Week 2b: Review of Week 1, Variables

Java Byte CodeOp code: 1 byteLengths of instructions: varyLocal variables: indexed 0, 1, 2, …Working memory: stackPrefix i: integer

iload_0 // push value of local variable 0 onto stackiconst_2 // push 2 onto stackimul // pop stack twice, multiply numbers, push result

onto stackistore_0 //pop stack, store result in local variable 0

My First Programpublic class HelloPrinter{

/* every Java program consists of one or more classes. This program has only one class.

By convention, class names begin with a capital letter. */

/* reserved word public: class available to all users. */

MFP 2public class HelloPrinter{

public static void main(String[] args){

/* The class HelloPrinter contains a single method: main.Reserved word static: main is available for use.Reserved word void: main does not return a value.String[] args: type of arguments for main. Not used in ITP

*/}

}


MFP 3System.out.println(“Hello, World”);

/* System.out: object available for use in the program.System.out.println: method which is applied to the (hidden) data in System.out.“Hello, World”: string which is a parameter for the method System.out.println

Edit->Compile->Run Every statement ends with ; Brackets occur in nested pairs {{…} …

Investment Problem

You put £10,000 into a bank account that earns 5% interest per year. How many years does it take for the account balance to be double the original?

(JFE, Section 1.7)


Solution to Investment Problem

Initial balance: £10000 Interest rate: 5% per year Interest earned after 1 year: 10000*5/100 = 500 Balance after 1 year: initial amount+interest = 10000+500 = 10000*1.05 Balance after two years: 10000*1.05*1.05 Balance after three years: 10000*1.05*1.05*1.05


Program

public class AccountBalance{


System.out.println(10000*1.05*1.05*1.05);/* Include additional factors 1.05 until a

number greater than or equal to 20000 is printed. The method is crude but it works. */}

Variable Declaration

int cansPerPack=6;

/* cansPerPack: name of the variable Reserved word int: type of the variable 6: value of the variable */


Variable Declaration 2

double canVolume=0.355;

/* canVolume: name of the variable Reserved word double: type of the

variable 0.355: value of the variable*/


Input from the Key Board 1

In the very first line of your program file write

import java.util.Scanner;

java.util is a package, i.e. a collection of classes with a related purpose. java.util.Scanner is the class Scanner in the package java.util.

The class Scanner has already been written. It is used to read input from the key board.

For other classes in java.util, see JFE, Appendix D.



In your program, create an object in which belongs to the class Scanner

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

The reserved word new indicates that a new object is to be created. The new object is of type Scanner. The argument System.in is an object which identifies the key board as the source of input.

The left most Scanner is analogous to a type declaration such as int or double.

The leftmost in can be replaced by any legitimate name of a variable.



Use the object in to read from the key board

int bottles = in.nextInt();

in.nextInt is a method in the object in. When this method is called, as in the above statement, it reads an integer which is typed at the key board.

To assign the value 65 to the variable bottle, type 65 at the key board, followed by Enter (or Return).

For further methods in objects belonging to the class Scanner, see JFE Appendix D.


Example Programimport java.util.Scanner;public class TestInput{


System.out.print(“Enter the number of bottles: ”);Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);int bottles = in.nextInt();System.out.println(“The number of bottles is

”+bottles);}

}


Operations with Strings 1

String str = "Ja"; // Declare the string variable str. Set it to "Ja".

str = str+"va"; /* The symbol + specifies string concatenation. str is set

to "Java". */

String greeting = "H & S";int n = greeting.length();/* The method greeting.length returns the length of the

string that is the value of the string variable greeting. In this case n is set to 5. */


Operations with Strings 2String str = "Sally";String str2 = str.substring(1,4);/* Extract from str the substring starting at position 1 and

ending immediately before position 4. Set str2 equal to this substring (str2 now has the value "all"). Note that string indexing begins with 0. */

String str = "Sally";String str3 = str.substring(1);/* Set str3 equal to the substring of str that starts at

position 1 and includes all the characters in str up to and including the last character. Thus str3 now has the value "ally". */
