Study Notes

Programming Concepts

  • Multiprogramming: A scheduling technique that improves system throughput by reducing idle time.
  • LAN (Local Area Network): A network structure that connects a limited geographical area, typically not a computer.
  • Java: A widely utilized programming language for computer networking and distributed client/server applications.
  • Internet: A vast global network connecting millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks.

Programming Languages

  • Compilers: Software that converts high-level programming languages into machine language for execution.
  • Spoken Languages: Not classified as one of the three main types of computer languages.
  • C or C++: Predominantly used languages for developing new major operating systems.
  • C++: Recognized as a hybrid object-oriented programming language.

Java Specifics

  • Java Development: Initially created for intelligent consumer devices; it emphasizes portability with its class libraries.
  • Java Class Files: Files produced by the Java compiler, denoted with the .class extension.
  • Execution Command: The command java is used to run Java applications.

Software Design and Methodologies

  • Unified Modeling Language (UML): A visual language enabling software designers to represent systems using standard notations.
  • Object-oriented programming: A programming paradigm that describes software in terms of real-world objects.
  • Ajax: A technique allowing Internet applications to function similarly to desktop applications.
  • Refactoring: A practice within agile development methodologies aimed at improving code structure without altering functionality.

Comments and Syntax

  • End-of-line Comments: Represented in Java using two forward slashes (//), allowing the compiler to ignore them.
  • Java Identifiers: Must adhere to specific rules; for example, “my Value” is not a valid identifier due to the space.
  • Syntax Errors: Not all formatting issues, such as extra blank lines, generate syntax errors in Java code.

Output and Format Specification

  • System.out.println(): Standard method for outputting data, with various forms generating specific result outputs such as System.out.print("Hello "); System.out.println("World");, which results in "Hello World".
  • Escape Characters: The backslash (\) is the key escape character for special formatting in strings.

Input and Output Handling

  • Printing with printf: The method System.out.printf utilizes format specifiers, with %s as a placeholder for strings.
  • Variable Declaration: Import statements, like import java.util.Scanner;, enable usage of classes within Java programs.

Java Data Types and Operations

  • Primitive Types: Java comprises several primitive types; "real" is not one of them.
  • Memory Alteration: Declaration statements such as int a; do not modify memory locations until assigned.
  • Operators Precedence: Arithmetic operators evaluated in Java follow a specific order: *, /, %, +, - from highest to lowest priority.

Conditional Statements

  • Relational Operators: Java supports relational checks; example provided where System.out.println("a < b") executes if condition met.
  • Output of Conditions: Proper understanding of relational, equality, and logical operators is essential for flow control and conditional logic.

These notes provide a concise overview of key programming concepts, Java language specifics, syntax rules, and operations relevant to Chapters 1 and 2.
