Variables
Named location that stores a value

Example:
String a = “a”;
String b = “letter b”;
a = “letter a”;
String c = a + “ and ” + b;

Operators
Symbols that perform simple computations

Assignment: =

Addition: +

Subtraction: –

Multiplication: *

Division: /

Modular Division: % (obtain the division remainder)

all of them are binary operators. Need 2 operands to make computations.

Questions from last lecture?

Intro data from keyboard

To introduce data to the program we can use the console and a few instructions.

• You need to import a package that contains a particular class, the Scanner class.

• Create a new object.

• Use the object to collect data from the keyboard.

//console program that adds two integers and displays the result
//The java.util package is needed
import java.util.Scanner; //and use the Scanner class

public class AddTwoNums {

public static void main(String[] args) { // begin main method

//declaration of variables
int num1; //first number to add
int num2; //second number to add
int result; //result of the sum

// object that collects the characters that we press on the keyboard

Scanner read = new Scanner(System.in);

//Request input data

System.out.print( "Give me the addend 1: " );
num1 = read.nextInt(); // the data is assigned to the variable
System.out.print( "Give me the addend 2: " );
num2 = read.nextInt(); // the data is assigned to the variable

6.092 Introduction to Programming in Java: adapted by Valentin Belisario Dominguez Vera 4

OOP class notes Ene – Abr 2023 26/12/22
//sum of the two numbers
result = num1 + num2;

//Show result on screen

System.out.println( "The sum of " + num1 + " + " + num2 + " = " + result );

read.close();
} //end main method
} //end of class AddTwoNums
fuente: http://lineadecodigo.com/java/sumar-dos-numeros-con-java/

If you don't close the read object after you've finished using it, there may be some negative implications for your
program. Proper closing of the Scanner object is a good practice to ensure proper resource management and
prevent potential problems.
Memory leaks: If you don't close the Scanner class object, the underlying resources might not be freed, which could cause a memory leak.
Every time you create a new Scanner object, a memory buffer is reserved to store the input. If these resources are not freed properly, your
program could run out of memory over time.

Input stream blocking: In some cases, not closing the Scanner object could cause the input stream to become blocked, meaning that you
won't be able to receive any more input from the user or from other input streams (such as files). This could result in unexpected behavior
of your program.

Potential Conflicts: If your program tries to create another Scanner object in the same input stream without closing the previous one, it
could cause conflicts and errors when reading data.

Division
Division (“/”) operates differently on integers and on doubles!

Example:
double a = 5.0/2.0; // result a = 2.5
double d = 5/2; // d = 2.0
int b = 4/2; // b = 2
int c = 5/2; // c = 2

OOP class notes Ene – Abr 2023 26/12/22

Order of Operations
Precedence like math, left to right Right hand side of = evaluated first.

Parenthesis increase precedence.

double x = 3 / 2 + 1; // x = 2.0
double y = 4 / (2 + 1); // y = 1.0

Mismatched Data Types

Java verifies that data types always match:
String five = 5; // ERROR!

test.java.2: incompatible types: int cannot be converted to String

String five = 5;
^
test.java.2: incompatible types: int cannot be converted to String

file name . line # with error : type error : bug detail

Conversion by casting
int a = 2; // a = 2
double a = 2; // a = 2.0 (Implicit)
double a = 3.5f; // a = 3.5 (Implicit)

int a = 18.7; // ERROR

int a = (int)18.7; // a = 18

double a = 2/3; // a = 0.0

double a = (double)2/3; // a = 0.6666…

Make a program that calculates the value of “y” in the following equation, y = Ax2 + Bx + C. Use the following
integer values, A = 2, B = -3, C = 5, x = 2. Use a method to do the calculation and return to return the result to the
main method. The expected value of y = 7.

Make a program that calculates the average of 3 whole degrees, which are 85, 93 and 65. The average
calculation must be done in a method, use return to return the result to the main method. The expected value of

6.092 Introduction to Programming in Java: adapted by Valentin Belisario Dominguez Vera 13

OOP class notes Ene – Abr 2023 26/12/22

the average is 81.

Once completed, try the program with the values 85, 93 and 66; 85, 93 and 67. Why is the average the same if
the last grade was modified twice?

Variable Scope
Variables live in the block “{ }” where they are defined (scope)

Method parameters are like defining a new variable in the method

public class SquareChange {

public static void printSquare( int x ) {

System.out.println( " x = " + x );

x = x * x;

System.out.println( "Square x = " + x );

} // end of printSquare method

public static void main( String[ ] arguments ) {

Methods: Building Blocks

• Big programs are built out of small methods

• Methods can be individually developed, tested and reused

• User of method does not need to know how it works

• In Computer Science, this is called “abstraction”

Assignment.

To practice the subject of methods with parameters, you are going to convert the 4 programs from the previous
homework to programs that use methods with parameters.

File names can be the same by adding an underscore, an M, a y and a P, m for methods and p for parameters.

For example: DosNumsOperaciones1_MyP.java

Mathematical Functions
Math.sin( x )
Math.cos( Math.PI / 2 )
Math.pow( 2, 3 )
Math.log( Math.log( x + y ) )

Classroom Exercises. Use function Math.pow()

• Make a program that allows you to find the area of any circle. Formula A = π r2.

• Using the formula y = ax2 + bx + c, write the program that calculates the value of "y" for any values of x, a,
b, and c.

Questions?

Assignment: FooCorporation
FooCorporation needs a program to calculate how much to pay their employees.

Pay is obtained by multiplying hours worked by hourly pay. The base pay must be no less than $8.00/hour. (Do a
validation). Overtime is more than 40 hours, and paid 1.5 times base pay. The maximum number of hours must be
no more than 60/week. (Do a validation).

Use a particular method to do calculations and to display results, use the if statement where necessary or
convenient. The main method will call to method and will send values to method. Arguments to send will be base
pay and hours worked.

Proposed problems to practice

1. Make a program that allows calculating, and showing on screen, the average having as data 3 grades of a
student, in addition to showing on the screen if the student is approved or not. The minimum pass is 75.

2. Make a program that identifies whether a number is even or odd by displaying a message on the screen

3. Make a program that determines which is the largest of three different numbers integers. This exercise can
be done in several ways, the most obvious is the one in which successive comparisons are made.

Set num1 num2 num3 largest is

1 10 5 2 num1
2 10 2 5 num1
3 2 10 5 num2

4 5 10 2 num2
5 5 2 10 num3
6 2 5 10 num3

4. Make a program that identifies if a number is divisible by 3 exactly (it means that the remainder is zero) by
displaying a message on the screen

5. Make a program that identifies if a number is divisible by 3 exactly (it means that the remainder is zero) by
displaying a message on the screen; is divisible by 9 exactly, and if is divisible by 3 and 9 at the same
time.

Exercise 1 OPTION1
Secondary method Since the methods we have seen can only return one value, we will have to use
two methods, one to return the average and other to return the status.
- Receive values with parameters
- calculate Average
method1 (Parameters)
- Based on the minimum passing rate,
determine the student status (pass or fail) Prom = ( cal1 + cal2 + cal3 ) / 3
- Return results to main method return Prom

Main method method2 (Parameters)

- Send values using arguments Prom = ( cal1 + cal2 + cal3 ) / 3
- Receives values (results) with the call to the if ( Prom >= 75 )
secondary method
True? status = “Pass” False? status = “Fail”
- Displays results on screen
return status

Clues: 75, 62, 58, Prom is 65, “Fail”

main method (arguments)
85, 70, 79, Prom is 78, “Pass”
declaration of variables
request input data
call each method (arguments)
assign method1 to average variable
assign method2 to the status variable
display results on screen

OPTION2
method1 (Parameters the califs)
Prom = ( cal1 + cal2 + cal3 ) / 3
return Prom

method2 (Parameters only Prom)

if ( Prom >= 75 )
True? status = “Pass” False? status = “Fail”
return status

main method (arguments)

declaration of variables
request input data
// call each method
Prom = method1 (arguments the califs)
status (arguments only Prom)
display results on screen

Exercise 2 Since the methods we have seen can only return one value, we will have to use
two methods, one to return the remainder and other to return the type of
Secondary method
number.
- Receive values with parameters
method1 (Parameters the number)
- calculate the remainder
rem = num % 2
- Determine if the number is even or odd based
return rem
on the remainder of the division.
- Return results to main method
method2 (Parameters only rem)
if ( rem == 0 )
Main method
True? type = “Even” False? type = “odd”
- Send values using arguments
return type
- Receives values (results) with the call to the
secondary method
- Displays results on screen main method (arguments)
declaration of variables
Clues: 11 is odd; 14 is even request input data
// call each method
Rem = method1 (argument the number)
Type = method2 (arguments only Rem)
display results on screen

Exercise 3 method1 (Parameters the three numbers)

Secondary method make successive comparisons of each number with the other two
- Receive values with parameters return largest
- identify the largest number of the three
- Return results to main method main method (arguments)
declaration of variables
Main method request input data
- Send values using arguments // call each method
- Receives values (results) with the call to the Largest = method1 (argument the number)
secondary method
display results on screen
- Displays results on screen

Clues: 10, 5, 2; the largest is 10

10, 2, 5; the largest is 10
5, 10, 2; the largest is 10
