Java Tutorial Exercise 1 Instructions

1. Define the following java terms and concepts

a. class
b. object
c. primitive

2. The remainder of this tutorial exercise should be executed on the local linux or DOS platforms.
You can store your directories and files in the local student directory (in which case you will need
to delete them at the end of the tutorial session) or on a flash drive. Completed exercises should
be uploaded to the server for submission using scp or ftp. Create a new directory called Tutorial1;

3. Enter the following Java code in a file called Tutorial1a.java in your Tutorial1 directory.

// file: Tutorial1a.java

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Tutorial1a extends JPanel

{
int hwX, hwY;
String helloWorld = null;

public Tutorial1a ()
{
hwX = 300;
hwY = 300;
helloWorld = "Hello World";
repaint();
}

public void paintComponent (Graphics g)

{
super.paintComponent (g);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2.setFont (new Font ("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 22));
g2.drawString (helloWorld, hwX, hwY);
}

public static void main (String[] args)

{
JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Tutorial 1 A");
Tutorial1a Tutorial1a = new Tutorial1a ();
frame.getContentPane().add (Tutorial1a);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize (600,600);
frame.setVisible (true);
frame.setResizable (false);
frame.setLocation (100, 100);
}
}

 4. Compile and execute your program:
javac Tutorial1a.java
java Tutorial1a
You should see:

You have now written your first Java program (for this course)!

5. Copy Tutorial1a.java to Tutorial1b.java. Modify the program is indicated:

// file: Tutorial1b.java

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Tutorial1b extends JPanel implements ActionListener,

MouseMotionListener
{
JButton theButton;
int hwX, hwY;
String helloWorld = null;
int red, green, blue;

public Tutorial1b ()
{
hwX = 300;
hwY = 300;
helloWorld = "Hello World";
red = green = blue = 30;
theButton = new JButton ("Change Color");
add (theButton);
theButton.addActionListener (this);
addMouseMotionListener(this);
repaint();
}

public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)

{
hwX = e.getX();
hwY = e.getY();
repaint();
}

CS 460 Manual Page 37 of 62

 public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {}

public void paintComponent (Graphics g)

{
super.paintComponent (g);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2.setPaint (new Color (red, green, blue));
g2.setFont (new Font ("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 22));
g2.drawString (helloWorld, hwX, hwY);
}

public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)

{
if (e.getSource() == theButton)
{
red = (red * 29) % 254 + 2;
green = (green * 31) % 254 + 2;
blue = (blue * 53) % 254 + 2;
repaint ();
}
}

public static void main (String[] args)

{
JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Tutorial 1 B");
Tutorial1b Tutorial1b = new Tutorial1b ();
frame.getContentPane().add (Tutorial1b);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize (600,600);
frame.setVisible (true);
frame.setResizable (false);
frame.setLocation (200, 200);
}
}

6. Compile and execute the program; you should

see:

7. Use the button to change the color of the text

and use the mouse to drag the text around the
screen.

CS 460 Manual Page 38 of 62

8. Copy Tutorial1b.java to Tutorial1c.java. Make the changes necessary to compile and execute the
class Tutorial1c.

9. Add a Mouse Listener to Tutorial1c:

public class Tutorial1b extends JPanel implements ActionListener,

MouseMotionListener, MouseListener

You will need to include the following MouseListener method stubbs:

public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {}

public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {}

public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}

public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {}

10. Modify the mouseExited and mouseEntered methods to prevent the user from dragging the
text outside the bounds of the window frame.

CS 460 Manual Page 41 of 62

Java Tutorial Exercise 2 Instructions

Create a new subdirectory called Tutorial2 and enter the following java program as RList.java

// file: RList.java

import java.lang.*;
import java.util.Random;

public class RList

{
int size;
int list [];
static int ASCENDING = 1;
static int DESCENDING = 2;

public RList ( )
{
}

public RList (int S)

{
size = S;
list = new int [size];
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
list[i] = i * 3 % (2 * i + 1);
}

public RList (RList other)

{
size = other.size;
list = new int [size];
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
list[i] = other.list[i];
}

public String toString ()

{
String string = "";
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
string += list[i] + " ";
return string;
}

public void Sort (int AD)

{
}

public static void main (String[] args)

{
RList rlist1 = new RList (10);
RList rlist2 = new RList (rlist1);
System.out.println ("\nRandom List 1");
System.out.println (rlist1);
rlist1.Sort (RList.ASCENDING);
System.out.println (rlist1);

CS 460 Manual Page 42 of 62

 System.out.println ("\nRandom List 2");
System.out.println (rlist2);
rlist2.Sort (RList.DESCENDING);
System.out.println (rlist2);
}
}

1. Compile and execute the program:

javac RList.java
java RList
On the system console you should see:
Random List 1
0 1 1 4 7 10 0 1 2 3
0 1 1 4 7 10 0 1 2 3

Random List 2
0 1 1 4 7 10 0 1 2 3
0 1 1 4 7 10 0 1 2 3
Note that the lists are not sorted…..

2. Modify the Sort method of the RList class to sort the list into ascending order using your simple sort
if the input parameter is ASCENDING and into descending order using your advanced sort if the
input parameter is DESCENDING.

3. This program uses an internal main function to test the RList class. The RList class can also be used
as part of another program. Enter, compile and run the following class called Tutorial2a.

// file: Tutorial2a.java

import java.lang.*;

public class Tutorial2a

{
RList rlist1;
RList rlist2;

public Tutorial2a ()
{
rlist1 = new RList (10);
rlist2 = new RList (rlist1);
System.out.println ("\nRandom List 1");
System.out.println (rlist1.toString());
rlist1.Sort (RList.ASCENDING);
System.out.println (rlist1.toString());
System.out.println ("\nRandom List 2");
System.out.println (rlist2.toString());
rlist2.Sort (RList.DESCENDING);
System.out.println (rlist2.toString());
}

public static void main (String[] args)

{
Tutorial2a tutorial2a = new Tutorial2a ();
}
}

CS 460 Manual Page 43 of 62

4. Modify the RList class to include a random number generator. Information about the java Random class
can be found at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Random.html

Modify the constructor with integer input parameter S to generate a list populated with S randomly
selected integers in the range -100 ≤ list[i] ≤ 100.

Modify the default constructor to randomly select a value for size (5 ≤ size ≤ 50) and to generate a list
populated with size randomly selected integers in the range -100 ≤ list[i] ≤ 100.

Java Tutorial Exercise 3 Instructions

Create a new subdirectory called Tutorial3. Copy RList.java from Tutorial2 to Tutorial3. Add the
following Paint method to Rlist.

public void Paint (Graphics2D g2, int ulX, int ulY, int lrX, int lrY,
Color minColor, Color maxColor)
{
if (size < 1)
return;
int min = 0;
int max = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < size; i++)
{
if (list[i] < min) min = list[i];
if (list[i] > max) max = list[i];
}
int deltaX = (lrX - ulX) / (2 * size + 1);
int range = max - min + 1;
int deltaY = (lrY - ulY) / range;
int deltaR = (maxColor.getRed() - minColor.getRed()) / range;
int deltaG = (maxColor.getGreen() - minColor.getGreen()) / range;
int deltaB = (maxColor.getBlue() - minColor.getBlue()) / range;
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
int left = ulX + (2*i+1) * deltaX;
int right = left + deltaX;
int top = lrY - list[i] * deltaY;
int bottom = lrY;
Color c = new Color (list[i] * deltaG, list[i] * deltaR,
list[i] * deltaB);
g2.setPaint (c);
g2.fillRect (left, top, right-left, bottom-top);
}
}

This function is designed to draw vertical bars representing the values in the list using the rectangle and
colors passed to it. The parameters to this function are, in order, the x and y coordinates of the upper left
corner of the rectangle in which the vertical bars will be drawn; the x and y coordinates of the lower right
corner of the rectangle; the minimum and maximum colors. The width of the rectangular area is divided
so that ‘size’ bars can be drawn along a horizontal axis. The height of the rectangular area is divided
into units representing the range of the magnitudes of the values in the list. The color range is divided into
units representing the range of the magnitudes of the values in the list.

Currently this function does not handle negative integer values in the list.

1. Enter the following java class:

// file:Tutorial3a.java
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Tutorial3a extends JPanel implements ActionListener

{

CS 460 Manual Page 46 of 62

 RList rlist;
JButton theButton;
public Tutorial3a ()
{
rlist = new RList ();
System.out.println (rlist);
theButton = new JButton ("Sort List");
add (theButton);
theButton.addActionListener (this);
repaint();
}

public void paintComponent (Graphics g)

{
super.paintComponent (g);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
rlist.Paint (g2, 20, 50, 580, 250, new Color (20, 20, 150),
new Color (50, 50, 250);
}

public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)

{
if (e.getSource() == theButton)
{
rlist.Sort (RList.ASCENDING);
repaint();
}
}

public static void main (String[] args)

{
JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Tutorial 3 A");
Tutorial3a Tutorial3a = new Tutorial3a ();
frame.getContentPane().add (Tutorial3a);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize (600,300);
frame.setVisible (true);
frame.setResizable (false);
frame.setLocation (200, 200);
}
}

2. Modify your second list

constructor so that it only
generates positive
numbers between 0 and
100. Compile and test the
program. You should see
something like:

CS 460 Manual Page 47 of 62

3. Modify the RList Paint function as flollws:
a. Include a horizontal axis
b. Tutorialel each vertical bar with its axis
c. Allow negative values – these values should appear as vertical bars below the horizontal axis.
Return your second constructor to its original state (generating numbers between -100 and 100) and test
your program. Your display might look like:

Test the simple sort function in your RList class. After the Sort List button is pressed, the list should be
displayed in fully sorted order. Your display might look like:

4. Modify the program so that each press of the “Sort List” button causes 1 pass of your simple sort to
be executed. Multiple presses of the button will illustrate the modifications made to the list that
eventually result in a fully sorted list. You will most likely need to add a “SortPass” method to your
RList class.

Your completed RList.java and Tutorial3a.java files should be placed in ~tiawatts/cs460drop. The files
should be called your-last-name.java and your-last-nameT3.java respectively.
