Introducing Programming with an
Example
Computing the Area of a Circle
This program computes the area of the
circle.

animation
// Assign a radius
radius = 20;
// Compute area
area = radius * radius * 3.14159;
// Display results
System.out.println("The area for the circle of radius " +
radius + " is " + area);
}
}

animation
// Assign a radius
radius = 20;
allocate memory
for area
// Compute area
area = radius * radius * 3.14159;
// Display results
System.out.println("The area for the circle of radius " +
radius + " is " + area);
}
}

animation
// Compute area

// Display results
System.out.println("The area for the circle of radius " +
radius + " is " + area);
}

radius + " is " + area);
}
}
7

console
// Display results
System.out.println("The area for the circle of radius " +
radius + " is " + area);
}
}

Reading Input from the Console
1. Import the scanner class
import java.util.Scanner;
12
Variables
// Compute the first area
radius = 1.0;
area = radius * radius * 3.14159;
System.out.println("The area is “ +
area + " for radius "+radius);
13
Declaring Variables
int x; // Declare x to be an
// integer variable;
double radius; // Declare radius to
// be a double variable;
char a; // Declare a to be a
// character variable;
14
Assignment Statements
x = 1; // Assign 1 to x;

Numeric Operators

% Remainder 20 % 3 2
19
Integer Division
+, -, *, /, and %
5 / 2 yields an integer 2.
5.0 / 2 yields a double value 2.5
20
Remainder Operator
Remainder is very useful in programming. For example, an
even number % 2 is always 0 and an odd number % 2 is always
1. So you can use this property to determine whether a number
is even or odd. Suppose today is Saturday and you and your
friends are going to meet in 10 days. What day is in 10
days? You can find that day is Tuesday using the following
expression:
21
Problem: Displaying Time
Write a program that obtains hours and minutes from seconds.
import java.util.Scanner;
22
NOTE
Calculations involving floating-point numbers are
approximated because these numbers are not stored
with complete accuracy. For example,
System.out.println(1.0 - 0.1 - 0.1 - 0.1 - 0.1 - 0.1);
displays 0.5000000000000001, not 0.5, and
System.out.println(1.0 - 0.9);
displays 0.09999999999999998, not 0.1. Integers are
stored precisely. Therefore, calculations with integers
yield a precise integer result.
23
Numeric Literals 24
75//decimal 75 // int
0b or 0B110 // binary 75l // long
0113 // octal
0x4b // hexadecimal
int i = 34;
long x = 1000000;
double d = 5.0;
25
Integer Literals
An integer literal can be assigned to an integer variable as
long as it can fit into the variable. A compilation error
would occur if the literal were too large for the variable to
hold. For example, the statement byte b = 1000 would
cause a compilation error, because 1000 cannot be stored
in a variable of the byte type.
An integer literal is assumed to be of the int type, whose
value is between -231 (-2147483648) to 231–1
(2147483647). To denote an integer literal of the long
type, append it with the letter L or l. L is preferred because
l (lowercase L) can easily be confused with 1 (the digit
one).
26
Floating-Point Literals
Floating-point literals are written with a decimal
point. By default, a floating-point literal is treated
as a double type value. For example, 5.0 is
considered a double value, not a float value. You
can make a number a float by appending the letter f
or F, and make a number a double by appending
the letter d or D. For example, you can use 100.2f
or 100.2F for a float number, and 100.2d or 100.2D
for a double number.
27
Scientific Notation
Floating-point literals can also be specified in
scientific notation, for example, 1.23456e+2,
same as 1.23456e2, is equivalent to 123.456, and
1.23456e-2 is equivalent to 0.0123456. E (or e)
represents an exponent and it can be either in
lowercase or uppercase.

How to Evaluate an Expression
Though Java has its own way to evaluate an
expression behind the scene, the result of a Java
expression and its corresponding arithmetic expression
are the same. Therefore, you can safely apply the
arithmetic rule for evaluating a Java expression.

3 + 4 * 4 + 5 * 7 – 1

Problem: Converting Temperatures
Write a program that converts a Fahrenheit degree
to Celsius using the formula:
celsius ( 95 )( fahrenheit 32)
31
Problem: Converting Temperatures
1 import java.util.Scanner;
2
3 public class FahrenheitToCelsius {
4 public static void main(String[] args) {
5 Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
6
7 System.out.print("Enter a degree in Fahrenheit: ");
8 double fahrenheit = input.nextDouble();
9
10 // Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
11 double celsius = (5.0 / 9) * (fahrenheit - 32);
12 System.out.println("Fahrenheit " + fahrenheit + " is " +
13 celsius + " in Celsius");
14 }
15 }

Shortcut Assignment Operators
Operator Example Equivalent
+= i += 8 i = i + 8
-= f -= 8.0 f = f - 8.0
*= i *= 8 i = i * 8
/= i /= 8 i = i / 8
%= i %= 8 i = i % 8
33
Increment and
Decrement Operators
Operator Name Description
++var preincrement The expression (++var) increments var by 1
and evaluates
to the new value in var after the increment.
var++ postincrement The expression (var++) evaluates to the
original value
in var and increments var by 1.
--var predecrement The expression (--var) decrements var by 1
and evaluates
to the new value in var after the decrement.
var-- postdecrement The expression (var--) evaluates to the
original value
in var and decrements var by 1.

35
Increment and
Decrement Operators, cont.
Using increment and decrement operators makes
expressions short, but it also makes them complex and
difficult to read. Avoid using these operators in expressions
that modify multiple variables, or the same variable for
multiple times such as this: int k = ++i + i.
36
Increment and Decrement Operators
1: class PrePostFixTest {
2:
3: public static void main (String args[]) {
4: int x = 0;
5: int y = 0;
6:
7: System.out.println(“x and y are “ + x + “ and “ + y );
8: x++;
9: System.out.println(“x++ results in “ + x);
10: ++x;
11: System.out.println(“++x results in “ + x);
12: System.out.println(“Resetting x back to 0.”);
13: x = 0;
14: System.out.println(“——————”);
15: y = x++;
16: System.out.println(“y = x++ (postfix) results in:”);
17: System.out.println(“x is “ + x);
18: System.out.println(“y is “ + y);
19: System.out.println(“——————”);
20:
21: y = ++x;
22: System.out.println(“y = ++x (prefix) results in:”);
23: System.out.println(“x is “ + x);
24: System.out.println(“y is “ + y);
25: System.out.println(“——————”); } }
37
Assignment Expressions and
Assignment Statements
Prior to Java 2, all the expressions can be used as
statements. Since Java 2, only the following types of
expressions can be statements:
variable op= expression; // Where op is +, -, *, /, or %
++variable;
variable++;
--variable;
variable--;
38
Numeric Type Conversion
Consider the following statements:
byte i = 100;
long k = i * 3 + 4;
double d = i * 3.1 + k / 2;
39
Conversion Rules
When performing a binary operation involving two
operands of different types, Java automatically
converts the operand based on the following rules:
40
Type Casting
Implicit casting
double d = 3; (type widening)
Explicit casting
int i = (int)3.0; (type narrowing)
int i = (int)3.9; (Fraction part is
truncated)
What is wrong? int x = 5 / 2.0;
range increases

61
The String Type
The char type only represents one character. To represent a string
of characters, use the data type called String. For example,
String is actually a predefined class in the Java library just like the
System class and JOptionPane class. The String type is not a
primitive type. It is known as a reference type. Any Java class can
be used as a reference type for a variable. Reference data types
will be thoroughly discussed in Chapter 7, “Objects and Classes.”
For the time being, you just need to know how to declare a String
variable, how to assign a string to the variable, and how to
concatenate strings.
62
String Concatenation
// Three strings are concatenated
String message = "Welcome " + "to " + "Java";
