TOPS Technologies – Java Introductory tutorial M1 3

WELCOME

• History• First Java Application• Data types• Variables• Strings• Assignments• Math, Boolean expressions• Relational operations• If statements• System.exit


VERY BRIEF HISTORY

• Started in 1991 by SUN Microsystems• Targeted at consumer electronics. Wanted

reliable programming language.• Integrated into browsers• Evolved into write once run anywhere,

integrates into Netscape• General purpose libraries released


COURSE INFORMATION Textbook: Java in a Nutshell

Reading class 1chapters 1,2

6

BASIC DEFINITIONS

• Java is an object oriented language.• Object• Method• Class• Applications• Applets• Native classes• Threads• Exceptions

TOPS Technologies – Java Introductory tutorial M1


FIRST APPLICATION/***Hello World, first application, only output.*/import java.io.*;

public class hello{ public static void main (String [] args) {

System.out.println(“Hello World\n”);} //end main

}//end class

8

HOW TO GET IT RUNNING

• Text in hello.java file• Why?

• To compile:• javac hello.java

• To run:• java hello


9

NOTICE:• Java is CASE SENSITIVE!!• Whitespace is ignored by compiler• Whitespace makes things easier to read…hence it

affects your grade • File name has to be the same as class name in

file.• Need to import necessary class definitions


10

VARIABLES

• Variables:• Name• Type• Value

• Naming:• May contain numbers,underscore,dollar

sign, or letters• Can not start with number• Can be any length• Reserved keywords• Case sensitive


11

PRIMITIVE DATA TYPESByte 8 -27 27-1

Short 16 -215 215-1

Int 32 -231 231-1

Long 64

Float 32

Double 64

Boolean 1 0 1

Char 16


12

ASSIGNMENT

• =• Example:• int n;• n = 10;• or• int n = 10; //same


13

STRINGS• Not a primitive class, its actually something

called a wrapper class• To find a built in class’s method use API

documentation.• String is a group of char’s• A character has single quotes

• char c = ‘h’;• A String has double quotes

• String s = “Hello World”;• Method length

• int n = s.length;


14

USING STRINGS

public class hello{ public static void main (String [] args)

{String s = “Hello World\n”;System.out.println(s); //output

simple string} //end main

}//end class hello


15

MATH

• Unary• int x = -9;

• Regular math (+,-,*,/)• int y = 3+x;

• % modulo operator


16

INCREMENTING

• Increment and Decrement• i++ equivalent to i = i + 1;• Can also do ++i, which uses i before

incrementing it.• Decrementing: i--;


17

CASTING

int n = 40;Wrong : byte b = n;

why??Right: byte b = (byte) n;

Type casting converts to target type


18

CASTING II

• Type char is stored as a number. The ASCII value of the character.

• A declaration of :• char c = ‘B’;

stores the value 66 in location ccan use its value by casting to inthow??


19

ASSIGNMENT

• +=• -=• *=• /=• %=


20

BOOLEAN EXPRESSIONS

• boolean bb will be either true (1) or false (0)

• Logical operations: !(not), && (and) || (or)• boolean a,b;

a = true;b = false;System.out.println (“a && b is “ + (a && b));


21

RELATIONAL OPERATORS

== equality != inequality > greater than < less than >= greater than or equal to <= less than or equal to


22

THE IF - BRANCHING STATEMENT

• if ( x < y) {• x = y;• }

• if ( x < y ) {x = y;

}else { x = 88;}


23

IF/ELSE

• if (logic condition) {something}else if (logic condition) { something}else {something else}


24

NESTED IF

if ( x < 0 ) {System.out.println( “ x is negative “ );}

else {if ( x > 0 ) {

System.out.println ( “x is positive” );}//end if x > 0else {System.out.println ( “x is zero “ );}

} //end else x >=0


25

SWITCH/CASE

Switch(variable)

{case(1): something;

break;

case(23): something;

break;

default: something;

}


26

EXCEPTIONS

• Java exception object.• java.io.Exception

most general one.Some exception like in Throwable class define methods to get the message.


27

TRY….CATCH BLOCKS.

Try {…….} catch ( IOException v) {……….}


28

SYSTEM.OUT.PRINTLN

• println is a method in the Printstream class.• Defined:

• public void println(String x)

can be any type of string or combination string using addition to join parts.Example: println(“hello “ + “world “ + x);


29

SYSTEM.EXIT()

• One method in java.lang.System• Defined:

public static void exit ( int status)• Terminates currently running Java VM• Status is status code, non zero will

usually mean something abnormal.• Used at end to indicate success, or in

middle to signal problems.
