Projet Java
Responsables: Ocan Sankur, Guillaume Scerri
(LSV, ENS Cachan)
Objectives
- Apprendre à programmer en Java
- Travailler à plusieurs sur un gros projet qui a
plusieurs aspects: graphisme, interface utilisateur,
réseau, concurrence, optimisation.
- Initiation à quelques notions de génie logiciel:
classes/modules réutilisable, documentation,
design patterns, tests unitaires, développement de
test par scénarios.
Projet
- Un projet à plusieurs aspects qui nécessitent
un partage des tâches et le respect des
interfaces fixées.
- Le contenu du projet sera expliqué à une
séance prochaine.

Evaluation
Il y aura
- un mini devoir: 1/6 (dans un mois)
- la première étape du projet: 2/6 -(fin Mars)
- la deuxième étape du projet: 3/6 (fin Mai)
Calendrier
- 25/01 – 08/02: Trois TP Java.
- 15/02: Data limite du mini devoir.
- 29/03: Première partie
- 31/05: Deuxième partie (et soutenance)
Il y aura des TP complémentaires sur le graphisme et réseaux,
gestionnaires de version ou autre sur demande.
Introduction
• Present the syntax of Java
• Introduce the Java API
• Demonstrate how to build
– stand-alone Java programs
– Java applets, which run within browsers e.g.
Netscape
• Example programs
Why Java?
• Very popular general-purpose language
• It’s almost entirely object-oriented
• It has a vast library of predefined objects
and operations
• It’s platform independent
– this makes it great for Web programming
• It’s more secure (than C, C++)
• It isn’t C++
Java Virtual Machine
• The .class files generated by the compiler are
not executable binaries
• Instead, they contain “byte-codes” to be
executed by the Java Virtual Machine
Building JAVA Programs (on
UNIX)
• Prepare the file [Link] using an editor
• Invoke the compiler: javac [Link]
• This creates [Link]
• Run the java interpreter: java Foo
HelloWorld
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
[Link]("Hello World!");
}
}
- This code must be put in a file named [Link], that
is, the name of the public class.
- public static void main(String [] args) is the main function
to be executed first (at most one such function must be given).
Comments are almost like C++
• /* This kind of comment can span multiple lines
*/
• // This kind is to the end of the line
• /**
* This kind of comment is a special
* ‘javadoc’ style comment
*/
Primitive data types are like C
• Main data types are int, double,
boolean, char
• Also have byte, short, long, float
• boolean has values true and false
• Declarations look like C, for example,
– double x, y;
– int count = 0;
Expressions are like C
• Assignment statements mostly look like those in C; you
can use =, +=, *= etc.
• Arithmetic uses the familiar + - * / %
• Java also has ++ and --
• Java has boolean operators && || !
• Java has comparisons < <= == != >= >
• Java does not have pointers or pointer arithmetic
Control statements are like C
• if (x < y) smaller = x;
• if (x < y){ smaller=x;sum += x;}
else { smaller = y; sum += y; }
• while (x < y) { y = y - x; }
• do { y = y - x; } while (x < y)
• for (int i = 0; i < max; i++)
sum += i;
• BUT: conditions must be boolean !
Control statements II
switch (n + 1) {
case 0: m = n - 1; break;
case 1: m = n + 1;
case 3: m = m * n; break;
default: m = -n; break;
}
• Java also has exceptions (more on that later)
So, what is a class?
• A class is a blueprint for constructing
objects, consisting of
– a collection of fields, or variables
– all the operations (called methods) that can be
performed on those fields
• A class describes objects and operations
defined on those objects
An example of a class
class Person {
String name;
int age;
void birthday ( ) {
age++;
[Link] (name+' is now '+age);
}
int getAge(){
return age;
}
}
An example of a class (cont'd)
Person p = new Person();
[Link] = “John”;
[Link] = 100;
[Link]();
[Link]();
→ ?
Here, p is an object.
While Person is its description.
A better example of a class
class Person {
private String name;
private int age;
public Person(String name, int age){
[Link] = age;
[Link] = name;
}
void birthday ( ) {
age++;
[Link] (name+' is now '+age);
}
int getAge(){ return age; }
The method Person(String name, int age) is a constructor.
An example of a class (cont'd)
Person p = new Person();
[Link] = “John”;
[Link] = “100”;
Compiler error!
[Link](); Attributes are private
[Link]();
Correct (and nicer) version:
Person p = new Person(“John”, 100);
[Link]();
[Link]();
In the second version, we avoided modifying
the attributes by hand. This is a good
practice (see next).
Object Oriented Programming
- (Almost) any entity manipulated in your programs are
objects, defined by classes. Classes:
• encapsulate all data related to the object.
• hide data related to the implementation.
• Provide methods by which one modifies
the state of the object.
General principle: You don't need to
understand how a class works in order
to use it. Just use the methods.
The class hierarchy
• Classes are arranged in a hierarchy
• The root, or topmost, class is Object
• Every class but Object has at least one
superclass
• A class may have subclasses
• Each class inherits all the fields and methods
of its (possibly numerous) superclasses
Example of hierarchy
Class Person{
int age;
String name;
}
class Driver extends Person {
long driversLicenseNumber;
Date expirationDate;
}
Driver is a subclass of Person.
Driver d = new Driver();
[Link] = “Nash”; [Link] = 100;
[Link]();
Name conventions
• Class names begin with a capital letter
• All other names begin with a lowercase
letter
• Subsequent words are capitalized:
printBirthday()
getDataFromFile()
• Underscores are not used in names:
print_birthday()
• These are very strong conventions!
Compilation
For now, edit with your favorite text
editor compile with:
javac *.java
Or, you can try the popular IDE
eclipse:

Java API and Resources
• Java has a huge standard library (The Java API).
• From now on, your primary reference shall be:
[Link]
