1. 1 CSC204 – Programming I Lecture 2 Intro to OOP with Java

2. 2 Topics  Ways to compile and execute a program  Java’s approach  Considerations for software design  Object and class  [Running a simple Java program]

3. 3 Automation Starts from Programs  What is a program?  How can the instructions defined in a program be executed? They need to be translated into machine code first public class AutomatedProcess { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Step #1"); System.out.println("Step #2"); System.out.println("Step #3"); }

5. 5 Compilation  The program’s source code is given to a program called a compiler.  The compiler checks that the source code is valid (obeys the rules of the language) and translates it to machine instructions for a particular CPU.  The compiled program (also know as executable) is stored in a file, and it can be run as many times as desired.

7. 7 Interpretation  The program’s source code is given to a program known as an interpreter.  The interpreter executes the program without first translating it to machine instructions.  The interpreter itself is normally a compiled program, so it can execute machine instructions corresponding to the source code.

9. 9 Problems w/ Networked Computers  Different machines are interconnected to each other in a interconnected farm of machines  Each of them may uses a different machine language  How can a program be executed on these different machines? System ASystem B X How can it run on System B? Compiled program compiled on System A

11. 11 Java’s Approach  Java employs a combination of compilation and interpretation.  The Java compiler translates the original program into bytecode instructions for a computer called the Java Virtual Machine.  The resulting bytecode program is then executed by an interpreter.  One advantage of Java’s approach is that programs don’t need a particular CPU or operating system.

13. 13 Ways to Handle Complexity  S/W can be considered as virtual machineries that automate some information processes  These systems consist of virtual s/w parts  Ways to handle the complexity Abstraction: consider only the essential aspect of a real world information process Encapsulation: don’t tell us how to make the ice cubes, just let us know which button to press to get them Modularity: I need a car with 4 wheels, two doors,... Hierarchy:  Composition: each book has a number of chapters, each...  Taxonomy: a bird is an animal that can fly, an eagle is...

19. 19 What is an Object?  An object is a s/w entity that can do something for other part of the s/w system (another object)  An object is a runtime entity, it only exists when the s/w system is in execution A class, or the template of objects of the same kind is defined by a program (source code) A class file (executable) is created as a result of compilation. It is loaded into memory when executed Objects can then be instantiated using the class definition

20. 20 How Do Objects Work Each Other?  we can refer to the object that does sth a server, the one that requests the service a client  From the client perspective, how can you get the service (alarm)? Passing a message to the server (clock): clock, please set the alarm to 7 am sharp! Recipient service (or operation) additional info clock.setAlarm(7);  From the server’s perspective, it is responsible for Maintain certain properties: such the due time at which the alarm will ring Be able to perform certain operations: allowing clients to set alarm and starting the alarm at due time

21. 21 Steps for Java Programming  Analysis  Design  Implementation Edit your code Compile your code  Testing Execute your code (using test data) [Debug your code]

22. 22 A Quick Walkthrough  Open your favorite text editor (e.g. NotePad)  Copy the code snippet (on slide #3) into a blank text file  Save it as c:\myname\AutomatedProcess.java Create a folder c:\myname as shown in class  Open a DOS prompt  Change directory to the folder in which you saved the.java file  Type javac AutomatedProcess.java to compile  Type dir to check the bytecode executable you just created: AutomatedProcess.class  Type java AutomatedProcess to execute
