Java™ (OOP) - Chapter 1: "Introduction to Computers, Programs, and Java"
- 1. Chapter 1 Introduction to Computers, Programs, and Java 1 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 2. Objectives To review computer basics, programs, and operating systems (§§1.2-1.4). To explore the relationship between Java and the World Wide Web (§1.5). To distinguish the terms API, IDE, and JDK (§1.6). To write a simple Java program (§1.7). To display output on the console (§1.7). To explain the basic syntax of a Java program (§1.7). To create, compile, and run Java programs (§1.8). (GUI) To display output using the JOptionPane output dialog boxes (§1.9). 2 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 3. What is a Computer? A computer consists of a CPU, memory, hard disk, floppy disk, monitor, printer, and communication devices. Bus Storage Devices e.g., Disk, CD, and Tape CPU Communication Devices Input Devices Output Devices e.g., Modem, and NIC Memory e.g., Keyboard, Mouse e.g., Monitor, Printer 3 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 4. CPU The central processing unit (CPU) is the brain of a computer. It retrieves instructions from memory and executes them. The CPU speed is measured in megahertz (MHz), with 1 megahertz equaling 1 million pulses per second. The speed of the CPU has been improved continuously. If you buy a PC now, you can get an Intel Pentium 4 Processor at 3 gigahertz (1 gigahertz is 1000 megahertz). Bus Storage Devices e.g., Disk, CD, and Tape CPU Communication Devices Input Devices Output Devices e.g., Modem, and NIC Memory e.g., Keyboard, Mouse e.g., Monitor, Printer 4 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 5. Memory Memory is to store data and program instructions for CPU to execute. A memory unit is an ordered sequence of bytes, each holds eight bits. A program and its data must be brought to memory before they can be executed. A memory byte is never empty, but its initial content may be meaningless to your program. The current content of a memory byte is lost whenever new information is placed in it. Bus Storage Devices e.g., Disk, CD, and Tape CPU Communication Devices Input Devices Output Devices e.g., Modem, and NIC Memory e.g., Keyboard, Mouse e.g., Monitor, Printer 5 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 6. How Data is Stored? Data of various kinds, such as numbers, characters, and strings, are encoded as a series of bits (zeros and ones). Computers use zeros and ones because digital devices have two stable states, which are referred to as zero and one by convention. The programmers need not to be concerned about the encoding and decoding of data, which is performed automatically by the system based on the encoding scheme. The encoding scheme varies. For example, character ‘J’ is represented by 01001010 in one byte. A small number such as three can be stored in a single byte. If computer needs to store a large number that cannot fit into a single byte, it uses a number of adjacent bytes. No two data can share or split a same byte. A byte is the minimum storage unit. Memory address Memory content . . . . . . 2000 01001010 Encoding for character ‘J’ 2001 01100001 Encoding for character ‘a’ 2002 01110110 Encoding for character ‘v’ 2003 01100001 Encoding for character ‘a’ 2004 00000011 Encoding for number 3 6 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 7. Storage Devices Memory is volatile, because information is lost when the power is off. Programs and data are permanently stored on storage devices and are moved to memory when the computer actually uses them. There are three main types of storage devices:Disk drives (hard disks and floppy disks), CD drives (CD-R and CD-RW), and Tape drives. Bus Storage Devices Memory e.g., Disk, CD, and Tape CPU Communication Devices Input Devices Output Devices e.g., Modem, and NIC e.g., Keyboard, Mouse e.g., Monitor, Printer 7 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 8. Output Devices: Monitor The monitor displays information (text and graphics). The resolution and dot pitch determine the quality of the display. Bus Storage Devices e.g., Disk, CD, and Tape CPU Input Devices Output Devices e.g., Modem, and NIC Memory Communication Devices e.g., Keyboard, Mouse e.g., Monitor, Printer 8 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 9. Monitor Resolution and Dot Pitch resolution The resolution specifies the number of pixels per square inch. Pixels (short for “picture elements”) are tiny dots that form an image on the screen. The resolution can be set manually. The higher the resolution, the sharper and clearer the image is. However, the image may be very small if you set high resolution on a small screen monitor. PC monitors are usually 15-inch, 17-inch, 19-inch, or 21inch. For a 15-inch monitor, a comfortable resolution setting would be 640×480 (307,200 pixels). dot pitch The dot pitch is the amount of space between pixels. The smaller the dot pitch, the better the display. 9 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 10. Communication Devices A regular modem uses a phone line and can transfer data in a speed up to 56,000 bps (bits per second). A DSL (digital subscriber line) also uses a phone line and can transfer data in a speed 20 times faster than a regular modem. A cable modem uses the TV cable line maintained by the cable company. A cable modem is as fast as a DSL. Network interface card (NIC) is a device to connect a computer to a local area network (LAN). The LAN is commonly used in business, universities, and government organizations. A typical type of NIC, called 10BaseT, can transfer data at 10 mbps (million bits per second). Bus Storage Devices Memory e.g., Disk, CD, and Tape CPU Communication Devices Input Devices Output Devices e.g., Modem, and NIC e.g., Keyboard, Mouse e.g., Monitor, Printer 10 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 11. Programs Computer programs, known as software, are instructions to the computer. You tell a computer what to do through programs. Without programs, a computer is an empty machine. Computers do not understand human languages, so you need to use computer languages to communicate with them. Programs are written using programming languages. 11 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 12. Programming Languages Machine Language Assembly Language High-Level Language Machine language is a set of primitive instructions built into every computer. The instructions are in the form of binary code, so you have to enter binary codes for various instructions. Program with native machine language is a tedious process. Moreover the programs are highly difficult to read and modify. For example, to add two numbers, you might write an instruction in binary like this: 1101101010011010 12 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 13. Programming Languages Machine Language Assembly Language High-Level Language Assembly languages were developed to make programming easy. Since the computer cannot understand assembly language, however, a program called assembler is used to convert assembly language programs into machine code. For example, to add two numbers, you might write an instruction in assembly code like this: ADDF3 R1, R2, R3 Assembly Source File … ADDF3 R1, R2, R3 … Machine Code File Assembler … 1101101010011010 … 13 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 14. Programming Languages Machine Language Assembly Language High-Level Language The high-level languages are English-like and easy to learn and program. For example, the following is a high-level language statement that computes the area of a circle with radius 5: area = 5 * 5 * 3.1415; 14 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 15. Popular High-Level Languages COBOL (COmmon Business Oriented Language) FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslation) BASIC (Beginner All-purpose Symbolic Instructional Code) Pascal (named for Blaise Pascal) Ada (named for Ada Lovelace) C (whose developer designed B first) Visual Basic (Basic-like visual language developed by Microsoft) Delphi (Pascal-like visual language developed by Borland) C++ (an object-oriented language, based on C) C# (a Java-like language developed by Microsoft) Java (We use it in the book) 15 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 16. Compiling Source Code A program written in a high-level language is called a source program. Since a computer cannot understand a source program. Program called a compiler is used to translate the source program into a machine language program called an object program. The object program is often then linked with other supporting library code before the object can be executed on the machine. Source File Compiler Machine-language File Executable File Linker Library Code 16 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 17. Operating Systems The operating system (OS) is a program that manages and controls a computer’s activities. You are probably using Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP, or ME. Windows is currently the most popular PC operating system. Application programs such as an Internet browser and a word processor cannot run without an operating system. User Application Programs Operating System Hardware 17 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 18. Why Java? The answer is that Java enables users to develop and deploy applications on the Internet for servers, desktop computers, and small hand-held devices. The future of computing is being profoundly influenced by the Internet, and Java promises to remain a big part of that future. Java is the Internet programming language. Java is a general purpose programming language. Java is the Internet programming language. 18 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Although many object-oriented languages began strictly as procedural languages, Java was designed from the start to be object-oriented. Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a popular programming approach that is replacing traditional procedural programming techniques. One of the central issues in software development is how to reuse code. Objectoriented programming provides great flexibility, modularity, clarity, and reusability through encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. 25 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

The source program must be recompiled, however, because the object program can only run on a specific machine. Nowadays computers are networked to work together. Java was designed to run object programs on any platform. With Java, you write the program once, and compile the source program into a special type of object code, known as bytecode. The bytecode can then run on any computer with a Java Virtual Machine, as shown below. Java Virtual Machine is a software that interprets Java bytecode.

- 53. Comments Three types of comments in Java. Line comment: A line comment is preceded by two slashes (//) in a line. Paragraph comment: A paragraph comment is enclosed between /* and */ in one or multiple lines. javadoc comment: javadoc comments begin with /** and end with */. They are used for documenting classes, data, and methods. They can be extracted into an HTML file using JDK's javadoc command. 53 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 54. Reserved Words Reserved words or keywords are words that have a specific meaning to the compiler and cannot be used for other purposes in the program. For example, when the compiler sees the word class, it understands that the word after class is the name for the class. Other reserved words in Listing 1.1 are public, static, and void. Their use will be introduced later in the book. 54 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 55. Modifiers Java uses certain reserved words called modifiers that specify the properties of the data, methods, and classes and how they can be used. Examples of modifiers are public and static. Other modifiers are private, final, abstract, and protected. A public datum, method, or class can be accessed by other programs. A private datum or method cannot be accessed by other programs. Modifiers are discussed in Chapter 6, “Objects and Classes.” 55 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 56. Statements A statement represents an action or a sequence of actions. The statement System.out.println("Welcome to Java!") in the program in Listing 1.1 is a statement to display the greeting "Welcome to Java!" Every statement in Java ends with a semicolon (;). 56 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 57. Blocks A pair of braces in a program forms a block that groups components of a program. public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } } Class block Method block 57 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

- 58. Classes The class is the essential Java construct. A class is a template or blueprint for objects. To program in Java, you must understand classes and be able to write and use them. The mystery of the class will continue to be unveiled throughout this book. For now, though, understand that a program is defined by using one or more classes. 58 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

- 59. Methods What is System.out.println? It is a method: a collection of statements that performs a sequence of operations to display a message on the console. It can be used even without fully understanding the details of how it works. It is used by invoking a statement with a string argument. The string argument is enclosed within parentheses. In this case, the argument is "Welcome to Java!" You can call the same println method with a different argument to print a different message. 59 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 60. main Method The main method provides the control of program flow. The Java interpreter executes the application by invoking the main method. The main method looks like this: public static void main(String[] args) { // Statements; } 60 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

- 61. Displaying Text in a Message Dialog Box you can use the showMessageDialog method in the JOptionPane class. JOptionPane is one of the many predefined classes in the Java system, which can be reused rather than “reinventing the wheel.” WelcomeInMessageDialogBox Run IMPORTANT NOTE: To enable the buttons, you must download the entire slide file slide.zip and unzip the files into a directory (e.g., c:slide) . 61 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

- 62. The showMessageDialog Method JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to Java!", "Display Message", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE); 62 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807
- 63. Two Ways to Invoke the Method There are several ways to use the showMessageDialog method. For the time being, all you need to know are two ways to invoke it. One is to use a statement as shown in the example: JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, x, y, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE); where x is a string for the text to be displayed, and y is a string for the title of the message dialog box. The other is to use a statement like this: JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, x); where x is a string for the text to be displayed. 63 Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
