Hello.java,
syntax error: A problem in the structure of a program.
1 public class Hello {
2
pooblic static void main(String[] args) {
3
System.owt.println("Hello, world!")


Error messages do not always help us
understand what is wrong:
File: Hello.java [line: 2]
Error: Hello.java:2: <identifier> expected
pooblic static void main(String[] args) {

Why can’t the computer just say “You
misspelled ‘public’”?


First lesson



Computers can’t read minds.
Computers don’t make mistakes.
If the computer is not doing what you want, it’s because
YOU made a mistake.
4/13/2015
11

Java is case-sensitive

Public and public are not the same
1 Public class Hello {
2 public static void main(String[] args) {
3 System.out.println("Hello, world!");
4 }
5}
1 error found:
compiler output:
File: Hello.java [line: 1]
Error: Hello.java:1: class, interface, or enum expected


System.out.println: A statement to print a line of output.


pronounced “print-linn”
The use of System.out.println (P93) :
System.out.println("<message>");
 Prints the given message as a line of text.
System.out.println(<number>);
 Prints the given number as a line of text.
4/13/2015
13
System.out.println(<output1> + <output2>+… +<output_Last>);
 Performs a output string concatenation and prints all as a line of
text.
System.out.println();
 Prints a blank line.
4/13/2015
14

String: A sequence of text characters, also
called message.


Start and end with quotation mark characters
Examples:
"hello"
"This is a string"
"This, too, is a string. It can be very long!"
4/13/2015
15

A string may not span across multiple lines.
"This is not
a legal string."

A string may not contain a “ character.

The ‘ character is okay.
"This is not a "legal" string either."
"This is 'okay' though."

This begs the question…
4/13/2015
16

A string can represent certain special characters by
preceding them with a backslash \ (this is called an
escape sequence, p89).





\t
\n
\"
\\
tab character
newline character
quotation mark character
backslash character
Example:
System.out.println("Hello!\nHow are \"you\"?");
4/13/2015
17

What is the output of each of the following println
statements?
System.out.println("\ta\tb\tc");
System.out.println("\\\\");
System.out.println("'");
System.out.println("\"\"\"");
System.out.println("C:\nin\the downward spiral");

Write a println statement to produce the following line of
output (space counted):
/ \ // \\ /// \\\
4/13/2015
18

What a println statement will generate the following output (one statement
only)?
This program prints a
quote from the Gettysburg Address.
"Four score and seven years ago,
our 'fore fathers' brought forth on this continent
a new nation."

What a println statement will generate the following output?
A "quoted" String is
'much' better if you learn
the rules of "escape sequences."
Also, "" represents an empty String.
Don't forget to use \" instead of " !
'' is not the same as "


comment: A note written in the source code to make the code easier
to understand (p104).




Comments are not executed when your program runs.
Most Java editors show your comments with a special color.
Comment, general syntax:
/* <comment text; may span multiple lines> */
or,
// <comment text, on one line>
Examples:
/* A comment goes here. */
/* It can even span
multiple lines. */
// This is a one-line comment.


… at the top of each file (also called a "comment header"), naming
the author and explaining what the program does.

… at the start of every method, describing its behavior or function.

… inside methods, to explain the complex pieces of code.
4/13/2015
21




Comments provide important documentation.
Comments provide a simple description of what each class, method,
etc. is doing.
Later programs will span hundreds or thousands of lines, split into
many classes and methods.
When multiple programmers work together, comments help one
programmer understand the other's code.

Variable


A piece of your computer's memory that is given
a name and type and can store a value.
Usage



4/13/2015
compute an expression's result
store that result into a variable
use that variable later in the program
24

To use a variable, it must be declared.

Variable declaration syntax (P51):
<type> <name>;

Convention: Variable identifiers follow the same rules as
method names.

Examples:
int x;
double myGPA;
int varName;
4/13/2015
25

Declaring a variable sets aside a piece of
memory in which you can store a value.
int x;
int y;
 Inside the computer:
x: ?
y: ?
(The memory still has no value yet.)
4/13/2015
26

identifier: A name given to an entity in a program such as a class or
method.
 Identifiers allow us to refer to the entities.

Examples (in bold):
 public class Hello
 public static void main
 double salary

Conventions for naming in Java (which we will follow):
 classes: capitalize each word (ClassName)
 everything else: capitalize each word after the first (myLastName)

Data types
data type: A category of data values.


Example: integer, real number, string
Data types are divided into two classes:



primitive types: Java's built-in simple data types
for numbers, text characters, and logic.
class types: type of objects, coming soon!
4/13/2015
31

Java has eight primitive types. Here are two examples:
Name Description
int
integers
double
real numbers
Examples
42, -3, 0, 926394
3.4, -2.53, 91.4e3

Numbers with a decimal point are treated as real numbers.

Question: Isn’t every integer a real number? Why bother?

Arithmetic (Use of variables)

37

Assignment statement: A Java statement that stores a value into a
variable.



Variables must be declared before they can be assigned a value.
Assignment statement syntax:
<variable> = <expression>;
Examples:
x = 2 * 4;
x: 8
myGPA = 3.25;
4/13/2015
myGPA: 3.25
38

A variable can be assigned a value more than once.

Example:
int x;
x = 3;
System.out.println(x);
// 3
x = 4 + 7;
System.out.println(x);
// 11
4/13/2015
39

Once a variable is assigned a value, it can be used in any expression.
int x;
x = 2 * 4;
y = x +3;
System.out.println(x * 5 - 1);


The above has output equivalent to:
System.out.println(8 * 5 - 1);
What happens when a variable is used on both sides of an assignment
statement ?
int x;
x = 3;
x = x + 2; // what happens?
4/13/2015
40

ERROR: Declaring two variables with the same name

Example:
int x;
int x;

// ERROR: x already exists
ERROR: Reading a variable’s value before it has been
assigned

Example:
int x;
System.out.println(x); // ERROR: x has no value
4/13/2015
41

The assignment statement is not an algebraic equation!

<variable> = <expression>; means:


Some people read x = 3 * 4; as


"store the value of <expression> into <variable>"
"x gets the value of 3 * 4"
ERROR: 3 = 1 + 2; is an illegal statement, because 3
is not a variable.
4/13/2015
42


A variable can only store a value of its own type.
 Example:
int x;
x = 2.5;
// ERROR: x can only store int
An int value can be stored in a double variable. Why?
 Type compatibility: The value is converted into the equivalent
real number (p64).
 Example:
double myGPA;
myGPA: 2.0
myGPA = 2;

Manipulating data via expressions

Expression: A data value or a set of operations that
produces a value.

Examples:
1+4*3
3
"CSE142"
(1 + 2) % 3 * 4
4/13/2015
45

Arithmetic operators we will use:





+
*
/
%
4/13/2015
addition
subtraction or negation
multiplication
division
modulus, a.k.a. remainder
46

When Java executes a program and encounters an
expression, the expression is evaluated (i.e., computed).


Example:
3 * 4 evaluates to 12
System.out.println(3 * 4) prints 12 (after evaluating 3 * 4)

How could we print the text 3 * 4?
4/13/2015
47

When dividing integers, the result is also an integer: the quotient.

Example: 14 / 4 evaluates to 3, not 3.5 (truncate the decimal part)

Examples:





1425 / 27 is 52
35 / 5 is 7
84 / 10 is 8
156 / 100 is 1
24 / 0 is illegal (what do you think happens?)
4/13/2015
48

The modulus computes the remainder from a division of
integers.

Example: 14 % 4 is 2
1425 % 27 is 21


What expression obtains (ChangeMaker.java, P77)




the last digit (unit’s place) of a number?
 Example: From 230857, obtain the 7.
the last 4 digits of a Social Security Number?
 Example: From 658236489, obtain 6489.
the second-to-last digit (ten’s place) of a number?
 Example: From 7342, obtain the 4.
the part of a number rounded off to the nearest hundredth?
 Example: From 73.424, obtain the 73.42.
From 73.425, obtain the 73.42.
the part of a number rounded up to the nearest hundredth?
 Example: From 73.424, obtain the 73.42.
4/13/2015
50
From 73.425, obtain the 73.43.


Precedence: Order in which operations are computed in an
expression.
 Operators on the same level are evaluated from left to right.
Example:
1 - 2 + 3 is 2 (not -4)

Spacing does not affect order of evaluation.
Example:
1+3 * 4-2 is 11

When an operator is used on
an integer and a real number,
the result is a real number
(Type compatibility, p64).

String concatenation: Using the + operator between a string
and another value to make a longer string.
Examples:
"hello" + 42 is
1 + "abc" + 2is
"abc" + 1 + 2is
1 + 2 + "abc"is
"abc" + 9 * 3is
"1" + 1is "11"
4 - 1 + "abc"is
"hello42"
"1abc2"
"abc12"
"3abc"
"abc27" (what happened here?)
"3abc"
"abc" + 4 - 1causes a compiler error. Why?
4/13/2015
54
Write a program to print out the following output.
Use math expressions to calculate the last two numbers.

55

The computer internally represents real
numbers in an imprecise way.

Example:
System.out.println(0.1 + 0.2);
 The output is 0.30000000000000004!
4/13/2015
56



ints are stored in 4 bytes (32 bits)
In 32 bits, we can store at most 232 different
numbers
What happens if we take the largest of these,
and add 1 to it?
4/13/2015
57




ERROR!
This is known as overflow: trying to store
something that does not fit into the bits reserved
for a data type.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_overflow
Overflow errors are NOT automatically detected!


It’s the programmer’s responsibility to prevent these.
The actual result in this case is a negative number.
4/13/2015
58
int n = 2000000000;
System.out.println(n * n);
// output: -1651507200
4/13/2015
59

the result of n*n is 4,000,000,000,000,000,000 which needs 64-bits:
---------- high-order bytes ------00110111 10000010 11011010 11001110
---------- low order bytes -------10011101 10010000 00000000 00000000


In the case of overflow, Java discards the high-order bytes, retaining
only the low-order ones
In this case, the low order bytes represent 1651507200, and since the
right most bit is a 1 the sign value is negative.
4/13/2015
60





What happens if we create a double value of 1, and then
keep dividing it by 10?
Answer: eventually, it becomes 0.
This is known as underflow: a condition where a
calculated value is smaller than what can be represented
using the number of bytes assigned to its type
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_underflow
Again, Java does not detect this error; it’s up to the
programmer to handle it.

Equivalent longer version
<variable> = <variable> + 1;
<variable> = <variable> - 1;
// x = x + 1;
// x now stores 3
double gpa = 2.5;

// gpa = gpa + 1;
// gpa now stores 3.5



after executing
int m = 4;
int result = 3 * (++m)
result has a value of 15 and m has a value of 5
after executing



A variable can be declared and assigned
an initial value in the same statement.
Declaration/initialization statement syntax:
<type> <name> = <expression>;

Examples:
double myGPA = 3.95;
int x = (11 % 3) + 12;
4/13/2015
66

It is legal to declare multiple variables on one line:
<type> <name>, <name>, ..., <name>;

Examples:
int a, b, c;
double x, y;

It is also legal to declare/initialize several at once:
<type> <name> = <expression> , ..., <name> =
<expression>;

Examples:
int a = 2, b = 3, c = -4;
double grade = 3.5, delta = 0.1;

NB: The variables must be of the same type.


Once the value of a constant is set (or
changed by an editor), it can be used (or
reflected) throughout the program.
public static final double INTEREST_RATE =
6.65;

If a literal (such as 6.65) is used instead,
every occurrence must be changed, with the
risk than another literal with the same value
might be changed unintentionally.

Syntax
public static final
Variable_Type <name> = <Constant>;
Examples
public static final double
PI = 3.14159;
public static final String MOTTO =
"The customer is always right.";
By convention, uppercase letters are used for
constants.

String

text processing: Two data types involved
char
String
Represents individual characters
Represents sequences of characters
Primitive type
Object type (i.e., not primitive)
Written with single quotes
Written with double quotes
e.g.:
‘T’
‘t’
‘3’
‘%’
‘\n’
e.g.:
“We the people”
“1. Twas brillig, and the slithy toves\n”
“”
“T”

char: A primitive type representing single characters. P52.
Individual characters inside a String are stored as char
values.
Literal char values are surrounded with apostrophe
(single-quote) marks, such as 'a' or '4' or '\n' or
'\''
Example, p67.
char letter = 'S';
System.out.println(letter);
System.out.println((int)letter);
4/13/2015
// prints S
// prints 83,
// explained on p932




Most programming languages use the ASCII
character set.
Java uses the Unicode character set which
includes the ASCII character set.
The Unicode character set includes characters
from many different alphabets (but you
probably won't use them).


String: an object type for representing sequences
of characters




Sequence can be of length 0, 1, or longer
Each element of the sequence is a char
We write strings surrounded in double-quotes
We can declare, initialize, assign, and use String variables
in expressions just like other data types
String s = “Hello, world\n”;
System.out.println(s);
s = s + “I am your master\n”;

declare, init
use value
concatenate
and assign

Unlike primitive types, String can have methods, P86.
Here is a list of methods for strings:
Method name
Description
charAt(index)
returns the character at the given index
indexOf(str)
returns the index where the start of the given string appears in this
string (-1 if not found)
length()
returns the number of characters in this string
substring(index1,index2)
returns the characters in this string from index1 up to, but not
including, index2
toLowerCase()
returns a new string with all lowercase letters
toUpperCase()
returns a new string with all uppercase letters

Let s be a variable of type String
General syntax for calling a String method:
s.<method>(<args>)

Some examples:
String s = “Cola”;
int len = s.length();
// len == 4
char firstLetter = s.charAt(0); // ‘C’
int index = s.indexOf(“ol”); // index == 1
String sub = s.substring(1,3); // “ol”
String up = s.toUpperCase(); // “COLA”
String down = s.toLowerCase(); // “cola”
