory, even if data all matches

18. Species klingonSpecies =new Species(); Species earthSpecies =new Species (); klingonSpecies.set("Klingon ox", 10, 15); earthSpecies.set("Klingon ox", 10, 15); if (klingonSpecies == earthSpecies) System.out.println("They are EQUAL."); else System.out.println("They are NOT equal.");

19. Define an equals method for classes publicclass Species { private String name; privateint population; privatedouble growthRate;

20. Define an equals method for classes publicboolean equals(Species otherObject) { return ((this.name.equalsIgnoreCase(otherObject.name)) && (this.population == otherObject.population) && (this.growthRate == otherObject.growthRate)); }

21. Quiz Time

22. publicclass Species { private String name; privateint population; privatedouble growthRate;

23. publicint femalePopulation() { return (population/2 + population%2); }

24. Static Methods and Variables. • Applies to both methods and instance variables. • Indicated with modifier static. • Means there is only one for all objects. • Static methods can be, normally are, invoked with class name, e.gSavitchIn.readLine()

25. Staic Variables • Kind of instance variables. • One variables used for all objects. • All objects read and write the one variable.

26. public class Sample{ private static int count; public static final double PI = 3.14259;

27. Static Methods • Can be invoked using class name instead of a calling object. • They have no thisanything of the form this.variable or this.method is not allowedEven if the “this.” is only implicit

28. Static Methods • All the methods in SavithcIn • Methods in the class Math • Methods in Wrapper Classes
