All rights reserved.  Programs written in most languages usually require numerous modifications to run on more than one type of computing platform, (a combination of a CPU and operating system). This platform-dependence is because most languages require you to write code specific to the underlying platform. Popular programming languages, such as C and C++, require programmers to compile and link their programs, resulting in an executable program unique to a platform. A compiler is an application that converts a program that you write into a CPUspecific code called machine code. These platform-specific files (binary files) are often combined with other files, such as libraries of prewritten code, using a linker to create a platform-dependent program, called an executable, which can be executed by an end user. Unlike C and C++, the Java programming language is platform-independent. The image illustrates how a compiler creates a binary file.

Java SE 8 Fundamentals 2 - 8  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Key Features of the Java Language Some of the features that set Java apart from most other languages are that: • It is platform-independent • It is object-oriented  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  There are several other key features of the Java language, but in this course, only the two mentioned above will be discussed.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 2 - 9  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Java Is Platform-Independent  Project Libraries Java Compiler Java Code  Java Bytecode  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  A Java program can run on several different CPUs and operating system combinations, such as the Solaris OS on a SPARC chip, Mac OS X on an Intel chip, and Microsoft Windows on an Intel chip, usually with few or no modifications. As illustrated above, Java programs are compiled using a Java compiler. The resulting format of a compiled Java program is platform-independent Java bytecode instead of CPU-specific machine code. After the bytecode is created, it is interpreted by a bytecode interpreter called the Java Virtual Machine or JVM. A virtual machine is a platform-specific program that understands platformindependent bytecode and can execute it on a particular platform. For this reason, the Java programming language is often referred to as an interpreted language, and Java technology programs are said to be portable or executable on any platform. Other interpreted languages include Perl.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 2 - 10  Java Programs Run In a Java Virtual Machine  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  JRE  Solaris OS Workstation  Java Bytecode (.class file)  JRE  Linux Workstation JRE  Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Microsoft Windows Workstation  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The image illustrates a Java bytecode file executing on several platforms where a Java runtime environment exists. A virtual machine gets its name because it is a piece of software that runs code, a task usually accomplished by the CPU or hardware machine. For Java programs to be platformindependent, a virtual machine called the JVM is required on every platform where your program will run. The JVM is responsible for interpreting Java code, loading Java classes, and executing Java programs. However, a Java program needs more than just a JVM to execute. A Java program also needs a set of standard Java class libraries for the platform. Java class libraries are libraries of prewritten code that can be combined with the code that you write to create robust applications. Combined, the JVM software and Java class libraries are referred to as the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Java Runtime Environments are available from Oracle for many common platforms.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 2 - 11  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Procedural Programming Languages •  •  •  Many early programming languages followed a paradigm called Procedural Programming. These languages use a sequential pattern of program execution.  1  Step 1  2  Step 2  3  Step 3  4  Step 4  5  Step 5  Drawbacks to procedural programming: – Difficult to translate real-world use cases to a sequential pattern – Difficult to maintain programs – Difficult to enhance as needed  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Earlier programming languages were based on a programming paradigm called "procedural". Procedural languages use a sequential pattern of program execution such as you see in the diagram above. Some examples of procedural programming languages are COBOL, Fortran, C, and Pascal. This style of programming has become less popular due to the difficulty of designing realworld applications using sequential pattern. It has also proven difficult to maintain and enhance programs structured in this way.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 2 - 12  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Java Is an Object-Oriented Language • • •  Interaction of objects No prescribed sequence Benefits: – – – –  Modularity Information hiding Code reuse Maintainability  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Object-oriented programming differs from procedural programming, because procedural programming stresses the sequence of coding steps required to solve a problem, whereas object-oriented programming stresses the interaction of objects. Java is an object-oriented programming (OO) language. One of the main goals of an OO language is to create objects— pieces of autonomous code—that can interact with other objects to solve a problem. OO programming languages began in 1967 and have led to popular programming languages such as C++, upon which Java is loosely based. This provides many benefits: • Modularity: The source code for an object can be written and maintained independently of the source code for other objects. After it is created, an object can be easily passed around inside the system. • Information hiding: By interacting only with an object's methods, the details of its internal implementation remain hidden from the outside world. • Code reuse: If an object already exists (perhaps written by another software developer), you can use that object in your program. • Maintainability: If a particular object is found to be problematic, you can create another, slightly modified one and simply replace the original one in your application. This is analogous to fixing mechanical problems in the real world. If a bolt breaks, you replace the bolt, not the entire machine. The diagram illustrates an object-oriented program's focus on objects and object interactions.

All rights reserved.  Java SE (Standard Edition) Development Kit The Java SE Development Kit includes both the tools and classes that you will use to develop a Java program. The tools and utilities are stored in the bin directory. These are shown in the screenshot on the right. They include: • A Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for the platform you choose. Here you see a Linux example. The runtime engine is started by running the java program. • A Java compiler, started by running the javac program • Additional utilities, such as utilities for creating Java archive files (JAR files) and for debugging Java programs • The bin directory, which must be on the system PATH in order to run or compile a Java program. The Java installer automatically adds the bin to your system PATH. • Note: The Java Runtime Environment used in production (commonly called the JRE) is also included with Java SE Development Kit. This is found in the jre directory.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 2 - 16  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Examining the Installed JDK (Windows Example): The Libraries  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Java SE Development Kit In addition to the executable files found in the bin directory of the JDK, various class libraries are installed that conform to the particular platform that you chose. Here you see a Windows example. The core libraries are found in the lib directory as shown above. The Java runtime engine requires these libraries. In addition to the Java SDK download, other items are available as a separate download, such as the Java class library (API) documentation and the Java Language Specification.

Java SE 8 Fundamentals 2 - 18  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Compiling and Running a Java Program  .java  javac  .class  java  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The diagram above shows what happens when you compile and run a Java program. • The Java code is written in a file with the extension .java. This is called the "Java source code." • You use the javac executable to compile the source code (the "c" stands for "compiler") into a bytecode file with the extension .class. This is called a Java class. • You use the java executable to run the Java class. This is your Java program.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 2 - 19  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Compiling a Program 1. Go to the directory where the source code files are stored. 2. Enter the following command for each .java file you want to compile. •  Syntax:  javac SayHello.java  •  Example:  javac SayHello.java  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Compiling converts the source files that you write into bytecode that can be executed by a Java Virtual Machine. The source file has a .java extension. It also defines a public class of the same name. For example, the class, SayHello, must be saved in a file called SayHello.java. (You learn more about classes later in this course.) To compile the SayHello source code, perform the following steps: 1. Go to the directory where the source code files are stored. 2. Enter the following command for each .java file that you want to compile (Note that the .java extension is required.): Example: javac SayHello.java After the compilation has finished, and assuming no compilation errors have occurred, you should have a new file called          .class in your directory for each source code file that you compiled. Example: SayHello.class  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 2 - 20  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Executing (Testing) a Program 1. Go to the directory where the class files are stored. 2. Enter the following for the class file that contains the main method: • Syntax: java                          •  Example:  Do not specify .class.  java SayHello  •  Output:  Hello World!  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  When you have successfully compiled your source code files, you can execute and test them using the Java Virtual Machine. To execute and test your program: 1. Go to the directory where the class files are stored. 2. Enter the following command for the class file that contains the main method. Note that here the file extension (.class) should not be included. Example: java SayHello This command runs the SayHello class. The SayHello class contains the main method. This is the entry point to a Java application. The java executable only works with a class containing a main method. In the above example, the main method contains code that prints the string "Hello World!".  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 2 - 21  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Output for a Java Program A Java program can output data in many ways. Here are some examples: • To a file or database • To the console • To a webpage or other user interface  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  In this course, we will be outputting data only to the console. You can learn more about writing to other destinations, such as a file, database, or webpage, by taking the Java SE 8 Programming course.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 2 - 22  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Exercise 2-1 • •  From a Terminal window, enter java –version to see the system's Java version. Look for SayHello.java in: /labs/02-GettingStarted/Exercises/Exercise1  • •  Compile it: javac SayHello.java Run the resulting class file: java SayHello —  Did you see the output?  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  In this exercise, you look at the Java version installed on your system, and then you run a simple Java program from the command line. • Open a terminal window by double-clicking the Terminal shortcut on your desktop. It will open at your home directory, which is /home/oracle. - Note: A handy shortcut to navigate to your home directory from anywhere is ~. Example: cd ~ to go to /home/oracle. • Enter java to see the available command options. • Enter java -version to verify that JDK 1.8.0 is installed on your system. • Navigate to the folder containing the Java source file for this exercise: cd labs/02-GettingStarted/Exercises/Exercise1 • •  Enter javac SayHello.java to compile it. Enter java SayHello to run it. You should see a "Hello World!" message as output.

All rights reserved.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 3 - 2  Java Classes  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  A Java class is the building block of a Java application. Includes code that: ShoppingCart.java  • Allows a customer to add items to the shopping cart • Provides visual confirmation to the customer  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 3 - 4  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Program Structure •  A class consists of: – The class name. Class names begin with a capital letter. – The body of the class surrounded with braces — —  •  { }  Data (called fields) Operations (called methods)  Example:  Java is case-sensitive! public class Hello { // fields of the class // methods }  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  • •  • • • •  A class is declared using the keyword, class, followed by the class name. Convention dictates that the class name start with a capital letter. If there are two words in the class name (SayHello), each word should begin with a capital letter. In the example above, the class name is Hello. The keyword public is called a modifier. You learn about these in the lesson titled "Using Encapsulation." Java is case-sensitive. It does not recognize the following two words as being the same thing: class and Class. A class would typically contain data (called fields) and operations (called methods). You learn about this a little later. Notice that the body of the Hello class is enclosed in braces ({ }).  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 3 - 5  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Java Packages •  A package provides a namespace for the class. – This is a folder in which the class will be saved. – The folder name (the package) is used to uniquely identify the class. – Package names begin with a lowercase letter.  •  Example:  Package name package greeting; public class Hello { // fields and methods here }  The class's unique name is: greeting.Hello  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The use of a package when you create a Java class is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended. Notice the semicolon after package greeting; Semicolons are required at the end of each statement. It is similar to the period at the end of a sentence. The sentence may wrap to another line, but it is not complete until the period. The Java compiler interprets a statement as being complete when it encounters the semicolon.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 3 - 6  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Using the Java Code Console For the exercises in this course, you use a browser-based Java IDE. 1. Open a browser and enter: http://localhost:8080/JavaCC 2. Click the Lessons link. 3. Click the exercise number for the current lesson.  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. This is a type of software that makes it easier to develop applications. In the practices for the lesson titled "Describing Objects and Classes" and beyond, you use the NetBeans IDE, which is a full-featured Java IDE. For the short exercises that are sprinkled throughout the lecture portions of this course, you will use a simple web-based IDE called Java Code Console. It was written specifically for this purpose. This IDE is hosted on your student machine.

Java SE 8 Fundamentals 3 - 9  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Exercise 3-1: Creating a Class In this exercise, you use the Java Code Console to create a new Java Class. • Click New to create a new class: – Class name = ShoppingCart – Package name = exercise  •  Leave the tabbed view open in the browser because you will modify the code in the next exercise.  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The fully-qualified class name should be exercise.ShoppingCart. Do not click the Solution link until after exercise 3-2.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 3 - 10  The main Method  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  • •  It is a special method that the JVM recognizes as the starting point for every Java program. The syntax is always the same: public static void main (String args[]) // code goes here in the code block }  •  It surrounds entire method body with braces { }  {  .  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  •  The main method is a special method that the Java Virtual Machine recognizes as the starting point for a Java program. • Any program that you want to run must have a public main method. • A class containing a main method is referred to as a "main class." Note: Brackets ([]) can be placed to the right of String or to the right of args, but the former is recommended: (String[] args) (String args[])  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 3 - 12  A main Class Example  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Class name public class Hello { public static void main (String[] args)  {  // Entry point to the program. Comments // Write code here: System.out.println ("Hello World!"); } }  Program output  main method Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Here you see a simple example of a class (Hello) that includes a main method. The main method writes a message to the console ("Hello World!"). This is called program output. You can include comments that the compiler will ignore, by preceding the comment line with two forward slashes: //  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 3 - 13  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Output to the Console •  Syntax: System.out.println ();  String literal  •  Example: System.out.println ("This is my message.");  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Use the System.out.println method to print a message to the console. Use double quotation marks to enclose the text of the message (called a String literal).  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 3 - 14  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Fixing Syntax Errors • •  If you have made a syntax error, the error message appears in the Output panel. Common errors: – Unrecognized word (check for case-sensitivity error) – Missing semicolon – Missing close quotation mark – Unmatched brace  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The Java Code Console helps you out by using color coding. Keywords (such as class) are in purple. String literals are shown in blue. When you click Run, it will attempt to compile your code and then run it. Syntax errors will be caught during compilation. The error message may or may not be helpful in troubleshooting, so here are some common errors to avoid: • Unrecognized class (It may say "Cannot find symbol."). This happens when you misspell a method or class name, or if you get the case wrong. Remember, Java is casesensitive! • Every Java statement must end with a semicolon. This example error is shown above in line 5. • An uneven number of symbols such as braces, brackets, and quotation marks will also cause errors.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 3 - 15  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Exercise 3-2: Creating a main Method In this practice, you manually enter a main method that prints a message to the console. • In the code editor, add the main method structure to the ShoppingCart class. • In the code block, use a System.out.println method to print "Welcome to the Shopping Cart!" • Click the Run button to test program.  Example Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  In the example above, you see a class called Hello. Within the braces that define the scope of the class, you see the main method. The method body is also surrounded by braces. When you click the Run button as indicated in the image on the right, the program is both compiled (using javac) and executed (using java). The println statement results in the "Hello World!" string appearing in the Output tab.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 3 - 16  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Quiz Which main method syntax is correct? a. Public static void main (String[ ] args){ } b. public Static void Main (String[ ] args){ } c. public static void main (String ( ) args)[ ] d. public static void main (String[ ] args){ }  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Answer: d • • • •  a is incorrect. It should be "public", not "Public". b is incorrect.

A variable is simply a storage location in memory that holds a specific value. That value can be changed by copying (or "assigning") a different value to that variable.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 4 - 4  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Variable Types •  Some of the types of values a variable can hold: – – – –  •  String (example: "Hello") int (examples: -10, 0, 2, 10000) double (examples: 2.00, 99.99, -2042.09) boolean (true or false)  If uninitialized, variables have a default value: – – – –  String : "" (the empty string) int: 0 double: 0.0 boolean: false  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Variables are declared to hold a specific type of data. Some of the more common types are: • String: This is text data, such as "Hello". • int: This is integer data—positive or negative whole numbers. • double: These are positive or negative real numbers containing a decimal portion. • boolean: This data type has a value of either true or false. Most variables that have not been initialized are given a default value. The default values for String, int, double, and boolean are shown above. (Local variables are the exception. You will learn about local variables in the lesson titled "Creating and Using Methods.") Notice that String begins with an uppercase letter, but the other types do not. You will learn the reason for this later, when you also learn about some other data types.

Subsequent words should be capitalized: –  • • •  myVariable  Names are case-sensitive. Names cannot include white space. Choose names that are mnemonic and that indicate to the casual observer the intent of the variable. – outOfStock (a boolean) – itemDescription (a String)  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

Java SE 8 Fundamentals 4 - 6  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Uses of Variables •  Holding data used within a method: String name = "Sam" ; double price = 12.35; boolean outOfStock = true;  •  Assigning the value of one variable to another: String name = name1;  •  Representing values within a mathematical expression: total = quantity * price ;  •  Printing the values to the screen: System.out.println(name);  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Variables are used extensively in the Java programming language for tasks such as: • Holding data used within a method, such as the main method • Assigning the value of one variable to another. In the first example above, the name variable is initialized with the value, "Sam", and in the second example, its value is changed to the value of name1 (unknown here). • Representing values within a mathematical expression (* is the symbol for multiplication) • Printing the values to the screen. For example, the same System.out.println method that you used in the last exercise to print out the text literal, "Welcome to the Shopping Cart", can also be used to print out the value stored in the name variable.

All rights reserved.  The syntax for declaring and initializing a variable is: type identifier [= value];  where: • type represents the type of information or data held by the variable. In the examples above, you see only String variable types declared. • identifier is the variable name. In the first example above, the variable name is customer. • The second example shows how you can declare multiple variables of the same type on a single line without initializing them. Notice that they are separated by a comma. • You can either declare a variable without assigning an initial value (as you saw in the first example) or you can initialize the variable at the same time you declare it (as shown in the example that declares and initializes the address variable). • The final example shows how to declare and initialize multiple variables of the same type. Once again, each initialization is separated by a comma. Some of the multiple variables declared on a single line can be initialized, whereas others are just declared.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 4 - 9  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  String Concatenation •  String variables can be combined using the '+' operator. – stringVariable1 + stringVariable2 – stringVariable1 + "String literal" – stringVariable1 + "String literal" + stringVariable2  •  Example:  String greet1 = "Hello"; String greet2 = "World"; String message = greet1 + " " + greet2 + "!"; String message = greet1 + " " + greet2 + " " + 2014 +"!";  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Combining multiple Strings is called "concatenation." You can concatenate a String variable to another String variable. You can also concatenate a String literal to a String variable. As you can see in the example above, you can concatenate any number of String variables and String literals to achieve your goal. You may find the last example surprising. You can also concatenate a number into a String variable. The compiler converts the numeric value to its equivalent String value. If we were to print the message variable after the last example, the output would be "Hello World 2014!"  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 4 - 10  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  String Concatenation Output You can concatenate String variables within a method call: System.out.println(message); System.out.println(greet1 + " " + greet2 +  "!");  Output: Hello World! Hello World!  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  In the examples above, you see two variations of printing out String data by using the System.out.println method. • In the first example, the message variable that you saw in the previous slide will be printed. • In the second example, the expression containing the concatenation of variables plus String literals can be used within the method parentheses. The concatenation will be completed by the runtime engine before the println method is executed. • As you can see, the output of both method invocations is the same.

You cannot use commas to make the number more readable when you assign a value to an int variable. However, you can use underscores (_) to make your code more readable, as shown in one of above int examples. The compiler ignores these underscores. If you print the number to system output, the underscores will not appear. The only benefit of this is readability in your code. The double data type stores 64 bits of data. This means that you can store extremely large values—either negative or positive.

Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  In your daily life, you have to make a lot of decisions, and you often use the word "if" with some condition when making those decisions. For example, "If I can see my destination on the left, I will turn left, otherwise I'll turn right." One of the tasks that programs often perform is to evaluate a condition and, depending on the result, execute different blocks or branches of code. This is called conditional logic, and it is handled through the use of an if/else statement.  Java SE8 Fundamentals 5 - 4  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  The if/else Statement Boolean expression if (                                  ) { // do something } else { // do something different  if block  else block  }  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The if/else statement is one way of branching your code depending upon some condition. It uses the two Java keywords, if and else. • •  If some condition is true, execute the code within the if block. Else, if that condition is false, execute the code in the else block.  The condition to be evaluated is surrounded by parentheses. It is referred to as a Boolean expression because it must evaluate to either true or false.  Java SE8 Fundamentals 5 - 5  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Boolean expressions Review: • boolean data type has only two possible values: – true – false  A Boolean expression is a combination of variables, values, and operators that evaluate to true or false. • length > 10; • size <= maxSize; • total == (cost * price); Relational operators Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Remember that a boolean data type can have only two possible values: true and false. In the same way, a Boolean expression, made up of some combination of variables, values and operators, must also evaluate to either true or false. This usually involves a special kind of operator called a relational operator. Several of these are used in the three examples above: • Greater than ( > ) • Less than or equal to ( <= ) • Equal to ( == ). In the example above, the result of cost * price is compared to the value of total. If they are equal, the entire expression evaluates to true.

After creation, the length of an array cannot be changed. Each item in an array is called an element, and each element is accessed by its numerical index. As shown in the diagram above, index numbering begins with 0. For example, the eighth element would be accessed at index 7. The length of an array can be accessed using dot notation to access the length field.

All rights reserved.  In the first five lessons, the exercises mention a shopping cart class that contains items. Take another look at the shopping cart scenario. Imagine an online store called Duke's Choice. His number one shopper is his mother, Mrs. Duke. As Mrs. Duke shops, she places items in a shopping cart. Mrs. Duke likes shirts, so she places shirts in her cart. After she fills the cart, she checks out. The checkout process applies the purchase to a credit card, which is verified, and then Mrs. Duke receives an order number so that she can track her order or return it. As a software developer, when you are presented with a scenario such as Duke's Choice for an application that you need to develop, you can analyze the scenario by breaking it into steps and defining the objects of the scenario.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 6 - 8  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Characteristics of Objects Objects are physical or conceptual. • Objects have properties: – – – –  •  Size Shape Name Color  Objects have behaviors:  Mrs. Duke Color property value is red  – Shop – Put item in cart – Pay  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  To validate objects in a problem domain, such as the Duke's Choice order process, you identify the properties of all objects: • Objects can be physical or conceptual. A customer's credit card account is an example of a conceptual object, because it is not something you can physically touch. A shirt is an example of a physical object. • Objects have properties (attributes) such as size, name, and shape that represent the state of the object. For example, a person has a name (Mrs. Duke), and an object might have a color property. The value of all of an object's properties is often referred to as the object's current state. An object might have a color property with the value of red and a size property with a value of large. • Objects also have behaviors (things they can do) such as, in our example, shop, put an item in the cart, and purchase.

Here is an example of one of Duke's Choice objects, the Customer, and its function in the store. Customer is the class, and a class is a blueprint or recipe for an object. The class describes an object's properties and behaviors. Classes are used to create object instances, such as the three Customer object instances, as illustrated by the three images.

This code example demonstrates how the properties and methods are created in Java. The basic components of a Java class are: • The class declaration. Notice that the entire class is surrounded by braces. • Fields of the class. These represent the properties or attributes of the class. • Methods of the class. These represent the behaviors or operations. Here you see just one method, displayCustomer. Note: In the code example above, the word "public" is a modifier, and you learn about modifiers later in the course.

All rights reserved.  In the code example, two new instances of the Customer object called customer01 and customer02 are created. (Another term for created is "instantiated.") After the objects are instantiated, the reference variables customer01 and customer02 can be used to access fields and methods of the objects. The next two slides explain variations on instantiation, and the dot operator. There is more information on methods in the lesson titled "Creating and Using Methods."  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 6 - 18  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Object Instances and Instantiation Syntax variable becomes a reference to that object. The new keyword creates (instantiates) a new instance.  The syntax is:                                                                  variable = new                                  () public static void main(String[] args){ Customer customer01 = new Customer();  //Declare and instantiate  Customer customer02; customer02 = new Customer();  //Declare the reference //Then instantiate  new Customer();  //Instantiation without a reference //We can't use this object later //without knowing how to reference it.  } }  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  By using the new keyword, a new instance of the class is now available to be accessed through the variable, which stores a reference to that object. It can be referred to as a reference variable or an object reference. Notice that, following the new keyword, you see the class name followed by parentheses. This looks similar to calling a method, doesn't it? You are calling a method—the constructor method of the Customer class. Every class has a constructor method that has the same name as the class. Constructors are covered in more detail in the lesson titled "Creating and Using Methods." To summarize, there are three steps to getting an object reference: 1. Declare the reference. 2. Instantiate the object using the new keyword and the class constructor method. 3. Assign the object to the reference. Note that the way that the assignment operator (an = symbol) works requires that the reference and the newly created object must be in the same statement. (Statements are ended with the semicolon symbol and are not the same as lines. The end of a line means nothing to the Java compiler; it only helps make the code more readable.)

All rights reserved.  So far you have seen objects with properties such as boolean, int, double, and String. What if you wanted an object's property to be another object with its own set of properties and behaviors, such as a costumer with a cart property? That way, an instance of a Customer would have access to the properties and behaviors found in a Cart. This would enable the customer to add items to the cart and then checkOut (purchase) the cart. Can this be done? The answer is yes. You can access fields and methods of objects within another object by applying the dot operator multiple times. Note: A best practice is to use attribute and operation names that clearly describe the attribute or operation. The asterisk (*) denotes an attribute that is a reference to another object.

The remote is like the reference used to access the camera.  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  What you have learned up to this point is: • Objects are accessed using references. • Objects are instantiated objects of their class type. • Objects consist of properties and operations, which in Java are fields and methods. To work with an object, you need to access it using a reference. A good analogy is using a remote control to operate an electronic device. The buttons on the remote control can be used to modify the behavior of the device (in this case, a camera). For example, you can make the camera stop, play, or record by interacting with the remote.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 6 - 24  Working with Object References 1  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  1  Pick up the remote to gain access to the camera.

Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Consider the analogy of using a remote control to operate an electronic device. To operate an electronic device with a remote, you need to: 1. Pick up the remote (and possibly turn it on) 2. Press a button on the remote to do something on the camera Similarly, to do something with a Java object, you need to: 1. Get its "remote" (called a reference) 2. Press its "buttons" (called methods)  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 6 - 25  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Working with Object References  remote2  remote1  12 13 14 15 16 17 18  Camera remote1 = new Camera(); Camera remote2 = new Camera();  There are two Camera objects.  remote1.play(); remote2.play();  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  There are two camera objects in this example. Each camera has its own unique remote. remote2 will not work on remote1's camera, and remote1 will not work on remote2's camera. This reflects how in Java, two different objects can be instantiated with their own unique references. These references can be used to call methods on their respective objects.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 6 - 26  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Working with Object References  There is only one Camera object. remote2  remote1  12 13 14 15 16 17 18  Camera remote1 = new Camera(); Camera remote2 = remote1; remote1.play(); remote2.stop();  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The diagram shows another important aspect of how references work. In this example, a Camera object is created and its reference assigned to a Camera reference, remote1. This reference is then assigned to another Camera reference, remote2. Now both references are associated with the same Camera object, and methods called on either reference will affect the same Camera object. Calling remote1.play is no different than calling remote2.play. Both remotes operate the same camera.

All rights reserved.  To extend the analogy just a little further, to work with a different type of object (for example, a television), you need a remote for that object. In the Java world, you need a reference of the correct type for the object that you are referencing. You can ignore the fact that there is such a thing as a universal remote controller, although later in the course you will discover that Java also has the concept of references that are not limited to a single object type! For the moment, let's just say that a reference of the same type as the object is one of the reference types that can be used, and is a good place to start exploring the world of Java objects.

Also note that there are two Shirt references pointing to these two Shirt objects. The diagram also shows two types of memory that Java uses: the stack and the heap. The stack holds local variables, either primitives or reference types, whereas the heap holds objects.

All rights reserved.  The diagram shows what happens if the myShirt reference, after having its own object (in the previous slide), is now assigned the reference yourShirt. When this happens, the myShirt reference will drop its current object and be reassigned to the same object that yourShirt has. As a result, two references, myShirt and yourShirt, now point to the same object. Any changes to the object made by using one reference can be accessed using the other reference, and vice versa. Another effect of assigning the reference yourShirt to the reference myShirt is that if the previous object referred to by myShirt has no other references, it will now be inaccessible. In due course, it will be garbage collected, meaning that its memory will become available to store other objects.

The old object that was previously referenced by myShirt goes away.

Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  •  •  The String class is one of the many classes included in the Java class libraries. The String class provides you with the ability to store a sequence of characters. You will use the String class frequently throughout your programs. Therefore, it is important to understand some of the special characteristics of strings in the Java programming language. Because a String object is immutable, its value cannot be changed. (There are technical reasons, beyond the scope of this course, as to why this immutability is useful. One simple example is that this immutability ensures that a String can be used by several different classes safely because it cannot be changed.) Creating a String object using the new keyword creates two String objects in memory, whereas creating a String object by using a string literal creates only one object; therefore, the latter practice is more memory-efficient. To avoid the unnecessary duplication of String objects in memory, create String objects without using the new keyword.

All rights reserved.  Here is the string " World" being concatenated to the original string. The concat method is being used here, but whether you use that or the concatenation operator (+), a new String object is created and a new String reference is returned that points to this new object. In the diagram, this is shown by the fact that the String reference myString is no longer 0x034009, and because that object is no longer referred to, it is now inaccessible and will be garbage collected.

Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Finally, on concatenating another string, this time using the concatenation operator, the same thing happens again. A new object is created and the reference for this object is assigned to myString.

All rights reserved.  Like most classes, the String class has a number of useful methods. Almost all of these methods do their useful work by returning a single value (Java allows only a single return from a method). The return type (essentially the type of the method) can be a primitive or a reference to an object. To be able to use the return value in your code, you will typically use the assignment operator to assign the value (or reference) to a type that you have declared for this purpose. The example in the slide shows the use of reference hello to call the method length. Because the object this reference refers to is the string Hello World, this method call will return the value 11 and place it in the variable stringLength. int is the type of the method length.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 8  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  String Method Calls with Object Return Values Method calls returning objects: String greet = " HOW ".trim(); String lc = greet + "DY".toLowerCase(); Or String lc = (greet + "DY").toLowerCase();  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  This example shows several method calls that return object references. First, the String object " HOW " is instantiated and has the method trim called on it. Because a string literal returns an object reference, this is exactly the same as calling the method trim on the reference. Notice that the string " HOW " has two spaces on either side of the word. The string returned will be just three characters long because these spaces will be removed. This new string will be referenced by greet. The next example shows a method call not being assigned to a type, but simply used in an expression. The method toLowerCase is called on the string "DY", returning "dy". lc now references an object containing "HOWdy". Finally, note how an alternative version with parentheses ensures that the two strings are concatenated (creating a new string) before toLowerCase is called. lc now references an object containing "howdy".

This master list of methods gives the basic details for the method. In this case, you can see that the name of the method is charAt, its type is char, and it requires an index (of type int) to be passed in. There is also a brief description that this method returns the char value at a particular index in the string. For any of the methods, the method name and the parameter types are hyperlinked so that you can get more details.

All rights reserved.  This example shows how to get the location of the first '-' character by using the 1-arg version of indexOf, and then by using the 2-arg version to get the location of the second '-'. If you wanted to convert the phone number to an int, you could do something like this: 1. Find the dashes by using the indexOf method (as shown above). 2. Build a new String without dashes by using the substring method and concatenation. 3. Convert this String to an int by using the parseInt method of Integer. The parseInt method of the Integer class is covered in the lesson "Using Encapsulation."

StringBuilder: • Is instantiated using the new keyword • Has many methods for manipulating its value • Provides better performance because it is mutable • Can be created with an initial capacity String is still needed because: • It may be safer to use an immutable object • A method in the API may require a string • It has many more methods not available on StringBuilder  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The StringBuilder class is "mutable." This means that it can be changed in place. You will recall that when you modify the value of a String variable, a new String object is created for the new value. String objects are "immutable." A String object's value cannot be changed. • Unlike String, there is no shortcut to instantiate a StringBuilder. It is simply instantiated like any other object by using the new keyword. • A small sampling of the StringBuilder methods for manipulation of data values are: append, delete, insert, and replace. • StringBuilder provides better performance because it does not create new objects in memory whenever a change is made. Performance is also benefited whenever you can set an initial capacity for the object, as opposed to letting it grow and allocate memory dynamically. • StringBuilder is not a complete replacement for String, but it is more suitable if many modifications are likely to be made to its value.

Note that no assignment (=) is necessary because there is already a reference to the StringBuilder object, and this StringBuilder object now contains a representation of the combined strings "Hello World". Even if you did assign the return type of the append method (which is StringBuilder), there would still be no object creation cost; the append method modifies the current object and returns the reference to that object, the one already contained in mySB.

All rights reserved.  Many of the values in Java technology programs are stored as primitive data types. The slide lists the eight primitive types built in to the Java programming language. You have already learned about some of these and have been using them in your exercises and practices. Now you will see the remaining primitive types.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 25  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Some New Integral Primitive Types Type  Length  Range  byte  8 bits  –27 to 27 –1 (–128 to 127, or 256 possible values)  short  16 bits  –215 to 215 – 1 (–32,768 to 32,767, or 65,535 possible values)  int  32 bits  –231 to 231 –1 (–2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647, or 4,294,967,296 possible values)  long  64 bits  –263 to 263 –1 (–9,223,372,036854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036854,775,807, or 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 possible values)  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  There are four integral primitive types in the Java programming language. You have already been using the int data type, so the focus here is on the other three. Integral types are used to store numbers that do not have decimal portions. They are shown here in order of size. • byte: If you need to store people's ages, a variable of type byte would work because byte types can accept values in that range. • short: A short will hold 16 bits of data. • long: When you specify a literal value for a long type, put a capital L to the right of the value to explicitly state that it is a long type. Integer literals are assumed by the compiler to be of type int unless you specify otherwise by using an L indicating long type. • You can express any of the integral types as binary (0s and 1s). For instance, a binary expression of the number 2 is shown as an allowed value of the byte integral type. The binary value is 0b10. Notice that this value starts with 0b (that is, zero followed by either a lowercase or uppercase letter B). This indicates to the compiler that a binary value follows.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 26  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Examples of allowed literal values: • byte = 2, -114, 0b10 (binary number) • short = 2, -32699 • int (default type for integral literals) = 2, 147334778, 123_456_678 • long = 2, –2036854775808L, 1 Note: The only reason to use the byte and short types in programs is to save memory consumption. Because most modern desktop computers contain an abundance of memory, most desktop application programmers do not use byte and short types. This course uses primarily int and long types in the examples.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 27  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Floating Point Primitive Types Type  Float Length  float  32 bits  double (default type for floating point literals)  64 bits  Example: public float pi = 3.141592F;  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  There are two types for floating point numbers: float and double. Again, the focus is on the new data type here, the float. Floating point types are used to store numbers with values to the right of the decimal point, such as 12.24 or 3.14159. • float is used to store smaller floating point numbers. A float variable can hold 32 bits. • Floating point values are assumed to be of type double unless you specify by putting a capital F (float) to the right of the value to explicitly state that it is a float type, not a double type. Examples of allowed literal values:  float = 99F, -327456,99.01F, 4.2E6F (engineering notation for 4.2 * 106 ) double = -1111, 2.1E12, 99970132745699.999 Note: Use the double type when a greater range or higher accuracy is needed.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 28  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Textual Primitive Type • • •  The only primitive textual data type is char. It is used for a single character (16 bits). Example: – public char colorCode = 'U'; Single quotes must be used with char literal values.  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Another data type that you use for storing and manipulating data is single-character information. The primitive type used for storing a single character (such as a 'y') is char, which is 16 bits in size. The Shirt class shows the use of one textual literal value to specify the default value for a colorCode: public char colorCode = 'U';  When you assign a literal value to a char variable, you must use single quotation marks around the character as shown in the code example above.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 29  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Java Language Trivia: Unicode Another primitive type is Unicode. • Unicode uses a 16-bit character set. • It can store all the necessary characters from most languages. • Programs can be written so they display the correct language for most countries.  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Did You Know? Many older computer languages use American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), an 8-bit character set that has an entry for every English character, punctuation mark, number, and so on. The Java programming language uses a 16-bit character set called Unicode that can store all the necessary displayable characters from the vast majority of languages used in the modern world. Therefore, your programs can be written so that they work correctly and display the correct language for most countries. Unicode contains a subset of ASCII (the first 128 characters).  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 30  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Constants •  Variable (can change): – double salesTax = 6.25;  •  Constant (cannot change): – final int NUMBER_OF_MONTHS = 12;  The final keyword causes a variable to be read only.  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  In this lesson, you have learned about variables that have values that you can change. In this section, you learn how to use constants to represent values that cannot change. Assume that you are writing part of a scheduling application, and you need to refer to the number of months in a year. Make the variable a constant by using the final keyword to inform the compiler that you do not want the value of the variable to be changed after it has been initialized. Example: final int NUMBER_OF_MONTHS = 12;  Any values that do not need to change are good candidates for a constant variable (for example, MAX_COUNT, or PI). If someone attempts to change the value of a constant after it has already been assigned a value, the compiler gives an error message. If you modify your code to provide a different value for the constant, you need to recompile your program. Guidelines for Naming Constants You should name constants so that they can be easily identified. Generally, constants should be capitalized, with words separated by an underscore (_).

Arithmetic operators let you specify how the numerical values within variables should be evaluated or combined. The standard mathematical operators (often called binary operators) used in the Java programming language are shown in the tables in this section. Note: The % is known as the modulus operator.

All rights reserved.  You have used increment and decrement operators before, placing them after the variable that you wish to affect. But did you know that these operators can come before (preincrement and predecrement) or after (postincrement and postdecrement) a variable. When you put the ++ or -- operator before a variable, the value is changed immediately. When you put the operator after the variable, it is not changed until after that expression is evaluated. • In the first code example above, id is initialized to 6. In the next line, you see newId = ++id. Because the operator precedes id, this increment is immediately evaluated and, therefore, the value assigned to newId is 7. • In the second code example, the ++ operator follows id, rather than precedes it. id was incremented after the assignment occurred. Therefore, newId is 6. • These same behaviors apply to a decrement (--) operator, in regard to its placement before or after the variable.

Some promotions are done automatically by the compiler if data would not be lost by doing so. These promotions include: • If you assign a smaller type (on the right of the =) to a larger type (on the left of the =) • If you assign an integral type to a floating point type (because there are no decimal places to lose)  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 39  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Caution with Promotion Equation: 55555 * 66666 = 3703629630  Example of potential issue: 1 2 3 4  int num1 = 55555; int num2 = 66666; long num3; num3 = num1 * num2;  //num3 is -591337666  Example of potential solution: 1 2 3 4  int num1 = 55555; long num2 = 66666; long num3; num3 = num1 * num2;  Changed from int to long //num3 is 3703629630  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Before being assigned to a variable, the result of an equation is placed in a temporary location in memory. The location's size is always equal to the size of an int type or the size of the largest data type used in the expression or statement. For example, if your equation multiplies two int types, the container size will be an int type in size, or 32 bits. If the two values that you multiply yield a value that is beyond the scope of an int type, (such as 55555 * 66666 = 3,703,629,630, which is too big to fit in an int type), the int value must be truncated to fit the result into the temporary location in memory. This calculation ultimately yields an incorrect answer because the variable for your answer receives a truncated value (regardless of the type used for your answer). To solve this problem, set at least one of the variables in your equation to the long type to ensure the largest possible temporary container size.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 40  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Caution with Promotion Equation: 7 / 2 = 3.5  Example of potential issue: 1 2 3 4  int num1 = 7; int num2 = 2; double num3; num3 = num1 / num2;  //num3 is 3.0  Example of potential solution: 1 2 3 4  int num1 = 7; double num2 = 2; double num3; num3 = num1 / num2;  Changed from int to double //num3 is 3.5  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The same issue occurs with other data types. Before being assigned to a variable, the result of an equation is placed in a temporary location in memory. The location's size is always equal to the size of the largest data type used in the expression or statement. For example, if your equation divides two int types, the container size will be an int type in size, or 32 bits. If the two values that you use yield a value that is beyond the scope of an int type, (such as 7 / 2 = 3.5), the value must be truncated to fit the result into the temporary location in memory. This calculation ultimately yields an incorrect answer because the variable for your answer receives a truncated value (regardless of the type used for your answer). To solve this problem, set at least one of the variables in your equation to the double type to ensure the largest possible temporary container size.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 41  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Type Casting •  When to cast: – If you assign a larger type to a smaller type byte  short  int  long  – If you assign a floating point type to an integral type 3  •  3.0  Examples of casting: – int longToInt = (int)20L; – short doubleToShort = (short)3.0; Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Type casting lowers the range of a value, chopping it down to use a smaller amount of memory, by changing the type of the value (for example, by converting a long value to an int value). You do this so that you can use methods that accept only certain types as arguments, so that you can assign values to a variable of a smaller data type, or so that you can save memory. The syntax for type casting a value is: identifier = (target_type) value, where: • identifier is the name you assign to the variable • value is the value you want to assign to the identifier • (target_type) is the type to which you want to type cast the value. Notice that the target_type must be in parentheses.

All rights reserved.  Assigning a variable or an expression to another variable can lead to a mismatch between the data types of the calculation and the storage location that you are using to save the result. Specifically, the compiler will either recognize that precision will be lost and not allow you to compile the program, or the result will be incorrect. To fix this problem, variable types have to be either promoted to a larger size type, or type cast to a smaller size type. In the above example, the compiler assumes that because you are adding int values, the result will overflow the space allocated for a byte. A byte, though smaller than an int, is large enough to store a value of 100. However, the compiler will not make this assignment and, instead, issues a "possible loss of precision" error because a byte value is smaller than an int value. To fix this problem, you can either type cast the right-side data type down to match the left-side data type, or declare the variable on the left side (num3) to be a larger data type, such as an int.

Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The Java technology compiler makes certain assumptions when it evaluates expressions. You must understand these assumptions to make the appropriate type casts or other accommodations. The next few slides give examples.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 46  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Automatic Promotion Example of potential problem: short a = 1 b = 2 c = a  a, b, c; ; a and b are automatically promoted to integers. ; + b ; //compiler error  Example of potential solutions: •  Declare c as an int type in the original declaration: int c;  •  Type cast the (a+b) result in the assignment line: c = (short)(a+b);  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  In the following example, an error occurs because two of the three operands (a and b) are automatically promoted from a short type to an int type before they are added. In the last line, the values of a and b are converted to int types and the converted values are added to give an int result. Then the assignment operator (=) attempts to assign the int result to the short variable (c). However, this assignment is illegal and causes a compiler error. The code works if you do either of the following: • Declare c as an int in the original declaration: int c;  •  Type cast the (a+b) result in the assignment line: c = (short)(a+b);  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 47  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Using a long 1 public class Person { 2 Using the L to indicate a long 3 public int ageYears = 32; will result in the compiler 4 recognizing the total result as 4 public void calculateAge() { a long. 5 6 int ageDays = ageYears * 365; 7 long ageSeconds = ageYears * 365 * 24L * 60 * 60; 8 9 System.out.println("You are " + ageDays + " days old."); 10 System.out.println("You are " + ageSeconds + " seconds old."); 11 12 } // end of calculateAge method 13 } // end of class  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The code example uses principles from this section to calculate a person's age in days and seconds. Because the ageSeconds variable is declared as a long, one of the literal values used as operands in the assigned expression must be initialized as a long value ('L') so that the compiler will allow the assignment.

Just as integral types default to int under some circumstances, values assigned to floating point types always default to a double type, unless you specifically state that the value is a float type. For example, the following line causes a compiler error. Because 27.9 is assumed to be a double type, a compiler error occurs because a double type value cannot fit into a float variable. float float1 = 27.9; //compiler error Both of the following work correctly: • The F notifies the compiler that 27.9 is a float value: float float1 = 27.9F;  •  27.9 is cast to a float type: float float1 = (float) 27.9;  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 7 - 50  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Quiz Which statements are true? a.

All rights reserved.  In the previous example, the ShoppingCart class calls the display method on a Shirt object from within the main method. The main method is referred to as the calling method because it is invoking or "calling" another method to do some work. Conversely, the display method is referred to as the worker method because it does some work for the main method. When a calling method calls a worker method, the calling method stops execution until the worker method is done. After the worker method has completed, program flow returns to the point after the method invocation in the calling method.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 8 - 6  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  A Constructor Method A constructor method is a special method that is invoked when you create an object instance. • It is called by using the new keyword. • Its purpose is to instantiate an object of the class and store the reference in the reference variable. Shirt myShirt = new Shirt();  •  Constructor method is called.  It has a unique method signature.                                                                                  ClassName()  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  A constructor is invoked using the new keyword. Its job is to instantiate an object of the class and to provide a reference to the new object. If you do not write your own constructor in a class, Java will provide one for you. The constructor's name is the same as the class name. In the Shirt example above, the reference returned by the Shirt constructor is assigned to the myShirt reference variable.

All rights reserved.  Calling a method in the same class is very straightforward. You can simply use the method name without a reference. This is the same as when accessing a field; you can simply use the field name. However, if you have local variables with similar names and you want to make it obvious that your code is accessing a field or method of the current object, you can use the this keyword with dot notation. this is a reference to the current object. In this example, the display method is called twice from the constructor.

Likewise, methods may return values of many different types, including primitive data types, objects, and arrays. Note: Constructors are special. They cannot have a return type, not even void.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 8 - 13  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Method Return Types Examples •  Methods must return data that matches their return type: public void printString(){ System.out.println("Hello"); }  Void methods cannot return values in Java.  public String returnString(){ return("Hello"); } public int sum(int x, int y){ return(x + y); } public boolean isGreater(int x, int y){ return(x > y); }  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  Void methods and constructors should not have a return statement. Void methods are incapable of returning a value in Java. The type of value a method returns must match the return type you declare. For instance, a boolean type method must return a boolean. A String type method must return a String.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 8 - 14  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Method Return Animation •  The following code examples produce equivalent results: public static void main(String[] args){ int num1 = 1, num2 = 2; int result = num1 + num2; System.out.println(result); } public static void main(String[] args){ int num1 = 1, num2 = 2; int result = = sum( sum(num1, num2); num1 int result 1 3, num2 2 ); System.out.println(result); } public int sum sum(int x, y){ (int , int ){ 1 x 2 y return(x y); x1 + y return( ); 3 2 } } Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

This method does not return a value. • The example at top of the slide shows the setCustomerServices method in the ShoppingCart class invoking the methods of a Customer object by using dot notation (object_reference.method). - In line 4, isNewCustomer is called on the cust object reference. Because the method returns a boolean, the method invocation becomes a boolean expression evaluated by the if statement. - In line 6, sendEmail is called on the cust object reference, passing the message string as an argument.

All rights reserved.  Why are methods useful? To answer that question, take a look at this code without methods. For every instance of the Shirt object that you want to create, you need many more lines of code to edit each object. Methods can help this code be more efficient and less cumbersome to work with.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 8 - 18  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Better Code with Methods 1 public static void main(String[] args){ 2 Shirt shirt01 = new Shirt(); Shirt shirt02 = new Shirt(); 3 Shirt shirt03 = new Shirt(); 4 5 Shirt shirt04 = new Shirt(); 6 7 shirt01.setFields("Sailor", 'B', 30); 8 shirt02.setFields("Sweatshirt", 'G', 25); 9 shirt03.setFields("Skull Tee", 'B', 15); 10 shirt04.setFields("Tropical", 'R', 20); 11 } 1 public class Shirt { 2 public String description; 3 public char colorCode; 4 public double price; 5 6 public void setFields(String desc, char color, double price){ 7 this.description = desc; 8 this.colorCode = color; 9 this.price = price; 10 } 11 … Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  With a little bit of extra coding in the Shirt class, we can create a method that sets all the appropriate fields. This reduces the amount of code needed in the main method to create and edit Shirt objects.

All rights reserved.  Taking advantage of a Shirt constructor can further reduce the amount of code needed in the main method. Another issue is maintenance. Imagine if you wanted to change the constructor so that the color passed in is a String, but the instance variable, colorCode, remains a char type. You could create a method setColor that receives a String as an argument and then modifies it so that it sets colorCode correctly. Remember, methods can call other methods (as shown by the call to setColor).

All rights reserved.  This code illustrates the scope of two different types of variables. Variables live in the block where they are defined. This is called "scope." The scope of a variable determines its accessibility and also how long you can count on its value to persist. • The colorCode variable is an instance variable, usually called a field. It is a member of the Shirt class. It is accessible from any code within this class. The value of fit is stored only during the lifespan of an instance. • theColor is a local variable. It is accessible only from within the setColor method. The value of theColor is deleted from memory when the method ends. Another way of saying this is that its scope is the setColor method. • •  Regardless of whether a local variable is declared within a method, a loop (discussed later), or an if statement, its scope is always the block within which it is declared. In the example above, the setColor method uses the charAt method of the String object to extract the first character in the theColor String. It assigns it to the fit instance variable, which is a char.  Note: Local variables are stored in short-term memory, called "the stack," whereas instance variables (fields) are stored in a longer-term area of memory called "the heap."

It means the method/variable: • Belongs to the class and is shared by all objects of that class • Is not unique to an object instance • Can be accessed without instantiating the class Comparison: • A static variable is shared by all objects in a class. • An instance variable is unique to an individual object.

So far you learned how to access variables and methods by creating an object instance of the class that the variable or method belongs to. The Java language allows you to declare a variable or method as static. This means that you can access it without creating an object instance of the class.

These values can be used without instantiating ItemSizes. •  •  The code snippet shown in the middle of the slide shows an Item object being instantiated and then the setSize method of the Item object is invoked, passing in ItemSizes.mMed as an argument.

All rights reserved.  Variables and methods that are unique to an instance are referred to as instance variables or methods. If they are accessed from an object of another class, you qualify the reference with the object reference (shirt01.size). • When accessing a static variable or method from an object of a different class, you qualify the reference with the class name as shown above: ItemSizes.setMSmall("Men's Small") or ItemSizes.mSmall • •  If you are referencing the static variable or method from within the class, there is no need to qualify it. The main method is an example of a static method. As you know, it is used as the entry point to an application. Because the main method is static, the Java runtime can implicitly invoke it on the class without first instantiating the class.

Static methods cannot access instance methods or fields. Why? 1 public class Item{ 2 int itemID; 3 public Item(){ 4 setId(); 5 } 6 static int getID(){ 7 // whose itemID?? 8 }  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The code example above illustrates why a static method is not allowed to access an instance method or field. • itemID is an instance variable. That means that each Item object has its own (presumably) unique itemID. In this example, its value is set in the constructor. • The getID method is static, so it can be invoked even if there are no Item objects created. Instance methods and fields are only available by referencing the individual object instance.

All rights reserved.  The code example above shows a more complex example of an Item class that has an instance variable instanceItemID and a static variable staticItemID. In its main method, it instantiates an object referenced by item01. Look at the six lines of code and see the explanations below for why some work and some do not. 1. staticItemID is a static variable, and referenced from within a static method, main, so it does not need to access an instance. 2. instanceItemID is an instance variable, and referenced from within a static method, main, so it cannot be accessed unless a reference points to the particular object whose instance variable needs to be set. 3. showItemID() is a call to an instance method, and referenced from within a static method, main, so it cannot be accessed without a reference. 4. item01.showItemID() is a call to an instance method, but in this case the reference points to the particular object whose instance method needs to be called. 5. ...println(staticItemID) refers to a static variable, but it is referred to from an instance. Instances can always access static variables. 6. ...println(instanceItemID refers to an instance variable, but it is referred to from an instance. No object reference is given, so it accesses the instance variable on the object itself.

All rights reserved.  Certain Java class libraries, such as the System and the Math class, contain only static methods and variables. The System class contains utility methods for handling operating system–specific tasks. (They do not operate on an object instance.) For example, the getProperties() method of the System class gets information about the computer that you are using. The Math class contains utility methods for math operations. Because these methods and variables are static, you do not need to create a new object every time you want your program to do some math.

System is a class in java.lang. Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The next few slides show how you might use the Java API documentation to find out more about System.out.println(). As you will see, this is a little unusual, because the class that has the methods that you need to investigate is not System. Rather, it is the class that is the type of the out field of the System object. Consider the following: System is a class (in java.lang). out is a static field of System. This is the reason that you reference it from the class name, not from an object instance: System.out out is a reference type that allows calling println() on the object type it references. To find the documentation: 1. Go to System class and find the type of the out field. 2. Go to the documentation for that field. 3. Review the methods available.

Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The diagram shows the Field Summary for the class System. Here, you can see that there is indeed a field called out, and it is of type PrintStream. By clicking PrintStream, you can now see the details for that class and, if you scroll down to the Method Summary, you will find (among many other methods) the print method and the println method. The print method is very similar to println, except that it does not create a new line after printing, like println does. Example: println("Hello"); Hello Hello  println("Hello") yields the following output:  Print("Hello, "); print("Hello "); yields the following output: Hello, Hello  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 8 - 35  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  More Static Fields and Methods in the Java API Java provides wrapper classes for each of the primitive data types. • Boolean: Contains a single field of type boolean • Double: Contains a single field of type double • Integer: Contains a single field of type int They also provide utility methods to work with the data.  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  A wrapper class is a class with the same name as one of the primitive data types. Wrapper classes are instantiated to contain a single value of the primitive type. Integer myInt = new Integer(10); These are very useful classes because they provide methods to help you work with the primitive values stored within.  Java SE 8 Fundamentals 8 - 36  Unauthorized reproduction or distribution prohibitedฺ Copyright 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliatesฺ  Converting Data Values •  Methods often need to convert an argument to a different type. • Most of the object classes in the JDK provide various conversion methods. Examples: • Converting a String to an int int myInt1 = Integer.parseInt(s_Num);  •  Converting a String to a double double myDbl = Double.parseDouble(s_Num);  •  Converting a String to boolean boolean myBool = Boolean.valueOf(s_Bool);  Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.  The examples show static conversion methods for Integer, Double, and Boolean. There are also some conversion methods for the object classes (Integer, Double, and so on) that are not static. These methods are invoked on an object reference for one of these classes and convert the value of that specific object.

All rights reserved.  An object reference is not the same as the object. It simply provides a reference for access to that object. This is similar to the way a house address provides directions for finding a particular house. In the graphic above, the house (call it myHouse) has an address (the myHouse reference) of 101. When the painter gets this address, he jots it down in his notebook (he makes a copy of it). This enables the house painter to find the house and paint it. When you send an object reference as an argument to a method, you are sending a copy of the reference—not the object nor the actual reference. The receiving method has the information it needs to act directly upon the object itself.

The object reference (myHouse) has changed to point to a new house, but the notation in the painter's notebook still refers to the old house. If the owner expects the new house to be painted, he or she will be disappointed.

When a method is invoked, the values of the arguments are used to initialize the parameter variables before the body of the method is executed. This is true for both primitive types and reference types. (Objects are not passed to methods.) In the example shown in the slide, the reference myShirt is passed by value into the changeShirtColor method. The reference, theShirt is assigned the value of the myShirt reference (the address). They now both point to the same object, so the change to the color made using theShirt is printed out by accessing myShirt.color. Note: The call to the changeShirtColor method is made from the main method, which is static. Remember that a static method can only access other static methods. The changeShirtColor method is also static.

All rights reserved.  Here is another example with a small change in the code of the changeShirtColor() method. In this example, the reference value passed into the method is assigned to a new shirt. The reference now points to a different Shirt object than the myShirt reference does. As before, the Shirt.color is changed to 'B'. The println method called on line 6 shows the color of the myShirt object still is 'U' (Unset). These references point to two different Shirt objects. This illustrates that the reference myShirt is indeed passed by value. Changes made to a reference passed into a worker method (reassignment to a different object, for instance) do not affect the references in the calling method.

All rights reserved.  The diagram in the slide shows the situation that results from the code in the previous slide. When myShirt is passed into the changeShirtColor() method, a new reference variable, theShirt, is initialized with the value of myShirt. Initially, this reference points to the object that the myShirt reference points to. But after a new Shirt is assigned to theShirt, any changes made using theShirt affect only this new Shirt object.

With method overloading, you can create several methods with the same name and different signatures. The first sum method accepts two int arguments and returns an int value. The second sum method accepts two float arguments and returns a float value. The third sum method accepts an int and a float as arguments and returns a float. The callout shows the part of the method declaration that is called the method signature. The method signature of a method is the unique combination of the method name and the number, types, and order of its parameters. The method signature does not include the return type. To invoke any of the sum methods, the compiler compares the method signature in your method invocation against the method signatures in a class.
