Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 2 Data and Expressions Java Software Solutions Foundations of Program Design Seventh Edition John Lewis William Loftus Data and Expressions • Let's explore some other fundamental programming concepts • Chapter 2 focuses on: – character strings – primitive data – the declaration and use of variables – expressions and operator precedence – data conversions – accepting input from the user – Java applets – introduction to graphics Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Outline Character Strings Variables and Assignment Primitive Data Types Expressions Data Conversion Interactive Programs Graphics Applets Drawing Shapes Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Character Strings • A string literal is represented by putting double quotes around the text • Examples: "This is a string literal." "123 Main Street" "X" • Every character string is an object in Java, defined by the String class • Every string literal represents a String object Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. The println Method • In the Lincoln program from Chapter 1, we invoked the println method to print a character string • The System.out object represents a destination (the monitor screen) to which we can send output System.out.println ("Whatever you are, be a good one."); object method name information provided to the method (parameters) Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. The print Method • The System.out object provides another service as well • The print method is similar to the println method, except that it does not advance to the next line • Therefore anything printed after a print statement will appear on the same line • See Countdown.java Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. //******************************************************************** // Countdown.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the difference between print and println. //******************************************************************** public class Countdown { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints two lines of output representing a rocket countdown. //----------------------------------------------------------------- public static void main (String[] args) { System.out.print ("Three... "); System.out.print ("Two... "); System.out.print ("One... "); System.out.print ("Zero... "); System.out.println ("Liftoff!"); // appears on first output line System.out.println ("Houston, we have a problem."); } } Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. //******************************************************************** // Countdown.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the difference between print and println. //******************************************************************** public class Countdown { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints two lines of output representing a rocket countdown. //----------------------------------------------------------------- public static void main (String[] args) { System.out.print ("Three...

"); System.out.println ("Liftoff!"); // appears on first output line System.out.println ("Houston, we have a problem."); } } Output Three... Two... One... Zero... Liftoff! Houston, we have a problem. String Concatenation • The string concatenation operator (+) is used to append one string to the end of another "Peanut butter " + "and jelly" • It can also be used to append a number to a string • A string literal cannot be broken across two lines in a program • See Facts.java Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. //******************************************************************** // Facts.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the use of the string concatenation operator and the // automatic conversion of an integer to a string. //******************************************************************** public class Facts { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints various facts. //----------------------------------------------------------------- public static void main (String[] args) { // Strings can be concatenated into one long string System.out.println ("We present the following facts for your " + "extracurricular edification:"); System.out.println (); // A string can contain numeric digits System.out.println ("Letters in the Hawaiian alphabet: 12"); continue Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. continue // A numeric value can be concatenated to a string System.out.println ("Dialing code for Antarctica: " + 672); System.out.println ("Year in which Leonardo da Vinci invented " + "the parachute: " + 1515); System.out.println ("Speed of ketchup: " + 40 + " km per year"); } } Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. continue // A numeric value can be concatenated to a string System.out.println ("Dialing code for Antarctica: " + 672); System.out.println ("Year in which Leonardo da Vinci invented " + "the parachute: " + 1515); System.out.println ("Speed of ketchup: " + 40 + " km per year"); } } Output We present the following facts for your extracurricular edification: Letters in the Hawaiian alphabet: 12 Dialing code for Antarctica: 672 Year in which Leonardo da Vinci invented the parachute: 1515 Speed of ketchup: 40 km per year String Concatenation • The + operator is also used for arithmetic addition • The function that it performs depends on the type of the information on which it operates • If both operands are strings, or if one is a string and one is a number, it performs string concatenation • If both operands are numeric, it adds them • The + operator is evaluated left to right, but parentheses can be used to force the order • See Addition.java Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. //******************************************************************** // Addition.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the difference between the addition and string // concatenation operators. //******************************************************************** public class Addition { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Concatenates and adds two numbers and prints the results. //----------------------------------------------------------------- public static void main (String[] args) { System.out.println ("24 and 45 concatenated: " + 24 + 45); System.out.println ("24 and 45 added: " + (24 + 45)); } } Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. //******************************************************************** // Addition.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the difference between the addition and string // concatenation operators. //******************************************************************** public class Addition { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Concatenates and adds two numbers and prints the results. //----------------------------------------------------------------- public static void main (String[] args) { System.out.println ("24 and 45 concatenated: " + 24 + 45); System.out.println ("24 and 45 added: " + (24 + 45)); } } Output 24 and 45 concatenated: 2445 24 and 45 added: 69 Quick Check Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. What output is produced by the following? System.out.println ("X: " + 25); System.out.println ("Y: " + (15 + 50)); System.out.println ("Z: " + 300 + 50); Quick Check Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Variables • A variable is a name for a location in memory that holds a value • A variable declaration specifies the variable's name and the type of information that it will hold int total; int count, temp, result; Multiple variables can be created in one declaration data type variable name Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Variable Initialization • A variable can be given an initial value in the declaration int sum = 0; int base = 32, max = 149; Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. • When a variable is referenced in a program, its current value is used • See PianoKeys.java Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. //******************************************************************** // PianoKeys.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the declaration, initialization, and use of an // integer variable. //******************************************************************** public class PianoKeys { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints the number of keys on a piano. //----------------------------------------------------------------- public static void main (String[] args) { int keys = 88; System.out.println ("A piano has " + keys + " keys."); } } Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. //******************************************************************** // PianoKeys.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the declaration, initialization, and use of an // integer variable. //******************************************************************** public class PianoKeys { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints the number of keys on a piano. //----------------------------------------------------------------- public static void main (String[] args) { int keys = 88; System.out.println ("A piano has " + keys + " keys."); } } Output A piano has 88 keys. Assignment • An assignment statement changes the value of a variable • The assignment operator is the = sign total = 55; Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. • The value that was in total is overwritten • You can only assign a value to a variable that is consistent with the variable's declared type • See Geometry.java Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. //******************************************************************** // Geometry.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the use of an assignment statement to change the // value stored in a variable. //******************************************************************** public class Geometry { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints the number of sides of several geometric shapes. //----------------------------------------------------------------- public static void main (String[] args) { int sides = 7; // declaration with initialization System.out.println ("A heptagon has " + sides + " sides."); sides = 10; // assignment statement System.out.println ("A decagon has " + sides + " sides."); sides = 12; System.out.println ("A dodecagon has " + sides + " sides."); } } Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. //******************************************************************** // Geometry.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the use of an assignment statement to change the // value stored in a variable. //******************************************************************** public class Geometry { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints the number of sides of several geometric shapes. //----------------------------------------------------------------- public static void main (String[] args) { int sides = 7; // declaration with initialization System.out.println ("A heptagon has " + sides + " sides."); sides = 10; // assignment statement System.out.println ("A decagon has " + sides + " sides."); sides = 12; System.out.println ("A dodecagon has " + sides + " sides."); } } Output A heptagon has 7 sides. A decagon has 10 sides. a dodecagon has 12 sides. Constants • A constant is an identifier that is similar to a variable except that it holds the same value during its entire existence • As the name implies, it is constant, not variable • The compiler will issue an error if you try to change the value of a constant • In Java, we use the final modifier to declare a constant final int MIN_HEIGHT = 69; Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Constants • Constants are useful for three important reasons • First, they give meaning to otherwise unclear literal values – Example: MAX_LOAD means more than the literal 250 • Second, they facilitate program maintenance – If a constant is used in multiple places, its value need only be set in one place • Third, they formally establish that a value should not change, avoiding inadvertent errors by other programmers Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Outline Character Strings Variables and Assignment Primitive Data Types Expressions Data Conversion Interactive Programs Graphics Applets Drawing Shapes Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Primitive Data • There are eight primitive data types in Java • Four of them represent integers: – byte, short, int, long • Two of them represent floating point numbers: – float, double • One of them represents characters: – char • And one of them represents boolean values: – boolean Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Numeric Primitive Data • The difference between the numeric primitive types is their size and the values they can store: Type byte short int long float double Storage 8 bits 16 bits 32 bits 64 bits 32 bits 64 bits Min Value -128 -32,768 -2,147,483,648 < -9 x 1018 +/- 3.4 x 1038 with 7 significant digits +/- 1.7 x 10308 with 15 significant digits Max Value 127 32,767 2,147,483,647 > 9 x 1018 Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Characters • A char variable stores a single character • Character literals are delimited by single quotes: 'a' 'X' '7' '$' ',' '\n' • Example declarations: char topGrade = 'A'; char terminator = ';', separator = ' '; • Note the difference between a primitive character variable, which holds only one character, and a String object, which can hold multiple characters Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Character Sets • A character set is an ordered list of characters, with each character corresponding to a unique number • A char variable in Java can store any character from the Unicode character set • The Unicode character set uses sixteen bits per character, allowing for 65,536 unique characters • It is an international character set, containing symbols and characters from many world languages Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Characters • The ASCII character set is older and smaller than Unicode, but is still quite popular • The ASCII characters are a subset of the Unicode character set, including: uppercase letters lowercase letters punctuation digits special symbols control characters A, B, C, … a, b, c, … period, semi-colon, … 0, 1, 2, … &, |, \, … carriage return, tab, ... Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Boolean • A boolean value represents a true or false condition • The reserved words true and false are the only valid values for a boolean type boolean done = false; • A boolean variable can also be used to represent any two states, such as a light bulb being on or off Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Outline Character Strings Variables and Assignment Primitive Data Types Expressions Data Conversion Interactive Programs Graphics Applets Drawing Shapes Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Expressions • An expression is a combination of one or more operators and operands • Arithmetic expressions compute numeric results and make use of the arithmetic operators: Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division Remainder + - * / % Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. • If either or both operands are floating point values, then the result is a floating point value Division and Remainder • If both operands to the division operator (/) are integers, the result is an integer (the fractional part is discarded) 14 / 3 equals 4 8 / 12 equals 0 Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. • The remainder operator (%) returns the remainder after dividing the first operand by the second 14 % 3 equals 2 8 % 12 equals 8 Quick Check Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. What are the results of the following expressions? 12 / 2 12.0 / 2.0 10 / 4 10 / 4.0 4 / 10 4.0 / 10 12 % 3 10 % 3 3 % 10 Quick Check Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. What are the results of the following expressions? 12 / 2 12.0 / 2.0 10 / 4 10 / 4.0 4 / 10 4.0 / 10 12 % 3 10 % 3 3 % 10 = 6 = 6.0 = 2 = 2.5 = 0 = 0.4 = 0 = 1 = 0 Operator Precedence • Operators can be combined into larger expressions result = total + count / max - offset; • Operators have a well-defined precedence which determines the order in which they are evaluated • Multiplication, division, and remainder are evaluated before addition, subtraction, and string concatenation • Arithmetic operators with the same precedence are evaluated from left to right, but parentheses can be used to force the evaluation order Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Quick Check a + b + c + d + e a + b * c - d / e a / (b + c) - d % e a / (b * (c + (d - e))) Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. In what order are the operators evaluated in the following expressions? Quick Check a + b + c + d + e a + b * c - d / e a / (b + c) - d % e a / (b * (c + (d - e))) 1 4 3 2 3 2 4 1 2 3 4 1 4 1 2 3 Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. In what order are the operators evaluated in the following expressions? Expression Trees • The evaluation of a particular expression can be shown using an expression tree • The operators lower in the tree have higher precedence for that expression a + (b – c) / d a + / - d b c Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Assignment Revisited • The assignment operator has a lower precedence than the arithmetic operators First the expression on the right hand side of the = operator is evaluated Then the result is stored in the variable on the left hand side answer = sum / 4 + MAX * lowest; 1 4 3 2 Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Assignment Revisited • The right and left hand sides of an assignment statement can contain the same variable First, one is added to the original value of count Then the result is stored back into count (overwriting the original value) count = count + 1; Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Increment and Decrement • The increment (++) and decrement (--) operators use only one operand • The statement count++; is functionally equivalent to count = count + 1; Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Increment and Decrement • The increment and decrement operators can be applied in postfix form: count++ • or prefix form: ++count • When used as part of a larger expression, the two forms can have different effects • Because of their subtleties, the increment and decrement operators should be used with care Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Assignment Operators • Often we perform an operation on a variable, and then store the result back into that variable • Java provides assignment operators to simplify that process • For example, the statement num += count; is equivalent to num = num + count; Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Assignment Operators • There are many assignment operators in Java, including the following: Operator += -= *= /= %= Example x += y x -= y x *= y x /= y x %= y Equivalent To x = x + y x = x - y x = x * y x = x / y x = x % y Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Assignment Operators • The right hand side of an assignment operator can be a complex expression • The entire right-hand expression is evaluated first, then the result is combined with the original variable • Therefore result /= (total-MIN) % num; is equivalent to result = result / ((total-MIN) % num); Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Assignment Operators • The behavior of some assignment operators depends on the types of the operands • If the operands to the += operator are strings, the assignment operator performs string concatenation • The behavior of an assignment operator (+=) is always consistent with the behavior of the corresponding operator (+) Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Outline Character Strings Variables and Assignment Primitive Data Types Expressions Data Conversion Interactive Programs Graphics Applets Drawing Shapes Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Data Conversion • Sometimes it is convenient to convert data from one type to another • For example, in a particular situation we may want to treat an integer as a floating point value • These conversions do not change the type of a variable or the value that's stored in it – they only convert a value as part of a computation Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Data Conversion • Widening conversions are safest because they tend to go from a small data type to a larger one (such as a short to an int) • Narrowing conversions can lose information because they tend to go from a large data type to a smaller one (such as an int to a short) • In Java, data conversions can occur in three ways: – assignment conversion – promotion – casting Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
