Java Basics for CSC Students

The document discusses the structure of a Java program, including: 1) Creating, compiling, and running a Java program using javac and java commands. 2) The basic components of a Java program including classes, methods, and data types. 3) Primitive data types in Java like int, double, boolean. 4) Key concepts like variables, statements, operators, and comments. 5) An overview of the next lab session on creating and running a simple Java program.

CSC 201-Lecture 2

Agenda
• Review of Lecture – 1
• Java program structure
• Data Types in Java
• Next Lab Session
Review Of Lecture-1
• Data
• Algorithm
• Flowchart
• Introduction to Programming
• Terms: Software, Hardware.
Structure of a Java Program
• Create a program.
• Compile a program.
– What is a compiler?
• A compiler is an application that translates source
code of a program into machine readable code.
• Run/Execute the program.
How Java Program is Compiled?
• To compile: javac <filename>.java
• To Execute: java <filename>
• When you compile a Java program, the
output is NOT exe file, but a .class file
Compiling & Executing Concepts
• JDK : Java Development Kit
• JVM : Java Virtual Machine
• JRE : Java Runtime Environment
Imperative part of Java
• Comment forms in Java
/* */ Block Comment
// Single line comment

• Java is case sensitive.


Variables, Constants, Identifiers
• Variable : A variable is a storage location.
It holds a value of that type.
Ex: a , a1
• Constants : Constants are variables that
do not change.
Ex: n1 = 2;
• Identifiers : Similar to variable
synonymously. It is usually any place in
memory where data resides.
Statements
int a, b; /* Associates a variable name
with a type at compile time*/

a = 12;/* assignment statement ,


initialization*/

int c = a * b; /* decl stmt + assignment


stmt*/
Primitive Data Types
Java is a statically typed language-means
you have to declare a variable before they
can be used.
• What is a Data Type?

• How to define a data type?


data-type variable-name;
Ex: int n1;
8 Primitive Data Types
Byte : -128 to 127(inclusive)
Short : -32768 to 32767
Int : -2,147,483,648 to
2,147,483,647
Long : -2^63 to 2^63 -1
Float : 6 significant digits
Double : 15 significant digits
Bool : True or False
char : unicode
• Character constants are enclosed in ‘ ’.
• String constants consists of sequence of
characters enclosed in “ “.
• Escape Sequences are used to represent
certain character constants.
‘\n’ for newline
‘\\’ backslash character.
Variables
• A variable is a value that can change
depending upon your program.
Example:
int n1, n2;
n1 = 2;
n2 = 3;
Operators in Java
• Assignment Operators
Ex : ==, =+, *=, -=
• Binary Arithmetic operators
Ex : +, - , *, /
• Unary operators
Ex : ++, --
• Type conversions (later)
Lab Session
• Creating a .java program.
• Saving the program.
• Compiling : javac myprogram.java
.class file is created
• Run: java myprogram
• Reading Assignment
Textbook Ch 1.1 to 1.3
Screenshots: How to write a
program in a notepad/Textpad
Helloworld.java
public class helloworld
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Hello CSC201 !!");
}
}
Addition using args()
User gives input from cmd prompt
public class addition
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int n1, n2, result;
n1 = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
n2 = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
result = n1 + n2;
System.out.println("After adding the two numbers,
result is :" + result);
}
}
