Compared to C++: no header files, macros, pointers and references, unions,
operator overloading, templates, etc. Object-orientation: Classes + Inheritance Distributed: RMI, Servlet, Distributed object programming. Robust: Strong typing + no pointer + garbage collection Secure: Type-safety + access control Architecture neutral: architecture neutral representation Portable Interpreted
High performance through Just in time compilation + runtime modification of code
Multi-threaded
6
Well defined primitive data types: int, float, double, char, etc. int 4 bytes [–2,147,648, 2,147,483,647]
Control statements similar to C++: if-then-else, switch, while, for
Interfaces Exceptions Concurrency Packages Name spaces Reflection Applet model
7
Java programming language specification Syntax of Java programs Defines different constructs and their semantics
Java byte code: Intermediate representation for Java programs
Java compiler: Transform Java programs into Java byte code Java interpreter: Read programs written in Java byte code
and execute them Java virtual machine: Runtime system that provides various
services to running programs Java programming environment: Set of libraries that provide
services such as GUI, data structures,etc. Java enabled browsers: Browsers that include a JVM +
ability to load programs from remote hosts8
How are Java programs written?
How are variables declared?
How are expressions specified?
How are control structures defined?
How to define simple methods?
What are classes and objects?
What about exceptions?

Define a class HelloWorld and store it into a file: HelloWorld.java:
public class HelloWorld {public static void main (String[] args) {
System.out.println(“Hello, World”);}
}
Compile HelloWorld.javajavac HelloWorld.java
Output: HelloWorld.class Run
java HelloWorld
Output: Hello, World

Fibonacci:class Fibonacci {public static void main(String[] arg) {
int lo = 1;int hi = 1;System.out.println(lo);while (hi < 50) {
System.out.println(hi);hi = lo + hi;lo = hi – lo;
}}
}
11
Arithmetic: +, -, *,/, %, =8 + 3 * 2 /4
Use standard precedence and associativity rules
Predicates: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=
public class Demo {public static void main (String[] argv) {
boolean b;
b = (2 + 2 == 4);
System.out.println(b);
}
}
12
Every method is defined inside a Java class definitionpublic class Movie {
public static int movieRating(int s, int a, int d) {return s+a+d;
}}public class Demo {
public static void main (String argv[]) {int script = 6, acting = 9, directing = 8;displayRating(script, acting, directing);
}public static void displayRating(int s, int a, int d){
System.out.print(“The rating of this movie is”);System.out.println(Movie.movieRating(s, a, d));
}}
13
Typical flow of control statements: if-then-else, while, switch, do-while, and blocksclass ImprovedFibo { static final int MAX_INDEX = 10; public static void main (String[] args) { int lo = 1; int hi = 1; String mark = null; for (int i = 2; i < MAX_INDEX; i++) { if ((i % 2) == 0) mark = " *"; else mark = ""; System.out.println(i+ ": " + hi + mark); hi = lo + hi; lo = hi - lo; }}}
14
Classes: templates for constructing instances Fields
Instance variables Static variables
Methods Instance Static
class Point {public double x, y;
}Point lowerleft = new Point();Point upperRight = new Point();Point middlePoint = new Point();lowerLeft.x = 0.0; lowerLeft.y = 0.0;upperRight.x = 1280.0; upperRight.y = 1024.0middlePoint.x = 640.0; middlePoint.y = 512.0
15
Instance methods take an implicit parameter: instance on which method is invokedpublic class Movie {
public int script, acting, directing;public int rating() {return script + acting + directing;
}}public class Demo {
public static void main (String argv[]) {Movie m = new Movie();m.script = 6; m.acting = 9; m.directing = 8;System.out.print(“The rating of this movie is”);System.out.println(m.rating());
}}
16
Inheritance: mechanism for extending behavior of classes; leads to construction of hierarchy of classes [Note: no multiple inheritance]
What happens when class C extends class D: Inherits instance variables Inherits static variables Inherits instance methods Inherits static methods C can:
Add new instance variables Add new methods (static and dynamic) Modify methods (only implementation) Cannot delete anything

public class Attraction {public int minutes;public Attraction() {minutes = 75;}public int getMinutes() {return minutes;}public void setMinutes(int d) {minutes = d;}
}public class Movie extends Attraction {
public int script, acting, directing;public Movie() {script = 5; acting = 5; directing = 5;}public Movie(int s, int a, int d) {
script = s; acting = a; directing = d;} public int rating() {return script + acting + directing;}
}public class Symphony extends Attraction {
public int playing, music, conducting;public Symphony() {playing = music = conducting = 5;}public Symphony(int p, int m, int c) {
playing = p; music = m; conducting = c;} public int rating() {return playing + music + conducting;}
}
19
Abstract class: Merely a place holder for class definitions; cannot be used to create instances.;public abstract class Attraction {
public int minutes;public Attraction() {minutes = 75;}public int getMinutes() {return minutes;}public void setMinutes(int d) {minutes = d;}public abstract void m();
}
Following is an error:Attraction x;x = new Attraction();
Following is not an error:public class Movie extends Attraction { … }public class Symphony extends Attraction { … }Attraction x;x = new Movie ();x = new Symphony();

• How do we organize above classes into a single unit? Put them in file? However, only one public class per file (whose name is same as file’s)• Solution: Place several files (compilation units) into a package
units of organizing related Classes, Interfaces, Sub packages
Why? Reduce name clashing Limit visibility of names
Java programs typically organized in terms of packages and subpackages Each package may then be divided into several
packages, subpackages, and classes Each class can then be stored in a separate file
Each source file starts with something like:package mypackage;
Code in source file is now part of mypackage

package onto.java.entertainment;public class Movie extends class Attraction {…}
22
package onto.java.entertainment;import java.io.*;import java.util.*;public class Auxiliaries { … }
package onto.java.entertainment;public abstract class Attraction { … }
•Where to store packages?
•How does Java find packages?
•Export and Import
•Access control
public class A { public void foo() throws MyException { if(aBadThingHappened()) { throw new MyException(); } } public void bar() { try { this.foo(); } catch (MyException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
public class MyException extends Exception { public MyException() {} public MyException(String message) { super(String message); }}
23
public class A { public void foo() throws MyException { throw new MyException(); } } public void bar() { try { this.foo(); } catch (MyException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (YourException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { ... // always executed before leaving the try/catch } } }

public – any class* may access(no qualifier) “package protected” – only the
class* and classes* in the same package may access
protected – only the class* and decendent classes* may access
private – only the class* may access
The class or instances of the class (an object of the class)

public class E { void foo(A a) { this.x; a.x; } // NOT OK, E is NOT a decendent of A}
Multiple “threads” of execution within the same program, share the same memory space -> “lightweight”.
Perform multiple tasks at the same time. Work on the same task in parallel. Heavily used in user interfaces.
Web browsers: load web pages while the user can still scroll, go back, open a new window, etc.
Web servers: serve multiple requests in parallel. Can take advantage of multiple processors. Threads in Java
Java manages and schedules threads Java provides “synchronize” to help coordinate
multiple threads

public class Producerextends Thread { private Share shared;
public Producer(Share s) { shared = s; }
public void run() { for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){ shared.put(i); } }}
shared.put(0)shared.get() // 0 gottenshared.get() // 0 gotten again!!
shared.put(0)shared.put(1)shared.get() // 0 never gotten!!
public class Consumerextends Thread { private Share shared;
public Consumer(Share s) { shared = s; }
public void run() { int value; for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { value = shared.get(); } }}
// what about simultaneous// access?!shared.put(0) shared.get()
RACE CONDITIONS!
public class Share { private int s;
public synchronized int get() { ... } public synchronized void put(int s) { ... }}
34
Synchronized provides mutual exclusion on an object
For any object, only one thread may execute inside any of that object’s synchronized methods
Share s1 = new Share();Share s2 = new Share();
Thread t1 = ...;Thread t2 = ...;
t1 -> s1.get() // gets int2 -> s1.put(32) // blocks
t1 -> s1.get() // gets int2 -> s2.put(4) // gets in
public class Share { private int s; private boolean empty = true;
public synchronized int get() { while (empty == true) { try { wait(); // nothing to get, wait } catch (InterruptedException e) {} } empty = true; notifyAll(); // wakeup waiting Consumers/Producers return s; } public synchronized void put(int s) { while (empty == false) { try { wait(); // no room } catch (InterruptedException e) {} } this.s = s; empty = false; notifyAll(); // wakeup waiting Consumers/Producers }} 35
