4. Temperature Conversion An online friend lives in Calgary. She always tells me the temperature up there in degrees Celsius. I wrote a program to convert the temperature to Fahrenheit. Imagine! Java: Programming Concepts in Context by Frank M. Carrano, (c) Pearson Education - Prentice Hall, 2010

5. import java.util.Scanner; public class CtoF { /* This program converts Celsius to Fahrenheit. */ public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print (" Enter Degrees Celcius:“); double cel = scan.nextDouble( ); double fahr = 1.8 * cel + 32.0; System.out.println(fahr + " degrees Fahrenheit"); }//end main method }//end CtoF class

6. Identifiers Examples: public, main, CtoF, cel Names of things within the program  Made up of letters, digits, underscore, and $  Must not start with a digit  Case sensitive Categories  Names you invent  Names chosen by another programmer  Identifiers part of the Java language Imagine!

8. Conventions Class names begin with upper case Method names and begin with lower case Braces  eclipse puts open brace on the line with the heading  Line up indentation of the closing brace with whatever it is ending.  End brace commented(optional) Lines within braces indented Skip lines for readability (white space) Imagine!

9. Primitive Types Data and objects have types. Data that is a primitive type has a single simple value. 1, 6.7, -1000000 Are not objects Imagine! Java: Programming Concepts in Context by Frank M. Carrano, (c) Pearson Education - Prentice Hall, 2010

10. Numeric Types int integer, positive/negative counting numbers. 1, -10, 0, 20000 double Numbers with a decimal part 1.5, -9.0, 3.14159, 0.0 Imagine! Java: Programming Concepts in Context by Frank M. Carrano, (c) Pearson Education - Prentice Hall, 2010

11. Reference Types Can contain multiple pieces of data May also have methods that operate on those values Example – String, Scanner “Hello” Contains 5 characters Name of the class is the data type  Called a “class type” or “reference type” Imagine!

12. Variables Used to store a piece of data Stores it at a certain memory location Identifier used to name variable Should begin with lower case letter Subsequent words use upper case Should be meaningful Example: salesTaxRate Imagine!
