Study Notes

Compiler and File Extensions

A compiler translates source code into executable object code.
The .class extension signifies Java byte code.
The .java extension indicates a file containing Java source code.

Output and Print Statements

System.out.println("hello"); followed by System.out.println("world"); outputs:
```
hello
world
```
System.out.print("hello") followed by System.out.print("world") outputs:
```
helloworld
```

Methods and Language Types

A method encapsulates program statements to perform tasks and hides implementation details, similar to a car pedal.
Natural Language is not classified as a general type of computer language (compared to Machine and Assembly Language).

Java Class and Syntax

If a Java class is named Printer, the source file must be saved as Printer.java.
A syntax error, such as in System.outt.println("Hello");, prevents the program from compiling.

Java Output Basics

To print a blank line in Java, use System.out.println();.
System.out.print("The sum is "); System.out.println("7+3"); results in:
```
The sum is 7+3
```
System.out.print("The sum is "); System.out.println(7+3); outputs:
```
The sum is 10
```

Numerical Operations and Errors

Java rounds division, so 10/4 gives a result of 2 instead of the expected 2.5.
Floating-point arithmetic can yield unexpected results, as in the case of 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1, giving 0.30000000000000004.
Adding two large integers, 2000000000 + 2000000000, can lead to an overflow, resulting in -294967296.

Java Compilation and Execution

A java compiler converts Java source code into byte code.
A java virtual machine is necessary to run the byte code.
The Java programming language is about 20 years old, with its current major version being 9.

Structural Elements of a Java Program

Java programming typically involves a class containing multiple methods.
The Java Virtual Machine identifies the method to execute first based on the main method.

Data Types and Errors

A sequence of characters in quotes is called a String.
Missing quotation marks in System.out.println(Hi there!); will cause a compile-time error.
Exceptions in Java represent run-time errors.
Logic errors occur when the program runs incorrectly, such as printing "hello" instead of "goodbye".

Computer Components and IDE Features

The CPU is responsible for executing instructions in a computer.
An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) may include features like editors, code formatters, debuggers, and compilers.
To fix indentation in Dr.Java, select all text and press Tab.

Interactive Results in Dr.Java

In Dr.Java's Interactions Pane:
- Typing 47/10 yields 4.
- 1 + .1 results in 1.1.
- "cat".length returns 3.
- "13" + "14" concatenates to 1314.

Dr.Java Preferences

Dr.Java's preferences allow customization, including right margin position, font size and color, and displaying line numbers.
