Java
• Released in 1995 by Sun Microsystems
• Key characteristics:
– Object Oriented language
– Suitable for web and network programming
– Portable
• Java programs are platform independent
NetBeans IDE
• You can download it, together with JDK,
from:
– http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javas
e/downloads/jdk-netbeans-jsp-142931.html
• Quick Start:
– Create a new project
– Basic Java program structure
– The popular “Hello World” !
Project Management
• We use DrProject
– https://stanley.cdf.toronto.edu/drproject/csc207-2011-05
– Wiki pages
– Code Repository
– Project Ticketing
– Mailing List !
Code Repository
• Checking out from the repository
– Directly to the NetBeans
Team > Subversion > Checkout
– You can check out all of the lecture codes from:

Practice Code 1
Write a program which takes two numbers
from the input and prints the result of their
basic numerical calculations
(addition, subtraction, division, reminder)
Improve the output formatting:
\b
\t
\n
\r
\"
\'
\\
backspace
tab
newline
carriage return
double quote
single quote
backslash
Primitive Data Types
• Java is a strictly-typed language
– All variables must first be declared before they can be used
• int x; // variable declaration
• x = 1; // variable assignment
• int y = 2; // variable declaration and assignment

control characters
• boolean
– True / False
– Boolean b = true;

– String name = “Hesam”;
– String fullName;
– fullName = name + “Esfahani”;

Methods
• Contains program statements
– Logically cohesive
• Program is composed of classes
• Each class contains
– Methods
– Attributes
Comments
• Java Comments are in three forms:
// this comment runs to the end of the line
/*
this comment runs to the terminating
symbol, even across line breaks
/** this is a javadoc comment
*/
*/
Control Structures
• Conditional Statements
– If - else
– Switch
• Comparison
–
–
–

–
Equals
Not Equal
Greater
Greater or Equal
Less than
Less than or equal
==
!=
>
>=
<
<=
• Logic Operations
– Logical AND
– Logical OR
&&
II
Practice Code cntd. :
Get the operator from
the input, as well.
Practice Code cntd.:
say if the two number
are equal, or the
greater one
Control Structures
• Iteration
– While
– For
– Do - while
Practice Code cntd :
print “a” n times, where
n is the result of
operation
