INTRODUCTION
Java is platform independent: the same program can run on any correctly
implemented Java system
• Java is object-oriented:
Structured in terms of classes, which group data with operations on that data
Can construct new classes by extending existing ones
• Java designed as
A core language plus
A rich collection of commonly available packages
• Java can be embedded in Web pages

Begin with Java source code in
text files:
Model.java
A Java source code compiler
produces Java byte code
Outputs one file per class:
Model.class
May be standalone or part of an
IDE
A Java Virtual Machine loads and
executes class files
May compile them to native code
(e.g., x86) internally

The Java API
API = Application Programming Interface
Java = small core + extensive collection of packages

A package consists of some related Java classes:
Swing: a GUI (graphical user interface) package

AWT: Application Window Toolkit (more GUI)
util: utility data structures (important to CS 187!)
The import statement tells the compiler to make available classes and
methods of another package
A main method indicates where to begin executing a class (if it is

designed to be run as a program)

The Java
Java does not include the C

unique statement keywords
sizeof,and typedef.
Java does not contain the data

types struct and union.
Java does not support an explicit

pointer type.
Java does not have a

preprocessor and therefore we
cannot use #define,#include
statement.

METHODS
A method in Java is a block of code that, when called, performs

specific actions mentioned in it.
For instance, if you have written instructions to draw a circle in

the method, it will do that task.
You can insert values or parameters into methods, and they will
only be executed when called
A method in Java is a set of instructions that can be called for

execution using the method name.

CLASSES
A class is a template for an object and an object is an instance of a

class.
When defining a class, the data that it contains and the code that
operates on that data has to be specified.
A class is declared by use of the 'class' keyword.

The data or variables, defined within a class are called instance
variables.

CONTROL STATEMENT
The while loop loops through a block of code as

long as a specified condition is true
When you know exactly how many times you

want to loop through a block of code, use
the for loop instead of a while loop:
The do/while loop is a variant of

the while loop. This loop will execute the code
block once, before checking if the condition is
true, then it will repeat the loop as long as the
condition is true.
