CPU
The central processing unit (CPU) is the brain of a computer. It
retrieves instructions from memory and executes them. The CPU
speed is measured in megahertz (MHz), with 1 megahertz equaling 1
million pulses per second. The speed of the CPU has been improved
continuously. If you buy a PC now, you can get an Intel Pentium 4
Processor at 3 gigahertz (1 gigahertz is 1000 megahertz).

Memory
Memory is to store data and program instructions for CPU to
execute. A memory unit is an ordered sequence of bytes, each holds
eight bits. A program and its data must be brought to memory before
they can be executed. A memory byte is never empty, but its initial
content may be meaningless to your program. The current content of
a memory byte is lost whenever new information is placed in it.

How Data is Stored?
Data of various kinds, such as numbers,
characters, and strings, are encoded as a
series of bits (zeros and ones). Computers
use zeros and ones because digital devices
have two stable states, which are referred to
as zero and one by convention. The
programmers need not to be concerned about
the encoding and decoding of data, which is
performed automatically by the system based
on the encoding scheme. The encoding
scheme varies. For example, character ‘J’ is
represented by 01001010 in one byte. A
small number such as three can be stored in
a single byte. If computer needs to store a
large number that cannot fit into a single
byte, it uses a number of adjacent bytes. No
two data can share or split a same byte. A
byte is the minimum storage unit.

Storage Devices
Memory is volatile, because information is lost when the power is
off. Programs and data are permanently stored on storage devices
and are moved to memory when the computer actually uses them.
There are three main types of storage devices:Disk drives (hard
disks and floppy disks), CD drives (CD-R and CD-RW), and Tape
drives.

Monitor Resolution and Dot Pitch
The resolution specifies the number of pixels per square
inch. Pixels (short for “picture elements”) are tiny dots that
form an image on the screen. The resolution can be set
manually. The higher the resolution, the sharper and
clearer the image is. However, the image may be very
small if you set high resolution on a small screen monitor.
PC monitors are usually 15-inch, 17-inch, 19-inch, or 21-
inch. For a 15-inch monitor, a comfortable resolution
setting would be 640×480 (307,200 pixels).
resolution
The dot pitch is the amount of space between pixels. The
smaller the dot pitch, the better the display.
dot pitch

Communication Devices
A regular modem uses a phone line and can transfer data in a speed up to
56,000 bps (bits per second). A DSL (digital subscriber line) also uses a
phone line and can transfer data in a speed 20 times faster than a regular
modem. A cable modem uses the TV cable line maintained by the cable
company. A cable modem is as fast as a DSL. Network interface card
(NIC) is a device to connect a computer to a local area network (LAN).
The LAN is commonly used in business, universities, and government
organizations. A typical type of NIC, called 10BaseT, can transfer data at
10 mbps (million bits per second).

Programs
Computer programs, known as software, are instructions to
the computer.
You tell a computer what to do through programs. Without
programs, a computer is an empty machine. Computers do
not understand human languages, so you need to use
computer languages to communicate with them.
Programs are written using programming languages.

Programming Languages
Machine Language Assembly Language High-Level Language
Machine language is a set of primitive instructions
built into every computer. The instructions are in
the form of binary code, so you have to enter binary
codes for various instructions. Program with native
machine language is a tedious process. Moreover
the programs are highly difficult to read and
modify. For example, to add two numbers, you
might write an instruction in binary like this:
1101101010011010

Programming Languages
Machine Language Assembly Language High-Level Language
Assembly languages were developed to make programming
easy. Since the computer cannot understand assembly
language, however, a program called assembler is used to
convert assembly language programs into machine code.
For example, to add two numbers, you might write an
instruction in assembly code like this:
ADDF3 R1, R2, R3
…
ADDF3 R1, R2, R3
…

Programming Languages
Machine Language Assembly Language High-Level Language
The high-level languages are English-like and easy to learn
and program. For example, the following is a high-level
language statement that computes the area of a circle with
radius 5:
area = 5 * 5 * 3.1415;

BASIC (Beginner All-purpose Symbolic Instructional Code)
Pascal (named for Blaise Pascal)
Ada (named for Ada Lovelace)
C (whose developer designed B first)
Visual Basic (Basic-like visual language developed by Microsoft)

Compiling Source Code
A program written in a high-level language is called a
source program. Since a computer cannot understand a
source program. Program called a compiler is used to
translate the source program into a machine language
program called an object program. The object program is
often then linked with other supporting library code before
the object can be executed on the machine.

Operating Systems
The operating system (OS) is
a program that manages and
controls a computer’s
activities. You are probably
using Windows 98, NT, 2000,
XP, or ME. Windows is
currently the most popular PC
operating system. Application
programs such as an Internet
browser and a word processor
cannot run without an
operating system.

Java is inherently object-oriented.
Although many object-oriented languages
began strictly as procedural languages,
Java was designed from the start to be
object-oriented. Object-oriented
programming (OOP) is a popular
programming approach that is replacing
traditional procedural programming
techniques.
One of the central issues in software
development is how to reuse code. Object-
oriented programming provides great
flexibility, modularity, clarity, and
reusability through encapsulation,
inheritance, and polymorphism.

You need an interpreter to run Java
programs. The programs are compiled into
the Java Virtual Machine code called
bytecode. The bytecode is machine-
independent and can run on any machine
that has a Java interpreter, which is part of
the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Compiling Java Source Code
You can port a source program to any machine with appropriate
compilers. The source program must be recompiled, however, because
the object program can only run on a specific machine. Nowadays
computers are networked to work together. Java was designed to run
object programs on any platform. With Java, you write the program
once, and compile the source program into a special type of object
code, known as bytecode. The bytecode can then run on any computer
with a Java Virtual Machine, as shown below. Java Virtual Machine is
a software that interprets Java bytecode.

slashes (//) in a line.
Paragraph comment: A paragraph comment is enclosed
between /* and */ in one or multiple lines.
javadoc comment: javadoc comments begin with /**
and end with */. They are used for documenting
classes, data, and methods. They can be extracted
into an HTML file using JDK's javadoc command.
Three types of comments in Java.

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 Listing 1.1 are public, static, and void. Their use will
be introduced later in the book.

56
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.”

57
Statements
A statement represents an action or a sequence of actions.
The statement System.out.println("Welcome to Java!") in
the program in Listing 1.1 is a statement to display the
greeting "Welcome to Java!" Every statement in Java
ends with a semicolon (;).

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

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 program is defined by using one or
more classes.

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
print a different message.

rights reserved. 0132130807
61
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) {
// Statements;
}

Displaying Text in a Message
Dialog Box
you can use the showMessageDialog method in the
JOptionPane class. JOptionPane is one of the many
predefined classes in the Java system, which can be
reused rather than “reinventing the wheel.”
RunRun
WelcomeInMessageDialogBoxWelcomeInMessageDialogBox
IMPORTANT NOTE: To enable the buttons, you must
download the entire slide file slide.zip and unzip the
files into a directory (e.g., c:slide) .

The showMessageDialog Method
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
"Welcome to Java!",
"Display Message",
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

64
Two Ways to Invoke the Method
There are several ways to use the showMessageDialog
method. For the time being, all you need to know are
two ways to invoke it.
One is to use a statement as shown in the example:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, x,
y, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
where x is a string for the text to be displayed, and y is
a string for the title of the message dialog box.
The other is to use a statement like this:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, x);
where x is a string for the text to be displayed.

A computer consists of a CPU, memory, hard disk, floppy disk, monitor, printer, and communication devices. CPU e.g., Disk, CD, and Tape Input Devices e.g., Keyboard, Mouse e.g., Monitor, Printer Communication Devices e.g., Modem, and NIC Storage Devices Memory Output Devices Bus
  • 5. Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807 5 CPU The central processing unit (CPU) is the brain of a computer. It retrieves instructions from memory and executes them. The CPU speed is measured in megahertz (MHz), with 1 megahertz equaling 1 million pulses per second. The speed of the CPU has been improved continuously. If you buy a PC now, you can get an Intel Pentium 4 Processor at 3 gigahertz (1 gigahertz is 1000 megahertz). CPU e.g., Disk, CD, and Tape Input Devices e.g., Keyboard, Mouse e.g., Monitor, Printer Communication Devices e.g., Modem, and NIC Storage Devices Memory Output Devices Bus

All rights reserved. 0132130807 6 Memory Memory is to store data and program instructions for CPU to execute. A memory unit is an ordered sequence of bytes, each holds eight bits. A program and its data must be brought to memory before they can be executed. A memory byte is never empty, but its initial content may be meaningless to your program. The current content of a memory byte is lost whenever new information is placed in it.

  • 7. Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807 7 How Data is Stored? Data of various kinds, such as numbers, characters, and strings, are encoded as a series of bits (zeros and ones). Computers use zeros and ones because digital devices have two stable states, which are referred to as zero and one by convention. The programmers need not to be concerned about the encoding and decoding of data, which is performed automatically by the system based on the encoding scheme. The encoding scheme varies. For example, character ‘J’ is represented by 01001010 in one byte. A small number such as three can be stored in a single byte. If computer needs to store a large number that cannot fit into a single byte, it uses a number of adjacent bytes. No two data can share or split a same byte. A byte is the minimum storage unit. . . . 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 . . . 01001010 01100001 01110110 01100001 00000011 Memory contentMemory address Encoding for character ‘J’ Encoding for character ‘a’ Encoding for character ‘v’ Encoding for character ‘a’ Encoding for number 3
  • 8. Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807 8 Storage Devices Memory is volatile, because information is lost when the power is off. Programs and data are permanently stored on storage devices and are moved to memory when the computer actually uses them. There are three main types of storage devices:Disk drives (hard disks and floppy disks), CD drives (CD-R and CD-RW), and Tape drives.

All rights reserved. 0132130807 10 Monitor Resolution and Dot Pitch The resolution specifies the number of pixels per square inch. Pixels (short for “picture elements”) are tiny dots that form an image on the screen. The resolution can be set manually. The higher the resolution, the sharper and clearer the image is. However, the image may be very small if you set high resolution on a small screen monitor. PC monitors are usually 15-inch, 17-inch, 19-inch, or 21- inch. For a 15-inch monitor, a comfortable resolution setting would be 640×480 (307,200 pixels). resolution The dot pitch is the amount of space between pixels. The smaller the dot pitch, the better the display. dot pitch

A DSL (digital subscriber line) also uses a phone line and can transfer data in a speed 20 times faster than a regular modem. A cable modem uses the TV cable line maintained by the cable company. A cable modem is as fast as a DSL. Network interface card (NIC) is a device to connect a computer to a local area network (LAN). The LAN is commonly used in business, universities, and government organizations. A typical type of NIC, called 10BaseT, can transfer data at 10 mbps (million bits per second).

The source program must be recompiled, however, because the object program can only run on a specific machine. Nowadays computers are networked to work together. Java was designed to run object programs on any platform. With Java, you write the program once, and compile the source program into a special type of object code, known as bytecode. The bytecode can then run on any computer with a Java Virtual Machine, as shown below. Java Virtual Machine is a software that interprets Java bytecode.

All rights reserved. 0132130807 55 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 Listing 1.1 are public, static, and void. Their use will be introduced later in the book.

All rights reserved. 0132130807 56 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.”

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 program is defined by using one or more classes.
  • 60. Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807 60 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 print a different message.

The Java interpreter executes the application by invoking the main method. The main method looks like this: public static void main(String[] args) { // Statements; }

All rights reserved. 0132130807 64 Two Ways to Invoke the Method There are several ways to use the showMessageDialog method. For the time being, all you need to know are two ways to invoke it. One is to use a statement as shown in the example: JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, x, y, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE); where x is a string for the text to be displayed, and y is a string for the title of the message dialog box. The other is to use a statement like this: JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, x); where x is a string for the text to be displayed.
