Programming Language
 Three levels of programming languages:
– Machine Languages
– Machine language instructions are binary coded and very
low level.
– Assembly Languages
– Assembly language allows symbolic programming.
Requires an assembler to translate assembly programs into
machine programs.
– High-level Languages
– High-level language provides a very high conceptual model
of computing. Requires a compiler to translate high-level
programs into assembly programs.
3
Java
 Java is a high-level object-oriented language
developed by Sun Microsystems.
 Java’s clean design and wide availability make it an
ideal language for teaching the fundamentals of
computer programming.

 Oak
 Java, May 20, 1995, Sun World
 HotJava
– The first Java-enabled Web browser
 JDK Evolutions
 J2SE, J2ME, and J2EE
6
Characteristics of Java
 Java is simple
 Java is object-oriented
 Java is distributed
 Java is interpreted
 Java is robust
 Java is secure
 Java is architecture-neutral
 Java is portable

JDK Versions
 JDK 1.02 (1995)
 JDK 1.1 (1996)
 Java 2 SDK v 1.2 (a.k.a JDK 1.2, 1998)
 Java 2 SDK v 1.3 (a.k.a JDK 1.3, 2000)
 Java 2 SDK v 1.4 (a.k.a JDK 1.4, 2002)
8
JDK Editions
 Java Standard Edition (J2SE)
– J2SE can be used to develop client-side standalone
applications or applets.
 Java Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
– J2EE can be used to develop server-side applications
such as Java servlets and Java ServerPages.
 Java Micro Edition (J2ME).
– J2ME can be used to develop applications for mobile
devices such as cell phones.

Getting Started with Java
Programming
A Simple Java Application
Compiling Programs
Executing Applications
11
A Simple Application
Example 1.1
//This application program prints Welcome
//to Java!
package chapter1;
public class Welcome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");
}
}
.
12
Creating and Compiling Programs
 On command line
– javac file.java
Source Code
Create/Modify Source Code
Compile Source Code
i.e. javac Welcome.java

Run Byteode
i.e. java Welcome
Result
If compilation errors
If runtime errors or incorrect result

stored in the
directory?

Anatomy of a Java Program
 Comments
 Package
 Reserved words
 Modifiers
 Statements
 Blocks
 Classes
 Methods
 The main method
17
Comments
In Java, comments are
preceded by two slashes (//)
in a line, or enclosed
between /* and */ in one or
multiple lines. When the
compiler sees //, it ignores
all text after // in the
same line. When it sees /*,
18
Package
The second line in the program
(package chapter1;) specifies a
package name, chapter1, for the class
Welcome. Forte compiles the source
code in Welcome.java, generates
Welcome.class, and stores
Welcome.class in the chapter1 folder.
19
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. Other
reserved words in Example 1.1
20
Modifiers
Java uses certain reserved words called
modifiers that specify the properties of the
data, methods, and classes and how they
can be used. Examples of modifiers are
public and static. Other modifiers are
private, final, abstract, and protected. A
public datum, method, or class can be
accessed by other programs. A private
datum or method cannot be accessed by
other programs. Modifiers are discussed in
Chapter 6, "Objects and Classes."
21
Statements
A statement represents an
action or a sequence of
actions. The statement
System.out.println("Welcome
to Java!") in the program in
Example 1.1 is a statement
to display the greeting
"Welcome to Java!" Every
statement in Java ends with
22
Blocks
A pair of braces in a program
forms a block that groups
components of a program.
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");
}
}
Class block
Method block
23
Classes
The class is the essential Java
construct. A class is a template
or blueprint for objects. To
program in Java, you must
understand classes and be able
to write and use them. The
mystery of the class will
continue to be unveiled
throughout this book. For now,
though, understand that a
24
Methods
What is System.out.println? It is a method:
a collection of statements that performs a
sequence of operations to display a
message on the console. It can be used
even without fully understanding the details
of how it works. It is used by invoking a
statement with a string argument. The
string argument is enclosed within
parentheses. In this case, the argument is
"Welcome to Java!" You can call the same
println method with a different argument to
25
main Method
The main method provides the
control of program flow. The
Java interpreter executes the
application by invoking the main
method.
The main method looks like this:
public static void main(String[]
args) {
