What has happened? Java Program [Welcome.java] Java Compiler [javac] Compile Java Byte Code [Welcome.class] native code Translate Java Virtual Machine (JVM) [java] It locates the class method main() from the class Welcome and starts execution from there Michael Fung, CS&E, The Chinese University of HK
Big Program For Simple Task? • Yes, it just displays a little message. • When writing business letters, we conform to grammar and format. • Likewise for programming! • For more complicated tasks, such overheads are relatively trivial. Michael Fung, CS&E, The Chinese University of HK
Software Life Cycle • Computer programming is not just writing programs after learning a language. requirements specification program design conception design analysis 70% of the software cost is related to software maintenance in the operation phase.Well-designed and constructed software is easier to maintain. coding actual program operation debugging testing Michael Fung, CS&E, The Chinese University of HK
