Preface for Instructors

Welcome to the sixth edition of Java: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming. This book is designed for a first course in programming and computer science. It covers programming techniques, as well as the basics of the Java programming language. It is suitable for courses as short as one quar- ter or as long as a full academic year. No previous programming experience is required, nor is any mathematics, other than a little high school algebra. The book can also be used for a course designed to teach Java to students who have already had another programming course, in which case the first few chapters can be assigned as outside reading.

Changes in This Edition

The following list highlights how this sixth edition differs from the fifth edition: ■ Updates have been made for Java version 7, including strings in switch

statements and the use of type inference in generic instance creation. ■ Additional case studies including unit testing, use of the Comparable inter-

face, processing comma-separated value files, and others. ■ Chapter 5 now begins with a simpler class to more gradually introduce how

classes are constructed. ■ Chapter 8 has been reorganized with a greater emphasis and more examples

on polymorphism and interfaces. ■ Chapter 2 describes how to create a Swing application using the JFrame

class so thereafter students have the option of implementing graphics in applets or in an application.

■ Chapter 12 includes an overview of the Java Collections Framework and examples using the HashMap and HashSet classes.

■ A description of System.out.printf has been added to Chapter 2. ■ A description of Math.random has been added to Chapter 6. ■ Twenty new programming projects have been added. ■ New VideoNotes added throughout the text to enhance student

understanding of programming concepts and techniques.

viii PREFACE FOR INSTRUCTORS

Latest Java Coverage

All of the code in this book has been tested using a pre-release version of Oracle’s Java SE Development Kit (JDK), version 7.0. Any imported classes are standard and in the Java Class Library that is part of Java. No additional classes or specialized libraries are needed.

Flexibility

If you are an instructor, this book adapts to the way you teach, rather than making you adapt to the book. It does not tightly prescribe the sequence in which your course must cover topics. You can easily change the order in which you teach many chapters and sections. The particulars involved in rearranging material are explained in the dependency chart that follows this preface and in more detail in the “Prerequisites” section at the start of each chapter.

Early Graphics

Graphics supplement sections end each of the first ten chapters. This gives you the option of covering graphics and GUI programming from the start of your course. The graphics supplement sections emphasize applets but also cover GUIs built using the JFrame class. Any time after Chapter 8, you can move on to the main chapters on GUI programming (Chapters 13 through 15), which are now on the Web. Alternatively, you can continue through Chapter 10 with a mix of graphics and more traditional programming. Instructors who prefer to postpone the coverage of graphics can postpone or skip the graphics supplement sections.

Coverage of Problem-Solving and Programming Techniques

This book is designed to teach students basic problem-solving and program- ming techniques and is not simply a book about Java syntax. It contains numerous case studies, programming examples, and programming tips. Ad- ditionally, many sections explain important problem-solving and program- ming techniques, such as loop design techniques, debugging techniques, style techniques, abstract data types, and basic object-oriented programming tech- niques, including UML, event-driven programming, and generic programming using type parameters.

Early Introduction to Classes

Any course that really teaches Java must teach classes early, since everything in Java involves classes. A Java program is a class. The data type for strings of characters is a class. Even the behavior of the equals operator (==) depends on whether it is comparing objects from classes or simpler data items. Classes cannot be avoided, except by means of absurdly long and complicated “magic formulas.” This book introduces classes fairly early. Some exposure to using classes is given in Chapters 1 and 2. Chapter 5 covers how to define classes. All

PREFACE FOR INSTRUCTORS ix

of the basic information about classes, including inheritance, is presented by the end of Chapter 8 (even if you omit Chapter 7). However, some topics regarding classes, including inheritance, can be postponed until later in the course.

Although this book introduces classes early, it does not neglect traditional programming techniques, such as top-down design and loop design tech- niques. These older topics may no longer be glamorous, but they are informa- tion that all beginning students need.

Generic Programming

Students are introduced to type parameters when they cover lists in Chapter 12. The class ArrayList is presented as an example of how to use a class that has a type parameter. Students are then shown how to define their own classes that include a type parameter.

Language Details and Sample Code

This book teaches programming technique, rather than simply the Java lan- guage. However, neither students nor instructors would be satisfied with an introductory programming course that did not also teach the programming language. Until you calm students’ fears about language details, it is often im- possible to focus their attention on bigger issues. For this reason, the book gives complete explanations of Java language features and lots of sample code. Programs are presented in their entirety, along with sample input and output. In many cases, in addition to the complete examples in the text, extra complete examples are available over the Internet.

Self-Test Questions

Self-test questions are spread throughout each chapter. These questions have a wide range of difficulty levels. Some require only a one-word answer, whereas others require the reader to write an entire, nontrivial program. Complete an- swers for all the self-test questions, including those requiring full programs, are given at the end of each chapter.

Exercises and Programming Projects

Completely new exercises appear at the end of each chapter. Since only you, and not your students, will have access to their answers, these exercises are suitable for homework. Some could be expanded into programming projects. However, each chapter also contains other programming projects, several of which are new to this edition.

Preface for Students

This book is designed to teach you the Java programming language and, even more importantly, to teach you basic programming techniques. It requires no previous programming experience and no mathematics other than some simple high school algebra. However, to get the full benefit of the book, you should have Java available on your computer, so that you can practice with the examples and techniques given. The latest version of Java is preferable, but a version as early as 5 will do.

If You Have Programmed Before

You need no previous programming experience to use this book. It was designed for beginners. If you happen to have had experience with some other programming language, do not assume that Java is the same as the programming language(s) you are accustomed to using. All languages are different, and the differences, even if small, are large enough to give you problems. Browse the first four chapters, reading at least the Recap portions. By the time you reach Chapter 5, it would be best to read the entire chapter.

If you have programmed before in either C or C++, the transition to Java can be both comfortable and troublesome. At first glance, Java may seem almost the same as C or C++. However, Java is very different from these lan- guages, and you need to be aware of the differences. Appendix 6 compares Java and C++ to help you see what the differences are.

Obtaining a Copy of Java

Appendix 1 provides links to sites for downloading Java compilers and pro- gramming environments. For beginners, we recommend Oracle’s Java JDK for your Java compiler and related software and TextPad as a simple editor envi- ronment for writing Java code. When downloading the Java JDK, be sure to obtain the latest version available.

Features of This Text RECAP Bytes and Memory Locations

A computer’s main memory is divided into numbered units called bytes. The number of a byte is called its address. Each byte can hold eight binary digits, or bits, each of which is either 0 or 1. To store a piece of data that is too large to fit into a single byte, the computer uses several adjacent bytes. These adjacent bytes are thought of as a single, larger memory location whose address is the address of the first of the adjacent bytes.

REMEMBER Syntactic Variables

When you see something in this book like Type, Variable_1, or Variable_2 used to describe Java syntax, these words do not literally appear in your Java code. They are syntactic variables, which are a kind of blank that you fill in with something from the category that they describe. For example, Type can be replaced by int, double, char, or any other type name. Variable_1 and Variable_2 can each be replaced by any variable name.

■ PROGRAMMING TIP Initialize Variables A variable that has been declared, but that has not yet been given a value by an assignment statement (or in some other way), is said to be uninitialized. If the variable is a variable of a class type, it literally has no value. If the variable has a primitive type, it likely has some default value. However, your program will be clearer if you explicitly give the variable a value, even if you are simply reassigning the default value. (The exact details on default values have been known to change and should not be counted on.)

One easy way to ensure that you do not have an uninitialized variable is to initialize it within the declaration. Simply combine the declaration and an assignment statement, as in the following examples:

int count = 0;

double taxRate = 0.075;

char grade = 'A';

int balance = 1000, newBalance;

Note that you can initialize some variables and not initialize others in a declaration. Sometimes the compiler may complain that you have failed to initialize a

variable. In most cases, that will indeed be true. Occasionally, though, the compiler is mistaken in giving this advice. However, the compiler will not compile your program until you convince it that the variable in question is initialized. To make the compiler happy, initialize the variable when you declare it, even if the variable will be given another value before it is used for anything. In such cases, you cannot argue with the compiler. ■

GOTCHA Hidden Errors

Just because your program compiles and runs without any errors and even produces reasonable-looking output does not mean that your program is correct. You should always run your program with some test data that gives predictable output. To do this, choose some data for which you can compute the correct results, either by using pencil and paper, by looking up the answer, or by some other means. Even this testing does not guarantee that your program is correct, but the more testing you do, the more confidence you can have in your program. ■

FAQ11 FAQ stands for “frequently asked question.” Why just 0s and 1s?

Computers use 0s and 1s because it is easy to make an electrical device that has only two stable states. However, when you are programming, you normally need not be concerned about the encoding of data as 0s and 1s. You can program as if the computer directly stored numbers, letters, or strings of characters in memory. There is nothing special about calling the states zero and one. We could just as well use any two names, such as A and B or true and false. The important thing is that the underlying physical device has two stable states, such as on and off or high voltage and low voltage. Calling these two states zero and one is simply a convention, but it’s one that is almost universally followed.

Programming Tips Give students helpful advice about programming in Java.

Gotchas Identify potential mistakes in programming that students might make and should avoid.

FAQs Provide students answers to frequently asked questions within the context of the chapter.

VideoNotes Step-by-step video solutions to programming examples and homework exercises.

CASE STUDY Unit Testing So far we’ve tested our programs by running them, typing in some input, and visually checking the results to see if the output is what we expected. This is fine for small programs but is generally insufficient for large programs. In a large program there are usually so many combinations of interacting inputs that it would take too much time to manually verify the correct result for all inputs. Additionally, it is possible that code changes result in unintended side effects. For example, a fix for one error might introduce a different error. One way to attack this problem is to write unit tests. Unit testing is a methodology in which the programmer tests the correctness of individual units of code. A unit is often a method but it could be a class or other group of code.

The collection of unit tests becomes the test suite. Each test is generally automated so that human input is not required. Automation is important because it is desirable to have tests that run often and quickly. This makes it possible to run the tests repeatedly, perhaps once a day or every time code is changed, to make sure that everything is still working. The process of running tests repeatedly is called regression testing.

Let’s start with a simple test case for the Species class in Listing 5.19. Our first test might be to verify that the name, initial population, and growth rate is correctly set in the setSpecies method. We can accomplish this by creating

Writing arithmetic expressions and statements

xx FEATURES OF THIS TEXT

Programming Examples Provide more examples of Java programs that solve specific problems.

PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE Nested Loops

The body of a loop can contain any sort of statements. In particular, you can have a loop statement within the body of a larger loop statement. For example, the program in Listing 4.4 uses a while loop to compute the average of a list of nonnegative scores. The program asks the user to enter all the scores followed by a negative sentinel value to mark the end of the data. This while loop is placed inside a do-while loop so that the user can repeat the entire process for another exam, and another, until the user wishes to end the program.

SELF-TEST QUESTIONS

28. Given the class Species as defined in Listing 5.19, why does the following program cause an error message?

public class SpeciesEqualsDemo {

public static void main(String[] args) { Species s1, s2; s1. setSpecies("Klingon ox", 10, 15); s2.setSpecies("Klingon ox", 10, 15);

if (s1 == s2) System.out.println("Match with ==.");

else System.out.println("Do Notmatchwith ==.") } }

29. After correcting the program in the previous question, what output does the program produce?

30. What is the biggest difference between a parameter of a primitive type and a parameter of a class type?

31. Given the class Species, as defined in Listing 5.19, and the class

Self-Test Questions Provide students with the opportunity to practice skills learned in the chapter. Answers at the end of each chapter give immediate feedback.

Asides Give short commentary on relevant topics.

ASIDE Use of the Terms Parameter and Argument

Our use of the terms parameter and argument is consistent with common usage. We use parameter to describe the definition of the data type and variable inside the header of a method and argument to describe items passed into a method when it is invoked. However, people often use these terms interchangeably. Some people use the term parameter both for what we call a formal parameter and for what we call an argument. Other people use the term argument both for what we call a formal parameter and for what we call an argument. When you see the term parameter or argument in other books, you must figure out its exact meaning from the context.
