Study Notes

  • Data flow in a computer system involves input, storage in RAM, manipulation by the CPU, and output.
  • Java programming involves commands to read data, store data in variables, perform calculations, and output data.

Basic Java Program Structure

  • import arc.*; imports libraries for extra Java commands.
  • Libraries provide access to input/output devices and advanced CPU math functions (sound, 3D, network).
  • public class basics1{ } defines the program's title, which cannot have spaces or start with a number.
  • The file should be saved with the same title and the .java extension.
  • public static void main(String[] args){ } represents the main function, where the program's execution begins.
  • Console con = new Console(); accesses the console, a popup window for input and output.

Input/Output

  • con.println("Hello World"); prints the text within the quotes to the console window.

RAM and Keyboard Commands

  • String strName; reserves space in RAM for a variable named strName to store String data (words, letters, punctuation, phrases, or numbers).
  • strName = con.readLine(); reads a line of String data from the keyboard and stores it in the strName variable.
  • con.println("The best person is: "+strName); prints the text within the quotes along with the data stored in the strName variable.

Integer Variables and CPU Math

  • int intAge; reserves space in RAM for a variable named intAge to store integer data (whole numbers).
  • intAge = con.readInt(); reads integer data from the keyboard and stores it in the intAge variable.
  • intDays = intAge * 365; performs a CPU calculation and stores the result in the intDays variable.

Math Operators

  • * is the multiplication operator.
  • / is the division operator.
  • + is the addition operator.
  • - is the subtraction operator.
  • % is the modulus operator, which returns the remainder of integer division (e.g., 17%5 = 2).
  • () are brackets to force the order of operations.

Double Variables

  • double db1Mark1; reserves space in RAM for a variable named dblMark1 to store double data (numbers with a decimal point).
  • db1Mark1 = con.readDouble (); reads numbers with decimal data from the keyboard and stores it in the dblMark1 variable.

Variable Naming Style

  • All variables should start with three letters representing the variable type.
  • str is for String.
  • int is for Integer.
  • dbl is for Double.
  • The rest of the variable name should represent the data that is going into the variable.

Comments

  • // indicates a comment, which is not code and is not converted to binary.
  • Comments can explain what is happening in the code.
  • Comments facilitate communication with team members.

Math Functions

  • dblResult = Math.sqrt(dblNumber); calculates the square root of a number.
  • dblResult = Math.pow(dblBase, dblExponent); calculates the power or exponent.
  • dblResult = Math.round(dblNumber); rounds a number to the nearest whole number.
  • dblResult = Math.sin(dblRadians); calculates the sine of an angle in radians.
  • dblResult = Math.cos(dblRadians); calculates the cosine of an angle in radians.
  • dblResult = Math.tan(dblRadians); calculates the tangent of an angle in radians.
  • dblRadians = Math.toRadians(dblDegrees) converts an angle from degrees to radians. Java trig uses radians.
