Today’s Lecture:

Overview: Introduction, what’s, how’s...

Introduction to Java

• What have you heard about Java?
• What do you know about Java?
• What have you done with Java?

Introduction

• What are we going to do with Java in this course? o General Purpose o Object Oriented Perspective o Accessing files o Design and Programming of User Interface o Accessing database

Introduction: Java as OOP

• Java is an object-oriented programming (OOP)

language

• Programming methodology that views a program as consisting of objects that interact with one another by means of actions (called methods )
• Objects of the same kind are said to have the same type or be in the same class

Introduction: Java as OOP

• In real-life, we often have complex problems that might require many actors (bosses). Such scenarios call for OOP
• A good demonstration is when acting a play. o Many actors are involved, o Each actor has to interpret his/her scenes o Though different actors are involved but they all work together to achieve a common goal

Introduction

• Other high-level languages have constructs called procedures, methods, functions, and/or subprograms

o These types of constructs are called methods in Java

o All programming constructs in Java, including methods , are part of a class

Lessons learnt so far on

programming concepts

• Recipes as algorithm is an analogy of structured programming
• Play scripts as algorithm is an analogy of OOP o In OOP, you have different objects working together to achieve a common goal
