New Features

• Scanner

• Printf

• Autoboxing

• Enumerated Types

• Foreach loop

• Generic Types

Other New Features

• Static import: import static java.Math.*;

• Variable length argument lists.

• Semaphores

• Metadata

java.util.Scanner

Scanner stdin = Scanner.create(System.in);

int n = stdin.nextInt();

String s = stdin.next();

boolean b = stdin.hasNextInt()

printf method

• Similar to C style printf

• Handles – strings– native types – numeric types– java.util.Date

• See java.util.Formatter for details

Autoboxing/Unboxing

• Wrap ints into Integers

• Extract ints from Integers

This is now legal:

Integer x = 6; //6 is boxed

Integer y = 2*x + 3; //x is unboxed, 15 is boxed

You could hide primitives entirely!

Object Only Performance

int x = 6;

int y = 2*x;

Code:

0: bipush 6

2: istore_1

3: iconst_2

4: iload_1

5: imul

6: istore_2

Object Only PerformanceInteger x = 6;Integer y = 2*x;

Code: 0: bipush 6 2: invokestatic #2;

//Method java/lang/Integer.valueOf:(I)Ljava/lang/Integer; 5: astore_1 6: iconst_2 7: aload_1 8: invokevirtual #3;

//Method java/lang/Integer.intValue:()I 11: imul 12: invokestatic #2;

//Method java/lang/Integer.valueOf:(I)Ljava/lang/Integer; 15: astore_2

Object Only Performance

Integer x = Integer.valueOf(6);

Integer y = Integer.valueOf(2 * x.IntValue);

Generates the same byte code.

Type-safe enum

enum Day { SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY,

FRIDAY, SATURDAY }

//usedDay today = Day.WEDNESDAY;

switch(today){case SUNDAY:

break;//…

}

More Complex Enum

enum Suit { CLUBS(Color.BLACK), DIAMONDS(Color.RED), HEARTS(Color.RED), SPADES(Color.BLACK);

private Color color;

Suit(Color color) { this.color = color; }

public Color getColor() { return color; } }

GenericsArrayList<Number> list = new

ArrayList<Number>();

list.add(new Integer(5)); list.add(6); list.add(new Double(3.14159/2));list.add(new

BigInteger("123456789012301234567890")); list.add(new Long(127L));

Number n = list.get(i);

Defining Generics

public class GenericStack<T> implements Iterable<T> { private T[] data; …public GenericStack() {

data = (T[])new Object[MIN_SIZE]; …}

public T pop(){ … }public void push(T item) { … }

public Iterator<T> iterator(){ … } //since it is iterable}

Defining Generic Iterator//inner class of GenericStackprivate class GenericStackIterator implements Iterator<T> {

int index; GenericStackTestIterator() {

index = top; }

public boolean hasNext() { return index >= 0; } public T next() {

if(index < 0) { throw new java.util.NoSuchElementException();

} T item = data[index]; index--; return item;

}

public void remove() { throw new UnsupportedOperationException( )

} }

For each loop (arrays)

double[] array = {2.5, 5.2, 7.9, 4.3, 2.0};

for(double d: array) {

System.out.println(d); }

Iterate (forward) through the array without paying attention to indices.

For each loop (Collections)

ArrayList<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();

list.add(7);

list.add(15);

list.add(-67);

for(Integer number: list){ System.out.println(number);

}

For each loop enums

for( Suit s: Suit.values()){

System.out.println(s.getColor());

}

values() returns an Iterator for enum types

Wish list

• Preprocessor– Embedded languages: SQL,

Regular Expression syntax.

• Operator Overloading– Assignment– Equality– [ ] for Lists

Classroom Incorporation

• Investigate use with undergrad.

• Example: Servlets/JSP in Databases

JavaCard in Architecture.

• Metadata for Generating Code in Compilers
