Study Notes
Methods in Java
- Parameters allow methods to operate on different data without changing the method's code.
- The return type specifies the type of value returned by a method; common return types include
int,void, etc. - Method Definition Example:
public int add(int a, int b)defines a methodaddthat returns an integer value.- The body of the method is enclosed in
{}, executing operations likereturn a + b;.
- Method Calling Example:
public void demoAdd()showcases calling theaddmethod and printing the result.
Output Formatting in Java
System.out.printlnoutputs data to the console and appends a newline character.- To avoid a newline, utilize
System.out.print. - Common use cases for output include debugging, logging, and user interfaces.
- The method accepts any data type as an expression, providing its string representation.
Formatting Techniques
- printf Method:
- Writes formatted strings to the output using format specifiers that begin with
%, e.g.,System.out.printf("Name: %s, Age: %d\n", "John Doe", 30);.
- Writes formatted strings to the output using format specifiers that begin with
- String.format Method:
- Similar to
printf, but returns a formatted string instead of printing it immediately. - Example:
String formattedString = String.format("Height: %.1f cm", 172.3);.
- Similar to
- DecimalFormat Class:
- Offers advanced number formatting capabilities, including custom patterns for decimal places and grouping.
- Example:
DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat("#,###.00");.
Input Handling in Java
- The Scanner class from
java.utilreads user input, available for different data types. - Process for reading input includes:
- Importing the Scanner class.
- Creating an instance with
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);. - Reading inputs using methods like
nextInt()ornextLine(). - Closing the scanner post-usage for resource management.
- Example code reads user name and age, then prints a greeting.
Operators in Java
- Unary Operators: Operate on a single operand; for instance, increment (
++), decrement (--), and logical NOT (!). - Binary Operators: Require two operands for operations such as addition (
+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), modulus (%), and equality checks (==,!=).
Decision Making and Branching
- If...else Statements: Control flow based on boolean conditions.
- Standard syntax distinguishes blocks of code executed based on the condition being true or false.
- Example illustrates basic time-based greeting outputs.
- Shorthand If...else: The ternary operator provides a compact syntax to assign values based on conditions, e.g.,
result = (time < 18) ? "Good day." : "Good evening.";.
Switch Statements
- Used as an alternative to multiple if...else statements for clearer selection of code blocks based on expression value.
- Syntax includes defining cases and a default action:
switch(expression) { case x: // code block break; default: // default code block } - Example illustrates a switch case that determines a day of the week from a numeric value.
