 Preface
Java Programming, Eighth Edition, provides the beginning programmer with a guide to
developing applications using the Java programming language. Java is popular among
professional programmers because it can be used to build visually interesting graphical user
interface (GUI) and Web-based applications. Java also provides an excellent environment for
the beginning programmer—a student can quickly build useful programs while learning the
basics of structured and object-oriented programming techniques.
This textbook assumes that you have little or no programming experience. It provides a solid
background in good object-oriented programming techniques and introduces terminology
using clear, familiar language. The programming examples are business examples; they do not
assume a mathematical background beyond high-school business math. In addition, the
examples illustrate only one or two major points; they do not contain so many features that
you become lost following irrelevant and extraneous details. Complete, working programs
appear frequently in each chapter; these examples help students make the transition from the
theoretical to the practical. The code presented in each chapter can also be downloaded from
the publisher’s Web site, so students can easily run the programs and experiment with
changes to them.
The student using Java Programming, Eighth Edition, builds applications from the bottom up
rather than starting with existing objects. This facilitates a deeper understanding of the
concepts used in object-oriented programming and engenders appreciation for the existing
objects students use as their knowledge of the language advances. When students complete
this book, they will know how to modify and create simple Java programs, and they will have
the tools to create more complex examples. They also will have a fundamental knowledge of
object-oriented programming, which will serve them well in advanced Java courses or in
studying other object-oriented languages such as C++, C#, and Visual Basic.

Organization and Coverage

Java Programming, Eighth Edition, presents Java programming concepts, enforcing good
style, logical thinking, and the object-oriented paradigm. Objects are covered right from the
beginning, earlier than in many other textbooks. You create your first Java program in
Chapter 1. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 increase your understanding of how data, classes, objects,
and methods interact in an object-oriented environment.
Chapters 5 and 6 explore input and repetition structures, which are the backbone of
programming logic and essential to creating useful programs in any language. You learn the
special considerations of string and array manipulation in Chapters 7, 8, and 9.
Chapters 10, 11, and 12 thoroughly cover inheritance and exception handling. Inheritance is
the object-oriented concept that allows you to develop new objects quickly by adapting the
features of existing objects; exception handling is the object-oriented approach to handling
errors. Both are important concepts in object-oriented design. Chapter 13 provides
information on handling files so you can permanently store and retrieve program output.
Chapters 14, 15, and 16 introduce GUI Swing components (Java’s visually pleasing,
user-friendly widgets), their layout managers, and graphics.

Features
The following features are new for the Eighth Edition:
JAVA 8E: All programs have been tested using Java 8e, the newest edition of Java.
WINDOWS 8.1: All programs have been tested in Windows 8.1, and all screen shots have
been taken in this new environment.
DATE AND TIME CLASSES: This edition provides thorough coverage of the java.time
package, which is new in Java 8e.
ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD: This edition provides instructions for displaying and using an
on-screen keyboard with either a touch screen or a standard screen.
MODERNIZED GRAPHICS OUTPUT: The chapter on graphics (Chapter 16) has been
completely rewritten to focus on Swing component graphics production using the
paintComponent() method.

MODERNIZED OVERRIDING: The @Override tag is introduced.

EXPANDED COVERAGE OF THE EQUALS() METHOD: The book provides a thorough
explanation of the difference between overloading and overriding the equals() method.
PROGRAMMING EXERCISES: Each chapter contains several new programming exercises
not seen in previous editions. All exercises and their solutions from the previous edition
that were replaced in this edition are still available in the Instructor’s Resource Kit.
Additionally, Java Programming, Eighth Edition, includes the following features:
OBJECTIVES: Each chapter begins with a list of objectives so you know the topics that will
be presented in the chapter. In addition to providing a quick reference to topics covered,
this feature provides a useful study aid.
YOU DO IT: In each chapter, step-by-step exercises help students create multiple working
programs that emphasize the logic a programmer uses in choosing statements to include.
These sections provide a means for students to achieve success on their own—even those
in online or distance learning classes.
NOTES: These highlighted tips provide additional information—for example, an
alternative method of performing a procedure, another term for a concept, background
information on a technique, or a common error to avoid.

doors do contain more layers of silk than the small ones, as they
should on this hypothesis.
This is, I think, fairly established by the following table:—
Comparative Table.
One cork door measuring 1 line across contained 1 layer of silk.
Four " doors " 1 1/2 lines " 3 layers "
One " door " 1 1 /2 " 2 "
One " door " 1 3 /4 " 4 "
One " door " 2 " 5 "
Two " doors " 2 1 /2 " 6 "
One " door " 2 1 /2 " 5 "
One " door " 3 " 8 "
Two " doors " 3 1 /2 " 5 "
One " door " 3 1 /2 " 7 "
One " door " 4 " 7 "
Two " doors " 4 1 /2 " 8 "
One " door " 4 1 /2 " 7 "
Two " doors " 5 " 9 "
One " door " 5 " 5 "
One " door " 5 " 6 "
One " door " 5 " 13 "
One " door " 5 1 /2 " 9 "
One " door " 5 1 /2 " 10 "
One " door " 5 1 /2 " 14 "
One " door " 6 " 12 "

The apparent exceptions to this rule, in which the larger doors

have fewer layers than some of the smaller ones, may probably be
accounted for in the following manner.
 During the heavy rains and in times of drought flakes of earth
often become detached from the sloping banks, and carry away the
doors of such nests as are found in them.
This happens frequently, and the spiders hasten to repair the
damage and spin new doors.
But I have found, on examining eight of these new doors, that,
even in large nests,[107] they do not then contain more than three
layers of silk; so that each time a nest of any size loses its door, the
number of layers is greatly reduced.
[107] Of the eight doors in question the smallest measured
31/2 lines across, and the largest 7 lines.

In the case of six of these nests I had myself acted the part of
the landslip and removed the existing door. These original and
apparently undisturbed doors measured 31/2, 4, 5, 5, 5, and 5 lines
across, and contained respectively 5, 7, 8, 13, 9 and 5 layers of silk;
while of the equally large doors which replaced them five contained
three layers of silk only, and the remaining nest but a single layer.

which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your

destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of

forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for

the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3,
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the
Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a
Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim
all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR
BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH
1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK
OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL
NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF
YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you

discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving
it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by
sending a written explanation to the person you received the work
from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must
return the medium with your written explanation. The person or
entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide
a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied

warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted
by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation,

the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation,
anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in
accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with
the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™
electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the
following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or
any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,

Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
