What is Java?

Java is just a small, simple, safe,

object-oriented, interpreted or
dynamically optimized, byte-coded,
architecture-neutral, garbage-
collected, multithreaded programming
language with a strongly typed
exception-handling mechanism for
writing distributed, dynamically
extensible programs.

Small, simple, safe and garbage

collected
• C++ minus (pointers and memory
management have been omitted;
operator overloading and multiple
inheritance have been omitted)
• garbage collector automatically frees
unused memory
• strict type checking mechanism (most
errors are detected at compile time)

Two types of Java programs

Applets are programs written in Java

programming language that reside on
WWW servers, are downloaded by a
browser to a client’s system, and are run
by that browser.
Applications are standalone programs
that do not require a Web browser to
execute. They are typically general-purpose
programs that run on any machine where
the Java runtime environment (JRE) is
installed.

Literals
- represent data in Java, and are based on character and
number representations.
- types of literals : integer, floating-point, boolean,
character,
and string.
- every variable consists of a literal and a data type; the
difference between the two is that literals are entered
explicitly into the code, while data types are information
about how much room will be reserved in memory for
such
variable, as well as possible value ranges.

Types of Literals
1. Integer Literals
- whole numbers such as 8 and 1930.
- can either be decimal(base 10), octal (base 8) or
Java Programminghexadecimal
Language (base 16).
 University of the Philippines Cebu College

Integer Literal Types

a. Decimal Literals
- decimal literals cannot start with 0, as in 02364, because
numbers beginning with 0 are reserved for octal and
hex literals.
- decimal literals : any combination from 0-9.

b. Octal Literals
- start with 0 and can be followed by any number 0-7.

c. Hex Literals
- start with 0x or 0X, followed by one or more hex digits.
- letters A-F in hex integer can either be in upper or lower
case.
- values available : 1-9, A-F, and 1-f.

Java Programming Language

 University of the Philippines Cebu College

. Floating-Point Literals
- represents a number that has a decimal point in it such as 4.8

Single-Precision Floating Point Numbers

- consist of a 32-bit space and are designated by uppercase
or lowercase f.

Double-Precision Floating Point Numbers

- consist of a 64-bit space and are designated by uppercase
or lowercase d.

- by default, unless specified, compiler assumes double-precisio

- therefore 4.8, is a double-precision floating-point number, and
4.8f is a single-precision floating-point number.

Java Programming Language

 University of the Philippines Cebu College

When to use Single-Precision or Double-Precision Floats ?

- it depends on the size of the number, like if there’s a
room to grow out of range or there’s a need of
greater precision, declare it double.
- compile-time errors occur if a nonzero float literal is out
of range.

Range :
Single-Precision : ±1.40239846e-45f to ±3.40282347e+38f
Double-Precision: 4.94065645841246544e-324 to
±1.79769313486231570e+308

- Floating-point numbers can also be expressed using

exponents using uppercase or lowercase e, and
scientific notations.
Example : 2.1e3f = 2100
Java Programming Language
 University of the Philippines Cebu College

Boolean Literals

- either of the words true or false.

- unlike other programming language, you cannot
alternate numeric values such any nonzero for true
and zero(0) for false.

- Booleans are used extensively in control flow logic.

Java Programming Language

 University of the Philippines Cebu College

Character Literals

- programmers often use single character as a value,

and in Java, this is represented by character literals.

- value : character enclosed in single quotes like ‘j’

- values such as a single quote, backslash, or other

nonprintable characters are preceded by a
backslash(\) to be part of the command.

Example : to characterize the single quote

--> ‘\’’

Java Programming Language

Specifying Character Literals

Description or Escape Sequence Output
Sequence
Any character 'y' y
Backspace(BS) '\b' Backspace
Horizontal tab (HT) '\t' Tab
Linefeed(LF) '\n' Linefeed
Formfeed(FF) '\f' Form feed
Carriage return (CR) '\r' Carriage return
Double quote '\"' "
Single quote '\'' '
Backslash '\\' \
Octal bit pattern '\ddd' Octal value of ddd
Hex bit pattern '\xdd' Hex value of ddd
Unicode character '\udddd' Actual unicode character
of dddd

Java Programming Language

 University of the Philippines Cebu College

String Literals
- sequence of characters enclosed in double quotes
such
as “Hello World !!!”, or even a “” for a null
character string.

- can be concatenated.
Example :
“This is the beginning“ -- one string
“ of a new relationship.” -- another
string

“This is the beginning” + “ of a new relationship.”

- As with character literals, the backslash is used to

Separators

- Java uses the following separators :

() [] {} ; , .

- compiler uses these to divide the code into segments.

- can also be used to force arithmetic precedence

evaluation within an expression.

- as known, these are useful for visual and logical

locators for programmers.

Java Programming Language

 University of the Philippines Cebu College

Operators
- are symbols used for arithmetic and logical operations.
- operators except the plus sign (+), are used only for
arithmetic calculations. The + operator can be used
in strings literal concatenation.

Java Arithmetic Operators

Operator Operation Example
+ Addition a + b
- Subtraction a - b
* Multiplication a * B
/ Division a / b
% Modulus a % b

Java Assignment Operators

Operator Operation Example Meaning
= Assign value a = 8 a = 8
+= Add to current variable a += b a = a + b
-= Subtract from current a -= b a = a - b
*= Multiply current a *= b a = a * b
/= Divide current a /= b a = a / b
%= Modulus current a %= b a = a % b
Java Increment and Decrement Operators
Operator Operation Example Meaning
++ Increment by 1 a++ or ++a a = a + 1
Decrement by 1 a-- or --a a = a - 1
--
Java Programming Language

Java comparison operators (which return true or false)

Operator Operation Example Meaning
== Equal A == b Is a equal to b ?
!= Not equal A != b Is a not equal to
b?
< Less than A < b Is a less than b?
> Greater than A > b Is a greater than
b?
<= Less than or A <= b Is a less than or
equal equal to b?
>= Greater than or A >= b Is a greater than
equal or equal to b?

Reference Data Types

- are sequence or identifiers that point to

Casting 
If information might be lost in an assignment, the 
programmer must confirm the assignment with a cast. 
•The assignment between long and int requires an explicit 
cast.
 long bigValue = 99L;
int squashed = bigValue; // Wrong, needs a cast
int squashed = (int) bigValue; // OK

int squashed = 99L; // Wrong, needs a cast

int squashed = (int) 99L; // OK, but...
int squashed = 99; // default integer literal

Java Programming Language

Promotion and Casting of Expressions 
•Variables are automatically promoted to a longer form 
(such as int to long). 
•Expression is assignment­compatible if the variable type is 
at least as large (the same number of bits) as the 
expression type. 

long bigval = 6; // 6 is an int type, OK

int smallval = 99L; // 99L is a long, illegal

double z = 12.414F; // 12.414F is float, OK

float z1 = 12.414; // 12.414 is double, illegal

Control Flow

- instructs the program how to make a decision and how

further processing should proceed based on the decision.

Building Blocks of Control Flow

( , ) , if , while , do, for, switch

- each of these can be used to control how your

program executes by determining the result of your
conditional expression.

Blocks and Statements

Statement

- is a line of code ending in a semicolon.

- can either be an expression, a method call, or an declaration.

Block

- is a group of statements that form a single compound stmt.

- { } collects statements into one group

Java Programming Language

Conditional Expressions

- are used to evaluate whether a condition is true or false

and will branch out to different sections of code on the
basis of the answer.

switch construct
- a variation of the if statement is the switch statement, which
performs a multi-way branch instead of a simple binary
branch.
