Chapter 3 Classes and Objects
Refer to page 60 in the text.
Emphasize that a class is similar to a blueprint. The class defines how each object created from the “blueprint” will look and behave, but a class is not the object itself.

Chapter 3 Package
Refer to page 60 in the text.
A package contains related classes. It is convenient for a programmer when a single package contains multiple classes for use in an application. Packages allow code (classes) to be reused over and over again.

Chapter 3 Application Package
Refer to page 60 in the text.
An application is contained in a package. A package must contain a controlling class (with a main() method) in order to be an application. The application package can contain additional classes as well.

<press space bar> A package name is declared with a package statement.
<press space bar> The comment describes the purpose of the application.
<press space bar> The class declaration creates a new class named Greeting.
<press space bar> The main() method indicates that the class is a controlling class. The main() method will be run automatically when the application is executed.
<press space bar> Statements are instructions. The println() statement will display output to the screen when the application is run.

Refer to page 62 in the text.
In order to execute a Java application, the source code must be compiled to code that the computer understands.
In Java, the source code is converted to bytecode with a compiler. Next, the bytecode is interpreted by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to execute the application and produce output. Note that the bytecode, not source code, is what must be run from a computer that has a JVM.

7. Chapter 3 The format() Method
11/29/2018 5:59 AM
Chapter 3 The format() Method
A method in the System class
Used to control the way output is displayed
Requires a format string and an argument list
The format string specifier takes the form: %[alignment][width]s
For example System.out.format("%-6s %4s", "Test1", "90"); displays: Test1 90
Refer to page 64 in the text.
The format() method can be used in place of the print() or println() methods to control the way output is displayed.

8. Chapter 3 Code Conventions
11/29/2018 5:59 AM
Chapter 3 Code Conventions
An introductory comment should begin a program.
Package names should begin with a lowercase letter and then an uppercase letter should begin each word within the name.
Class names should be nouns and begin with an uppercase letter and an uppercase letter should begin each word within the name.
A comment block should be included before each class.
Refer to page 65 in the text.
Code conventions are a set of guidelines for writing an application. Code conventions can make modifying and maintaining code faster, easier, and less expensive.

9. Chapter 3 Code Conventions (con't)
11/29/2018 5:59 AM
Chapter 3 Code Conventions (con't)
Comments should not reiterate what is clear from the code.
Statements in a method should be indented.
An open curly brace ({) should be placed on the same line as the class or method declaration, and the closing curly brace (}) should be on a separate line and aligned with the class or method declaration.
