 Demonstrate understanding of classes, constructors, objects,
and instantiation.
 Access variables and modifier keywords.
 Develop methods using parameters and return values.
 Build control structures in an object-oriented environment.
 Convert data types using API methods and objects.
 Design object-oriented programs using scope, inheritance,
and other design techniques.
 Create an object-oriented application using Java packages,
APIs. and interfaces, in conjunction with classes and objects.

Interpreting/Compiling Source Code

 A program written in a high-level language
is called a source program or source code.
 Because a computer cannot understand a
source program, a source program must be
translated into machine code for execution.
 The translation can be done using another
programming tool called an interpreter or a
compiler.

Interpreting Source Code

 An interpreter reads one statement from the
source code, translates it to the machine code or
virtual machine code, and then executes it right
away, as shown in the following figure.

 Note that a statement from the source code may

be translated into several machine instructions.

Compiling Source Code

 A compiler translates the entire source
code into a machine-code file, and the
machine-code file is then executed, as
shown in the following figure.

Why Java?
 Java is a general
purpose programming
language.
 Java is the Internet
programming
language.

Anatomy of a Java Program

 Class name
 Main method
 Statements
 Statement terminator
 Reserved words
 Comments
 Blocks

Class Name
 Every Java program must have at least one class.
 Each class has a name.
 By convention, class names start with an
uppercase letter.
 In this example, the class name is Welcome.
//This program prints Welcome to Java!
public class Welcome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");
}
} 25

Main Method
 In order to run a class, the class must
contain a method named main.
 The program is executed from the main
method.
//This program prints Welcome to Java!
public class Welcome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");
}
}
26

Statement
 A statement represents an action or a sequence
of actions.
 The statement
System.out.println("Welcome to Java!")
in the program is a statement to display the
greeting “Welcome to Java!”.
public class Welcome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");
}
} 27

Statement Terminator
 Every statement in Java ends with a semicolon

;
//This program prints Welcome to Java!
public class Welcome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");
}
}
28

Reserved Words
 Reserved words or keywords are words that have a
specific meaning to the compiler and cannot be used for
other purposes in the program.
 For example, when the compiler sees the word class,
it understands that the word after class is the name for
the class.
//This program prints Welcome to Java!
public class Welcome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");
}
}

Programming Style and

Documentation
 Appropriate Comments.
 Naming Conventions.
 Proper Indentation and Spacing
Lines.
 Block Styles.

Naming Conventions
 Choose meaningful and
descriptive names.
 Class names:
 Capitalize the First Letter of
each word in the name. For
example, the class name
ComputeExpression.
31

Proper Indentation and

Spacing
 Indentation
 Indent two spaces.
 Spacing
 Use blank line to separate
segments of the code.
