The Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

Platform independent bytecode

JVM C

The same bytecode can be understood by


different JVMs

JVM D

(.class file)

In theory, bytecode is forward compatible with


newer versions of the JVM
Java Basics

Java Provides One-Stop Shopping


Java language provides an extensive set of application
programming interfaces (APIs)

java.io: Used for file system access


java.sql: The JDBC API, used for communicating with relational
databases in a vendor-independent fashion
java.awt: The Abstract Windowing Toolkit, used for GUI development

javax.swing: Swing components, also used for GUI development


And there are many more

Java Basics

Java Is Object-Oriented from the Ground Up


Primitive or simple data types are still just single pieces of information
Object-oriented objects are complex types that have multiple pieces of
information and specific properties (or attributes) and behaviors (methods).

Java Basics

Java Is Object-Oriented from the Ground Up

All data, with the exception of a few


primitive types are objects.
All of the GUI building blocks windows,
buttons, text input fields, scroll bars, lists,
menus, and so on are objects.
All functions are associated with objects
and are known as methods there can be
no free-floating functions as there are in
C/C++.

Java Basics

Practice Makes Perfect

Java taken the best features of


C++,Eiffel, Ada, and Smalltalk
Added some capabilities and
features not found in those
languages.

Features that had proven to be


most troublesome in those
earlier languages were
eliminated.

Java Basics

A source code file holds one class definition

Same name

Put a class in a source file !!!


Java Basics

A class holds one or more methods

Method 1
Method 2
Method 3

Put methods in a class !!!


Java Basics

A method holds statements

Method 1
Statements

Method 2
Statements

Put statements in a method !!!

Java Basics

Class definition

This is a
class

Define who can


access the class:

Class name

public means
everyone can
access it

Closing
brace

Opening
brace

Java Basics

Class names Should be nouns

Should be nouns, in mixed


case with the rst letter of
each internal word
capitalized.
Try to keep your class names
simple and descriptive.
Use whole words, avoid
acronyms and abbreviations.
Java is case sensitive.

Java Basics

Good Examples:
class SoccerPlayer {}
class Person {}

Bad Examples
class XYZ {}
class PERSON {}
class soccerplayer {}

Methods definition

We will see
this later

Define who can


access the class:

Method
name

Parameters
to the
method

public means
everyone can
access it
Return
type
Closing
brace

Opening
brace

Java Basics

Methods names Should be verbs


Good Examples:
private static void play(int coinValue) {}

public static void moveToRight(int steps) {}


public static void getDirection() {}

Bad Examples
public static void person() {}

Should be verbs (behaviors), in mixed


case with the rst letter lowercase,
with the rst letter of each internal
word capitalized.

public static void PLAY() {}


public static void soccerplayer() {}

Java Basics

The main method is where your program start to run

Is not necessary a
main method in a
class

Java Basics

Java basic applications


Comments, operators and precedence
System.out and System.in

Comments improve readability of source code


Most of the times ;)

A good source code do not


required comments

What is the best comment in source code you have ever encountered

Java Basics

Self explanatory code vs Commented code

Self explanatory

Precedence of arithmetic operators

Java Basics

Precedence of arithmetic operators

System.out is the "standard" java output stream

This stream is already open and ready to accept output


data.
Print an object
System.out.print(Object object);
Print an object using a specific format
System.out.printf(String format, Object object);
Print an object in a new line
System.out.println(Object object);

Java Basics

System.out is the "standard" java output stream

System.out.print();
Print without moving cursor to
the next line

System.out.println();
Print moving cursor to the next
line

System.in is used to read user inputs

System.in and Scanner class allow us to read values


typed by the user

First we need to import


the Scanner class at the
beginning of our source
code file
