What is a Computer? 3 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
CPU 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 4 The central processing unit (CPU) is the brain of a computer. It retrieves instructions from memory and executes them. The unit of measurement of clock speed is the hertz (Hz), with 1 hertz equaling 1 pulse per second. In the 1990s, computers measured clock speed in megahertz (MHz), but CPU speed has been improving continuously; the clock speed of a computer is now usually stated in gigahertz (GHz). Intel’s newest processors run at about 3 GHz.
Memory 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 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. 6 . . . 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 . . . 01001010 01100001 01110110 01100001 00000011 Memory content Memory address Encoding for character ‘J’ Encoding for character ‘a’ Encoding for character ‘v’ Encoding for character ‘a’ Encoding for number 3
Storage 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 7 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), CD drives (CD-R and CD-RW), and USB flash drives.
Output Devices: Monitor 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 8 The monitor displays information (text and graphics). The resolution and dot pitch determine the quality of the display.
Monitor Resolution and Dot Pitch 9 The screen resolution specifies the number of pixels in horizontal and vertical dimensions of the display device. Pixels (short for “picture elements”) are tiny dots that form an image on the screen. A common resolution for a 17-inch screen, for example, is 1,024 pixels wide and 768 pixels high. The resolution can be set manually. The higher the resolution, the sharper and clearer the image is. resolution The dot pitch is the amount of space between pixels, measured in millimeters. The smaller the dot pitch, the sharper the display. dot pitch
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 10 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 high-speed NIC, called 1000BaseT, can transfer data at 1000 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. 11
Programming Languages Machine Language Assembly Language High-Level Language 12 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 13 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
Programming Languages Machine Language Assembly Language High-Level Language 14 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;
Popular High-Level Languages 15 Language Description Ada BASIC C C++ C# COBOL FORTRAN Java Pascal Python Visual Basic Named for Ada Lovelace, who worked on mechanical general-purpose computers. The Ada language was developed for the Department of Defense and is used mainly in defense projects. Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. It was designed to be learned and used easily by beginners. Developed at Bell Laboratories. C combines the power of an assembly language with the ease of use and portability of a high-level language. C++ is an object-oriented language, based on C. Pronounced “C Sharp.” It is a hybrid of Java and C++ and was developed by Microsoft. COmmon Business Oriented Language. Used for business applications. FORmula TRANslation. Popular for scientific and mathematical applications. Developed by Sun Microsystems, now part of Oracle. It is widely used for developing platform- independent Internet applications. Named for Blaise Pascal, who pioneered calculating machines in the seventeenth century. It is a simple, structured, general-purpose language primarily for teaching programming. A simple general-purpose scripting language good for writing short programs. Visual Basic was developed by Microsoft and it enables the programmers to rapidly develop graphical user interfaces.
Interpreting/Compiling Source Code A program written in a high-level language is called a source program or source code. Because a computer cannot understand a source program, a source program must be translated into machine code for execution. The translation can be done using another programming tool called an interpreter or a compiler. 16
Interpreting Source Code An interpreter reads one statement from the source code, translates it to the machine code or virtual machine code, and then executes it right away, as shown in the following figure. Note that a statement from the source code may be translated into several machine instructions. 17
Compiling Source Code A compiler translates the entire source code into a machine-code file, and the machine-code file is then executed, as shown in the following figure. 18
Operating Systems The operating system (OS) is a program that manages and controls a computer’s activities. The popular operating systems for general-purpose computers are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Application programs, such as a Web browser or a word processor, cannot run unless an operating system is installed and running on the computer. 19
Why Java? 20 The answer is that Java enables users to develop and deploy applications on the Internet for servers, desktop computers, and small hand-held devices. The future of computing is being profoundly influenced by the Internet, and Java promises to remain a big part of that future. Java is the Internet programming language. Java is a general purpose programming language. Java is the Internet programming language.
Java, Web, and Beyond • Java can be used to develop standalone applications. • Java can be used to develop applications running from a browser. • Java can also be used to develop applications for hand-held devices. • Java can be used to develop applications for Web servers. 21
Java’s History The history of Java is very interesting. Java was originally designed for interactive television, but it was too advanced technology for the digital cable television industry at the time. The history of Java starts with the Green Team. Java team members (also known as Green Team), initiated this project to develop a language for digital devices such as set-top boxes, televisions, etc. However, it was best suited for internet programming. Later, Java technology was incorporated by Netscape. The principles for creating Java programming were "Simple, Robust, Portable, Platform- independent, Secured, High Performance, Multithreaded, Architecture Neutral, Object-Oriented, Interpreted, and Dynamic". Java was developed by James Gosling, who is known as the father of Java, in 1995. James Gosling and his team members started the project in the early '90s. James Gosling - founder of java 22
Java’s History Currently, Java is used in internet programming, mobile devices, games, e-business solutions, etc. Following are given significant points that describe the history of Java. 1) James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton initiated the Java language project in June 1991. The small team of sun engineers called Green Team. 2) Initially it was designed for small, embedded systems in electronic appliances like set- top boxes. 3) Firstly, it was called "Greentalk" by James Gosling, and the file extension was .gt. 4) After that, it was called Oak and was developed as a part of the Green project. 23
Java’s History Why Java was named as "Oak"? Java History from Oak to Java 5) Why Oak? Oak is a symbol of strength and chosen as a national tree of many countries like the U.S.A., France, Germany, Romania, etc. 6) In 1995, Oak was renamed as "Java" because it was already a trademark by Oak Technologies. Why Java Programming named "Java"? 7) Why had they chose the name Java for Java language? The team gathered to choose a new name. The suggested words were "dynamic", "revolutionary", "Silk", "jolt", "DNA", etc. They wanted something that reflected the essence of the technology: revolutionary, dynamic, lively, cool, unique, and easy to spell, and fun to say. According to James Gosling, "Java was one of the top choices along with Silk". Since Java was so unique, most of the team members preferred Java than other names. 24
Java’s History 8) Java is an island in Indonesia where the first coffee was produced (called Java coffee). It is a kind of espresso bean. Java name was chosen by James Gosling while having a cup of coffee nearby his office. 9) Notice that Java is just a name, not an acronym. 10) Initially developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which is now a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995. 11) In 1995, Time magazine called Java one of the Ten Best Products of 1995. 12) JDK 1.0 was released on January 23, 1996. After the first release of Java, there have been many additional features added to the language. Now Java is being used in Windows applications, Web applications, enterprise applications, mobile applications, cards, etc. Each new version adds new features in Java. 25

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.

Creating, Compiling, and Running Programs 44
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. 45

Anatomy of a Java Program • Class name • Main method • Statements • Statement terminator • Reserved words • Comments • Blocks 50
Class Name Every Java program must have at least one class. Each class has a name. By convention, class names start with an uppercase letter. In this example, the class name is Welcome. 51 // This program prints Welcome to Java! public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } }
Main Method Line 2 defines the main method. In order to run a class, the class must contain a method named main. The program is executed from the main method. 52 // This program prints Welcome to Java! public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } }
Statement 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!“. 53 // This program prints Welcome to Java! public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } }
Statement Terminator 54 // This program prints Welcome to Java! public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } } Every statement in Java ends with a semicolon (;).
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. 55 // This program prints Welcome to Java! public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } }
Blocks 56 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
Special Symbols 57 Character Name Description {} () [] // " " ; Opening and closing braces Opening and closing parentheses Opening and closing brackets Double slashes Opening and closing quotation marks Semicolon Denotes a block to enclose statements. Used with methods. Denotes an array. Precedes a comment line. Enclosing a string (i.e., sequence of characters). Marks the end of a statement.
{ … } 58 // This program prints Welcome to Java! public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } }
( … ) 59 // This program prints Welcome to Java! public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } }

    Interpreting/Compiling Source Code Aprogram written in a high-level language is called a source program or source code. Because a computer cannot understand a source program, a source program must be translated into machine code for execution. The translation can be done using another programming tool called an interpreter or a compiler. 16
  • 17.
    Interpreting Source Code Aninterpreter reads one statement from the source code, translates it to the machine code or virtual machine code, and then executes it right away, as shown in the following figure. Note that a statement from the source code may be translated into several machine instructions. 17

    Java’s History The historyof Java is very interesting. Java was originally designed for interactive television, but it was too advanced technology for the digital cable television industry at the time. The history of Java starts with the Green Team. Java team members (also known as Green Team), initiated this project to develop a language for digital devices such as set-top boxes, televisions, etc. However, it was best suited for internet programming. Later, Java technology was incorporated by Netscape. The principles for creating Java programming were "Simple, Robust, Portable, Platform- independent, Secured, High Performance, Multithreaded, Architecture Neutral, Object-Oriented, Interpreted, and Dynamic". Java was developed by James Gosling, who is known as the father of Java, in 1995. James Gosling and his team members started the project in the early '90s. James Gosling - founder of java 22

    Java’s History Currently, Javais used in internet programming, mobile devices, games, e-business solutions, etc. Following are given significant points that describe the history of Java. 1) James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton initiated the Java language project in June 1991. The small team of sun engineers called Green Team. 2) Initially it was designed for small, embedded systems in electronic appliances like set- top boxes. 3) Firstly, it was called "Greentalk" by James Gosling, and the file extension was .gt. 4) After that, it was called Oak and was developed as a part of the Green project. 23
  • 24.
    Java’s History Why Javawas named as "Oak"? Java History from Oak to Java 5) Why Oak? Oak is a symbol of strength and chosen as a national tree of many countries like the U.S.A., France, Germany, Romania, etc. 6) In 1995, Oak was renamed as "Java" because it was already a trademark by Oak Technologies. Why Java Programming named "Java"? 7) Why had they chose the name Java for Java language? The team gathered to choose a new name. The suggested words were "dynamic", "revolutionary", "Silk", "jolt", "DNA", etc. They wanted something that reflected the essence of the technology: revolutionary, dynamic, lively, cool, unique, and easy to spell, and fun to say. According to James Gosling, "Java was one of the top choices along with Silk". Since Java was so unique, most of the team members preferred Java than other names. 24

    Java’s History 8) Javais an island in Indonesia where the first coffee was produced (called Java coffee). It is a kind of espresso bean. Java name was chosen by James Gosling while having a cup of coffee nearby his office. 9) Notice that Java is just a name, not an acronym. 10) Initially developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which is now a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995. 11) In 1995, Time magazine called Java one of the Ten Best Products of 1995. 12) JDK 1.0 was released on January 23, 1996. After the first release of Java, there have been many additional features added to the language. Now Java is being used in Windows applications, Web applications, enterprise applications, mobile applications, cards, etc. Each new version adds new features in Java. 25

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.

    Compiling Java SourceCode 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. 45

    Anatomy of aJava Program • Class name • Main method • Statements • Statement terminator • Reserved words • Comments • Blocks 50
  • 51.
    Class Name Every Javaprogram must have at least one class. Each class has a name. By convention, class names start with an uppercase letter. In this example, the class name is Welcome. 51 // This program prints Welcome to Java! public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } }
  • 52.
    Main Method Line 2defines the main method. In order to run a class, the class must contain a method named main. The program is executed from the main method. 52 // This program prints Welcome to Java! public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } }
  • 53.
    Statement A statement representsan 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!“. 53 // This program prints Welcome to Java! public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } }
  • 54.
    Statement Terminator 54 // Thisprogram prints Welcome to Java! public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } } Every statement in Java ends with a semicolon (;).
  • 55.
    Reserved words Reserved wordsor 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. 55 // This program prints Welcome to Java! public class Welcome { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); } }
