Exam preview
  • Based on course work so far                    (JOI Chapters 1,2,3)
  • Given source code Foo.java to read:
    • what does java Foo do?
    • find tokens, keywords, identifiers, messages …
    • comment on programming conventions
    • draw a box-and-arrow picture
  • Write simple code using if/else, while, for
  • Sample posted on course web page
3
Vocabulary
  •     java, token, keyword, identifier, convention, API, message, method, int, double, boolean, if, else, while, for, declaration, delegation, variable, class, instance, field, source code, static, scope, client, comment, javadoc, compile, constructor, final, flow control, object, main, string, syntax, semantics, this, true, false, unit test, self documenting test, new, null, void, public, private, pseudocode, …
4
Applications
  • Bank, BankAccount
  • LinearEquation, Temperatures, PhoneBill
  • IntArithmetic, DoubleArithmetic, Exponentiate
  • TextFile
  • HLine, Box, Screen, VLine, Frame, …
5
hw4 - Exponentiate
  • needs just main
  • pseudocode
    • create a Terminal
    • get base and exponent from user
    • create any BigIntegers you need
    • send a message to do the computation
    • print the result
6
Collections
  • More programs manipulate data than do arithmetic
    • Library catalog manages a collection of books
    • Registrar maintains a database of student records
    • EStore has list of Items in Warehouse and in ShoppingCart
    • Bank deals with a list of BankAccounts
    • Screen manages a set of pixels
    • Windows folder holds files (and other folders)
  • … list, set, database, group, collection, container ...
7
Collections
  • A Collection is an object that stores things
  • Collection API must provide ways to
    • make an empty container (constructor)
    • put things in: put, insert, add, store, ...
    • know what’s there:
      • get, retrieve, find, lookup, ...
      • loop on contents
    • throw things out: delete, remove, kill, ...
  • Java provides array, List, Map, Set
8
A better Bank  (Version 4)...
  • Maintains a list of BankAccounts
  • Allows banker to create new accounts while the Bank is open
  • Keeps track of the total balance of all the accounts in it, and of the total number of transactions performed by its accounts



9
Array
  • Simplest Java object for managing a list
  • array syntax uses square brackets [] several ways
  • Bank.java (version 4) uses an array
  • Declare field accountList of type                 “array of BankAccounts” (line 32)
  • private BankAccount[] accountList ;
  • Create the array, ready to hold 3 Items (60)
  • accountList = new BankAccount[NUM_ACCOUNTS];


10
An array for 3 BankAccounts

  • // fill array on lines 66-68                    accountList [0] = new BA(  0, this); accountList [1] = new BA(100, this); accountList [2] = new BA(200, this);
  • Improved BankAccount object has a field to hold a reference to the Bank it belongs to (more later)


11
boxes and arrows for arrays
12
Seeing what’s in an array

  • BA acct = accountList[1];
  • atm.println(“Account 1 balance: ” + acct.getBalance());


  • prints


  • Account 1 balance: 100



13
looping over an array
  • // lines 211-214 in report method
  • for (int i = 0; i < NUM_ACCOUNTS; i++) {
  •   terminal.println( i + “\t” + accountList[i].getBalance() + … )
  • }
  • accountList[i] is (a reference to) the Object at position i.
  • send a getBalance message to each account in the Bank in succession
  • prints 0 0                 x                                     1 100             x                                 2    200 x


14
array summary
  • declare:  Type[ ] myArray; // Type is class name,                      // or primitive
  • create:    myArray = new Type[size]; // int size
  • put:        myArray[position] = …; // int position
  • get:         Type x = myArray[position];                 myArray[position].message();
  • length:    myArray.length;    // final public field
  • range:     0,1,…, myArray.length-1
  • read short self documenting program Array.java
15
arrays are Objects
  • Created with new
  • Size is determined at creation time but not at declaration time
  • The square brackets provide the special syntax for sending an array a message
  • myArray[i] refers to the value stored at index i (which must be an integer)
  • Stored values may be primitive (in the box) or a reference to an object (an arrow) but all values must have the same type
16
Improved BankAccount
  • Private fields (all have getter methods)
    • int  balance;
    • int  transactionCount;
    • Bank issuingBank;
  • Constructor
    • public BankAccount(int initialBalance,               Bank issuingBank)
    • {
    •     this.issuingBank = issuingBank;
    •     this.deposit(initialBalance);
    • }
17
Command line arguments in Java
    • public static void main(String[] args)
  • args is a parameter for the main method
  • The declaration says it’s an array of String objects
  • Its contents are the words on the command line after java ClassName
  • Argument array can have any name you wish
    • args is conventional
    • old C programmers may call it  argv



18
Command line arguments in Java
  • class CommandLineArgsDemo
  • public static void main( String[] args )
  • {
  •     for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++){
         System.out.println('|'+args[i]+'|');
  •     }
  • }
  • %> java CLID message     is “hello, world”
  •   |message|
  •   |is|
  •   |hello, world|


  • Experiment with     %> java Bank -e


19
Improved Bank
  • banker commands
    • create new account
    • report on totals
    • deal with a customer
      • deposit
      • withdraw
      • get balance
      • transfer
20
Bank and BankAccount cooperate
  • public int deposit(int amount)
  • {
  •     this.incrementBalance( amount);
  •     this.countTransaction();
  •     return amount ;
  • }
  • public void incrementBalance(int amount)
  • {
  •     balance += amount;
  •     this.getIssuingBank().         incrementBalance( amount );
  • }
