Overview-Java

S.REVATHI AP/CSE
Entering the Program
A source file is officially called a compilation unit. It is a text file that
contains one or more class definitions.
The Java compiler requires that a source file use the .java filename
extension.
In Java, all code must reside inside a class.
Name of that class should match the name of the file that holds the
program.
Java is case-sensitive.
Make sure that the capitalization of the filename matches the class
name
Compiling the Program
To compile the Example program,
C:\>javac Example.java
The javac compiler creates a file called Example.class that contains
the bytecode version of the program.
To run the Example program
C:\>java Example
1st simple program

2nd simple program

CODING DEMOS
Two Control Statements
1.if Statement:
The Java if statement works much like the IF statement in any other
language.
Syntactically identical to the if statements in C, C++, and C#.

if(condition) statement;
Here, condition is a Boolean expression. If condition is true, then the
statement is executed.If condition is false, then the statement is bypassed.
Example:
if(num < 100) System.out.println("num is less than 100");
2.for Loop
for(initialization; condition; iteration) statement;

Example:

for(x=0; x<10; x=x+1)


Using Blocks of Code
Java allows two or more statements to be grouped into blocks of code, also called code
blocks.
This is done by enclosing the statements between opening and closing curly braces.
Once a block of code has been created, it becomes a logical unit that can be used any
place that a single statement can.
Example:

if(x < y) {
// begin a block
x = y;
y = 0;
} // end of block
Lexical Issues
Java programs are a collection of:
whitespace
identifiers
literals
comments
operators
separators
keywords.
Whitespace
Java is a free-form language. This means we do not need to follow
any special indentation rules.

For instance, the Example program could have been written all on
one line or in any other strange way you felt like typing it,

At least one whitespace character between each token

In Java, whitespace is a space, tab, or newline


Identifiers
Identifiers are used for class names, method names, and variable names.

An identifier may be any descriptive sequence of uppercase and lowercase


letters, numbers, or the underscore and dollar-sign characters.
They must not begin with a number, lest they be confused with numeric literal.

Again, Java is case-sensitive, so VALUE is a different identifier than Value.

AvgTemp count a4 $test this_is_ok

2count high-temp Not/ok


Literals
A constant value in Java is created by using a literal
representation of it.
For example, here are some literals:

100 98.6 'X' "This is a test"


Comments
Single-line
Multiline
Documentation comment.
This type of comment is used to produce an HTML file that
documents your program.
The documentation comment begins with a /** and ends with a
*/.
Separators
The Java Keywords

Java reserves the following: true, false, and null


The Java Class Libraries
Two of Java’s built-in methods in Example:println( ) and print( )
These methods are members of the System class, which is a
class predefined
Java environment relies on several built-in class libraries that
contain many built-in methods that provide support for: I/O,
string handling, networking, and graphics.
Learning to use the standard Java classes
