121 Discussion #1 Announcements: Read 2.1-2.6 for Tuesday OWL assignments now available: go to this URL owl.oit.umass.edu/ Choose computer science. Login, with “login” = your student number, password = “your last name” 1. Some general terminology questions.. What’s an operating system – give some of its functions What does it mean to say that memory is volatile What’s java bytecode Is Java case-sensitive? And what does that mean? 2. Errors: remember the difference between compile-time, runtime, and logic errors. What are these? a. multiplying two numbers when you meant to add them b. dividing by zero c. leaving off a semicolon at the end of a print statement d. invoking this: system.out.println(“hi”); 3. Assignment statements Recall the “cell” model of variable values Try these examples int num = 20; num = 2*num; // does this make sense? int a = 3; int b = a + 5; b = b + b; b = b + b; What value does b hold before and after each statement? int pig; int dog; int cat; cat = 1; dog = 3; pig = cat * cat; cat = pig * pig; What value does cat hold? int hot; int cold; hot = 3; cold = 5; How can you swap the values of hot and cold? 4. The numbers 1,2,3,4 sit in the integer variables one,two,three, and four. Use assignment statements to rotate them, so that the same variables now hold 2,3,4,1. 5. Write a complete application that prints + ++ +++ ++++ 6. There are other kinds of integer values: byte, short, int, long There are two kinds of decimal (real) numbers float and double. Create a variable called pi.. (and some others). Write a formula for the area of a circle using java variables. 7. (harder)Use assignment to print the first 8 fibonacci numbers: Sequence starts 1,1,2, and each successive number is the sum of the two before it: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21 make this chart of triples: 1 1 2 etc 1 2 3 2 3 5 do the next five rows draw arrows to show how the entries shift from row to row Now write (or start writing) the assignment statements and print statements that will produce the first eight Fibonacci numbers..
