5. 5
Your first Java program!
public class Hello {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
}
}
 What does this code output (print to the user) when you
run (execute) it?

6. 6
Compiling a program
Before you run a program, you must compile it.
compiler: Translates a computer program
written in one language (i.e., Java) to another
language (i.e., byte code)
Compile (javac) Execute (java)
output
source code
(Hello.java)
byte code
(Hello.class)

7. The Java Virtual Machine
(JVM, or VM)
The Java Virtual Machine executes byte code
 Use the “java” command to execute it
 It only understands byte code (“.class” files)
The VM makes Java a bit different from older
programming languages (C, C++)
 It’s an extra step; compilers for other languages
directly produce machine code
 It’s slower
 But it allows the same byte code to run on any
machine with a VM

8. 8
Program execution
 The output is printed to the console.
 Some editors pop up the console as another window.

9. 9
Another Java program
public class Hello2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
System.out.println();
System.out.println("This program produces");
System.out.println("four lines of output");
}
}

10. 10
Syntax
 syntax: The set of legal structures and commands that
can be used.
 Examples:
 Every basic statement ends with a semi-colon.
 The contents of a class occur between curly braces.

11. 11
Syntax Errors
 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!")
4 }
5 }
2 errors found:
File: Hello.java [line: 2]
Error: Hello.java:2: <identifier> expected
File: Hello.java [line: 3]
Error: Hello.java:3: ';' expected
compiler output:

12. 12
More on syntax errors
 Java is case-sensitive
 Hello and hello 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:
File: Hello.java [line: 1]
Error: Hello.java:1: class, interface, or enum
expected
compiler output:

13. 13
System.out.println
System.out.println: A statement to print a line
of output to the console.
 pronounced “print-linn”
Two ways to use System.out.println:
System.out.println("<message>");
 Prints the given message as a line of text to the console.
System.out.println();
 Prints a blank line to the console.

14. 14
Primitive data types,
expressions, and
variables

15. 15
Primitive types
 Java has eight primitive types. Here are two examples:
Name Description Examples
int integers 42, -3, 0, 926394
double real numbers 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?

16. 16
Other Primitive Data Types
Discrete Types
byte
short
int
long
Continuous Types
float
double
Non-numeric Types
boolean
char

17. Data Type Representations
Type Representation Bits Bytes #Values
boolean true or false 1 N/A 2
char ‘a’ or ‘7’ or ‘n’ 16 2 216 = 65,536
byte …,-2,-1,0,1,2,… 8 1 28 = 256
short …,-2,-1,0,1,2,… 16 2 216 = 65,536
int …,-2,-1,0,1,2,… 4 > 4.29 million
long …,-2,-1,0,1,2,… 8 > 18 quintillion
float 0.0, 10.5, -100.7 32
double 0.0, 10.5, -100.7 64

18. 18
Precision in real numbers
 The computer internally represents real numbers in an
imprecise way.
 Example:
System.out.println(0.1 + 0.2);
 The output is 0.30000000000000004!

19. 19
Concatenation: Operating on strings
 string concatenation: Using the + operator between a string
and another value to make a longer string.
 Examples:
"hello" + 42 is "hello42"
1 + "abc" + 2 is "1abc2"
"abc" + 1 + 2 is "abc12"
1 + 2 + "abc“ is "3abc"
"abc" + 9 * 3 is "abc27" (what happened here?)
"1" + 1 is "11"
4 - 1 + "abc“ is "3abc"
"abc" + 4 - 1causes a compiler error. Why?

20. Overflow example
int n = 2000000000;
System.out.println(n * n);
// output: -1651507200
 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.

21. 21
Declaring variables
To create a variable, it must be declared.
Variable declaration syntax:
<type> <name>;
Convention: Variable identifiers follow the same
rules as method names.
Examples:
int x;
double myGPA;
int varName;

22. 22
Identifiers: Keywords
 keyword: An identifier that you cannot use, because it already has a
reserved meaning in the Java language.
 Complete list of Java keywords:
abstract default if private this
boolean do implements protected throw
break double import public throws
byte else instanceof return transient
case extends int short try
catch final interface static void
char finally long strictfp volatile
class float native super while
const for new switch
continue goto package synchronized
 NB: Because Java is case-sensitive, you could technically use Class or cLaSs
as identifiers, but this is very confusing and thus strongly discouraged.

23. 23
Increment and decrement
 Incrementing and decrementing 1 is used often enough that they have a
special shortcut operator!
Shorthand Equivalent longer version
<variable>++; <variable> = <variable> + 1;
<variable>--; <variable> = <variable> - 1;
 Examples:
int x = 2;
x++; // x = x + 1;
// x now stores 3
double gpa = 2.5;
gpa++; // gpa = gpa + 1;
// gpa now stores 3.5

24. 24
if/else statements

25. 25
The if statement
 if statement: A control structure that executes a block of
statements only if a certain condition is true.
 General syntax:
if (<test>) {
<statement(s)> ;
}
 Example (with grade inflation):
if (gpa >= 2.0) {
System.out.println("You get an A!");
}

26. 26
if statement flow chart

27. 27
The if/else statement
 if/else statement: A control structure that executes one block of
statements if a certain condition is true, and a second block of
statements if it is false. We refer to each block as a branch.
 General syntax:
if (<test>) {
<statement(s)> ;
} else {
<statement(s)> ;
}
 Example:
if (gpa >= 3.0) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Temple!");
} else {
System.out.println("Try applying to Penn.");
}

28. 28
if/else statement flow chart

29. 29
Chained if/else statements
 Chained if/else statement: A chain of if/else that can select
between many different outcomes based on several tests.
 General syntax:
if (<test>) {
<statement(s)> ;
} else if (<test>) {
<statement(s)> ;
} else {
<statement(s)> ;
}
 Example:
if (number > 0) {
System.out.println("Positive");
} else if (number < 0) {
System.out.println("Negative");
} else {
System.out.println("Zero");
}

30. 30
Chained if/else flow chart
if (<test>) {
<statement(s)>;
} else if (<test>) {

Chained if/else if flow chart
if (<test>) {
<statement(s)>;
} else if (<test>) {
<statement(s)>;
} else if (<test>) {
<statement(s)>;
}

32. 32
Boolean Arithmetic

33. 33
The boolean Type
The boolean type has two possible values:
true and false
boolean variables are declared and initialized
just like other primitive data types:
boolean iAmSoSmrt = false; //just like int i = 2;
boolean minor = (age < 21); //just like int x = y*2;

34. 34
Relational expressions
 Relational expressions have
 numeric arguments and
 boolean values.
 They use one of the following six relational operators:
true
5.0 >= 5.0
greater than or equal to
>=
false
126 <= 100
less than or equal to
<=
true
10 > 5
greater than
>
false
10 < 5
less than
<
true
3.2 != 2.5
does not equal
!=
true
1 + 1 == 2
equals
==

35. 35
Evaluating Relational expressions
 Relational operators have lower precedence than math
operators.
5 * 7 >= 3 + 5 * (7 - 1)
5 * 7 >= 3 + 5 * 6
35 >= 3 + 30
35 >= 33
true
 Relational operators cannot be chained (unlike math
operators)
2 <= x <= 10
true <= 10
error!

36. 36
Logical operators
 Logical operators have
 boolean arguments and
 boolean values
!(7 > 0)
(2 == 3) || (-1 < 5)
(9 != 6) && (2 < 3)
Example
not
or

37. 37
 What is the result of each of the following expressions?
int x = 42;
int y = 17;
int z = 25;
 y < x && y <= z
 x % 2 == y % 2 || x % 2 == z % 2
 x <= y + z && x >= y + z
 !(x < y && x < z)
 (x + y) % 2 == 0 || !((z - y) % 2 == 0)
Answers: true, false, true, true, false
Boolean expressions

38. Class Constants
A class constant is a variable
 whose scope is the entire class, and
 whose value can never change after it has been initialized.
To give it the right scope, simply declare it right inside the class:
public class MyClass {
public static final int myConstant = 4;
}
The final keyword means its value can’t be changed.

39. 39
The for loop

40. 40
Looping via the for loop
 for loop: A block of Java code that executes a group of statements
repeatedly until a given test fails.
 General syntax:
for (<initialization>; <test>; <update>) {
<statement>;
<statement>;
...
<statement>;
}
 Example:
for (int i = 1; i <= 30; i++) {
System.out.println("I will not throw...");
}

41. 41
Control Structure
The for loop is a control structure—a syntactic
structure that controls the execution of other
statements.
Example:
 “Shampoo hair. Rinse. Repeat.”

42. 42
for loop over range of ints
 We'll write for loops over integers in a given range.
 The <initialization> declares a loop counter variable that is used in the test,
update, and body of the loop.
for (int <name> = 1; <name> <= <value>; <name>++) {
 Example:
for (int i = 1; i <= 4; i++) {
System.out.println(i + " squared is " + (i * i));
}
Output:
1 squared is 1
2 squared is 4
3 squared is 9
4 squared is 16

43. 43

for (<init>; <test>; <update>) {
<statement>;

}

44. 44
Loop walkthrough
Code:
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
System.out.println(i + " squared is " + (i * i));
}
Output:
1 squared is 1
2 squared is 4
3 squared is 9
i:

45. 45
Loop example
Code:
System.out.println("+----+");
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
System.out.println(" /");
System.out.println("/ ");
}
System.out.println("+----+");
Output:
+----+
/
/
/
/
/
/
+----+

46. 46
Varying the for loop
 The initial and final values for the loop counter variable can be arbitrary
expressions:
 Example:
for (int i = -3; i <= 2; i++) {
System.out.println(i);
}
Output:
-3
-2
-1
0
1
2
 Example:
for (int i = 1 + 3 * 4; i <= 5248 % 100; i++) {
System.out.println(i + " squared is " + (i * i));
}

47. 47
Varying the for loop
 The update can be a -- (or any other operator).
 Caution: This requires changing the test from <= to >= .
System.out.println("T-minus");
for (int i = 3; i >= 1; i--) {
System.out.println(i);
}
System.out.println("Blastoff!");
Output:
T-minus
3
2
1
Blastoff!

48. 48
Errors in coding
ERROR: Loops that never execute.
for (int i = 10; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.println("How many times do I print?");
}
ERROR: Loop tests that never fail.
 A loop that never terminates is called an infinite loop.
for (int i = 10; i >= 1; i++) {
System.out.println("Runaway Java program!!!");
}

49. 49
Nested for loops
 nested loop: Loops placed inside one another.
 Caution: Make sure the inner loop's counter variable has a different name!
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
System.out.println("i = " + i);
for (int j = 1; j <= 2; j++) {
System.out.println(" j = " + j);
}
}
Output:
i = 1
j = 1
j = 2
i = 2
j = 1
j = 2
i = 3
j = 1
j = 2

50. 50
Nested loops example
Code:
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
for (int j = 1; j <= 10; j++) {
System.out.print((i * j) + " ");
}
System.out.println(); // to end the line
}
Output:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20
3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30

 What nested for loops produce the following output?
....1
...2
..3
.4

 Key idea:
 outer "vertical" loop for each of the lines
 inner "horizontal" loop(s) for the patterns within each line
inner loop (repeated characters on each line)
outer loop (loops 5 times because there are 5 lines)

56. 56
Nested loops
 First, write the outer loop from 1 to the number of lines desired.
for (int line = 1; line <= 5; line++) {
...
}
 Notice that each line has the following pattern:
 some number of dots (0 dots on the last line)
 a number
....1
...2

 ERROR: Using the wrong loop counter variable.
 What is the output of the following piece of code?
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
for (int j = 1; i <= 5; j++) {
System.out.print(j);
}
System.out.println();
}
 What is the output of the following piece of code?
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
for (int j = 1; j <= 5; i++) {
System.out.print(j);
}
System.out.println();
}

59. 59
while loops

60. 60
Definite loops
 definite loop: A loop that executes a known number of
times.
 The for loops we have seen so far are definite loops.
 We often use language like
 "Repeat these statements N times."
 "For each of these 10 things, …"
 Examples:
 Print "hello" 10 times.
 Find all the prime numbers up to an integer n.

61. 61
Indefinite loops
 indefinite loop: A loop where it is not obvious in advance
how many times it will execute.
 We often use language like
 "Keep looping as long as or while this condition is still true."
 "Don't stop repeating until the following happens."
 Examples:
 Print random numbers until a prime number is printed.
 Continue looping while the user has not typed "n" to quit.

62. 62
while loop
 while loop: A control structure that repeatedly performs a test and
executes a group of statements if the test evaluates to true.
 while loop, general syntax:
while (<test>) {
<statement(s)>;
}
 Example:
int number = 1;
while (number <= 200) {
System.out.print(number + " ");
number *= 2;
}
Output:
1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128

63. 63
while loop flow chart

64. 64
Example
 Finds and prints a number's first factor other than 1:
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Type a number: ");
int number = console.nextInt();
int factor = 2;
while (number % factor != 0) {
factor++;
}
System.out.println("First factor: " + factor);
Sample run:
Type a number: 91
First factor: 7

65. 65
for vs. while
 Any for loop of the following form:
for (<initialization>; <test>; <update>) {
<statement(s)>;
}
is equivalent to a while loop of the following form:
<initialization>;
while (<test>) {
<statement(s)>;
<update>;
}

66. 66
for vs. while: Example
 What while loop is equivalent to the following for loop?
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
System.out.println(i + " squared = " + (i * i));
}
Solution:
int i = 1;
while (i <= 10) {
System.out.println(i + " squared = " + (i * i));
i++;
}

67. 67
Exercise: digitSum
 Write a class named DigitSum that reads an integer from
the user and prints the sum of the digits of that number.
You may assume that the number is non-negative.
Example:
Enter a nonnegative number: 29107
prints 2+9+1+0+7 or 19
 Hint: Use the % operator to extract the last digit of a
number. If we do this repeatedly, when should we stop?

68. 68
Solution: digitSum
import java.util.Scanner;
public class DigitSum {
public static void main(String [] args) {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
int n = keyboard.nextInt();
int sum = 0;
while (n > 0) {
sum += n % 10; // add last digit to sum
n = n / 10; // remove last digit
}
System.out.println(“sum = “ + sum);
}
}

The Random class
 Objects of the Random class generate pseudo-random
numbers.
 Class Random is found in the java.util package.
import java.util.*;
 The methods of a Random object

71. 71
Generating random numbers
Random rand = new Random();
int randomNum = rand.nextInt(10);
// randomNum has a random value between 0 and 9
 What if we wanted a number from 1 to 10?
int randomNum = rand.nextInt(10) + 1;
 What if we wanted a number from min to max (i.e. an
arbitrary range)?
int randomNum = rand.nextInt(<size of the range>) +
<min>
where <size of the range> equals (<max> - <min> + 1)

72. 72

Exercise: Die-rolling
 Write a program that simulates the rolling of two six-sided
dice until their combined result comes up as 7.
Sample run:
Roll: 2 + 4 = 6
Roll: 3 + 5 = 8
Roll: 5 + 6 = 11
Roll: 1 + 1 = 2
Roll: 4 + 3 = 7
You won after 5 tries!

75. 75
Solution: Die-rolling
import java.util.*;
public class Roll {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Random rand = new Random();
int sum = 0;
int tries = 0;
while (sum != 7) {
int roll1 = rand.nextInt(6) + 1;
int roll2 = rand.nextInt(6) + 1;
sum = roll1 + roll2;
System.out.println("Roll: " + roll1 + " + " + roll2 + " = " + sum);
tries++;

We have written programs that print console output.
It is also possible to read input from the console.
 The user types the input into the console.
 The program uses the input to do something.
 Such a program is called an interactive program.

Scanner
Constructing a Scanner object to read the console:
Scanner <name> = new Scanner(System.in);
Example:
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);

Scanner methods
Some methods of Scanner:
Each of these methods pauses your program until
the user types input and presses Enter.
 Then the value typed is returned to your program.
reads and returns user input as a double
nextDouble()
reads and returns user input as an int
nextInt()
reads and returns user input as a String
next()

Using a Scanner object
Example:
System.out.print("How old are you? "); // prompt
int age = console.nextInt();
System.out.println("You'll be 40 in " + (40 -
age)
+ " years.");
prompt: A message printed to the user, telling them
what input to type.

81. 81
Input tokens
 token: A unit of user input, as read by the Scanner.
 Tokens are separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs, new lines).
 How many tokens appear on the following line of input?
23 John Smith 42.0 "Hello world"
 When the token doesn't match the type the Scanner tries to read,
the program crashes.
 Example:
System.out.print("What is your age? ");
int age = console.nextInt();
Sample Run:
What is your age? Timmy
InputMismatchException:
at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Unknown Source)
at java.util.Scanner.next(Unknown Source)
at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Unknown Source)

Importing classes
 Java class libraries: A large set of Java classes available
for you to use.
 Classes are grouped into packages.
 To use the classes from a package, you must include an
import declaration at the top of your program.
 Scanner is in a package named java.util
 Import declaration, general syntax:
import <package name>.*;
 To use Scanner, put this at the start of your program:
import java.util.*;

A complete program
import java.util.*; // so that I can use Scanner
public class ReadSomeInput {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("What is your first name? ");
String name = console.next();
System.out.print("And how old are you? ");
int age = console.nextInt();
System.out.println(name + " is " + age + ". That's quite old!");
}
}
Sample Run:
What is your first name? Marty
How old are you? 12
Marty is 12. That's quite old!

Another complete program
import java.util.*; // so that I can use Scanner
public class Average {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Please type three numbers: ");
int num1 = console.nextInt();
int num2 = console.nextInt();
int num3 = console.nextInt();
double average = (num1 + num2 + num3) / 3.0;
System.out.println("The average is " + average);
}
}
Sample Run:
Please type three numbers: 8 6 13
The average is 9.0
 Notice that the Scanner can read multiple values from one line.
