    Study Notes

    Common Programming Errors

    • Run-time Error: An error that causes a program to take an unintended action.
    • Logic Error: A program that is written correctly but does not function as expected.

    Java Programming Basics

    • Method: Sequences of programming instructions that perform a specific task.
    • IDE (Integrated Development Environment): A software package providing tools like editors, compilers, and debuggers.
    • Flowcharts: Use parallelograms to represent processing.
    • Java Source Code Files: End with the file extension "java".
    • Java Compilation: Compiles into a "class" file.
    • Java Version Check: Use the command "java -version" to display the version.
    • File Naming Conventions: The public class name must match the filename, even in capitalization.

    Java Syntax and Data Types

    • Variables: Hold data values.
    • Assignment Operator ("="): Sets a variable to a value. Example: total = 1 + 3
    • Identifiers: Names given to variables, methods, and classes.
    • Valid Identifiers: Must start with a letter or underscore, and can contain letters, digits, and underscores.

    Calling Methods and Parameters

    • Method Calls: Use the method name followed by parentheses. Example: System.out.println.
    • Parameters: Values passed to methods to modify their behavior.

    Objects and Classes

    • Objects: Encapsulate data and methods.
    • Creating Objects: Use the "new" keyword.
    • Object References: Variables hold references to objects.
    • Java Packages: Provide classes for common functionality:
      • java.lang: Provides core classes used in all Java programs.
      • java.util: Contains classes like arrays, maps, and lists.

    Debugging in Eclipse

    • Breakpoints: Pause program execution at specific lines.
    • Toggle Breakpoint: Add or remove breakpoints in Eclipse.
    • Debugging Commands:
      • Step Into: Execute a line of code within a method.
      • Step Over: Execute a line of code, skipping any method calls.
      • Step Return: Execute a line of code, returning from a method.
      • Terminate: End the debugging session.

    Access Modifiers

    • Private: Access restricted to the class itself.
    • Public: Access allowed from any location.
    • Protected: Access for the class, subclasses, and packages.
