Using Objects
Chapter 3Fall 2006CS 101Aaron Bloomfield
2
Getting classy Purpose of this chapter
Gain experience creating and manipulating objects from the standard Java types
Why Prepares you for defining your own classes and creating
and manipulating the objects of those classes
3
Values versus objects Numbers
Have values but they do not have behaviors In particular, each has only ONE value (or attribute)
Objects Have attributes and behaviors An object can have multiple values (or attributes)
4
Using objects First, we create an object:
Scanner stdin = new Scanner (System.in);
Most object creation lines look like this
Then we use the object stdin.nextInt(); stdin.nextDouble();
Note that we could have called the object foo, bar, or anything stdin is just what we chose to call it
5
Using Rectangle objects Let’s create some Rectangle objects
Rectangle creation: Rectangle r = new Rectangle (10, 20);
Objects have attributes (or properties): System.out.println (r.width); System.out.println (r.height);
Objects have behaviors (or methods): r.grow (10, 20); r.isEmpty(); r.setLocation (5,4);
6
Using String objects Let’s create some String objects
String creation: String s = new String (“Hello world”);
Objects have attributes (or properties): But we can’t access them…
Objects have behaviors (or methods): s.substring(0,6); s.indexOf (“world”); s.toLowerCase();
7
The lowdown on objects Objects are “things” that have properties (attributes) and
behaviors (methods)
We first create one or more objects
We then manipulate their properties and call their methods
8
So why bother with objects? Let’s say you want to do a lot of String manipulation
Once you create a String object, all the manipulation methods are contained therein Sun already wrote the methods for us
So we can use String objects instead of writing our own code to get the substring, indexOf, etc.
9
More on Strings Strings are used very often
As a shortcut, you can use: String s = “Hello world”;instead of: String s = new String (“Hello world”);
It’s just a shortcut that Java allows
The two lines are almost the same There is a minor difference between the two
Which we’ll get to later
10

Review Variables of primitive types
int, double, char, boolean, etc. Can assign a value to it Can read a value from it Can’t do much else!
Objects String, Rectangle, etc. Have many parts
Rectangle has width, length, etc. Like a complex type Have methods
String has length(), substring(), etc.
16
String methods
length(): returns the String’s length (duh!)
String s = “hello world”;String t = “goodbye”;System.out.println (s.length());System.out.println (t.length());
Prints 11 and 7
Note that calling s.length() is different than calling t.length()! Both return the length But of different Strings
17
More String methods Consider
String weddingDate = "August 21, 1976";String month = weddingDate.substring(0, 6);System.out.println("Month is " + month + ".");
What is the output?Month is August.
18
More String methods Consider
String fruit = "banana";String searchString = "an";
int n1 = fruit.indexOf(searchString, 0);int n2 = fruit.indexOf(searchString, n1 + 1);int n3 = fruit.indexOf(searchString, n2 + 1);
System.out.println("First search: " + n1);System.out.println("Second search: " + n2);System.out.println("Third search: " + n3);
What is the output?First search: 1Second search: 3Third search: -1

Classes vs. ObjectsClasses vs. Objects
29
Variables vs. Types The type is the recipe or template for how to create a variable
Examples: int, double, char, boolean, etc. There are only 8 primitive types
There are only a few things you can do with a type: Declare a variable
int x; Use it as a cast
x = (int) 3.5; There is only one of each type
The variable is the actual instance of a type in memory It’s a spot in memory where you store a value You choose the name: width, x, thatThemThereValue, etc. You can have as may variables as you want – but only one type!
Like the difference between a recipe and a bunch of cookies
30
How well do we understand How well do we understand variables versus types?variables versus types?
31
Classes vs. Objects A class is a user-defined “thing”
Examples: String, Scanner, Rectangle, etc. We’ll start defining our own classes later this semester
Classes are more complex than the primitive types A class is analogous to a type
It’s just more complex and user-defined There can be only one class of each name
An object is an instance of a class There is only one String class, but you can have 100
String objects A object is analogous to a variable
It just is a reference instead
A class is a “template” used for creating objects

Note that d does not have a value

37
What is a reference A reference is a memory address
References are like pointers in C/C++ But they are not the exact same thing! C++ has references also (in addition to pointers) You may hear me call them pointers instead of references
All objects in Java are declared as references
38
References 1 Consider:
int j = 5;String s = “Hello world”;
Java translates that last line into:String s = new String (“Hello world”);
(Not really, but close enough for now)
Note that there is no “new” here
39

String s = “I love CS 101”;int l = s.length();char c = s.charAt (3);String t = s.subString(1,2);int t = s.indexOf (t, 0);
A period means “follow the reference”
42
Shorthand represntation Consider:
String s = “Hello world”;
Takes up a lot of space on my slides…
So we’ll use a shorthand representation:
s
+ length () : int + charAt ( int i ) : char
+ subString ( int m, int n ) : String+ indexOf ( String s, int m ) : int
+ ...
String
- text = “Hello world"- length = 11- ...
“Hello world" s
43
Examples Consider
String a = "excellence“;String b = a;
What is the representation?
"excellence"a
b
45
Consider:String s1 = “first string”;String s2 = “second string”;s2 = s1;System.out.println (s2);
“first string”
References 3
String s1
String s2
“second string”
What happensto this?
String s1 = “first string”;String s2 = “second string”;s2 = s1;System.out.println (s2);
46
Java’s garbage collection If an object in memory does not have a reference pointing to
it, Java will automagically delete the object
This is really cool!
In C/C++, you had to do this by yourself

Uninitialized versus null Consider
String fontName = null;Scanner fileStream = null;
What is the representation?
nullfontName

51
The null reference Sometimes you want a reference to point to nothing
Use the null reference:String s = null;
The null reference is equivalent to a memory address of zero (0x00000000) No user program can exist there
52
The null reference Consider:
String s = “Hello world”;System.out.println (s.length());
What happens?
Java prints out 11
s
+ length () : int + charAt ( int i ) : char
+ subString ( int m, int n ) : String+ indexOf ( String s, int m ) : int
+ ...
String
- text = “Hello world"- length = 11- ...
53
The null reference Consider:
String s = null;System.out.println (s.length());
This is called accessing (or following) a null pointer/reference
What happens? Java: java.lang.NullPointerException C/C++: Segmentation fault (core dumped) Windows: …
5454
What happens in Windows…What happens in Windows…
55
So what is a null reference good for?
Let’s say you had a method that returned a String when passed some parameters Normally it returns a valid String
But what if it can’t? How to deal with that?
Return a null reference
56
References and memory Most modern computers are 32-bit computers
This means that a reference takes up 32 bits 232 = 4 Gb
This means that a 32-bit machine cannot access more than 4 Gb of memory! Well, without doing some “tricks”, at least Most machines come with 1 Gb memory these days Will come with 4 Gb in a year or so
64-bit machines will have a maximum of 16 exabytes of memory Giga, Tera, Peta, Exa That’s 16 billion Gb!

Scanner review To initialize a Scanner object:
Scanner stdin = new Scanner (System.in); Scanner stdin = Scanner.create (System.in);
This one will not work!
To read an int from the keyboard: stdin.nextInt();
To read a double from the keyboard: stdin.nextDouble();
To read a String from the keyboard: stdin.next();
73

OverloadingOverloading
77
Overloading Consider the ‘+’ operator
It can mean integer addition: 3+5 = 8 It can mean floating-point addition: 3.0+5.0 = 8.0 It can mean string concatenation: “foo” + “bar” =
“foobar”
The ‘+’ operator has multiple “things” it can do a.k.a. the ‘+’ operator is overloaded
78
More on overloading We’ve seen a number of methods
In the String class: substring(), charAt(), indexOf(), etc. In the Rectangle class: setLocation(), translate()
Consider the substring() method in the String class One version: s.substring(3)
This will return a string from the 4th character on Another version: s.substring (3,6)
This version will return a string from the character at index 3 up to (but not including!) the character at index 6
There are multiple versions of the same method Differentiated by their parameter list
The substring method can take one OR two parameters This is called overloading
79
More on more on overloading Consider the valueOf() method in the String class
String.valueOf (3) The parameter is an int
String.valueOf (3.5) The parameter is a double
String.valueOf (‘3’) The parameter is a char
There are multiple versions of this method Differentiated by their parameter list Thus, the valueOf() method is overloaded
8080
More on methodsMore on methods
81
Accessors Some methods allow us to find out information about an
object In the Rectangle class: getWidth(), getHeight() These methods are called accessors
They allow us to access attributes of the object An accessor is a method that allows us to find out
attributes of object Usually start with get in the method name I won’t use this terminology much, but the book uses it
82
Mutators
Some methods allow us to set information about the object In the Rectangle class: setLocation(), setBounds() These methods are called mutators
They allow us to change (or mutate) the attributes of an object
A mutator is a method that allows us to set attributes of object
Usually start with set in the method name I won’t use this terminology much, but the book uses it
83
Constructors A constructor is a special method called ONLY when you are
creating (or constructing) and object The name of the constructor is ALWAYS the exact same
name as the class
Scanner stdin = new Scanner (System.in); String foo = new String (“hello world”);
There can be overloaded constructors Rectangle r = new Rectangle(); Rectangle s = new Rectangle (1, 2, 3, 4);
84
Calling the Circle constructor To create a Circle object:
Circle c1 = new Circle();
This does four things: Creates the c1 reference Creates the Circle object Makes the c1 reference point
to the Circle object Calls the constructor with no
parameters (the ‘default’ constructor)
The constructor is always the first method called when creating (or ‘constructing’) an object
c1
Circle
- radius = 0.0- PI = 3.14159…- …
+ Circle()+ Circle (double r)+ …
85
Calling the Circle constructor To create a Circle object:
Circle c1 = new Circle(2.0);
This does four things: Creates the c1 reference Creates the Circle object Makes the c1 reference point
to the Circle object Calls the constructor with 1
double parameters (the ‘specific’constructor)
The constructor is always the first method called when creating (or ‘constructing’) an object
c1
Circle
- radius = 0.0- PI = 3.14159…- …
+ Circle()+ Circle (double r)+ …
Circle
- radius = 2.0- PI = 3.14159…- …
+ Circle()+ Circle (double r)+ …
86
Constructor varieties The default constructor usually sets the attributes of an
object to default values But that’s not why it’s called default (we’ll get to that
later) The default constructor ALWAYS takes in zero parameters
Thus, there can be only one
A specific constructor sets the attributes of the object to the passed values We’ll get to why it’s called a specific constructor later The specific constructor takes in one or more parameters There can be more than one (via overloading)
87
Method types review With the exception of constructors, these names are purely
for human categorization
Accessor: allows one to access parts of the object Mutator: allows one to change (mutate) a part of an object Constructor: used to create a object
Default constructor: takes in no parameters Specific constructor: takes in one or more parameters
Facilitator Any method that is not one of the above

Java packages Group similar classes together
Packages we will use: java.lang: automatically imported by Java
Contains the clases needed by the Java language java.util: contains Scanner, Vector, etc.
Contains various utility classes java.text: we will use it later in the semester
Contains classes used to manipulate text
Any package (other than java.lang) must be imported to use the classes within it

94
Last semester’s HW J2 Found online at
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~asb/teaching/cs101-fall05/hws/hwj2/index.html The HW listed 10 steps to be performed
Used the StringBuffer class Which can be found at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/StringBuffer.html
Strings are immutable Meaning that once you create a String, you can never
change it There are no mutator methods
You can change what the String reference points to, but not the String itself
95
Preliminaries
import java.util.*;
public class StringBufferManipulator { public static void main (String args[]) {
// Preliminaries System.out.println ("StringBuffer manipulator\n"); Scanner stdin = new Scanner (System.in);
// Code for steps 1 to 10 will go here
}}
96
Step 1 The user needs to enter two strings: one long string (say, 10
or so characters at a minimum) and a shorter string that is contained within the longer string. This input should be obtained via the nextLine() method,
as using the next() method will not read in a string that contains spaces.
// Step 1System.out.println ("Enter a long string");String longString = stdin.nextLine();System.out.print ("\nEnter a shorter string within “);System.out.println (“the long string");String shortString = stdin.nextLine();System.out.println ();
97
Step 2 Create a StringBuffer object from the longer string -- this is
the StringBuffer that you will manipulate for the rest of the homework. There are two ways to do this: create a default constructred StringBuffer, and append() the long string to that, or use the StringBuffer with the appropriate specific constructor.
// Step 2StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(longString);
98
Step 3 Include, as a comment in your program, the code for creating
the StringBuffer in the other way from step 2.
// Step 3// StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();// buffer.append(longString();
99
Step 4 Find the position of the small string within the StringBuffer,
and save that position.
// Step 4int pos = buffer.indexOf(shortString);
100100
These images are not These images are not animated…animated…
101
Step 5 Delete the small string from the StringBuffer, and print out
the result.
// Step 5int shortLength = shortString.length();buffer.delete (pos, pos+shortLength);System.out.println (buffer);
102
Step 6 Insert "CS101" into the position of the StringBuffer where the
small string was originally found (from step 3), and print out the result
// Step 6buffer.insert (pos, "CS101");System.out.println (buffer);
103
Step 7 Remove the last word from the string. You can assume that
everything from the last space (found via lastIndexOf()) to the end of the String is the last word. Print out the result.
// Step 7pos = buffer.lastIndexOf(" ");int bufferLength = buffer.length();buffer.delete(pos, bufferLength);System.out.println (buffer);
104
Step 8 Append " rocks" to the end of the StringBuffer, and print out
the result. Note that there is a space before the work 'rocks'.
// Step 8buffer.append (" rocks");System.out.println (buffer);
105
Step 9 Delete the character at position n/2, where n is the length of
the StringBuffer. Print out the result.
// Step 9int n = buffer.length();buffer.deleteCharAt (n/2);System.out.println (buffer);
