20Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e class JButton Provided to create buttons in Java To create button –Same technique as creating JLabel and JTextField
21
21Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e class Jbutton (continued)
22
22Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Handling an Event Action event: event created when JButton is clicked Event listener: object that receives message when JButton is clicked In Java, you must register the listener
23
23Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Handling an Event (continued) class ActionListener –Handles action event –Part of package java.awt.Event –The class ActionListener is a special type of class (interface) –Must contain actionPerformed method
24
24Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Rectangle Program: Sample Run
25
25Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Programming Example: Temperature Conversion Input: temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius Output: temperature in Celsius if input is Fahrenheit; temperature in Fahrenheit if input is Celsius
26
26Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Programming Example: Temperature Conversion (continued) Solution –Create the appropriate JLabels, JTextFields, JButtons –Add them to the created content pane –Calculate the appropriate conversions when the buttons are clicked and an event is triggered
27
27Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Sample Run for TempConversion
28
28Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Object-Oriented Design Simplified methodology 1. Write down detailed description of problem 2. Identify all (relevant) nouns and verbs 3. From list of nouns, select objects 4. Identify data components of each object 5. From list of verbs, select operations
29
29Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Object-Oriented Design Example 1 Problem Statement –Write a program to input the length and width of a rectangle, and calculate and print the perimeter and area of the rectangle Nouns –Length, width, rectangle, perimeter, area
30
30Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e class Rectangle with Data Members and Operations
31
31Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Object-Oriented Design Example 2 An inoperable candy machine has a cash register and four dispensers to hold and release items sold by the machine The machine sells: candies, chips, gum, and cookies Write a program for this candy machine so that it can be put into operation
32
32Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Object-Oriented Design Example 2 (continued) The program should do the following: –Show the customer the different products sold by the candy machine –Let the customer make the selection –Show the customer the cost of the item selected –Accept money from the customer –Return change –Release the item; that is, make the sale
33
33Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Object-Oriented Design Example 2 (continued)
34
34Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Object-Oriented Design Example 2 (continued)
35
35Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e Implementing Classes and Operations Algorithms are used to implement operations Construct and implement your own methods classes Integer, Double, Character, Long, Float –Known as wrapper classes –Provided so that values of primitive data types can be treated as objects –Have limitations (cannot change value stored in objects)
36
36Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e The class Integer
37
37Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e The class Integer (continued)
38
38Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e The class Integer (continued)
39
39Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e The class Integer (continued) Integer num; num = new Integer(86)
40
40Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e The class Integer (continued) int x; Integer num; num = 25; For the most part, this statement is similar to the statement: num = new Integer(25); The expression: num = 25; is referred to as autoboxing of the int type
41
41Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e The class Integer (continued) int x; Integer num; The statement: x = num; This statement is equivalent to the statement: x = num.intValue(); This statement is referred to as auto unboxing of the int type
42
42Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 3e The class Integer (continued) To compare the values of two Integer objects, you can use the method compareTo If you want to compare the values of two Integer objects only for equality, then you can use the method equals
