3.1 Data Types: Using Objects
Data type. Set of values and operations on those values.
Primitive types. “Built-in” for a language. Basic “building blocks” Usually single values. Operations directly translate to machine instructions.
OK, but we want to write programs that process other types of data. Colors, pictures, strings, input streams, … Complex numbers, vectors, matrices, polynomials, … Points, polygons, charged particles, celestial bodies, …

Remember Abstraction? Hiding details…. One principle of “computational thinking.”
When we use data types, keep these things in mind: We don’t have to understand exactly how bits are stored in the
machine. We have an “information model” (or set of values), and… We have operations to use -- even if we don’t know exactly how
they’re implemented!
Question for you: If operations hide details and are a form of abstraction, can you
think of something else we’ve done in Java that is also an example of this “procedural abstraction”?

Data Types and Abstraction
Reference type. In Java, not a simple, basic data type. Arrays are one kind of reference type. Object types are another.
– Examples: String, In “Class” means data type that’s an object
– Class and type. Object and variable.
What’s important about reference types? Object types are not part of the “core” language (perhaps part of
standard libraries). Arrays are. Object types can be defined by someone or by us. The variable “refers to” or “points to” a separate chunk of
memory. We can access things inside what’s pointed to.
– Example: int[] a = new int[10]; a.length
– Problem: int[] b; b.length

“Non-primitive” types

Objects
Object. Holds a value of a particular data-type. A variable name refers to an object.
Class. The data type
Impact. Enables us to create our own data types; define operations on them; and integrate into our programs.

OperationsSet of ValuesData Type

Picture get/set color of pixel (i, j)2D array of colors
A Charge class. Represents a charged particle in a 2-dim space. Can use this to study “electric potential.”
Data Model. Location in a 2-dim space, so x and y values The charge at that point
Operations. Calculate potential due to this particle as some other (x,y) Convert this to a String for output
An API defines functions (known as methods) for each class: Charge (double x0, double y0, double q0) // constructor double potentialAt( double x, double y) String toString()
6
Example Data Type (Class): Charge
Note! No operators like +, *, etc.
Methods / Functions. These are slightly different than previous methods These are “instance methods” Previously we wrote “static” methods
Instance methods are called “on” an object (a variable) System.out.println(); // call println on System.out String s = aCharge.toString(); // call toString on aCharge In fileIn = new In(“file.txt”); fileIn.readInt();
Ways to think about this: Send a message to an object. Tell an object to do something.
7
Methods for a Class
In Java, remember: Variables must be initialized when created.
We must have a way to make this happen for “new” types.
One special instance method in the API: Charge (double x0, double y0, double q0) // constructor
This is a method called when you invoke “new” to create a new object!
You can pass parameters to control initialization. The class’ author defines the logic for this method to carry out
proper initialization.

Example: Constructors and Methods
To construct a new object: Use keyword new and name of data type.
To apply an operation: Use name of object, the dot operator, andthe name of the method.

Monochrome Luminance
Monochrome luminance. Effective brightness of a color.
NTSC formula. Y = 0.299r + 0.587g + 0.114b.
import java.awt.Color;
public class Luminance {
public static double lum(Color c) { int r = c.getRed(); int g = c.getGreen(); int b = c.getBlue(); return .299*r + .587*g + .114*b; }
}

Color Compatibility
Q. Which font colors will be most readable with which background colors on computer monitors and cell phone screens?
A. Rule of thumb: difference in luminance should be 128.
public static boolean compatible(Color a, Color b) { return Math.abs(lum(a) - lum(b)) >= 128.0;}

Grayscale
Grayscale. When all three R, G, and B values are the same,resulting color is on grayscale from 0 (black) to 255 (white).
Convert to grayscale. Use luminance to determine value.
Bottom line. We are writing programs that manipulate color.
public static Color toGray(Color c) { int y = (int) Math.round(lum(c)); Color gray = new Color(y, y, y); return gray;}
round double to nearest int

Image Processing: Scaling Filter
Goal. Shrink or enlarge an image to desired size.
Downscaling. To shrink, delete half the rows and columns.Upscaling. To enlarge, replace each pixel by 4 copies.

Image Processing: Scaling Filter
Goal. Shrink or enlarge an image to desired size.
Uniform strategy. To convert from ws-by-hs to wt -by-ht : Scale row index by ws / wt . Scale column index by hs / ht . Set color of pixel (i, j) in target image to color of pixel
(i ws / wt , j hs / ht ) in source image.

Important Issues about Objects and Reference Types
Study textbook: pages 352-357
References are not objects!
Aliases
Comparing objects. Don’t use ==. Use .equals()
Orphan objects, Memory Management
33
OOP Context for Color
Possible memory representation.
Object reference is analogous to variable name. We can manipulate the value that it holds. We can pass it to (or return it from) a method.

OOP Context
Reference. Variable that stores the name of a thing.
Some consequences. Assignment statements copy references (not objects). The == operator tests if two references refer to same object. Pass copies of references (not objects) to functions.
– efficient since no copying of data– function can change the object

Color sienna = new Color(160, 82, 45);Color c = sienna.darker();
36
Reference variables and equality
Remember arrays? Can’t use == to see if two have the same content.
Objects. Same thing! Never use == if you want to know if they have the same content.
Use instance method equals(). All Java classes should provide a working version of equals() that takes a 2nd object as an argument.String s1 = new String("hello”);
String s2 = new String("hello”);System.out.println( s1.equals(s2) ); trueSystem.out.println( s1==s2 ); falseSystem.out.println( s1==s1 ); trueString s3 = s1;System.out.println( s1==s3 ); true
37
Some things can’t be changed: Color objects, for example
Immutability. Can't change a Color object's value once created.
Consequence. Don't need to worry about aliases.
Color a = new Color(160, 82, 45);Color b = a;a = new Color(0, 0, 0);
makes a point to a different Color, but does not change b
no relevant methods in Color API
38
Java objects: Some are Immutable, Some are Not
Immutability. Can't change a Color object's value once created.
We can create a new color from an old one.We can change the Color object the reference points to.The String class is immutable too.
Mutability. Can change a Picture object's value.
Java has class StringBuffer that is like String but mutable. It has an append() method, for example.

Code Example

public static void main (String[] args) { String s1 = "Defined in main."; changeString(s1); System.out.println("String obj is now: " + s1); // see? reference still points to original object StringBuffer sb1 = new StringBuffer("Defined in main."); changeStringBuffer(sb1); System.out.println("StringBuffer obj is now: " + sb1); // see? object pointed to has be changed!} public static void changeString(String s) { s = "Changed in method"; // change is only local} public static void changeStringBuffer(StringBuffer sb) { sb.append(" -- Changed in method");}
40
Conclusion from Example
Arguments that are object-references:Code inside a method can change an argument passed to it. Only if that argument allows itself to be changed (i.e. is mutable).Cannot make the object-reference point to a new object.
In other words, inside the method:The thing “pointed to” can be changed.The “pointer” cannot be changed.
This rule is same as for arrays!
41
OOP Summary
Object. Holds a data type value; variable name refers to object.
In Java, programs manipulate references to objects. Exception: primitive types, e.g., boolean, int, double. Reference types: String, Picture, Color, arrays, everything
else.
Bottom line. We wrote programs that manipulate colors, pictures,and strings.
Next. We'll write programs that manipulate our own abstractions.

public class Spectrum { public static void main(String[] args) { int N = Integer.parseInt(args[0]); Picture pic = new Picture(N, N); for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) { for(int j = 0; j < N; j++) { int r = (i * 256) / N; int g = 128; int b = (j * 256) / N; Color c = new Color(r, g, b); pic.set(i, j, c); } } pic.show(); pic.save("spectrum.png"); }}

Java Function Involving Colors
We can write Java functions that manipulate colors. Ex: return convex combination of two colors.
import java.awt.Color;public class ColorCombiner { public static Color combine(Color c1, Color c2, double beta) { int r = (int) (beta*c1.getRed() + (1-beta) * c2.getRed()); int g = (int) (beta*c1.getGreen() + (1-beta) * c2.getGreen()); int b = (int) (beta*c1.getBlue() + (1-beta) * c2.getBlue()); return new Color(r, g, b); } public static void main(String args[]) { Color c1 = new Color(127, 255, 255); Color c2 = new Color( 0, 127, 127); Color c3 = combine(c1, c2, 0.15); System.out.println("c3 = " + c3); }} % java ColorCombiner
c3 = java.awt.Color[r=19,g=146,b=146]

Color Separation
import java.awt.Color;public class ColorSeparation { public static void main(String args[]) { Picture pic = new Picture(args[0]); int width = pic.width(); int height = pic.height();
Picture R = new Picture(width, height); Picture G = new Picture(width, height); Picture B = new Picture(width, height);
for (int i = 0; i < width; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < height; j++) { Color c = pic.get(i, j); int r = c.getRed(); int g = c.getGreen(); int b = c.getBlue(); R.set(i, j, new Color(r, 0, 0)); G.set(i, j, new Color(0, g, 0)); B.set(i, j, new Color(0, 0, b)); } } R.show(); G.show(); B.show(); } }

Goal. Create swirl special effect by setting color of output pixel (i, j) to color of some other input pixel (ii, jj).
double i0 = 0.5 * width;double j0 = 0.5 * height;
for (int i = 0; i < width; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < height; j++) { double di = i - i0; double dj = j - j0; double r = Math.sqrt(di*di +dj*dj); double a = Math.PI / 256 * r; int ii = (int)(-di*Math.cos(a) + dj*Math.sin(a) + i0); int jj = (int)( di*Math.sin(a) + dj*Math.cos(a) + j0); if (ii >= 0 && ii < width && jj >= 0 && jj < height) pic2.set(i, j, pic1.get(ii, jj)); }}

Memory Management
Value types. Allocate memory when variable is declared. Can reclaim memory when variable goes out of scope.
Reference types. Allocate memory when object is created with new. Can reclaim memory when last reference goes out of scope. Significantly more challenging if several references to same
object.
Garbage collector. System automatically reclaims memory;programmer relieved of tedious and error-prone activity.
