# Lecture for January 23

## Java Class
|
|
|
|
In Java, your code must live in a class.
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
public class NameOfClass {
|
|
public static void main(String[] args) {
|
|
// All program code
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is important that `NameOfClass` is named meaningfully for the code. It is convention to use CamelCase when using classes. (Capitalize your class names!)
|
|
|
|
All methods have a method signature, it is unique to it. For main it is the words `public static void` and the argument `String[] args`.
|
|
|
|
`public` means that any other piece of code can reference it.
|
|
|
|
`void` means that the method returns nothing
|
|
|
|
`main` is the name of the method. It is important to have `main` since that tells the Java Interpreter where to start in your program.
|
|
|
|
`String[] args` is the command line arguments inputted into the program. For this part of the class, we don't need to worry about it.
|
|
|
|
If you noticed `String` is a class, it is not a primitive type. This is denoted in Java by having it capitalized.
|
|
|
|
## Arithmetic Expressions
|
|
|
|
There is an order of operations in programming as well. It goes like this:
|
|
|
|
1. Parenthesis
|
|
2. Unary Operations
|
|
3. *, /, %
|
|
4. +, -
|
|
|
|
And from there you read from left to right.
|
|
|
|
## Constant Variables
|
|
|
|
These are variables that can never be changed
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
final int MINUTES_PER_HOUR = 60
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The keyword `final` indicates to the Java compiler that it is a constant variable.
|
|
|
|
By convention, constants are in all caps with underscores being separated between the words
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Java Math Library
|
|
|
|
There are some arithmetic expressions that we want to be able to do and we cannot achieve that simply with the standard operations
|
|
|
|
| Method | Description |
|
|
| -------------- | ----------------------------- |
|
|
| Math.sqrt(x) | square root |
|
|
| Math.abs(x) | absolute value |
|
|
| Math.pow(a, b) | exponentiation $a^b$ |
|
|
| Math.max(a, b) | returns the maximum of a or b |
|
|
| Math.min(a, b) | returns the minimum of a or b |
|
|
| Math.round(x) | rounds to the nearest integer |
|
|
|
|
## Example: Finding Areas
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
public class MoreVariables
|
|
public static void main(String[] args) {
|
|
// Decrate a variable
|
|
int x;
|
|
|
|
// Initialize ia variable
|
|
x = 5;
|
|
|
|
// Area of a square
|
|
int squareArea = x * x;
|
|
System.out.println("Area of a square: " + squareArea);
|
|
double newSquare = Math.pow(x, 2);
|
|
System.out.println("Area of square: " + newSquare);
|
|
|
|
// Area of Circle
|
|
final double PI = 3.14159;
|
|
double radius = 3;
|
|
double circleArea = radius * radius * PI;
|
|
System.out.println("Area of circle: " + circleArea);
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
```
