An object can have methods and attributes Keyword class indicates a class definition follows We will discuss static and void later Java allows a statement to be made up of multiple lines of text Semicolons delimit one statement from the next // indicates rest of the line is a comment Comments are used to document authors, purpose, and program elements public, static, and void are keywords. They cannot be used as names public means the method is shareable Programs are read by people – make sure they are readable. Use whitespace, comments, and indentation to aidunderstanding A method is a named piece of code that performs some action or implements a behavior An application program is required to have a public static void method named main().
Indentation // Authors: J. P. Cohoon and J. W. Davidson // Purpose: display a quotation in a console window public class DisplayForecast { // method main(): application entry point public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.print("I think there is a world market for"); System.out.println(" maybe five computers."); System.out.println(" Thomas Watson, IBM, 1943."); } } Method main() is part of DisplayForecast Statements are part of method main() Indentation indicates subcomponents
Good whitespacing // Authors: J. P. Cohoon and J. W. Davidson // Purpose: display a quotation in a console window public class DisplayForecast { // method main(): application entry point public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.print("I think there is a world market for"); System.out.println(" maybe five computers."); System.out.println(" Thomas Watson, IBM, 1943."); } } Whitespace Whitespace separates program elements Whitespace between program elements is ignored by Java
Bad whitespacing • The same program without any whitespacing or comments: public class DisplayForecast2 { public static void main (String[] args) { System.out.print("I think there is a world market for"); System.out.println(" maybe five computers."); System.out.println(" Thomas Watson, IBM, 1943."); } }
A whitespacing aside: IOCCC • The International Obfuscated C Code Contest • Online at http://www.ioccc.org • C has very terse syntax • So the contest tries to make it terser! • One common method is by modifying the whitespace

Identifiers • Identifiers are names for variables, classes, etc. • Good ones are compact, but inidicate what they stand for • radius, width, height, length • Bad ones are either too long • theRadiusOfTheCircle • theWidthOfTheBoxThatIsBeingUsed • the_width_of_the_box_that_is_being_used • Or too short • a, b, c, d, e • Good identifiers will help the graders understand your program!
Keywords • Some words are reserved, and can’t be used as identifiers // Authors: J. P. Cohoon and J. W. Davidson // Purpose: display a quotation in a console window public class DisplayForecast { // method main(): application entry point public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.print("I think there is a world market for"); System.out.println(" maybe five computers."); System.out.println(" Thomas Watson, IBM, 1943."); } } // Authors: J.

Capitalization • Case matters! • public ≠ Public ≠ PUBLIC • This is different than FORTRAN and BASIC • This is the same as C/C++ • You can use Public as a identifier • Not recommended, though!
Statements • A statement in Java is (usually) a single line • Example: System.out.println (“Hello world!”); • All statements must end with a semi-colon • That tells Java that the statement is finished
A bit of humor:1989 ComputerAdvertisement Guess the price!
5 x Defining variables • We’ve seen variables before in math • y = mx + b • Here y, m, x, and b can hold any value • To store things in a computer program, we also use variables • Example: • int x = 5; • Visualization: • This defines an integer variable with value 5 • The variable is x • The type is int
4.3 d More on variables • An integer variable can only hold integers • In other words, it can’t hold 4.3 • To hold floating point values, we use the double type • double d = 4.3; • The variable is d • The type is double
Primitive variable assignment • Assignment operator = • Allows the variable to be updated • Consider int j = 11; j = 1985; • Assignment operator = • Allows the memory location for a variable to be updated • Consider int j = 11; j = 1985;
Primitive variable assignment • Consider int a = 1; int aSquared = a * a; a = 5; aSquared = a * a; • Consider int i = 0; i = i + 1; • Consider int asaRating; asaRating = 400; int a = 1; int aSquared = a * a; a = 5; aSquared = a * a; int i = 0; i = i + 1; int asaRating; asaRating = 400;
Primitive variable assignment • Consider double x = 5.12; double y = 19.28; double rememberX = x; x = y; y = rememberX; • Consider double x = 5.12; double y = 19.28; double rememberX = x; x = y; y = rememberX; • Consider double x = 5.12; double y = 19.28; double rememberX = x; x = y; y = rememberX; • Consider double x = 5.12; double y = 19.28; double rememberX = x; x = y; y = rememberX; • Consider double x = 5.12; double y = 19.28; double rememberX = x; x = y; y = rememberX; • Consider double x = 5.12; double y = 19.28; double rememberX = x; x = y; y = rememberX;
Printing variables • To print a variable to the screen, put it in a System.out.println() statement: • int x = 5; • System.out.println (“The value of x is “ + x); • Important points: • Strings are enclosed in double quotes • If there are multiple parts to be printed, they are separated by a plus sign
public class SolvingABC { public static void main(String[] args) { // variable definitions and initializations int a = 3; int b = 12; int c = 6; int d = 1; // calculate results double result1 = d * a; double result2 = c + 2 * a; double result3 = d - b / c; double result4 = c * b % c; double result5 = b / 2; // display the results System.out.println(); System.out.println("result1 : " + result1); System.out.println("result2 : " + result2); System.out.println("result3 : " + result3); System.out.println("result4 : " + result4); System.out.println("result5 : " + result5); System.out.println(); } } From this week’s lab Note that I don’t show a lot of comments so that the code will fit on a single slide Also note all the semi-colons
Variable initialization • Note that the following • int x; • x = 5; • is (mostly) the same as the following: • int x = 5;
You can only declare variables once • The following code will not work: • int x = 5; • int x = 6; • Java can have only one variable named x • So you can’t declare multiple variables with the same name • (we’ll see ways around this later in the semester)
Primitive variable types • Java has 8 (or so) primitive types: • float • double • boolean • char • byte • short • int • long real numbers two values: true and false a single character integer numbers • Also the void “type”, which we will see later • We’ll only be using half of the types in this course: int, double, boolean, and char
Primitive real (floating-point) types • A float takes up 4 bytes of space • Has 6 decimal places of accuracy: 3.14159 • A double takes up 8 bytes of space • Has 15 decimal places of accuracy: 3.14159265358979 • Always use doubles • It will save you quite a headache!
Primitive integer types • Consider a byte: • 1 byte = 8 bits • Each bit has two possibilities: 0 or 1 • 28 = 256 • Thus, a byte can have any one of 256 values • A Java byte can have values from -128 to 127 • From -27 to 27-1 • C/C++ has unsigned versions; Java does not
Increment and decrement operators • ++ • Increments a number variable by 1 • -- • Decrements a numeric variable by 1 • Consider int i = 4; // define ++i; System.out.println(i); System.out.print(++i); System.out.println(i++); System.out.println(i); • ++ • Increments a number variable by 1 • -- • Decrements a numeric variable by 1 • Consider int i = 4; ++i; // increment System.out.println(i); System.out.print(++i); System.out.println(i++); System.out.println(i); • ++ • Increments a number variable by 1 • -- • Decrements a numeric variable by 1 • Consider int i = 4; ++i; System.out.println(i); // display System.out.print(++i); System.out.println(i++); System.out.println(i); • ++ • Increments a number variable by 1 • -- • Decrements a numeric variable by 1 • Consider int i = 4; ++i; System.out.println(i); System.out.print(++i); // update then display System.out.println(i++); System.out.println(i); • ++ • Increments a number variable by 1 • -- • Decrements a numeric variable by 1 • Consider int i = 4; ++i; System.out.println(i); System.out.print(++i); System.out.println(i++); // display then update System.out.println(i); • ++ • Increments a number variable by 1 • -- • Decrements a numeric variable by 1 • Consider int i = 4; ++i; System.out.println(i); System.out.print(++i); System.out.println(i++); System.out.println(i); // display • ++ • Increments a number variable by 1 • -- • Decrements a numeric variable by 1 • Consider int i = 4; ++i; System.out.println(i); System.out.print(++i); System.out.println(i++); System.out.println(i);
Why C++ was named C++ • The increment operator adds one to the integer value • Or makes it ‘one better’ • So when Bjarne Stroustrup was making the successor to C, he was making a ‘one better’ language
Primitive character type • All characters have a integer equivalent • ‘0’ = 48 • ‘1’ = 49 • ‘A’ = 65 • ‘a’ = 97 • Thus, you can refer to ‘B’ as ‘A’+1
Primitive boolean type • The boolean type has only two values: • true • false • There are boolean-specific operators • && is and • || is or • ! is not • etc. • We’ll see those operators in a few slides
Variables must be declared before use • The following code will not work: • x = 5; • System.out.println (x); • Java requires you to declare x before you use it
Variable initialization • Consider the following code: int x; System.out.println(x); • What happens? • Error message: • variable x might not have been initialized • Java also requires you to give x a value before you use it
Constants • Consider the following: final int x = 5; • The value of x can NEVER be changed! • The value assigned to it is “final” • This is how Java defines constants • Constants have a specific naming scheme • MILES_PER_KILOMETER • All caps, with underscores for spaces
Expressions • What is the value used to initialize expression int expression = 4 + 2 * 5; • What value is displayed System.out.println(5 / 2.0); • Java rules in a nutshell • Each operator has a precedence level and an associativity • Operators with higher precedence are done first • * and / have higher precedence than + and - • Associativity indicates how to handle ties • When floating-point is used the result is floating point
Question on expressions • Does the following statement compute the average of double variables a, b, and c? Why or why not? double average = a + b + c / 3.0;
Java operators • The following are the common operators for ints: • + - / * % • Division is integer division • 6 / 2 yields 3 • 7 / 2 yields 3, not 3.5 • Because everything is an int, the answer is an int • Modulus is % • Returns the remainder • 7 % 2 yields 1 • 6 % 2 yields 0 • Floats and doubles use the same first four operators • + - / * • 7.0 / 2.0 yields 3.5 • 7.0 / 2 yields 3.5 • 7 / 2.0 yields 3.5 • 7 / 2 yields 3
Java operators • Booleans have their own operators • && is AND • Only true when both operands are true • true && true yields true • false && true yields false • || is OR • True when either of the operands (or both) are true • true || false yields true • false || false yields false • ! is NOT • Changes the value • !true yields false • !false yields true
System.out.println • Can print multiple things by using the + operator • Let int i = 7; • Example: System.out.println (“i = “ + i); • Prints i = 7 • Can also have the statement on multiple lines System.out.println ( “hello world!” ) ; • But can’t have the String on multiple lines System.out.println ( “hello world!” );
System.out.println • System.out.println (“result: “ + 3/5); • What does it print? • result: 0 • System.out.println (“result: “ + 5 % 3); • What does it print? • result: 2 • System.out.println (“result: “ + 3/5.0); • What does it print? • result: 0.6 • System.out.println (“result: “ + 3+4.0); • What does it print? • result: 34.0 • System.out.println (“result: “ + (3+4.0)); • What does it print? • result: 7.0
Functions • In Java, functions are called methods • Think of mathematical functions: • sin() • cos() • tan() • They take input (the angle) • And produce output (the result) • In Java, they are called Math.sin(), Math.cos(), etc. • Meaning, from the Math library, call the sin() method
import java.util.*; public class MathFun { public static void main(String[] args) { // set up the Scanner object Scanner stdin = new Scanner(System.in); // have the user input the values for x and y System.out.print("Enter a decimal number: "); double x = stdin.nextDouble(); System.out.print("Enter another decimal number: "); double y = stdin.nextDouble(); double squareRootX = Math.sqrt(x); System.out.println ("Square root of " + x + " is " + squareRootX); } } From this week’s lab
Interactive programs • Programs that interact with their users through statements performing input and output • Temperature conversion (coming up shortly) • Not interactive – Celsius temperature is fixed • BMI.java (coming up somewhat less shortly) • Not interactive – weight and height are fixed
Reading in a value from the keyboard • We will see this in more detail later in this slide set • For now (and for lab 2), this is what you need to know • To read in values from the keyboard, you first have to create a Scanner object • Don’t worry about what an object is, what a Scanner is, or about creation of these things • We’ll get to them later • To do this, use the following code: Scanner stdin = new Scanner (System.in); • NOT the following code: Scanner stdin = Scanner.create (System.in);
Reading in more values from the keyboard • You should have this only once in your program. • From then on, when you want to read in a value into a variable, use the following: int x = stdin.nextInt(); double d = stdin.nextDouble(); • Or x = stdin.nextInt(); d = stdin.nextDouble();
