Write Once, Run Anywhere

Java - General
 Java is:
– platform independent programming
language
– similar to C++ in syntax
– similar to Smalltalk in mental paradigm
 Pros: also ubiquitous to net
 Cons: interpreted, and still under
development (moving target)

Java - General
 Java has some interesting features:
– automatic type checking,
– automatic garbage collection,
– simplifies pointers; no directly accessible
pointer to memory,
– simplified network access,
– multi-threading!

How it works…!
 Java is independent only for one reason:
– Only depends on the Java Virtual Machine
(JVM),
– code is compiled to bytecode, which is
interpreted by the resident JVM,
– JIT (just in time) compilers attempt to
increase speed.

Java - Security
 Pointer denial - reduces chances of
virulent programs corrupting host,
 Applets even more restricted -
– May not
• run local executables,
• Read or write to local file system,
• Communicate with any server other than the
originating server.

Object-Oriented
 Java supports OOD
– Polymorphism
– Inheritance
– Encapsulation
 Java programs contain nothing but
definitions and instantiations of classes
– Everything is encapsulated in a class!

Java Advantages
 Portable - Write Once, Run Anywhere
 Security has been well thought through
 Robust memory management
 Designed for network programming
 Multi-threaded (multiple simultaneous tasks)
 Dynamic & extensible (loads of libraries)
– Classes stored in separate files
– Loaded only when needed

Primitive Types and Variables
 boolean, char, byte, short, int, long, float, double etc.
 These basic (or primitive) types are the only types
that are not objects (due to performance issues).
 This means that you don’t use the new operator to
create a primitive variable.
 Declaring primitive variables:
float initVal;
int retVal, index = 2;
double gamma = 1.2, brightness
boolean valueOk = false;

Initialisation
 If no value is assigned prior to use, then the
compiler will give an error
 Java sets primitive variables to zero or false
in the case of a boolean variable
 All object references are initially set to null
 An array of anything is an object
– Set to null on declaration
– Elements to zero false or null on creation

Declarations
int index = 1.2; // compiler error
boolean retOk = 1; // compiler error
double fiveFourths = 5 / 4; // no error!
float ratio = 5.8f; // correct
double fiveFourths = 5.0 / 4.0; // correct
 1.2f is a float value accurate to 7 decimal places.
 1.2 is a double value accurate to 15 decimal places.

Assignment
 All Java assignments are right associative
int a = 1, b = 2, c = 5
a=b=c
System.out.print(
“a= “ + a + “b= “ + b + “c= “ + c)

 What is the value of a, b & c
 Done right to left: a = (b = c);

Basic Mathematical Operators
 * / % + - are the mathematical operators
 * / % have a higher precedence than + or -
double myVal = a + b % d – c * d / b;
 Is the same as:
double myVal = (a + (b % d)) –
((c * d) / b);

Statements & Blocks
 A simple statement is a command terminated by
a semi-colon:
name = “Fred”;
 A block is a compound statement enclosed in
curly brackets:
{
name1 = “Fred”; name2 = “Bill”;
}
 Blocks may contain other blocks

Flow of Control
 Java executes one statement after the other
in the order they are written
 Many Java statements are flow control
statements:
Alternation: if, if else, switch
Looping: for, while, do while
Escapes: break, continue, return

If – The Conditional Statement
 The if statement evaluates an expression and if that
evaluation is true then the specified action is taken
if ( x < 10 ) x = 10;
 If the value of x is less than 10, make x equal to 10
 It could have been written:
if ( x < 10 )
x = 10;
 Or, alternatively:
if ( x < 10 ) { x = 10; }

Relational Operators
== Equal (careful)
!= Not equal
>= Greater than or equal
<= Less than or equal
> Greater than
< Less than

If… else
 The if … else statement evaluates an expression and
performs one action if that evaluation is true or a
different action if it is false.
if (x != oldx) {
System.out.print(“x was changed”);
}
else {
System.out.print(“x is unchanged”);
}

Nested if … else
if ( myVal > 100 ) {
if ( remainderOn == true) {
myVal = mVal % 100;
}
else {
myVal = myVal / 100.0;
}
}
else
{
System.out.print(“myVal is in range”);
}

else if
 Useful for choosing between alternatives:
if ( n == 1 ) {
// execute code block #1
}
else if ( j == 2 ) {
}
else {
// if all previous tests have failed,
execute code block #3
}

A Warning…
WRONG! CORRECT!
if( i == j ) if( i == j ) {
if ( j == k )
if ( j == k )
System.out.print(
System.out.print(
“i equals k”);
“i equals k”);
}
else
else
System.out.print(
“i is not equal
System.out.print(“
to j”);
i is not equal to
j”); // Correct!

The switch Statement
switch ( n ) {
case 1:
break;
case 2:
break;
default:
// if all previous tests fail then
//execute code block #4
break;
}

The for loop
 Loop n times
for ( i = 0; i < n; n++ ) {
// this code body will execute n times
// ifrom 0 to n-1
}
 Nested for:
for ( j = 0; j < 10; j++ ) {
for ( i = 0; i < 20; i++ ){
// this code body will execute 200 times
}
}

while loops
while(response == 1) {
System.out.print( “ID =” +
userID[n]);
n++;
response = readInt( “Enter “);
}
What is the minimum number of times the loop
is executed?
What is the maximum number of times?

do {… } while loops
do {
System.out.print( “ID =” + userID[n] );
n++;
response = readInt( “Enter ” );
}while (response == 1);

What is the minimum number of times the loop
is executed?
What is the maximum number of times?

Break
 A break statement causes an exit from the
innermost containing while, do, for or
switch statement.
for ( int i = 0; i < maxID, i++ ) {
if ( userID[i] == targetID ) {
index = i;
break;
}
} // program jumps here after break

Continue
 Can only be used with while, do or for.
 The continue statement causes the innermost loop to
start the next iteration immediately
for ( int i = 0; i < maxID; i++ ) {
if ( userID[i] != -1 ) continue;
System.out.print( “UserID ” + i + “ :” +
userID);
}

Arrays
 Am array is a list of similar things
 An array has a fixed:
– name
– type
– length
 These must be declared when the array is created.
 Arrays sizes cannot be changed during the execution
of the code

myArray = 3 6 3 1 6 3 4 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

myArray has room for 8 elements
 the elements are accessed by their index
 in Java, array indices start at 0

Declaring Arrays

int myArray[];
declares myArray to be an array of integers
myArray = new int[8];
sets up 8 integer-sized spaces in memory,
labelled myArray[0] to myArray[7]
int myArray[] = new int[8];
combines the two statements in one line

Assigning Values
 refer to the array elements by index to store values in
them.
myArray[0] = 3;
myArray[1] = 6;
myArray[2] = 3; ...
 can create and initialise in one step:
int myArray[] = {3, 6, 3, 1, 6, 3, 4, 1};

Iterating Through Arrays
 for loops are useful when dealing with arrays:

for (int i = 0; i <
myArray.length; i++) {
myArray[i] = getsomevalue();
}

Arrays of Objects
 So far we have looked at an array of primitive types.
– integers
– could also use doubles, floats, characters…
 Often want to have an array of objects
– Students, Books, Loans ……
 Need to follow 3 steps.

Declaring the Array
1. Declare the array
private Student studentList[];
– this declares studentList
2 .Create the array
studentList = new Student[10];
– this sets up 10 spaces in memory that can
hold references to Student objects
3. Create Student objects and add them to the
array: studentList[0] = new
Student("Cathy", "Computing");

Classes ARE Object Definitions
 OOP - object oriented programming
 code built from objects
 Java these are called classes
 Each class definition is coded in a
separate .java file
 Name of the object must match the
class/object name

The three principles of OOP
 Encapsulation
– Objects hide their
functions (methods) and
data (instance
variables)
 Inheritance car Super class
– Each subclass inherits
all variables of its auto-
manual
superclass matic Subclasses
 Polymorphism
– Interface same despite draw()
different data types draw()

Simple Class and Method
Class Fruit{
int grams;
int cals_per_gram;

int total_calories() {
return(grams*cals_per_gram);
}
}

Methods
 A method is a named sequence of code that can be
invoked by other Java code.
 A method takes some parameters, performs some
computations and then optionally returns a value (or
object).
 Methods can be used as part of an expression
statement.

public float convertCelsius(float tempC) {
return( ((tempC * 9.0f) / 5.0f) + 32.0 );
}

Method Signatures
 A method signature specifies:
– The name of the method.
– The type and name of each parameter.
– The type of the value (or object) returned by the method.
– The checked exceptions thrown by the method.
– Various method modifiers.
– modifiers type name ( parameter list ) [throws exceptions ]
public float convertCelsius (float tCelsius ) {}
public boolean setUserInfo ( int i, int j, String name ) throws
IndexOutOfBoundsException {}

Public/private
 Methods/data may be declared public or
private meaning they may or may not be
accessed by code in other classes …
 Good practice:
– keep data private
– keep most methods private
 well-defined interface between classes -
helps to eliminate errors

Using objects
 Here, code in one class creates an instance
of another class and does something with it
…
Fruit plum=new Fruit();
int cals;
cals = plum.total_calories();

 Dot operator allows you to access (public)
data/methods inside Fruit class

Constructors
 The line
plum = new Fruit();
 invokes a constructor method with which you
can set the initial data of an object
 You may choose several different type of
constructor with different argument lists
eg Fruit(), Fruit(a) ...

Overloading
 Can have several versions of a method
in class with different types/numbers of
arguments
Fruit() {grams=50;}
Fruit(a,b) { grams=a; cals_per_gram=b;}

 Bylooking at arguments Java decides
which version to use

Java Development Kit
 javac - The Java Compiler
 java - The Java Interpreter
 jdb - The Java Debugger
 appletviewer -Tool to run the applets

 javap - to print the Java bytecodes
 javaprof - Java profiler
 javadoc - documentation generator
 javah - creates C header files

Streams and I/O
 basic classes for file IO
– FileInputStream, for reading from a file
– FileOutputStream, for writing to a file
 Example:
Open a file "myfile.txt" for reading
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("myfile.txt");

Open a file "outfile.txt" for writing
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream ("myfile.txt");

48

Display File Contents
import java.io.*;
public class FileToOut1 {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
FileInputStream infile = new FileInputStream("testfile.txt");
byte buffer[] = new byte[50];
int nBytesRead;
do {
nBytesRead = infile.read(buffer);
System.out.write(buffer, 0, nBytesRead);
} while (nBytesRead == buffer.length);
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
System.err.println("File not found");
}
catch (IOException e) { System.err.println("Read failed"); }
}
} 49

Filters

•Once a stream (e.g., file) has been opened, we
can attach filters
•Filters make reading/writing more efficient
•Most popular filters:
• For basic types:
•DataInputStream, DataOutputStream
• For objects:
•ObjectInputStream, ObjectOutputStream

50

Writing data to a file using Filters
import java.io.*;
public class GenerateData {
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("stuff.dat");
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(fos);
dos.writeInt(2);
dos.writeDouble(2.7182818284590451);
dos.writeDouble(3.1415926535);
dos.close(); fos.close();
}
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Read or write failed");
}
} 51
}

Reading data from a file using filters
import java.io.*;
public class ReadData {
try {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("stuff.dat");
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(fis);
int n = dis.readInt();
System.out.println(n);
for( int i = 0; i < n; i++ ) { System.out.println(dis.readDouble());
}
dis.close(); fis.close();
}
}
catch (IOException e) { System.err.println("Read or write failed");
}
} 52
}

Object serialization

Write objects to a file, instead of writing primitive
types.

Use the ObjectInputStream, ObjectOutputStream
classes, the same way that filters are used.

53

Write an object to a file
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class WriteDate {
public WriteDate () {
Date d = new Date();
try {
FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream("date.ser");
ObjectOutputStream s = new ObjectOutputStream (f);
s.writeObject (d);
s.close ();
}
catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }

public static void main (String args[]) {
new WriteDate ();
}
} 54

Read an object from a file
import java.util.*;
public class ReadDate {
public ReadDate () {
Date d = null;
ObjectInputStream s = null;
try { FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream ("date.ser");
s = new ObjectInputStream (f);
} catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
try { d = (Date)s.readObject (); }
catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
catch (InvalidClassException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
catch (StreamCorruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
catch (OptionalDataException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
System.out.println ("Date serialized at: "+ d);
}
public static void main (String args[]) { new ReadDate (); } 55
}
