    Year 2, Academic Year 2019-2020, Trimester 2


    Chap1: Introduction
    • Java is a high level programming language developed
    by James Gosling from Sun Microsystem in 1995
    • Java has a compiler (Javac) and Interpreter named Java
    Virtual Machine(JVM)
    • Java is a pure Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
    language
    • Java Runtime Environment(JRE) has required software
    tools to run Java Programs
    • JRE and JVM are components of Java Development
    Kit(JDK) which has built-in classes and libraries called
    packages
    Year 2, Academic Year 2019-2020,
    Trimester 2
    Java Installation
    • First we install JDK (1.8 will be installed)
    • Java Integrated Development Environment
    (IDE) for this Module we will use NetBeans 8
    as Java IDE
    • We then set environment variables correctly
    • MySQL Server will installed in order to
    connect Java Programs to Database

    Year 2, Academic Year 2019-2020,


    Trimester 2
    Java Application
    • Java2SE (Java 2 Standard Edition) is a computing
    platform for development and deployment of small
    scale software for desktop and server environment
    • Java2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) used for
    developing, building and deploying Web-based
    enterprise applications online. Java2EE is used to
    develop large scale enterprise applications
    (Distributed, Concurrent, Web)
    • Java2ME(Java 2 Micro Edition) is Java programming
    for hand held devices such as smart phones and
    PDAs

    Trimester 2
    Main Components of Java
    • Application Programming Interface (API), An API
    includes classes, interfaces, packages and also
    their methods, variables, and constructors.
    • User defined classes
    • Methods and Variables
    • Interfaces
    • Packages
    • Frameworks

    Trimester 2
    Basics in Java Programming
    Simple Java Program:
    public class MyClass{
    public static void main(String args[]){
    System.out.println(“Hello World");
    }
    }
    ▪ Every Java program must have at least one class
    ▪ Execution of Java Program is done in main method
    ▪ Java is case sensitive: main=Main
    ▪ Our simple program displays Hello World on Screen

    Year 2, Academic Year 2019-2020,


    Trimester 2
    Variables and Methods
    • Variables are used to store values in memory
    • There are 2 types of variables: Global and Local variables
    • Global variables are declared before any method (even
    main method) and are accessed throughout the whole
    program
    • Local variables are declared inside the method and are
    accessed only the method in which they are declared
    • A method defines a group of statements that can be
    executed together
    • There are 3 types of methods: Method with arguments,
    Method without arguments and Constructor

    Trimester 2
    Example of Variables and Method without arguments

    public class Mymethod{


    public static int a,b;//glogal variables a and b
    Public static void int sum() {
    //Method without argument Variables and Methods that
    are not defined in a User
    a=5; defined class must be static
    b=10; as they are accessed in main
    int c=a+b;//local variable c method which is static
    System.out.println("Sum="+c)
    }
    Public static void main(String args[]){
    sum();
    }
    }
    Year 2, Academic Year 2019-2020,
    Trimester 2
    Example of Method with arguments

    public class MethodArg{


    public static double c;
    public static double quotient(doouble a, double b)
    {
    c=a/b;
    System.out.println(“Quotient"+c); ▪ When data type of a method is not
    return 0; void we must use return keyword,
    Variable b should not be zero, we use
    }
    + for addition and concatenation
    public static void main(String args[]){
    quotient(20.5,2.5)
    }
    }

    Trimester 2
    Compiling a Java Program
    • A Java program is called Java Source Code
    with a .java extension
    • After compiling a Java Program we create a
    .class file called Java Bytecode
    • Java is a platform independent which means
    Java bytecode can run on any patform
    • The Java Bytecode is a binary file, to run it we
    need JVM which can interpret it
