Each CPU has its own machine language. –Motorola 68000 series processors –Intel x86 series processors –DEC Alpha processors, etc. Example of a machine language instruction: –1011010000000101 (ADD) –1011010000000101 (MOV) In the distant past, programmers wrote programs in machine language.

Common concepts: –Key words ( 關鍵字 ) Reserved words ( 保留字 ) –Operators ( 運算子 ) –Punctuation ( 標點符號 ) –Programmer-defined identifiers ( 自訂識別字 ) –Strict syntactic rules. ( 語法規則 )

11. © 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 1-11 Programming Languages Sample Program Key words in the sample program are: Key words are lower case (Java is a case sensitive language). – 課堂活動：讓我們試試把 public 改成 PUBLIC… Key words cannot be used as a programmer-defined identifier. – 課堂活動：讓我們試試把 main 改成 public… – 課堂活動：讓我們試試把 main 改成 class… public class static void

12. © 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 1-12 Programming Languages Semi-colons are used to end Java statements( 敘 述 ) not all lines of a Java program end a statement. Part of learning Java is to learn where to properly use the punctuation.

13. © 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 1-13 Programming Languages Lines vs Statements There are differences between lines ( 行 ) and statements when discussing source code. System.out.println( message); This is one Java statement written using two lines. A statement is a complete Java instruction that causes the computer to perform an action.

Variables are created by the programmer who assigns it a programmer-defined identifier. example: int hours = 40; In this example, the variable hours is created as an integer (more on this later) and assigned the value of 40. 請幫我把右邊第三個抽屜裡面 的東西拿給我
