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
javais 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.printfutilizes format specifiers, with%sas 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.
