 Getting Started with Java
Programming
A Simple Java Application
 Compiling Programs
 Executing Applications
 A Simple Application
Example 1.1
//This application program prints Welcome
//to Java!
public class Welcome
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");
}
}

 Primitive Data Types and Operations
 Identifiers,
Variables, and Constants
 Primitive Data Types
– Byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, boolean
 Operators
– +, -, *, /, %, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, ++, --
 Expressions
 Styleand Documentation
 Syntax Errors, Runtime Errors, and Logic Errors
Numerical Data Types

byte 8 bits
short 16 bits
int 32 bits
long 64 bits
float 32 bits
double 64 bits
 Control Statements
SelectionStatements
–Using if and if...else
–Nested if Statements
–Using switch Statements
–Conditional Operator
Repetition Statements
–Looping: while, do, and for
–Nested loops
–Using break and continue
 Selection Statements
 if Statements
 switch Statements
 Conditional Operators
 if Statements
if (booleanExpression)
{
statement(s);
}

Example:
if ((i >= 0) && (i <= 10))
{
System.out.println("i is an “ +
“integer between 0 and 10");
}
 The if...else Statement
if (booleanExpression)
{
statement(s)-for-the-true-case;
}
else
{
statement(s)-for-the-false-case;
}
 Repetitions
 while Loops
 do Loops
 for Loops
 break and continue
 Introducing Methods
Method Structure
A method is modifier methodName

a collection returnValueType parameters

of method
heading
public static int max(int num1, int num2)
{
statements method
int result = 0;

that are body

if (num1 > num2)
result = num1;
grouped else
result = num2;
together to return result;

perform an }

return value
operation.
 Declaring Methods

public static int max(int num1,

int num2)
{
if (num1 > num2)
return num1;
else
return num2;
}
 Passing Parameters
void nPrintln(String message, int n)
{
for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
System.out.println(message);
}
 Object-Oriented Programming

– Objects and Classes

– Class Inheritance
 Exception Handling
 Exceptionsand Exception Types
 Claiming Exceptions
 Throwing Exceptions
 Catching Exceptions
 The finally Clause
