Chapter 3 Numerical Data Any questions on Chapter 3? We’ll skip GregorianCalendar class. © CS1101 (AY Semester 1)Week3 - 4

What are the answers? (1/2) (int) = 30 % 7 = 30 / 7 = 30.0 / 7 = 30 / 7.0 = 30.0 / 7.0 = (double) 30 / 7 = 30 / (double) 7 = (double) (30 / 7) = © CS1101 (AY Semester 1)Week

What are the answers? (2/2) "Java" = "Java" = "Java" + ( ) = 1 + "Java" = "Java" + 3 = © CS1101 (AY Semester 1)Week

Temperature Conversion The following is the formula to convert temperature in degree Fahrenheit to Celsius:  C = (5/9) × (F – 32) Download “Ch3TemperatureConvert.java” and test it.  Why doesn’t it work?  Can you correct the program?  Note: This type of error is very common! © CS1101 (AY Semester 1)Week3 - 7

Loan Calculator Let’s study the development of this program. © CS1101 (AY Semester 1)Week3 - 8

Take-home lab assignment #1 It has been released. Deadline is next Monday, 31 August 2009, 23:59hr. Any questions? © CS1101 (AY Semester 1)Week3 - 9

Java API Documentation (1/2) A very important website  © CS1101 (AY Semester 1)Week Bookmark it!

Java API Documentation (2/2) It’s impossible to cover everything about a standard (built-in) class, so you need to look it up yourself. For example, in take-home lab #1, you need to look for these yourself: Exercise 1: What is the maximum integer value in Java? Exercise 3: What is the method in Scanner class to read the user’s input as a line of text? Exercise 4: What is the appropriate method in Math class to compute the hypothenuse? © CS1101 (AY Semester 1)Week3 - 11

Chapter 4 Defining Your Own Classes – Part 1 Let’s go to Chapter 4. © CS1101 (AY Semester 1)Week3 - 12

Summary for Today What are numerical data types? Performing computation on numerical data Some standard (built-in) classes  DecimalFormat  Scanner  Math  Random API documentation page How to define and use your own class (to be continued next week) © CS1101 (AY Semester 1)Week3 - 13

Announcements/Things-to-do Take-home lab #1 deadline: 31 August 2009, Monday, 23:59hr. To prepare for next week’s lecture:  Read Chapter 4 (again) and Chapter 5 and their PowerPoint files before you come for lecture.  Do Quick Check questions in Chapter 4. Check out the answers (on CS1101 website) yourself. To prepare for next week’s discussion session:  Download “week4_discussion_qns.pdf” from module website, “CA – Discussion”.  Do the questions before you attend your discussion session. © CS1101 (AY Semester 1)Week3 - 14
