1. 1 2 2 Introduction to Java Applications

2. 2 2.1 Introduction Java application programming –Display messages –Obtain information from the user –Arithmetic calculations –Decision-making fundamentals

3. 3 2.2 First Program in Java: Printing a Line of Text Application –Executes when you use the java command to launch the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Sample program –Displays a line of text –Illustrates several important Java language features

4. 4 2.2 First Program in Java: Printing a Line of Text (Cont.) –Comments start with: // Comments ignored during program execution Document and describe code Provides code readability –Traditional comments: /*... */ /* This is a traditional comment. It can be split over many lines */ –Another line of comments –Note: line numbers not part of program, added for reference 1 // Fig. 2.1: Welcome1.java 2 // Text-printing program.

5. 5 2.2 First Program in Java: Printing a Line of Text (Cont.) –Blank line Makes program more readable Blank lines, spaces, and tabs are white-space characters – Ignored by compiler –Begins class declaration for class Welcome1 Every Java program has at least one user-defined class Keyword: words reserved for use by Java – class keyword followed by class name Naming classes: capitalize every word – SampleClassName 3 4 public class Welcome1

6. 6 2.2 First Program in Java: Printing a Line of Text (Cont.) –Java identifier Series of characters consisting of letters, digits, underscores ( _ ) and dollar signs ( $ ) Does not begin with a digit, has no spaces Examples: Welcome1, $value, _value, button7 – 7button is invalid Java is case sensitive (capitalization matters) – a1 and A1 are different –In chapters 2 to 7, use public class Certain details not important now Mimic certain features, discussions later 4 public class Welcome1

7. 7 2.2 First Program in Java: Printing a Line of Text (Cont.) –Saving files File name must be class name with.java extension Welcome1.java –Left brace { Begins body of every class Right brace ends declarations (line 13) 4 public class Welcome1 5 {

8. 8 2.2 First Program in Java: Printing a Line of Text (Cont.) –Part of every Java application Applications begin executing at main – Parentheses indicate main is a method (Ch. 3 and 6) – Java applications contain one or more methods Exactly one method must be called main –Methods can perform tasks and return information void means main returns no information For now, mimic main 's first line –Left brace begins body of method declaration Ended by right brace } (line 11) 7 public static void main( String args[] ) 8 {

9. 9 2.2 First Program in Java: Printing a Line of Text (Cont.) –Instructs computer to perform an action Prints string of characters – String - series characters inside double quotes White-spaces in strings are not ignored by compiler – System.out Standard output object Print to command window (i.e., MS-DOS prompt) –Method System.out.println Displays line of text –This line known as a statement Statements must end with semicolon ; 9 System.out.println( "Welcome to Java Programming!" );

10. 10 2.2 First Program in Java: Printing a Line of Text (Cont.) –Ends method declaration –Ends class declaration –Can add comments to keep track of ending braces 11 } // end method main 13 } // end class Welcome1

11. 11 2.3 Modifying Our First Java Program Modifying programs – Welcome2.java (Fig. 2.3) produces same output as Welcome1.java (Fig. 2.1) Welcome2.java (Fig. 2.3) –Using different code –Line 9 displays “Welcome to ” with cursor remaining on printed line –Line 10 displays “Java Programming! ” on same line with cursor on next line 9 System.out.print( "Welcome to " ); 10 System.out.println( "Java Programming!" );

12. 12 2.3 Modifying Our First Java Program (Cont.) Escape characters –Backslash ( \ ) –Indicates special characters be output Newline characters ( \n ) –Interpreted as “special characters” by methods System.out.print and System.out.println –Indicates cursor should be at the beginning of the next line – Welcome3.java (Fig. 2.4) Welcome3.java (Fig. 2.4) –Line breaks at \n 9 System.out.println( "Welcome\nto\nJava\nProgramming!" );

13. 13 Fig. 2.5 | Some common escape sequences.

14. 14 2.4 Displaying Text with printf System.out.printf –New feature of J2SE 5.0 –Displays formatted data –Format string Fixed text Format specifier – placeholder for a value –Format specifier %s – placeholder for a string –Other format specifiers 9 System.out.printf( "%s\n%s\n", 10 "Welcome to", "Java Programming!" );

15. 15 Formatting Output with printf printf –Precise output formatting Conversion specifications: flags, field widths, precisions, etc. –Can perform rounding aligning columns right/left justification inserting literal characters exponential format octal and hexadecimal format fixed width and precision date and time format

16. 16 Formatting Output with printf (Cont.) Format String –Describe the output format –Consist of fixed text and format specifier Format specifier –Placeholder for a value –Specify the type of data to output –Begins with a percent sign ( % ) and is followed by a conversion character E.g., %s, %d –Optional formatting information Argument index, flags, field width, precision Specified between % and conversion character

17. 17 Printing Integers Integer –Whole number (no decimal point): 25, 0, -9 –Positive, negative, or zero –Only minus sign prints by default (later we shall change this) Format – printf( format-string, argument-list ); –format-string Describe the output format –argument-list Contain the value corresponding to each format specifier

18. 18 Integer conversion characters. View demonstration program Fig. 28.3Fig. 28.3 –Note output of positive, negative numbers –Note octal (base 8) and hexadecimal (base 16) options

19. 19 Printing Floating-Point Numbers Floating Point Numbers –Have a decimal point ( 33.5 ) –Computerized scientific notation (exponential notation) 150.4582 is 1.504582 x 10² in scientific 150.4582 is 1.504582e+02 in exponential ( e stands for exponent) use e or E – f – print floating point with at least one digit to left of decimal – g (or G ) - prints in f or e ( E ) Use exponential if the magnitude is less than 10 -3, or greater than or equal to 10 7

20. 20 Floating-point conversion characters. View program using printf for floating point numbers, Figure 28.4Figure 28.4

21. 21 Printing Strings and Characters Conversion character c and C –Require char – C displays the output in uppercase letters Conversion character s and S – String – Object Implicitly use object’s toString method – S displays the output in uppercase letters View program demonstrating character conversion with printf, Fig. 28.5Fig. 28.5

22. 22 Printing with Field Widths and Precisions Field width –Size of field in which data is printed –If width larger than data, default right justified If field width too small, increases to fit data Minus sign uses one character position in field –Integer width inserted between % and conversion specifier E.g., %4d – field width of 4 –Can be used with all format specifiers except the line separator ( %n ) View program demonstrating field width, Fig. 28.12 Fig. 28.12

23. 23 Printing with Field Widths and Precisions Precision –Meaning varies depending on data type –Floating point Number of digits to appear after decimal ( e or E and f ) Maximum number of significant digits ( g or G ) –Strings Maximum number of characters to be written from string –Format Use a dot (. ) then precision number after % e.g., %.3f View program demonstrating precision, Fig. 28.13 Fig. 28.13

24. 24 Printing with Field Widths and Precisions Field width and precision –Can both be specified %width.precision %5.3f –Negative field width – left justified –Positive field width – right justified –Precision must be positive Example: printf( "%9.3f", 123.456789 );

25. 25 2.5 Another Java Application: Adding Integers Program Fig. 2.7 to do keyboard inputProgram Fig. 2.7 –Use Scanner to read two integers from user –Use printf to display sum of the two values –Use packages

26. 26 2.5 Another Java Application: Adding Integers (Cont.) – import declarations Used by compiler to identify and locate classes used in Java programs Tells compiler to load class Scanner from java.util package –Begins public class Addition Recall that file name must be Addition.java –Lines 8-9: begins main 3 import java.util.Scanner; // program uses class Scanner 5 public class Addition 6 {

27. 27 2.5 Another Java Application: Adding Integers (Cont.) –Variable Declaration Statement –Variables Location in memory that stores a value – Declare with name and type before use Input is of type Scanner – Enables a program to read data for use Variable name: any valid identifier –Declarations end with semicolons ; –Initialize variable in its declaration Equal sign Standard input object – System.in 10 // create Scanner to obtain input from command window 11 Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );

28. 28 2.5 Another Java Application: Adding Integers (Cont.) –Declare variable number1, number2 and sum of type int int holds integer values (whole numbers): i.e., 0, -4, 97 Types float and double can hold decimal numbers Type char can hold a single character: i.e., x, $, \n, 7 int, float, double and char are primitive types –Can add comments to describe purpose of variables –Can declare multiple variables of the same type in one declaration –Use comma-separated list 13 int number1; // first number to add 14 int number2; // second number to add 15 int sum; // second number to add int number1, // first number to add number2, // second number to add sum; // second number to add

29. 29 2.5 Another Java Application: Adding Integers (Cont.) –Message called a prompt - directs user to perform an action –Package java.lang –Result of call to nextInt given to number1 using assignment operator = Assignment statement = binary operator - takes two operands – Expression on right evaluated and assigned to variable on left Read as: number1 gets the value of input.nextInt() 17 System.out.print( "Enter first integer: " ); // prompt 18 number1 = input.nextInt(); // read first number from user

30. 30 2.5 Another Java Application: Adding Integers (Cont.) –Similar to previous statement Prompts the user to input the second integer –Similar to previous statement Assign variable number2 to second integer input –Assignment statement Calculates sum of number1 and number2 (right hand side) Uses assignment operator = to assign result to variable sum Read as: sum gets the value of number1 + number2 number1 and number2 are operands 20 System.out.print( "Enter second integer: " ); // prompt 21 number2 = input.nextInt(); // read second number from user 23 sum = number1 + number2; // add numbers

31. 31 2.5 Another Java Application: Adding Integers (Cont.) –Use System.out.printf to display results –Format specifier %d Placeholder for an int value –Calculations can also be performed inside printf –Parentheses around the expression number1 + number2 are not required 25 System.out.printf( "Sum is %d\n: ", sum ); // display sum System.out.printf( "Sum is %d\n: ", ( number1 + number2 ) );

32. 32 2.6 Memory Concepts Variables –Every variable has a name, a type, a size and a value Name corresponds to location in memory –When new value is placed into a variable, replaces (and destroys) previous value –Reading variables from memory does not change them

33. 33 2.7 Arithmetic Arithmetic calculations used in most programs –Usage * for multiplication / for division % for remainder +, - –Integer division truncates remainder 7 / 5 evaluates to 1 –Remainder operator % returns the remainder 7 % 5 evaluates to 2

34. 34 Fig. 2.11 | Arithmetic operators.

35. 35 2.7 Arithmetic (Cont.) Operator precedence –Some arithmetic operators act before others (i.e., multiplication before addition) Use parenthesis when needed –Example: Find the average of three variables a, b and c Do not use: a + b + c / 3 Use: ( a + b + c ) / 3

36. 36 Fig. 2.12 | Precedence of arithmetic operators.
