Dear Reader,
Many of you have provided feedback on earlier editions of this book, and your comments and suggestions have greatly improved the book. This edition has been substantially enhanced in presentation, organization, examples, exercises, and supplements.
The book is fundamentals first by introducing basic programming concepts and techniques before designing custom classes. The fundamental concepts and techniques of selection statements, loops, methods, and arrays are the foundation for programming. Building this strong foundation prepares students to learn object-oriented programming and advanced Java programming.
This book teaches programming in a problem-driven way that focuses on problem solv- ing rather than syntax. We make introductory programming interesting by using thought- provoking problems in a broad context. The central thread of early chapters is on problem solving. Appropriate syntax and library are introduced to enable readers to write programs for solving the problems. To support the teaching of programming in a problem-driven way, the book provides a wide variety of problems at various levels of difficulty to motivate students. To appeal to students in all majors, the problems cover many application areas, including math, science, business, financial, gaming, animation, and multimedia.
The book seamlessly integrates programming, data structures, and algorithms into one text. It employs a practical approach to teach data structures. We first introduce how to use various data structures to develop efficient algorithms, and then show how to implement these data structures. Through implementation, students gain a deep understanding on the efficiency of data structures and on how and when to use certain data structures. Finally, we design and implement custom data structures for trees and graphs.
The book is widely used in the introductory programming, data structures, and algorithms courses in the universities around the world. This comprehensive version covers fundamen- tals of programming, object-oriented programming, GUI programming, data structures, algo- rithms, concurrency, networking, database, and Web programming. It is designed to prepare students to become proficient Java programmers. A brief version (Introduction to Java Pro- gramming, Brief Version, Eleventh Edition, Global Edition) is available for a first course on programming, commonly known as CS1. The brief version contains the first 18 chapters of the comprehensive version.
The best way to teach programming is by example, and the only way to learn programming is by doing. Basic concepts are explained by example and a large number of exercises with various levels of difficulty are provided for students to practice. For our programming courses, we assign programming exercises after each lecture.
Our goal is to produce a text that teaches problem solving and programming in a broad context using a wide variety of interesting examples. If you have any comments on and suggestions for improving the book, please email me.
Sincerely,
Y. Daniel Liang y.daniel.liang@gmail.com www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/Liang

ACM/IEEE Curricular 2013 and ABET Course Assessment The new ACM/IEEE Computer Science Curricular 2013 defines the Body of Knowledge organized into 18 Knowledge Areas. To help instructors design the courses based on this book, we provide sample syllabi to identify the Knowledge Areas and Knowledge Units. The sample syllabi are for a three semester course sequence and serve as an example for institutional customization. The sample syllabi are accessible from the Instructor Resource Center.
Many of our users are from the ABET-accredited programs. A key component of the ABET accreditation is to identify the weakness through continuous course assessment against the course outcomes. We provide sample course outcomes for the courses and sam- ple exams for measuring course outcomes on the Instructor Resource Center.
What’s New in This Edition? This edition is completely revised in every detail to enhance clarity, presentation, content, examples, and exercises. The major improvements are as follows:
■■ The book’s title is changed to Introduction to Java Programming and Data Structures with new enhancements on data structures. The book uses a practical approach to introduce design, implement, and use data structures and covers all topics in a typical data structures course. Additionally, it provides bonus chapters that cover advanced data structures such as 2-4 trees, B-trees, and red-black trees.
■■ Updated to the latest Java technology. Examples and exercises are improved and simplified by using the new features in Java 8.
■■ The default and static methods are introduced for interfaces in Chapter 13.
■■ The GUI chapters are updated to JavaFX 8. The examples are revised. The user interfaces in the examples and exercises are now resizable and displayed in the center of the window.
■■ Inner classes, anonymous inner classes, and lambda expressions are covered using practi- cal examples in Chapter 15.
■■ More examples and exercises in the data structures chapters use lambda expressions to simplify coding. Method references are introduced along with the Comparator interface in Section 20.6.
■■ The forEach method is introduced in Chapter 20 as a simple alternative to the foreach loop for applying an action to each element in a collection.
■■ Use the default methods for interfaces in Java 8 to redesign and simplify MyList, MyArrayList, MyLinkedList, Tree, BST, AVLTree, MyMap, MyHashMap, MySet, MyHashSet, Graph, UnweightedGraph, and WeightedGraph in Chapters 24–29.
■■ Chapter 30 is brand new to introduce aggregate operations for collection streams.
■■ FXML and the Scene Builder visual tool are introduced in Chapter 31.
■■ The Companion Website has been redesigned with new interactive quiz, CheckPoint ques- tions, animations, and live coding.
■■ More than 200 additional programming exercises with solutions are provided to the instructor on the Instructor Resource Center. These exercises are not printed in the text.

Pedagogical Features The book uses the following elements to help students get the most from the material:
■■ The Objectives at the beginning of each chapter list what students should learn from the chapter. This will help them determine whether they have met the objectives after completing the chapter.
■■ The Introduction opens the discussion with a thought-provoking question to motivate the reader to delve into the chapter.
■■ Key Points highlight the important concepts covered in each section.
■■ Check Points provide review questions to help students track their progress as they read through the chapter and evaluate their learning.
■■ Problems and Case Studies, carefully chosen and presented in an easy-to-follow style, teach problem solving and programming concepts. The book uses many small, simple, and stimulating examples to demonstrate important ideas.
■■ The Chapter Summary reviews the important subjects that students should understand and remember. It helps them reinforce the key concepts they have learned in the chapter.
■■ Quizzes are accessible online, grouped by sections, for students to do self-test on programming concepts and techniques.
■■ Programming Exercises are grouped by sections to provide students with opportunities to apply the new skills they have learned on their own. The level of difficulty is rated as easy (no asterisk), moderate (*), hard (**), or challenging (***). The trick of learning program- ming is practice, practice, and practice. To that end, the book provides a great many exer- cises. Additionally, more than 200 programming exercises with solutions are provided to the instructors on the Instructor Resource Center. These exercises are not printed in the text.
■■ Notes, Tips, Cautions, and Design Guides are inserted throughout the text to offer valuable advice and insight on important aspects of program development.
Note Provides additional information on the subject and reinforces important concepts.
Tip Teaches good programming style and practice.
Caution Helps students steer away from the pitfalls of programming errors.
Design Guide Provides guidelines for designing programs.
Flexible Chapter Orderings The book is designed to provide flexible chapter orderings to enable GUI, exception handling, recursion, generics, and the Java Collections Framework to be covered earlier or later. The diagram on the next page shows the chapter dependencies.

A01_LIAN1878_11_GE_FM.indd 6 1/2/18 11:57 PM
Organization of the Book The chapters can be grouped into five parts that, taken together, form a comprehensive introduc- tion to Java programming, data structures and algorithms, and database and Web programming. Because knowledge is cumulative, the early chapters provide the conceptual basis for under- standing programming and guide students through simple examples and exercises; subsequent chapters progressively present Java programming in detail, culminating with the development of comprehensive Java applications. The appendixes contain a mixed bag of topics, including an introduction to number systems, bitwise operations, regular expressions, and enumerated types.
Part I: Fundamentals of Programming (Chapters 1–8)
The first part of the book is a stepping stone, preparing you to embark on the journey of learning Java. You will begin to learn about Java (Chapter 1) and fundamental programming techniques with primitive data types, variables, constants, assignments, expressions, and operators ( Chapter 2), selection statements (Chapter 3), mathematical functions, characters, and strings (Chapter 4), loops (Chapter 5), methods (Chapter 6), and arrays (Chapters 7–8). After Chapter 7, you can jump to Chapter 18 to learn how to write recursive methods for solving inherently recursive problems.
Part II: Object-Oriented Programming (Chapters 9–13, and 17)
This part introduces object-oriented programming. Java is an object-oriented programming language that uses abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism to provide great flexibility, modularity, and reusability in developing software. You will learn program- ming with objects and classes (Chapters 9–10), class inheritance (Chapter 11), polymorphism ( Chapter 11), exception handling (Chapter 12), abstract classes (Chapter 13), and interfaces (Chapter 13). Text I/O is introduced in Chapter 12 and binary I/O is discussed in Chapter 17.
Part III: GUI Programming (Chapters 14–16 and Bonus Chapter 31)
JavaFX is a new framework for developing Java GUI programs. It is not only useful for developing GUI programs, but also an excellent pedagogical tool for learning object-oriented programming. This part introduces Java GUI programming using JavaFX in Chapters 14–16. Major topics include GUI basics (Chapter 14), container panes (Chapter 14), drawing shapes (Chapter 14), event-driven programming (Chapter 15), animations (Chapter 15), and GUI controls (Chapter 16), and playing audio and video (Chapter 16). You will learn the architecture of JavaFX GUI programming and use the controls, shapes, panes, image, and video to develop useful applications. Chapter 31 covers advanced features in JavaFX.
Part IV: Data Structures and Algorithms (Chapters 18–30 and Bonus Chapters 42–43)
This part covers the main subjects in a typical data structures and algorithms course. Chapter 18 introduces recursion to write methods for solving inherently recursive problems. Chapter 19 presents how generics can improve software reliability. Chapters 20 and 21 introduce the Java Collection Framework, which defines a set of useful API for data structures. Chapter 22 discusses measur- ing algorithm efficiency in order to choose an appropriate algorithm for applications. Chapter 23 describes classic sorting algorithms. You will learn how to implement several classic data struc- tures lists, queues, and priority queues in Chapter 24. Chapters 25 and 26 introduce binary search trees and AVL trees. Chapter 27 presents hashing and implementing maps and sets using hashing. Chapters 28 and 29 introduce graph applications. Chapter 30 introduces aggregate operations for collection streams. The 2-4 trees, B-trees, and red-black trees are covered in Bonus Chapters 42–43.
Part V: Advanced Java Programming (Chapters 32-41, 44)
This part of the book is devoted to advanced Java programming. Chapter 32 treats the use of multithreading to make programs more responsive and interactive and introduces parallel pro- gramming. Chapter 33 discusses how to write programs that talk with each other from different
Preface 7
A01_LIAN1878_11_GE_FM.indd 7 1/2/18 11:57 PM
hosts over the Internet. Chapter 34 introduces the use of Java to develop database projects. Chapter 35 delves into advanced Java database programming. Chapter 36 covers the use of internationalization support to develop projects for international audiences. Chapters 37 and 38 introduce how to use Java servlets and JavaServer Pages to generate dynamic content from Web servers. Chapter 39 introduces modern Web application development using JavaServer Faces. Chapter 40 introduces remote method invocation and Chapter 41 discusses Web ser- vices. Chapter 44 introduces testing Java programs using JUnit.
Appendixes
This part of the book covers a mixed bag of topics. Appendix A lists Java keywords. Appendix B gives tables of ASCII characters and their associated codes in decimal and in hex. Appen- dix C shows the operator precedence. Appendix D summarizes Java modifiers and their usage. Appendix E discusses special floating-point values. Appendix F introduces number systems and conversions among binary, decimal, and hex numbers. Finally, Appendix G introduces bitwise operations. Appendix H introduces regular expressions. Appendix I covers enumerated types.
Java Development Tools You can use a text editor, such as the Windows Notepad or WordPad, to create Java programs and to compile and run the programs from the command window. You can also use a Java development tool, such as NetBeans or Eclipse. These tools support an integrated develop- ment environment (IDE) for developing Java programs quickly. Editing, compiling, building, executing, and debugging programs are integrated in one graphical user interface. Using these tools effectively can greatly increase your programming productivity. NetBeans and Eclipse are easy to use if you follow the tutorials. Tutorials on NetBeans and Eclipse can be found in the supplements on the Companion Website www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/Liang.
Student Resources The Companion Website (www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/Liang) contains the following resources:
■■ Answers to CheckPoint questions
■■ Solutions to majority of even-numbered programming exercises
■■ Source code for the examples in the book
■■ Interactive quiz (organized by sections for each chapter)
■■ Supplements
■■ Debugging tips

Online Practice and Assessment with MyProgrammingLab MyProgrammingLab helps students fully grasp the logic, semantics, and syntax of program- ming. Through practice exercises and immediate, personalized feedback, MyProgrammingLab improves the programming competence of beginning students who often struggle with the basic concepts and paradigms of popular high-level programming languages.
A self-study and homework tool, a MyProgrammingLab course consists of hundreds of small practice problems organized around the structure of this textbook. For students, the system auto- matically detects errors in the logic and syntax of their code submissions and offers targeted hints that enable students to figure out what went wrong—and why. For instructors, a comprehensive gradebook tracks correct and incorrect answers and stores the code inputted by students for review.
MyProgrammingLab is offered to users of this book in partnership with Turing’s Craft, the makers of the CodeLab interactive programming exercise system. For a full demonstration, to see feedback from instructors and students, or to get started using MyProgrammingLab in your course, visit www.myprogramminglab.com.

24 Chapter 1 Introduction to Computers, Programs, and Java™
1.1 Introduction The central theme of this book is to learn how to solve problems by writing a program.
This book is about programming. So, what is programming? The term programming means to create (or develop) software, which is also called a program. In basic terms, software contains instructions that tell a computer—or a computerized device—what to do.
Software is all around you, even in devices you might not think would need it. Of course, you expect to find and use software on a personal computer, but software also plays a role in running airplanes, cars, cell phones, and even toasters. On a personal computer, you use word processors to write documents, web browsers to explore the Internet, and e-mail programs to send and receive messages. These programs are all examples of software. Software developers create software with the help of powerful tools called programming languages.
This book teaches you how to create programs by using the Java programming language. There are many programming languages, some of which are decades old. Each language was invented for a specific purpose—to build on the strengths of a previous language, for example, or to give the programmer a new and unique set of tools. Knowing there are so many program- ming languages available, it would be natural for you to wonder which one is best. However, in truth, there is no “best” language. Each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. Experienced programmers know one language might work well in some situations, whereas a different language may be more appropriate in other situations. For this reason, seasoned programmers try to master as many different programming languages as they can, giving them access to a vast arsenal of software-development tools.
If you learn to program using one language, you should find it easy to pick up other lan- guages. The key is to learn how to solve problems using a programming approach. That is the main theme of this book.
You are about to begin an exciting journey: learning how to program. At the outset, it is helpful to review computer basics, programs, and operating systems (OSs). If you are already familiar with such terms as central processing unit (CPU), memory, disks, operating systems, and programming languages, you may skip Sections 1.2–1.4.
1.2 What Is a Computer? A computer is an electronic device that stores and processes data.
A computer includes both hardware and software. In general, hardware comprises the visible, physical elements of the computer, and software provides the invisible instructions that control the hardware and make it perform specific tasks. Knowing computer hardware isn’t essential to learning a programming language, but it can help you better understand the effects that a program’s instructions have on the computer and its components. This section introduces computer hardware components and their functions.
A computer consists of the following major hardware components (see Figure 1.1):
■■ A central processing unit (CPU)
■■ Memory (main memory)
■■ Storage devices (such as disks and CDs)
■■ Input devices (such as the mouse and the keyboard)
■■ Output devices (such as monitors and printers)
■■ Communication devices (such as modems and network interface cards (NIC))
A computer’s components are interconnected by a subsystem called a bus. You can think of a bus as a sort of system of roads running among the computer’s components; data and power travel along the bus from one part of the computer to another. In personal computers,

1.2 What Is a Computer? 25
the bus is built into the computer’s motherboard, which is a circuit case that connects all of the parts of a computer together.
1.2.1 Central Processing Unit The central processing unit (CPU) is the computer’s brain. It retrieves instructions from the memory and executes them. The CPU usually has two components: a control unit and an arithmetic/logic unit. The control unit controls and coordinates the actions of the other com- ponents. The arithmetic/logic unit performs numeric operations (addition, subtraction, multi- plication, and division) and logical operations (comparisons).
Today’s CPUs are built on small silicon semiconductor chips that contain millions of tiny electric switches, called transistors, for processing information.
Every computer has an internal clock that emits electronic pulses at a constant rate. These pulses are used to control and synchronize the pace of operations. A higher clock speed enables more instructions to be executed in a given period of time. The unit of measurement of clock speed is the hertz (Hz), with 1 Hz equaling 1 pulse per second. In the 1990s, computers meas- ured clock speed in megahertz (MHz), but CPU speed has been improving continuously; the clock speed of a computer is now usually stated in gigahertz (GHz). Intel’s newest processors run at about 3 GHz.
CPUs were originally developed with only one core. The core is the part of the processor that performs the reading and executing of instructions. In order to increase the CPU processing power, chip manufacturers are now producing CPUs that contain multiple cores. A multicore CPU is a single component with two or more independent cores. Today’s consumer comput- ers typically have two, three, and even four separate cores. Soon, CPUs with dozens or even hundreds of cores will be affordable.
1.2.2 Bits and Bytes Before we discuss memory, let’s look at how information (data and programs) are stored in a computer.
A computer is really nothing more than a series of switches. Each switch exists in two states: on or off. Storing information in a computer is simply a matter of setting a sequence of switches on or off. If the switch is on, its value is 1. If the switch is off, its value is 0. These 0s and 1s are interpreted as digits in the binary number system and are called bits (binary digits).
The minimum storage unit in a computer is a byte. A byte is composed of eight bits. A small number such as 3 can be stored as a single byte. To store a number that cannot fit into a single byte, the computer uses several bytes.
Data of various kinds, such as numbers and characters, are encoded as a series of bytes. As a programmer, you don’t need to worry about the encoding and decoding of data, which the computer system performs automatically, based on the encoding scheme. An encoding scheme is a set of rules that govern how a computer translates characters and numbers into data with which the computer can actually work. Most schemes translate each character into a

predetermined string of bits. In the popular ASCII encoding scheme, for example, the character C is represented as 01000011 in 1 byte.
A computer’s storage capacity is measured in bytes and multiples of the byte, as follows:
■■ A kilobyte (KB) is about 1,000 bytes.
■■ A megabyte (MB) is about 1 million bytes.
■■ A gigabyte (GB) is about 1 billion bytes.
■■ A terabyte (TB) is about 1 trillion bytes.
A typical one-page word document might take 20 KB. Therefore, 1 MB can store 50 pages of documents, and 1 GB can store 50,000 pages of documents. A typical two-hour high- resolution movie might take 8 GB, so it would require 160 GB to store 20 movies.
1.2.3 Memory A computer’s memory consists of an ordered sequence of bytes for storing programs as well as data with which the program is working. You can think of memory as the computer’s work area for executing a program. A program and its data must be moved into the computer’s memory before they can be executed by the CPU.
Every byte in the memory has a unique address, as shown in Figure 1.2. The address is used to locate the byte for storing and retrieving the data. Since the bytes in the memory can be accessed in any order, the memory is also referred to as random-access memory (RAM).

Memory address Memory content
Today’s personal computers usually have at least 4 GB of RAM, but they more commonly have 6 to 8 GB installed. Generally speaking, the more RAM a computer has, the faster it can operate, but there are limits to this simple rule of thumb.
A memory byte is never empty, but its initial content may be meaningless to your program. The current content of a memory byte is lost whenever new information is placed in it.
Like the CPU, memory is built on silicon semiconductor chips that have millions of transis- tors embedded on their surface. Compared to CPU chips, memory chips are less complicated, slower, and less expensive.
1.2.4 Storage Devices A computer’s memory (RAM) is a volatile form of data storage: Any information that has been saved in memory is lost when the system’s power is turned off. Programs and data are permanently stored on storage devices and are moved, when the computer actu- storage devices

ally uses them, to memory, which operates at much faster speeds than permanent storage devices can.
There are three main types of storage devices:
■■ Magnetic disk drives
■■ Optical disc drives (CD and DVD)
■■ Universal serial bus (USB) flash drives
Drives are devices for operating a medium, such as disks and CDs. A storage medium physically stores data and program instructions. The drive reads data from the medium and writes data onto the medium.
Disks
A computer usually has at least one hard disk drive. Hard disks are used for permanently stor- ing data and programs. Newer computers have hard disks that can store from 500 GB to 1 TB of data. Hard disk drives are usually encased inside the computer, but removable hard disks are also available.
CDs and DVDs
CD stands for compact disc. There are three types of CDs: CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW. A CD- ROM is a prepressed disc. It was popular for distributing software, music, and video. Software, music, and video are now increasingly distributed on the Internet without using CDs. A CD-R (CD-Recordable) is a write-once medium. It can be used to record data once and read any number of times. A CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) can be used like a hard disk; that is, you can write data onto the disc, then overwrite that data with new data. A single CD can hold up to 700 MB.
DVD stands for digital versatile disc or digital video disc. DVDs and CDs look alike, and you can use either to store data. A DVD can hold more information than a CD; a standard DVD’s storage capacity is 4.7 GB. There are two types of DVDs: DVD-R (Recordable) and DVD-RW (ReWritable).
USB Flash Drives
Universal serial bus (USB) connectors allow the user to attach many kinds of peripheral devices to the computer. You can use an USB to connect a printer, digital camera, mouse, external hard disk drive, and other devices to the computer.
An USB flash drive is a device for storing and transporting data. A flash drive is small—about the size of a pack of gum. It acts like a portable hard drive that can be plugged into your computer’s USB port. USB flash drives are currently available with up to 256 GB storage capacity.
1.2.5 Input and Output Devices Input and output devices let the user communicate with the computer. The most common input devices are the keyboard and mouse. The most common output devices are monitors and printers.
The Keyboard
A keyboard is a device for entering input. Compact keyboards are available without a numeric keypad.
Function keys are located across the top of the keyboard and are prefaced with the letter F. Their functions depend on the software currently being used.
A modifier key is a special key (such as the Shift, Alt, and Ctrl keys) that modifies the normal action of another key when the two are pressed simultaneously.

The numeric keypad, located on the right side of most keyboards, is a separate set of keys styled like a calculator to use for quickly entering numbers.
Arrow keys, located between the main keypad and the numeric keypad, are used to move the mouse pointer up, down, left, and right on the screen in many kinds of programs.
The Insert, Delete, Page Up, and Page Down keys are used in word processing and other programs for inserting text and objects, deleting text and objects, and moving up or down through a document one screen at a time.
The Mouse
A mouse is a pointing device. It is used to move a graphical pointer (usually in the shape of an arrow) called a cursor around the screen, or to click on-screen objects (such as a button) to trigger them to perform an action.
The Monitor
The monitor displays information (text and graphics). The screen resolution and dot pitch determine the quality of the display.
The screen resolution specifies the number of pixels in horizontal and vertical dimensions of the display device. Pixels (short for “picture elements”) are tiny dots that form an image on the screen. A common resolution for a 17-inch screen, for example, is 1,024 pixels wide and 768 pixels high. The resolution can be set manually. The higher the resolution, the sharper and clearer the image is.
The dot pitch is the amount of space between pixels, measured in millimeters. The smaller the dot pitch, the sharper is the display.
1.2.6 Communication Devices Computers can be networked through communication devices, such as a dial-up modem (modulator/demodulator), a digital subscriber line (DSL) or cable modem, a wired network interface card, or a wireless adapter.
■■ A dial-up modem uses a phone line to dial a phone number to connect to the Internet and can transfer data at a speed up to 56,000 bps (bits per second).
■■ A digital subscriber line (DSL) connection also uses a standard phone line, but it can transfer data 20 times faster than a standard dial-up modem.
■■ A cable modem uses the cable line maintained by the cable company and is generally faster than DSL.
■■ A network interface card (NIC) is a device that connects a computer to a local area network (LAN). LANs are commonly used to connect computers within a limited area such as a school, a home, and an office. A high-speed NIC called 1000BaseT can transfer data at 1,000 million bits per second (mbps).
■■ Wireless networking is now extremely popular in homes, businesses, and schools. Every laptop computer sold today is equipped with a wireless adapter that enables the computer to connect to the LAN and the Internet.

1.3 Programming Languages Computer programs, known as software, are instructions that tell a computer what to do.
Computers do not understand human languages, so programs must be written in a language a computer can use. There are hundreds of programming languages, and they were developed to make the programming process easier for people. However, all programs must be converted into the instructions the computer can execute.
1.3.1 Machine Language A computer’s native language, which differs among different types of computers, is its machine language—a set of built-in primitive instructions. These instructions are in the form of binary code, so if you want to give a computer an instruction in its native language, you have to enter the instruction as binary code. For example, to add two numbers, you might have to write an instruction in binary code as follows:
1101101010011010
1.3.2 Assembly Language Programming in machine language is a tedious process. Moreover, programs written in machine language are very difficult to read and modify. For this reason, assembly language was created in the early days of computing as an alternative to machine languages. Assembly language uses a short descriptive word, known as a mnemonic, to represent each of the machine-language instructions. For example, the mnemonic add typically means to add num- bers, and sub means to subtract numbers. To add the numbers 2 and 3 and get the result, you might write an instruction in assembly code as follows:
add 2, 3, result
Assembly languages were developed to make programming easier. However, because the computer cannot execute assembly language, another program—called an assembler—is used to translate assembly-language programs into machine code, as shown in Figure 1.3.

Assembler
Writing code in assembly language is easier than in machine language. However, it is still tedious to write code in assembly language. An instruction in assembly language essentially corresponds to an instruction in machine code. Writing in assembly language requires that you

30 Chapter 1 Introduction to Computers, Programs, and Java™
know how the CPU works. Assembly language is referred to as a low-level language, because assembly language is close in nature to machine language and is machine dependent.
1.3.3 High-Level Language In the 1950s, a new generation of programming languages known as high-level languages emerged. They are platform independent, which means that you can write a program in a high- level language and run it in different types of machines. High-level languages are similar to English and easy to learn and use. The instructions in a high-level programming language are called statements. Here, for example, is a high-level language statement that computes the area of a circle with a radius of 5:
area = 5 * 5 * 3.14159;
There are many high-level programming languages, and each was designed for a specific purpose. Table 1.1 lists some popular ones.

Table 1.1 Popular High-Level Programming Languages
A program written in a high-level language is called a source program or source code. Because a computer cannot execute 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.
■■ An interpreter reads one statement from the source code, translates it to the machine code or virtual machine code, then executes it right away, as shown in Figure 1.4a. Note a statement from the source code may be translated into several machine instructions.

1.4 Operating Systems The operating system (OS) is the most important program that runs on a computer. The OS manages and controls a computer’s activities.
The popular operating systems for general-purpose computers are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Application programs, such as a web browser or a word processor, cannot run unless an operating system is installed and running on the computer. Figure 1.5 shows the interrelationship of hardware, operating system, application software, and the user.

The major tasks of an operating system are as follows:
■■ Controlling and monitoring system activities
■■ Allocating and assigning system resources
■■ Scheduling operations
1.4.1 Controlling and Monitoring System Activities Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the monitor, keeping track of files and folders on storage devices, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. An operating system must also ensure different programs and users working at the same time do not interfere with each other. In addition, the OS is responsible for security, ensuring unauthorized users and programs are not allowed to access the system.
1.4.2 Allocating and Assigning System Resources The operating system is responsible for determining what computer resources a program needs (such as CPU time, memory space, disks, and input and output devices) and for allocating and assigning them to run the program.
1.4.3 Scheduling Operations The OS is responsible for scheduling programs’ activities to make efficient use of system resources. Many of today’s operating systems support techniques such as multiprogramming, multithreading, and multiprocessing to increase system performance.
Multiprogramming allows multiple programs such as Microsoft Word, E-mail, and web browser to run simultaneously by sharing the same CPU. The CPU is much faster than the computer’s other components. As a result, it is idle most of the time—for example, while wait- ing for data to be transferred from a disk or waiting for other system resources to respond. A multiprogramming OS takes advantage of this situation by allowing multiple programs to use the CPU when it would otherwise be idle. For example, multiprogramming enables you to use a word processor to edit a file at the same time as your web browser is downloading a file.
Multithreading allows a single program to execute multiple tasks at the same time. For instance, a word-processing program allows users to simultaneously edit text and save it to a disk. In this example, editing and saving are two tasks within the same program. These two tasks may run concurrently.
Multiprocessing is similar to multithreading. The difference is that multithreading is for running multithreads concurrently within one program, but multiprocessing is for running multiple programs concurrently using multiple processors.

1.5 Java, the World Wide Web, and Beyond Java is a powerful and versatile programming language for developing software run- ning on mobile devices, desktop computers, and servers.
This book introduces Java programming. Java was developed by a team led by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems. Sun Microsystems was purchased by Oracle in 2010. Originally called Oak, Java was designed in 1991 for use in embedded chips in consumer electronic appliances.

1.6 The Java Language Specification, API, JDK, JRE, and IDE 33
In 1995, renamed Java, it was redesigned for developing web applications. For the history of Java, see www.java.com/en/javahistory/index.jsp.
Java has become enormously popular. Its rapid rise and wide acceptance can be traced to its design characteristics, particularly its promise that you can write a program once and run it anywhere. As stated by its designer, Java is simple, object oriented, distributed, interpreted, robust, secure, architecture neutral, portable, high performance, multithreaded, and dynamic. For the anatomy of Java characteristics, see liveexample.pearsoncmg.com/etc/ JavaCharacteristics.pdf.
Java is a full-featured, general-purpose programming language that can be used to develop robust mission-critical applications. Today, it is employed not only for web programming but also for developing stand-alone applications across platforms on servers, desktop computers, and mobile devices. It was used to develop the code to communicate with and control the robotic rover on Mars. Many companies that once considered Java to be more hype than sub- stance are now using it to create distributed applications accessed by customers and partners across the Internet. For every new project being developed today, companies are asking how they can use Java to make their work easier.
The World Wide Web is an electronic information repository that can be accessed on the Internet from anywhere in the world. The Internet, the Web’s infrastructure, has been around for more than 40 years. The colorful World Wide Web and sophisticated web browsers are the major reason for the Internet’s popularity.
Java initially became attractive because Java programs can run from a web browser. Such programs are called applets. Today applets are no longer allowed to run from a Web browser in the latest version of Java due to security issues. Java, however, is now very popular for developing applications on web servers. These applications process data, perform computa- tions, and generate dynamic webpages. Many commercial Websites are developed using Java on the backend.
Java is a versatile programming language: You can use it to develop applications for desktop computers, servers, and small handheld devices. The software for Android cell phones is developed using Java.

1.6 The Java Language Specification, API, JDK, JRE, and IDE
Java syntax is defined in the Java language specification, and the Java library is defined in the Java application program interface (API). The JDK is the software for compiling and running Java programs. An IDE is an integrated development environ- ment for rapidly developing programs.
Computer languages have strict rules of usage. If you do not follow the rules when writing a program, the computer will not be able to understand it. The Java language specification and the Java API define the Java standards.
The Java language specification is a technical definition of the Java programming language’s syntax and semantics. You can find the complete Java language specification at docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/.
The application program interface (API), also known as library, contains predefined classes and interfaces for developing Java programs. The API is still expanding. You can view and download the latest version of the Java API at download.java.net/jdk8/docs/api/.

34 Chapter 1 Introduction to Computers, Programs, and Java™
Java is a full-fledged and powerful language that can be used in many ways. It comes in three editions:
■■ Java Standard Edition (Java SE) to develop client-side applications. The applications can run on desktop.
■■ Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) to develop server-side applications, such as Java servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP), and JavaServer Faces (JSF).
■■ Java Micro Edition (Java ME) to develop applications for mobile devices, such as cell phones.
This book uses Java SE to introduce Java programming. Java SE is the foundation upon which all other Java technology is based. There are many versions of Java SE. The latest, Java SE 8, is used in this book. Oracle releases each version with a Java Development Toolkit (JDK). For Java SE 8, the Java Development Toolkit is called JDK 1.8 (also known as Java 8 or JDK 8).
The JDK consists of a set of separate programs, each invoked from a command line, for compiling, running, and testing Java programs. The program for running Java programs is known as JRE (Java Runtime Environment). Instead of using the JDK, you can use a Java development tool (e.g., NetBeans, Eclipse, and TextPad)—software that provides an integrated development environment (IDE) for developing Java programs quickly. Editing, compiling, building, debugging, and online help are integrated in one graphical user interface. You simply enter source code in one window or open an existing file in a window, and then click a button or menu item or press a function key to compile and run the program.

1.7 A Simple Java Program 35
Line 1 defines a class. 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.
Line 2 defines the main method. The program is executed from the main method. A class may contain several methods. The main method is the entry point where the program begins execution.
A method is a construct that contains statements. The main method in this program contains the System.out.println statement. This statement displays the string Welcome to Java! on the console (line 4). String is a programming term meaning a sequence of characters. A string must be enclosed in double quotation marks. Every statement in Java ends with a semi- colon (;), known as the statement terminator.
Reserved words, or keywords, 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. Other reserved words in this program are public, static, and void.
Line 3 is a comment that documents what the program is and how it is constructed. Comments help programmers to communicate and understand the program. They are not programming statements, and thus are ignored by the compiler. In Java, comments are preceded by two slashes (//) on a line, called a line comment, or enclosed between /* and */ on one or several lines, called a block comment or paragraph comment. When the compiler sees //, it ignores all text after // on the same line. When it sees /*, it scans for the next */ and ignores any text between /* and */. Here are examples of comments:
// This application program displays Welcome to Java! /* This application program displays Welcome to Java! */ /* This application program
displays Welcome to Java! */
A pair of braces in a program forms a block that groups the program’s components. In Java, each block begins with an opening brace ({) and ends with a closing brace (}). Every class has a class block that groups the data and methods of the class. Similarly, every method has a method block that groups the statements in the method. Blocks can be nested, meaning that one block can be placed within another, as shown in the following code:
class name
main method
string
statement terminator reserved word keyword
comment
line comment block comment
block
match braces
public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } }
Method block Class block
Tip An opening brace must be matched by a closing brace. Whenever you type an opening brace, immediately type a closing brace to prevent the missing-brace error. Most Java IDEs automatically insert the closing brace for each opening brace.
Caution Java source programs are case sensitive. It would be wrong, for example, to replace main in the program with Main.
You have seen several special characters (e.g., { }, //, ;) in the program. They are used in almost every program. Table 1.2 summarizes their uses.
The most common errors you will make as you learn to program will be syntax errors. Like any programming language, Java has its own syntax, and you need to write code that conforms

to the syntax rules. If your program violates a rule—for example, if the semicolon is missing, a brace is missing, a quotation mark is missing, or a word is misspelled—the Java compiler will report syntax errors. Try to compile the program with these errors and see what the com- piler reports.
Note You are probably wondering why the main method is defined this way and why System.out.println(...) is used to display a message on the console. For the time being, simply accept that this is how things are done. Your questions will be fully answered in subsequent chapters.
The program in Listing 1.1 displays one message. Once you understand the program, it is easy to extend it to display more messages. For example, you can rewrite the program to display three messages, as shown in Listing 1.2.
lisTing 1.2 WelcomeWithThreeMessages.java 1 public class WelcomeWithThreeMessages { 2 public static void main(String[] args) { 3 System.out.println("Programming is fun!"); 4 System.out.println("Fundamentals First"); 5 System.out.println("Problem Driven"); 6 } 7 }

Character Name Description
{} Opening and closing braces Denote a block to enclose statements.
() Opening and closing parentheses Used with methods.
[] Opening and closing brackets Denote an array.
// Double slashes Precede a comment line.
"" Opening and closing quotation marks Enclose a string (i.e., sequence of characters).
; Semicolon Mark the end of a statement.

Further, you can perform mathematical computations and display the result on the console.
Listing 1.3 gives an example of evaluating 10.5 + 2 * 3
45 - 3.5 .
lisTing 1.3 ComputeExpression.java 1 public class ComputeExpression { 2 public static void main(String[] args) { 3 System.out.print("(10.5 + 2 * 3) / (45 – 3.5) = "); 4 System.out.println((10.5 + 2 * 3) / (45 – 3.5)); 5 } 6 }

1.8 Creating, Compiling, and Executing a Java Program 37
The print method in line 3
System.out.print("(10.5 + 2 * 3) / (45 – 3.5) = ");
is identical to the println method except that println moves to the beginning of the next line after displaying the string, but print does not advance to the next line when completed.
The multiplication operator in Java is *. As you can see, it is a straightforward process to translate an arithmetic expression to a Java expression. We will discuss Java expressions fur- ther in Chapter 2.

comment line and a comment paragraph? 1.7.4 What is the statement to display a string on the console? 1.7.5 Show the output of the following code:
public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("3.5 * 4 / 2 – 2.5 is "); System.out.println(3.5 * 4 / 2 – 2.5); } }
1.8 Creating, Compiling, and Executing a Java Program You save a Java program in a .java file and compile it into a .class file. The .class file is executed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
You have to create your program and compile it before it can be executed. This process is repetitive, as shown in Figure 1.6. If your program has compile errors, you have to modify the program to fix them, then recompile it. If your program has runtime errors or does not produce the correct result, you have to modify the program, recompile it, and execute it again.
You can use any text editor or IDE to create and edit a Java source-code file. This section demonstrates how to create, compile, and run Java programs from a command window. Sec- tions 1.11 and 1.12 will introduce developing Java programs using NetBeans and Eclipse. From the command window, you can use a text editor such as Notepad to create the Java source-code file, as shown in Figure 1.7.
