JAVA!
Other relevant Java lecture material:
Java Hello World
As an Application...
class HelloWorldApp [Macro error: Can't compile this script because of a syntax error.]
Java Hello World
As an Applet...
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.applet.Applet;
public class HelloWorld extends Applet [Macro error: Can't compile this script because of a syntax error.]
Referencing it in HTML...

Building a Class in Java
class Motorcycle [Macro error: Can't compile this script because of a syntax error.]
public static void main(String args[]) [Macro error: Can't compile this script because of a syntax error.]
}
Issues in Java class structures and behaviors
Terms: methods, classes, subclasses, superclasses
Single inheritance
"extends"
No "virtual" - Smalltalk-like overriding
Can define a "package"
a way of grouping together related classes and interfaces (a
collection of method names, without actual definitions, that indicate
that a class has a set of behaviors in addition to the behaviors
the class gets from its superclasess.)
Issues in Java data
Real Strings and booleans
"fred" + " " + "jones"
No pointers!
All object references are Smalltalk-like references
Dot-notation goes further
myobject.instance
myobject.instance.its_instance
myobject.getClass().getName()
Class methods and data are "static"
Java Class Libraries
java.lang: Object, String, System, Integer, Character, Float,
etc.
java.util: Date, Vector, Hashtable
java.io
java.net: Socket, URL
java.awt (Abstract Window Toolkit): Window, Menu, Button,
Font, Checkbox
java.applet: Applet, AudioClip
A More Complex Example:
class Count [Macro error: Can't compile this script because of a syntax error.]
Using the command line
import java.io.*;
class CountFile [Macro error: Can't compile this script because of a syntax error.]
Exceptions
public static void main(String args[])
throws java.io.IOException
An exception is an event that occurs
during the execution of program that prevents the continuation
of the normal flow of instructions.
In Java, when an error occurs, the program
throws an exception. You can catch exceptions and try to handle
them within a special code segment known as an exception handler.
Differences between Java and
C++
Not const but "final"
Not ~class but "finalize()"
No pointers
Strings are objects in Java, not
arrays
Java uses garbage collection
No operator overloading
No multiple inheritance
ALL
methods and objects
