Java Overview
•
•
•
•
•
•
Over 17 years old
Used in mobile, desktop and enterprise apps
Emphasizes code portability
Statically typed
Runs on multiple platforms (via JVM)
Did you know Android is Java-based?

More on Java
• Object-Oriented programming language
– How we think about the world (nouns and verbs)
• Java is the 1st or 2nd most popular, depending
on who you ask and when
Avon High School Tech Club
11
Java Variables
• Variable Naming Conventions:
– Variable names must start with a lowercase letter
– Variable names can’t have spaces in them
– Variable names can have numbers in them, but they
can’t start with them
– Variables can’t have any symbols in them except for
an underscore ( the _ character)
• Achieved in Java using Types

float
float f = (float) 4.5;
Decimal

Java Conditionals
if(this is true){
do this
}
else{
do this instead
}
Avon High School Tech Club
15
Java Conditionals
if(x > 10){
System.out.println(“x is big!”);
}
else{
System.out.println(“x is small!”);
}
/* System.out.println() just tells Java to print what’s in the quotes. */
Avon High School Tech Club
16
Java Loops
/* Keep doing this until it isn’t true anymore */
while(this is true){
do domething
}
/* Or repeat something an exact number of times */
for(counter = 0; counter < 10; counter = counter + 1){
do this every time
}
Avon High School Tech Club
17
Java Loops
/* Find the average of 10 of numbers */
int counter;
float sum = 0;
for(counter = 0; counter < 10; counter = counter + 1){
sum = sum + nextNumber;
}
float average = sum / 10;
For now, we’ll pretend that nextNumber comes from somewhere

Java Functions/Methods
• There are many situations where you will write
code that you want to use again, executing the
same instructions but on a different set of data.
• This is why we use functions/methods
• In the System.out.println() example, the
String in quotes is the argument. The job of
System.out.println()is to print its
argument to the screen
• Arguments can be variables or constants, it
depends on the method
Avon High School Tech Club
19
Java Functions/Methods
• Functions/Methods:
– Reusable, named chunks of code
– You’ve seen a Method already:
• System.out.println()
• Methods can take in arguments, represents
data that the method will manipulate
Avon High School Tech Club
20
Java Functions/Methods Example
/* First we must define a method */
int addTwoIntegers(int a, int b){
int sum = a + b;
return sum;
Method Name
}
Arguments
Return Type
Method Body
Return Value
Avon High School Tech Club
21
Java Functions/Methods Example
/* First we must define a method */
int addTwoIntegers(int a, int b){
return a + b;
}
/* Then we use the method */
addTwoIntegers(10,15);
/* 25! */
/* We can treat a method like it is a variable
of its return type */
int x = addTwoIntegers(10, 15); /* x is 25 */

Java Programming Tips
• Increment and Decrement an integer (add or
subtract 1)
– Instead of x = x + 1 use x++ or ++x (use -- for
decrement)
– All of the arithmetic operators can be “combined” with
an equal sign
– Instead of x = x + 12 we can use x += 12
– Also -=, *=, /=
– The - sign is used for subtraction as well as negative
numbers
Avon High School Tech Club
23
Java Programming Tips
• Equals like assignment vs. equals like
comparison
– We use = to assign a value to a variable, so how do
we ask if something is equal to something else?
– == means “is equal to”
• When you’re “reading” code, you should read “=”
as “becomes” and “==” as “is equal to”

Getting Started with Java
• Download Java Development Kit (JDK)
– http://tinyurl.com/355cx3m
– http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downl
oads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
• Download JDK + NetBeans

Steps to Creating a Java Application
Source Code
(.java)
Avon High School Tech Club
Compiler
(javac)
Bytecode
(.class)
Execute
(java)
35
Step 1: Source Code
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
Avon High School Tech Club
36
Step 1: Source Code
• Every application begins with a class definition
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
Avon High School Tech Club
37
Step 1: Source Code
• In the Java programming language, every application must
contain a main method, where app starts to execute:
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
• The public keyword is called an access modifier,
meaning it can be accessed by code outside the class
Avon High School Tech Club
38
Step 1: Source Code
• In the Java programming language, every application must
contain a main method, where app starts to execute:
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
• The static keyword means main can be called before
an object of the class has been created.

39
Step 1: Source Code
• In the Java programming language, every application must
contain a main method, where app starts to execute:
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
• The void keyword tells the compiler main does not return
a value.

Step 1: Source Code
• In the Java programming language, every application must
contain a main method, where app starts to execute:
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
• The String declares a parameter named args of type
String (array)
Avon High School Tech Club
41
Step 1: Source Code
• The last line uses the System class from the core library
to print the "Hello World!" message to standard output.
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
Avon High School Tech Club
42
Step 1: Source Code
• The last line uses the System class from the core library
to print the "Hello World!" message to standard output.
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}

43
Step 2: Compile Your Code
javac HelloWorld.java
• Provided there are no compilation errors, you
should now have a .class file:
HelloWorld.class
Avon High School Tech Club
44
Step 3: Execute Your Application
java HelloWorld
Hello World!
Avon High School Tech Club
Holla!
You just created
your first
Java App!

PATH on Windows
Enter javac at command prompt, if you receive an error,
install the JDK
If JDK is installed, you may need to set the PATH
At the command prompt:
set path=%path%;“C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin"
