Comments
In Java, comments are preceded by two slashes (//) in a
line, or enclosed between /* and */ in one or multiple
lines. When the compiler sees //, it ignores all text after //
in the same line. When it sees /*, it scans for the next */
and ignores any text between /* and */.

rights reserved. 0-13-148952-6
18
Package
The second line in the program (package chapter1;)
specifies a package name, chapter1, for the class
Welcome. IDE compiles the source code in
Welcome.java, generates Welcome.class, and stores
Welcome.class in the chapter1 folder.

19
Reserved Words
Reserved words or keywords are words that have a
specific meaning to the compiler and cannot be used for
other purposes in the program. For example, when the
compiler sees the word class, it understands that the word
after class is the name for the class. Other reserved words
in Listing 1.1 are public, static, and void. Their use will
be introduced later in the book.

20
Modifiers
Java uses certain reserved words called modifiers that
specify the properties of the data, methods, and
classes and how they can be used. Examples of
modifiers are public and static. Other modifiers are
private, final, abstract, and protected. A public datum,
method, or class can be accessed by other programs.
A private datum or method cannot be accessed by
other programs. Modifiers are discussed in Chapter 6,
“Objects and Classes.”
Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Sixth Edition, (c) 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. All
rights reserved. 0-13-148952-6
21
Classes
The class is the essential Java construct. A class is a
template or blueprint for objects. To program in Java,
you must understand classes and be able to write and use
them. The mystery of the class will continue to be
unveiled throughout this course. For now, though,
understand that a program is defined by using one or
more classes.

22
Methods
What is System.out.println? It is a method: a collection
of statements that performs a sequence of operations to
display a message on the console. It can be used even
without fully understanding the details of how it works.
It is used by invoking a statement with a string argument.
The string argument is enclosed within parentheses. In
this case, the argument is "Welcome to Java!" You can
call the same println method with a different argument to
print a different message.

rights reserved. 0-13-148952-6
23
main Method
The main method provides the control of program flow. The
Java interpreter executes the application by invoking the main
method.
The main method looks like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Statements;
}

Displaying Text in a Message
Dialog Box
you can use the showMessageDialog method in
the JOptionPane class. JOptionPane is one of the
many predefined classes in the Java system,
which can be reused rather than “reinventing the
wheel.”

Identifiers
An identifier is a sequence of characters that consist of
letters, digits, underscores (_), and dollar signs ($).
 An identifier must start with a letter, an underscore (_),
or a dollar sign ($). It cannot start with a digit.

– An identifier cannot be a reserved word. (See Appendix A,
“Java Keywords,” for a list of reserved words).
An identifier cannot be true, false, or
null.
 An identifier can be of any length.

35
Remainder Operator
Remainder is very useful in programming. For example, an
even number % 2 is always 0 and an odd number % 2 is always
1. So you can use this property to determine whether a number
is even or odd. Suppose today is Saturday and you and your
friends are going to meet in 10 days. What day is in 10
days? You can find that day is Tuesday using the following
expression:
Saturday is the 6th day in a week
A week has 7 days
(6 + 31) % 7 is 2
The 2nd day in a week is Tuesday
January has 31 days

Scientific Notation
Floating-point literals can also be specified in
scientific notation, for example, 1.23456e+2,
same as 1.23456e2, is equivalent to 123.456, and
1.23456e-2 is equivalent to 0.0123456. E (or e)
represents an exponent and it can be either in
lowercase or uppercase.

42
Increment and
Decrement Operators, cont.
Using increment and decrement operators makes
expressions short, but it also makes them complex and
difficult to read. Avoid using these operators in expressions
that modify multiple variables, or the same variable for
multiple times
Such as this: int k = ++i + i.

43
Assignment Expressions and
Assignment Statements
Prior to Java 2, all the expressions can be used as
statements. Since Java 2, only the following types of
expressions can be statements:
variable op= expression; // Where op is +, -, *, /, or %
++variable;
variable++;
--variable;
variable--;

Numeric Type Conversion
Consider the following statements:
byte i = 100;
long k = i * 3 + 4;
double d = i * 3.1 + k / 2;

rights reserved. 0-13-148952-6
45
Conversion Rules
When performing a binary operation involving two
operands of different types, Java automatically
converts the operand based on the following rules:
1. If one of the operands is double, the other is
converted into double.
2. Otherwise, if one of the operands is float, the other is
converted into float.
3. Otherwise, if one of the operands is long, the other is
converted into long.
4. Otherwise, both operands are converted into int.

Character Data Type
char letter = 'A'; (ASCII)
char numChar = '4'; (ASCII)
Four hexadecimal digits.
char letter = '\u0041'; (Unicode)
char numChar = '\u0034'; (Unicode)
NOTE: The increment and decrement operators can also be used
on char variables to get the next or preceding Unicode character.
For example, the following statements display character b
char ch = 'a';
System.out.println(++ch);

48
Unicode Format
Java characters use Unicode, a 16-bit encoding scheme
established by the Unicode Consortium to support the
interchange, processing, and display of written texts in the
world’s diverse languages. Unicode takes two bytes,
preceded by \u, expressed in four hexadecimal numbers
that run from '\u0000' to '\uFFFF'. So, Unicode can
represent 65535 + 1 characters.
Unicode \u03b1 \u03b2 \u03b3 for three Greek
letters

54
The String Type
The char type only represents one character. To represent a string
of characters, use the data type called String. For example,
String message = "Welcome to Java";
String is actually a predefined class in the Java library just like the
System class and JOptionPane class. The String type is not a
primitive type. It is known as a reference type. Any Java class can
be used as a reference type for a variable. Reference data types
will be thoroughly discussed in Chapter 6, “Classes and Objects.”
For the time being, you just need to know how to declare a String
variable, how to assign a string to the variable, and how to
concatenate strings.

55
String Concatenation
// Three strings are concatenated
String message = "Welcome " + "to " + "Java";
// String Chapter is concatenated with number 2
String s = "Chapter" + 2; // s becomes Chapter2
// String Supplement is concatenated with character B
String s1 = "Supplement" + 'B'; // s becomes

JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE));
Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Sixth Edition, (c) 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. All
rights reserved. 0-13-148952-6
58
Two Ways to Invoke the Method
There are several ways to use the showInputDialog method. For
the time being, you only need to know two ways to invoke it.
One is to use a statement as shown in the example:
String string = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, x,
y, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE));
where x is a string for the prompting message, and y is a string for
the title of the input dialog box.
The other is to use a statement like this:
JOptionPane.showInputDialog(x);
where x is a string for the prompting message.

59
Converting Strings to Integers
The input returned from the input dialog box is a string. If
you enter a numeric value such as 123, it returns “123”.
To obtain the input as a number, you have to convert a
string into a number.
To convert a string into an int value, you can use the
static parseInt method in the Integer class as follows:
int intValue = Integer.parseInt(intString);
where intString is a numeric string such as “123”.

To convert a string into a double value, you can use the
static parseDouble method in the Double class as follows:
double doubleValue =Double.parseDouble(doubleString);
where doubleString is a numeric string such as “123.45”.

The boolean Type and Operators
Often in a program you need to compare two
values, such as whether i is greater than j. Java
provides six comparison operators (also known
as relational operators) that can be used to
compare two values. The result of the
comparison is a Boolean value: true or false.
boolean b = (1 > 2);

Ending a Loop with a Sentinel
Value
Often the number of times a loop is executed is not
predetermined. You may use an input value to signify the

Write a program that reads and calculates the sum of an
unspecified number of integers. The input 0 signifies the
end of the input.

Caution
Don’t use floating-point values for equality checking in
a loop control. Since floating-point values are
approximations, using them could result in imprecise
counter values and inaccurate results. This example uses
int value for data. If a floating-point type value is used
for data, (data != 0) may be true even though data is 0.
// data should be zero
double data = Math.pow(Math.sqrt(2), 2) - 2;
if (data == 0)
System.out.println("data is zero");

Note
The initial-action in a for loop can be a list of zero or more
comma-separated expressions. The action-after-eachiteration in a for loop can be a list of zero or more commaseparated statements. Therefore, the following two for
loops are correct. They are rarely used in practice,
however.
for (int i = 1; i < 100; System.out.println(i++));
for (int i = 0, j = 0; (i + j < 10); i++, j++) {

If the loop-continuation-condition in a for loop is omitted,
it is implicitly true. Thus the statement given below in (a),

greatest common divisor is 8. So, how do you find the greatest
common divisor? Let the two input integers be n1 and n2. You know
number 1 is a common divisor, but it may not be the greatest commons
divisor. So you can check whether k (for k = 2, 3, 4, and so on) is a
common divisor for n1 and n2, until k is greater than n1 or n2.

Ambiguous Invocation
Sometimes there may be two or more
possible matches for an invocation of a
method, but the compiler cannot
determine the most specific match. This
is referred to as ambiguous invocation.
Ambiguous invocation is a compilation
error.

Stepwise Refinement (Optional)
The concept of method abstraction can be
applied to the process of developing programs.
When writing a large program, you can use the
“divide and conquer” strategy, also known as
stepwise refinement, to decompose it into
subproblems. The subproblems can be further
decomposed into smaller, more manageable
problems.

Implementation: Top-Down
Top-down approach is to implement one method in the
structure chart at a time from the top to the bottom. Stubs
can be used for the methods waiting to be implemented. A
stub is a simple but incomplete version of a method. The
use of stubs enables you to test invoking the method from
a caller. Implement the main method first and then use a
stub for the printMonth method. For example, let
printMonth display the year and the month in the stub.
Thus, your program may begin like this:

Implementation: Bottom-Up
Bottom-up approach is to implement one method in the
structure chart at a time from the bottom to the top. For
each method implemented, write a test program to test it.
Both top-down and bottom-up methods are fine. Both
approaches implement the methods incrementally and
help to isolate programming errors and makes debugging
easy. Sometimes, they can be used together.

Optional
Package
There are three reasons for using packages:
1. To avoid naming conflicts. When you develop
reusable classes to be shared by other
programmers, naming conflicts often occur. To
prevent this, put your classes into packages so that
they can be referenced through package names.
2. To distribute software conveniently. Packages group
related classes so that they can be easily
distributed.
3. To protect classes. Packages provide protection so
that the protected members of the classes are
accessible to the classes in the same package, but
not to the external classes.

rights reserved. 0-13-148952-6
132
Package-Naming Conventions
Packages are hierarchical, and you can have packages within
packages. For example, java.lang.Math indicates that Math is a
class in the package lang and that lang is a package in the
package java. Levels of nesting can be used to ensure the
uniqueness of package names.
Choosing a unique name is important because your package
may be used on the Internet by other programs. Java designers
recommend that you use your Internet domain name in reverse
order as a package prefix. Since Internet domain names are
unique, this prevents naming conflicts. Suppose you want to
create a package named mypackage on a host machine with the
Internet domain name prenhall.com. To follow the naming
convention, you would name the entire package
com.prenhall.mypackage. By convention, package names are all
in lowercase.

133
Package Directories
Java expects one-to-one mapping of the package name and the
file system directory structure. For the package named
com.prenhall.mypackage, you must create a directory, as shown
in the figure. In other words, a package is actually a directory
that contains the bytecode of the classes.
com.prenhall.mypackage
The com directory does not have to be the root
directory. In order for Java to know where
your package is in the file system, you must
modify the environment variable classpath so
that it points to the directory in which your
package resides.

rights reserved. 0-13-148952-6
134
Setting classpath Environment
The com directory does not have to be the root directory. In order for Java to know where
your package is in the file system, you must modify the environment variable classpath so
that it points to the directory in which your package resides.
Suppose the com directory is under c:\book. The following line adds c:\book into the
classpath:
classpath=.;c:\book;
The period (.) indicating the current directory is always in classpath. The directory
c:\book is in classpath so that you can use the package com.prenhall.mypackage in the
program.

135
Putting Classes into Packages
Every class in Java belongs to a package. The class is added to the package when
it is compiled. All the classes that you have used so far in this book were placed in
the current directory (a default package) when the Java source programs were
compiled. To put a class in a specific package, you need to add the following line
as the first noncomment and nonblank statement in the program:
package packagename;

Listing 5.8 Putting Classes into Packages
Problem
This example creates a class named Format and places it in the package
com.prenhall.mypackage. The Format class contains the format(number,
numOfDecimalDigits) method that returns a new number with the specified
number of digits after the decimal point. For example, format(10.3422345, 2)
returns 10.34, and format(-0.343434, 3) returns –0.343.
Solution
1. Create Format.java as follows and save it into c:\book\com\prenhall\mypackage.
// Format.java: Format number.
package com.prenhall.mypackage;
public class Format {
public static double format(
double number, int numOfDecimalDigits) {
return Math.round(number * Math.pow(10, numOfDecimalDigits)) /
Math.pow(10, numOfDecimalDigits);
}
}
2. Compile Format.java. Make sure Format.class is in
c:\book\com\prenhall\mypackage.

137
Using Classes from Packages
There are two ways to use classes from a package.
• One way is to use the fully qualified name of the class. For example, the fully
qualified name for JOptionPane is javax.swing.JOptionPane. For Format in the
preceding example, it is com.prenhall.mypackage.Format. This is convenient if the
class is used a few times in the program.
• The other way is to use the import statement. For example, to import all the
classes in the javax.swing package, you can use
import javax.swing.*;
An import that uses a * is called an import on demand declaration. You can also
import a specific class. For example, this statement imports
javax.swing.JOptionPane:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
The information for the classes in an imported package is not read in at compile time
or runtime unless the class is used in the program. The import statement simply tells
the compiler where to locate the classes.

Listing 5.9 Using Packages
Problem
This example shows a program that uses the Format class in the
com.prenhall.mypackage.mypackage package.
Solution
1. Create TestFormatClass.java as follows and save it into c:\book.
The following code gives the solution to the problem.
// TestFormatClass.java: Demonstrate using the Format class
import com.prenhall.mypackage.Format;
public class TestFormatClass {
/** Main method */
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(Format.format(10.3422345, 2));
System.out.println(Format.format(-0.343434, 3));
}
}
