software, they often process data.
• Hardware includes the tangible parts of computer
systems.
• Software includes programs - sets of instructions for the
computer to follow.
• Data is information stored like Software to be processed.
• Familiarity with hardware basics helps us
understand software.
• Any text that is bold, red, and underlined may be
important for an exam. HINT HINT

Hardware and Memory
• Most modern computers have similar components
including
• Input devices (keyboard, mouse, etc.)
• Output devices (display screen, printer, etc.)
• A processor
• Two kinds of memory (main memory and auxiliary
memory).

The Processor
• Also called the CPU (central processing unit) or the
chip (e.g. Pentium processor)
• The processor processes a program’s instructions.
• It can process only very simple instructions.
• The power of computing comes from speed and
program intricacy.

Memory
• Memory holds
• programs
• data for the computer to process
• the results of intermediate processing.
• Two kinds of memory
• main memory
• auxiliary memory
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch

Main memory
• Working memory used to store
• The current program
• The data the program is using
• The results of intermediate calculations
• Usually measured in megabytes and few gigabytes
(e.g. 8 gigabytes of RAM)
• RAM is short for random access memory
• A byte is a quantity of memory
• When I talk about memory I generally mean main
memory

Auxiliary Memory
• Also called secondary memory
• Disk drives, CDs, DVDs, flash drives, etc.
• More or less permanent (nonvolatile)
• Usually measured in gigabytes and terabytes (e.g.
50 gigabyte hard drive)

Bits, Bytes, and Addresses
• A bit is a digit with a value of either 0 or 1.
• A byte consists of 8 bits.
• A word consists of generally 4 or 8 bytes.
(CPUs generally designed to work on words of
data)
• Each byte in main memory resides at a
numbered location called its address.

Storing Data
• Data of all kinds (numbers, letters, strings of
characters, audio, video, even programs) are
encoded and stored using 1s and 0s.
• When more than a single byte is needed, several
adjacent bytes are used.
• The address of the first byte is the address of the unit of
bytes.
• Information about the size also stored in programs
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch

Files
• Large groups of bytes in auxiliary memory are called
files.
• Files have names.
• Files are organized into groups called directories or
folders.
• Java programs are stored in files.
• Programs files are copied from auxiliary memory to
main memory in order to be run.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch

0s and 1s
• Machines with only 2 stable states are easy to
make, but programming using only 0s and 1s is
difficult.
• Fortunately, the conversion of numbers, letters,
strings of characters, audio, video, and programs is
done using standard tools, depending on type.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch

Programs
• A program is a set of instructions for a computer to
follow.
• We use programs almost daily (email, word
processors, video games, bank ATMs, etc.).
• Following the instructions is called running or
executing the program.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch

Program Loading and Execution
• A computer processor is given a program as its
“input”:
• The program may be given some basic information as
well, e.g. a program that displays images/movies may be
told what file to load
• An executing program may, repeatedly in no predefined
order:
• Output data to output devices (screen, printer, auxiliary
storage)
• Request data from: input devices, auxiliary storage, etc.
• The program may use additional memory to store intermediate
values, often preprocessed data.

Running a Program
• Figure 1.2
• Sometimes the computer and the program are considered to be
one unit.
• Programmers typically find this view to be more convenient.
• A program runs on a machine whose sole purpose is to run programs and
do I/O (input and output)

The Operating System
• The operating system is a supervisory program that
oversees the operation of the computer.
• The operating system retrieves and starts programs
• It also allocates memory to programs (HW also
involved)
• Provides interface for Hardware – e.g. don’t care
what type of internet connection, as long as it
exists.
• Well-known operating systems including: Microsoft
Windows, Apple’s Mac OS, Linux, and UNIX. Also,
iOS and Android

Programming Languages
• High-level languages are relatively easy to use
• Java, C#, C++, Visual Basic, Python, Ruby.
• Unfortunately, computer hardware does not
understand high-level languages.
• Therefore, a high-level language program must be
translated into a low-level language.
• Low level language like assembly or machine code
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch

Compilers
• A compiler translates a program from a high-level
language to a low-level language the computer can
run.
• You compile a program by running the compiler on
the high-level-language version of the program
called the source program.
• Compilers produce machine- or assembly-language
programs called object programs.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch

Compilers
• Most high-level languages need a different compiler
for each type of computer and for each operating
system.
• Most compilers are very large programs that are
expensive to produce.
• Take CSCE 531 if you want to try your hand at
creating one!

Java Byte-Code
• The Java compiler does not translate a Java program
into assembly language or machine language for a
particular computer.
• Instead, it translates a Java program into byte-code.
• Byte-code is the machine language for a hypothetical computer (or
interpreter) called the Java Virtual Machine.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
Java Byte-Code
• A byte-code program is easy to translate into machine language
for any particular computer.
• A program called an interpreter translates each byte-code
instruction, executing the resulting machine-language
instructions on the particular computer before translating the
next byte-code instruction.
• Most Java programs today are executed using a Just-In-Time or
JIT compiler in which byte-code is compiled as needed and
stored for later reuse without needing to be re-compiled.

Compiling, Interpreting, Running (Hello World)
• Use the compiler to translate the Java program into
byte-code (done using the javac command).
• Use the Java virtual machine for your computer to
translate each byte-code instruction into machine
language and to run the resulting machine-language
instructions (done using the java command).
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch

Portability
• After compiling a Java program into byte-code, that
byte-code can be used on any computer with a
byte-code interpreter and without a need to
recompile.
• WORA- Write Once, Run anwhere
• Byte-code can be sent over the Internet and used
anywhere in the world.
• This makes Java suitable for Internet applications.

Class Loader
• A Java program typically consists of several pieces
called classes.
• Each class may have a separate author and each is
compiled (translated into byte-code) separately.
• A class loader (called a linker in other programming
languages) automatically connects the classes
together.

Some Terminology
• The person who writes a program is called the
programmer.
• The person who interacts with the program is called
the user.
• A package is a library of classes that have been
defined already.
• import [Link];

Some Terminology
• The item(s) inside parentheses are called
argument(s) and provide the information needed
by methods.
• A variable is something that can store data.
• An instruction to the computer is called a
statement; it ends with a semicolon (don’t
overthink this – some things called statements
won’t, may end in {…}, with a list of statements)
• The grammar rules for a programming language are
called the syntax of the language.

Printing to the Screen
[Link] (“Whatever you want to print”);
• [Link] is an object for sending output to the
screen.
• println is a method to print whatever is in
parentheses to the screen.

Compiling a Java Program or Class
• A Java program consists of one or more classes, which
must be compiled before running the program.
• You need not compile classes that accompany Java
(e.g. System and Scanner).
• Each class should be in a separate file.
• The name of the file should be the same as the name
of the class (generally, it must be the same – careful
about case)
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
Compiling and Running
• Use an IDE (integrated development environment)
which combines a text editor with commands for
compiling and running Java programs.
• When a Java program is compiled, the byte-code
version of the program has the same name, but the
ending is changed from .java to .class.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
Compiling and Running
• A Java program can involve any number of classes.
• The class to run will contain the words
public static void main(String[] args)
somewhere in the file
• A program with multiple files will normally have
only one main() method.

Programming Basics: Outline
• Object-Oriented Programming
• Algorithms
• Testing and Debugging
• Software Reuse
This stuff will definitely come back later in this
course! So we’re going to gloss over it for now.

Programming
• Programming is a creative process.
• Programming can be learned by discovering the
techniques used by experienced programmers.
• These techniques are applicable to almost every
programming language, including Java.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
Object-Oriented Programming
• Our world consists of objects (people, trees, cars,
cities, airline reservations, etc.).
• Objects can perform actions (methods) which affect
themselves and other objects in the world.
• Object-oriented programming (OOP) treats a program
as a collection of objects that interact by means of
actions.
• (not all methods change some object – many may
simply return a value)
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
OOP Terminology
• Objects, appropriately, are called objects.
• Actions are called methods.
• Objects of the same kind have the same type and
belong to the same class.
• Objects within a class have a common set of methods and
the same kinds of data
• but each object can have its own data values.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch

OOP Design Principles
• OOP adheres to three primary design
principles:
• Encapsulation
• Polymorphism
• Inheritance
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
Introduction to Encapsulation
• The data and methods associated with any
particular class are encapsulated (“put together in a
capsule”), but only part of the contents is made
accessible.
• Encapsulation provides a means of using the class, but it
omits the details of how the class works.
• Encapsulation often is called information hiding.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
Accessibility Example
• An automobile consists of several parts and pieces
and is capable of doing many useful things.
• Awareness of the accelerator pedal, the brake pedal, and
the steering wheel is important to the driver.
• Awareness of the fuel injectors, the automatic braking
control system, and the power steering pump is not
important to the driver.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
Introduction to Polymorphism
• From the Greek meaning “many forms”
• The same program instruction adapts to mean
different things in different contexts.
• A method name, used as an instruction, produces results
that depend on the class of the object that used the
method.
• Everyday analogy: “play your favorite sport” causes
different people to do different activities
• More about polymorphism in Chapter 8

Introduction to Inheritance
• Classes can be organized using inheritance.
• A class at lower levels inherits all the
characteristics of classes above it in the hierarchy.
• At each level, classifications become more
specialized by adding other characteristics.
• Higher classes are more inclusive; lower classes are
less inclusive.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
Inheritance in Java
• Used to organize classes
• “Inherited” characteristics do not need to be
repeated.
• New characteristics are added.
• More about inheritance in chapter 8

Algorithms
• By designing methods, programmers provide
actions for objects to perform.
• An algorithm describes a means of performing an
action.
• Once an algorithm is defined, expressing it in Java
(or in another programming language) usually is
easy.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
Algorithms
• An algorithm is a set of instructions for solving a
problem that must be expressed completely and
precisely.
• No “fall-through” cases, i.e. there should be a
simple decision made at each step or an action
taken
• More complicated algs. may call other algs. (like
addition).
• Algorithms usually are expressed in English or in
pseudocode.

Example: Total Cost of All Items
• Write the number 0 on the whiteboard.
• For each item on the list
• Add the cost of the item to the number on the whiteboard
• Replace the number on the whiteboard with the result of
this addition.
• Announce that the answer is the number written on
the whiteboard.

Reusable Components
• Most programs are created by combining
components that exist already.
• Reusing components saves time and money.
• Reused components are likely to be better
developed, and more reliable.
• New components should designed to be reusable
by other applications.

Testing and Debugging
• Eliminate errors by avoiding them in the first place.
• Carefully design classes, algorithms and methods.
• Carefully code everything into Java.
• Test your program with appropriate test cases
(some where the answer is known), discover and fix
any errors, then retest.
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch

Errors
• An error in a program is called a bug.
• Eliminating errors is called debugging.
• Three kinds of errors
• Syntax errors
• Runtime errors
• Logic errors
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
Syntax Errors
• Grammatical mistakes in a program
• The grammatical rules for writing a program are very
strict
• The compiler catches syntax errors and prints an
error message.
• Example: using a period where a program expects a
comma
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
Runtime Errors
• Errors that are detected when your program is
running, but not during compilation
• When the computer detects an error, it terminates
the program and prints an error message.
• Example: attempting to divide by 0
JAVA: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming, 7th Ed. By Walter Savitch
ISBN 0133862119 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved
Logic Errors
• Errors that are not detected during compilation or
while running, but which cause the program to
produce incorrect results
• Example: an attempt to calculate a Fahrenheit
temperature from a Celsius temperature by
multiplying by 9/5 and adding 23 instead of 32

Software Reuse
• Programs not usually created entirely from scratch
• Most contain components which already exist
• Reusable classes are used
• Design class objects which are general
• Java provides many classes
