Syllabus in a nutshell
 Course website is super important and useful:
 http://cs.washington.edu/142

Myths about CSE
 CSE majors spend lives in dark offices alone writing code
 CSE graduates can’t get jobs anymore
 The dot-com bubble burst, out-sourcing, etc.
 The only people who do well
in CSE 142 have programmed
since they were five
 Related: CSE majors all look like

What is CSE?
 Computer Science
 Study of computation (information processing)

Automating the organization and analysis of information
 Many subfields





Graphics, Computer Vision
Computational Biology
Robotics / Artificial Intelligence
Large-scale data processing
...
 Writing code is a means to an end
 Computer Engineering
 Overlap with CS and electrical engineering
 Emphasis on hardware-software integration

What is CSE 142?
 CSE 142 is an introduction to programming
 Creating instructions for computers
 Uses a language (human-readable notation)
 “CSE” is not just programming, but programming is a good
starting point
 No prior programming knowledge assumed
 Should know how basics of to use a computer
 Should know math through Algebra I
 Students with significant programming experience should not be
here – take CSE 143 instead (no special permission needed)

Basic Java programs with
println statements

Writing a program
 program: a sequence of instructions that a computer can
understand and perform
 A computer is a servant that does precisely what you tell it to do.
 Must speak to your computer in a language it understands
 We’re going to talk to our computer in Java
Copyright 2009 by Pearson Education
10
Java
 A modern programming language




Sun Microsystems in 1995
Rich libraries
Cross-platform
Object-oriented
 Taught in 142 and 143
 Shows basic concepts
 Good free, cross-platform tools
 Industry-grade language

Compiling/running a program
1. Write it.
 code or source code: The set of instructions in a program.
2. Compile it.
• compile: Translate a program from one language to another.
 byte code: The Java compiler converts your code into a format
named byte code that runs on many computer types.
3. Run (execute) it.
 output: The messages printed to the user by a program.

A Java Program
public class Hello {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
System.out.println();
System.out.println("This program produces");
System.out.println("four lines of output");
}
}
 Its output:
Hello, world!
This program produces
four lines of output

Structure of a Java program
class: a program
public class name {
public static void main(String[] args) {
statement;
statement;
method: a named group
...
of statements
statement;
}
}
statement: a command to be executed
 Every executable Java program consists of a class,
 that contains a method named main,

that contains the statements (commands) to be executed.

14
System.out.println
 A statement that prints a line of output on the console.
 pronounced "print-linn"
 sometimes called a "println statement" for short
 Two ways to use System.out.println :
• System.out.println("text");
Prints the given message as output.
• System.out.println();
Prints a blank line of output.
Copyright 2009 by Pearson Education
15
Names and identifiers
 You must give your program a name.
public class CakeRecipe {
 Naming convention: capitalize each word (e.g. MyClassName)
 Your program's file must match exactly (CakeRecipe.java)

includes capitalization (Java is "case-sensitive")
 identifier: A name given to an item in your program.
 must start with a letter or _ or $
 subsequent characters can be any of those or a number


legal: _myName
illegal: me+u

Syntax
 syntax: The set of legal structures and commands that can
be used in a particular language.
 Every basic Java statement ends with a semicolon ;
 The contents of a class or method occur between { and }
 syntax error (compiler error): A problem in the structure
of a program that causes the compiler to fail.
Examples:
 Missing semicolon
 Too many or too few { } braces
 Illegal identifier for class name
 Class and file names do not match
 ...

public class Hello {
pooblic static void main(String[] args) {
System.owt.println("Hello, world!")_
}
}
 Compiler output:
Hello.java:2: <identifier> expected
pooblic static void main(String[] args) {
^
Hello.java:3: ';' expected
}
^
2 errors
 The compiler shows the line number where it found the error.
 The error messages can be tough to understand!

19
Strings
 string: A sequence of characters to be printed.
 Starts and ends with a " quote " character.

The quotes do not appear in the output.
 Examples:
"hello"
"This is a string.
It's very long!"
 Restrictions:
 May not span multiple lines.
"This is not
a legal String."
 May not contain a " character.
"This is not a "legal" String either."
Copyright 2009 by Pearson Education
20
Escape sequences
 escape sequence: A special sequence of characters used
to represent certain special characters in a string.
\t
\n
\"
\\
tab character
new line character
quotation mark character
backslash character
 Example:
System.out.println("\\hello\nhow\tare \"you\"?\\\\");
 Output:
\hello
how
are "you"?\\

Questions
 What is the output of the following println
statements?
System.out.println("\ta\tb\tc");
System.out.println("\\\\");
System.out.println("'");
System.out.println("\"\"\"");
System.out.println("C:\the beatles\norwegian
wood.mp3");
 Write a println statement to produce this output:
/ \ // \\ /// \\\
Copyright 2009 by Pearson Education
22
Answers
 Output of each println statement:
a
b
c
\\
'
"""
C:
he beatles
orwegian wood.mp3
 println statement to produce the line of output:
System.out.println("/ \\ // \\\\ ///
\\\\\\");

Questions
 What println statements will generate this output?
This program prints a
quote from the Gettysburg Address.
"Four score and seven years ago,
our 'fore fathers' brought forth on
this continent a new nation."
 What println statements will generate this output?
A "quoted" String is
'much' better if you learn
the rules of "escape sequences."
Also, "" represents an empty String.
Don't forget: use \" instead of " !
'' is not the same as "

Answers
 println statements to generate the output:
System.out.println("This program prints a");
System.out.println("quote from the Gettysburg Address.");
System.out.println();
System.out.println("\"Four score and seven years ago,");
System.out.println("our 'fore fathers' brought forth on");
System.out.println("this continent a new nation.\"");
 println statements to generate the output:
System.out.println("A \"quoted\" String is");
System.out.println("'much' better if you learn");
System.out.println("the rules of \"escape sequences.\"");
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Also, \"\" represents an empty String.");
System.out.println("Don't forget: use \\\" instead of \" !");
System.out.println("'' is not the same as \"");

Comments
 comment: A note written in the source code by the
programmer to make the code easier to understand.
 Comments are not executed when your program runs.
 Comment, general syntax:
// <comment text, on one line>
or,
/* <comment text; may span multiple lines> */
 Examples:
/* A comment goes here. */
/* It can even span
multiple lines. */
// This is a one-line comment.

Comments example
/* Patty Println, CS 101, Fall 2019
This program prints lyrics from my favorite song! */
public class Washington {
// The code to print the song on the console.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// first verse
System.out.println(“Washington, Washington");
System.out.println(“6 foot 8");
System.out.println(“Weighs a friendly ton");
// separate the lyrics with a blank line
System.out.println();
// second verse
System.out.println(“Opponents beware");
System.out.println(“Opponents beware");
}
