EE5805-java-Lecture1 Introduction to java

暑期选择了java减轻下学期的课量，在本科期间就已经学过Java了，现在写一些笔记作为复习。

The Goal

• To understand the Java runtime environment.
• To know Java’s terminologies, advantages and characteristics.
• To recognize the form of identifiers.
• To learn Java primitive data types and object types.
• To become familiar with Java programming style and naming conventions.
• To create, compile, and run a simple Java program.
• To understand method overloading.
• To determine the scope of local variables.
• To understand Array of Java.
• To recognize the multidimensional form of arrays.
• To learn common String operations in Java.
• To use the Character class to process a single character.
• To use the StringBuffer class to process flexible strings.
• To learn how to pass strings to the main method from the command line.

Why Java

• Simple and Object-oriented
• Distributed
• Interpreted,portable and architecture-neutral
• Robust and secure
• Dynamic

Java is OO Language

OO encourages the use of object to model or represent program
At here,class(definition of objects),is a blueprint for building objects or a construct which you can specify the features.
Data field and method defined in a class.

Modifier and method

• A modifier is used to specify the properties of the data,
  methods, and classes.
• Some common modifiers are public, protected, private, final,
  static and abstract.

Identifiers

letters, digits,_ and $
1:cannot be start with digits
2:cannot be reserved word
3:cannot be true/false/or null

The process

1:Declaration(int x;)
2:Assignment(x=1;)
3:combine 1 and 2 ->Initialization(int x=1;)

Constants

We can use final to decorate the variable
　　对于一个final变量，如果是基本数据类型的变量，则其数值一旦在初始化之后便不能更改；如果是引用类型的变量，则在对其初始化之后便不能再让其指向另一个对象。

Comments

1. // single line
2. /* multiple
   lines
   */
3. /** multiple
   line
   */

Naming Conventions

1. variable and method names：aaaBbb
2. class names:AaaBbb
3. constants: AB(all Upper letter)

Passing Arguments（传参）

here parameters：形式参数
arguments：实际参数
There are two ways to pass an grgument
1:passed by value(all primitive data belongs this type)
2:passed by reference(objects are passed by reference)

Overloading methods

Here,you should know firstly:
Method signature=method name+parameter lists

So,the Overloading method means:Two methods can be declared with different signatures, hence using same name but different parameter lists is allowed(test)

Scope of Variables

1. Data field(of class):inside a class and outside a method
2. local variable(of method):inside a method

Arrays

1. This is a data structure
2. Java Array is an object which is a reference type, no matter what type of elements it contains
3. An array’s size is fixed once created
   -> arrayRefVar.length
4. Default value on creation
   -> 0 for the numeric primitive data types,
   -> ‘\u0000’ for char types, and
   -> false for boolean types.
5. Array’s elements accessed through index
   -> array indices are 0-based
6. Cannot same with int creation and assignment
   
   should:
   
   For the two-dimensional arrays:
   
   array.length:->row
   array[0].length:->col

The string class

1. construct a string：

• String message =“welcome to Java”
• String message=new String(“welcom……”)
• String s=new String();
  (String object is immutable )

2. Finding length:

• message.length()(returns 7)

3. Concatenating Strings:

• concat()/or is same
  

4. Extracting Substrings

• substring(start, end)returns a string from start to (end-1)

5. Comparing Strings

• Using equals()/**==**operator to compare two strings
• 

6. Converting Strings

• The contents of a string cannot be changed once the string is created.But you can convert a string to a new string using the following methods
• 

7. Searching a character or a substring

• To search forward, use indexOf();
• To search backward, use lastIndexOf();
• 

8. Converting Other Types to Strings

• use valueOf()

The character class

1. To construct a Character object: Character charObject=new Character(‘b’);
2. To compare two characters:
   

The StringBuffer Class(Thread Safe)

1. The StringBuffer class is an alternative to the String class. In general, a StringBuffer can be used wherever a string is used (drop-in replacement)
2. StringBuffer is mutable, hence more flexible than String

public class StringBufferDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("Hello");
        sb.append(" World");
        sb.insert(5, ",");
        sb.delete(5, 6);
        System.out.println(sb.toString());
    }
}
Input：Hello, World

Appending Contents to StringBuffer

Passing Parameters to Main Method

1. Method1:
   类A的main方法：
   首先，定义了一个字符串数组strings，其中包含三个城市名称：“New York”、“Boston"和"Atlanta”。
   然后，调用类B的main方法，并将strings数组作为参数传递给它。

类B的main方法：
接受一个字符串数组args作为参数。
使用一个for循环遍历args数组，并将每个元素打印到控制台。
执行流程

当你运行类A的main方法时，执行流程如下：
类A的main方法被调用。
创建一个字符串数组strings，内容为{“New York”, “Boston”, “Atlanta”}。
调用类B的main方法，并将strings数组传递给它。
类B的main方法开始执行，接收传递过来的strings数组作为参数args。
类B的main方法遍历args数组，并逐个打印数组中的元素。
输出结果

运行类A的main方法时，控制台将输出：
New York
Boston
Atlanta

总结
类A的main方法创建并初始化了一个字符串数组，然后将其传递给类B的main方法。
类B的main方法接收这个数组并打印其内容。
这种调用方式展示了如何在Java中从一个类的main方法调用另一个类的main方法，并传递参数。

Static and non-static Object context

在 Java 中，static 和 non-static 是两个关键字，用于定义类成员变量和方法。它们之间的主要区别如下：

1. 内存分配：static 成员变量和方法是在类加载时分配内存，而 non-static 成员变量和方法是在实例化对象时分配内存。
2. 访问方式：static 成员变量和方法可以通过类名直接访问，而 non-static 成员变量和方法只能通过实例化对象访问。
3. 初始化：static 成员变量和方法只会被初始化一次，而 non-static 成员变量和方法每次实例化对象时都会被初始化。
4. 作用域：static 成员变量和方法的作用域是整个类，而 non-static 成员变量和方法的作用域是实例化对象。
5. 用途：static 成员变量和方法通常用于表示类级别的属性和方法，如常量、工具方法等，而 non-static 成员变量和方法通常用于表示对象级别的属性和方法，如实例变量、实例方法等。

下面是一个示例代码，演示了 static 和 non-static 成员变量和方法的用法：

public class MyClass {
    // static 成员变量
    static int staticVar = 0;
    // non-static 成员变量
    int nonStaticVar = 0;

    // static 方法
    static void staticMethod() {
        System.out.println("This is a static method.");
    }

    // non-static 方法
    void nonStaticMethod() {
        System.out.println("This is a non-static method.");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // 直接访问 static 成员变量和方法
        System.out.println(MyClass.staticVar);
        MyClass.staticMethod();

        // 实例化对象后访问 non-static 成员变量和方法
        MyClass obj = new MyClass();
        System.out.println(obj.nonStaticVar);
        obj.nonStaticMethod();
    }
}

输出结果为：

0
This is a static method.
0
This is a non-static method.

总之，static 和 non-static 是 Java 中两个重要的关键字，它们分别用于定义类级别和对象级别的属性和方法。根据具体的需求，我们可以选择使用它们中的一个或多个来实现我们的程序逻辑。
