Java Programming

Your First Java Program

The following program displays Hello, World! on the screen.

public class Main 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}

In the above code, the System.out.println() statement prints the text Hello, World! to the screen.

Remember these important things about print:

- Everything you want to print should be kept inside parentheses ().
- The text to be printed is enclosed within double quotes "".
- Each System.out.println() statement ends with a semicolon ;.

Not following the above rules will result in errors and your code will not run successfully.

Java Hello World

// Your First Program

class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!"); 
    }
}

Java Variables and Literals

int age = 24;
int AGE = 25;
System.out.println(age); // prints 24
System.out.println(AGE); // prints 25
int age; // valid name and good practice
int _age; // valid but bad practice
int $age; // valid but bad practice
int 1age; // invalid variables
int my age; // invalid variables

Java Data Types

class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
boolean flag = true;
System.out.println(flag); // prints true

byte range;
range = 124;
System.out.println(range); // prints 124

int age = 42;
System.out.println(age); // print 42

double pi = 3.14;
System.out.println(pi); // prints 3.14

char initial = 'J';
System.out.println(initial); // prints J

String name = "Jeevesh Kumar";
System.out.println(name); // prints Jeeevsh Kumar
}
}

Java / Division and % Modulo Operator

public class divMod
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int a = 13;
int b=2;
b =a/b;
System.out.println("Quotient: "+b); // Quotient 6
b = a%b;
System.out.println("Remainder: "+b); // Remainder 1
}
}

Java if...else Statement

class Main 
{ 
public static void main(String[] args) 
{ 
int number = 0; // checks if number is greater than 0 
if (number > 0) 
{ 
System.out.println("The number is positive."); 
} // checks if number is less than 0 
else if (number < 0) 
{ 
System.out.println("The number is negative."); 
} // if both condition is false 
else 
{
System.out.println("The number is 0."); 
} 
} 
}

Question 1: Write a program in Java for, assigning grades (A, B, C) based on the percentage obtained by a student.

if the percentage is above 90, assign grade A
if the percentage is above 75, assign grade B
if the percentage is above 65, assign grade C

        int day = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
        switch (day) 
        {

Stack Implementation in Java

In stack, elements are stored and accessed in Last In First Out manner. That is, elements are added to the top of the stack and removed from the top of the stack.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.Stack;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<>();

        while (true) {
            System.out.println("nStack Operations Menu:");
            System.out.println("1. Push");
            System.out.println("2. Pop");
            System.out.println("3. Search");
            System.out.println("4. Print");
            System.out.println("5. Exit");
            System.out.print("Enter your choice: ");

            int choice = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());

            switch (choice) {
                case 1:
                    System.out.print("Enter element to push: ");
                    int element = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
                    stack.push(element);
                    System.out.println("Element " + element + " pushed onto the stack.");
                    break;
                case 2:
                    if (!stack.isEmpty()) {
                        int poppedElement = stack.pop();
                        System.out.println("Popped element: " + poppedElement);
                    } else {
                        System.out.println("Stack is empty. Cannot pop element.");
                    }
                    break;
                case 3:
                    System.out.print("Enter element to search: ");
                    int searchElement = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
                    if (stack.contains(searchElement)) {
                        System.out.println("Element " + searchElement + " found in the stack.");
                    } else {
                        System.out.println("Element " + searchElement + " not found in the stack.");
                    }
                    break;
                case 4:
                    if (!stack.isEmpty()) {
                        System.out.print("Stack: ");
                        for (int i = 0; i < stack.size(); i++) {
                            System.out.print(stack.get(i) + " ");
                        }
                        System.out.println();
                    } else {
                        System.out.println("Stack is empty.");
                    }
                    break;
                case 5:
                    System.out.println("Exiting program.");
                    System.exit(0);
                default:
                    System.out.println("Invalid choice. Please enter a number between 1 and 5.");
            }
        }
    }
}

Queue Implementation in Java

import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.Queue;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Queue<Integer> myQueue = new LinkedList<>();

        // Enqueue
        enqueue(myQueue, 5);
        enqueue(myQueue, 10);
        enqueue(myQueue, 15);

        // Dequeue
        int client = dequeue(myQueue);
        System.out.println("Client served: " + client);

        // Check if queue is empty
        if (isEmpty(myQueue)) {
            System.out.println("The queue is empty.");
        } else {
            System.out.println("The queue is not empty.");
        }
    }

    // Enqueue operation
    public static void enqueue(Queue<Integer> queue, int item) {
        queue.offer(item);
        System.out.println("Added " + item + " to the queue.");
    }

    // Dequeue operation
    public static int dequeue(Queue<Integer> queue) {
        int item = queue.poll();
        return item;
    }

    // Check if queue is empty
    public static boolean isEmpty(Queue<Integer> queue) {
        return queue.isEmpty();
    }
}

Output:

Initial Queue: []

Enqueue(5):
  Queue: [5]

Enqueue(10):
  Queue: [5, 10]

Enqueue(15):
  Queue: [5, 10, 15]

Dequeue():
  Client served: 5
  Queue: [10, 15]

Is Queue Empty? No (False)

Collections

Collections store a set of elements. The elements may be of any type (numbers, objects, arrays, Strings, etc.).
A collection provides a mechanism to iterate through all of the elements that it contains. The following code is guaranteed to retrieve each item in the collection exactly once.

// Assume HOT is a collection of temperatures

// Adding items to the collection
HOT.addItem(25)
HOT.addItem(30)
HOT.addItem(35)

// Checking if the collection is empty
if not HOT.isEmpty() then
    // Resetting the iteration
    HOT.resetNext()

    // Iterating through the collection
    while HOT.hasNext() do
        // Getting the next item
        temperature = HOT.getNext()
        // Processing the item
        process(temperature)
    end while
else
    print "The collection is empty."
end if
