 Slides for this talk
 Software packages
– TerminalIO
– TurtleGraphics
– BreezySwing
Languages for Introductory
Programming
Fortran (60's)
 PL/1 (70's)
 Pascal and Modula (80's)
 C++ (90's)
 Java (2000 and beyond)

Why Java?
Pascal a teaching language
 C++ a developer's language
 Java a bit of both

– For teaching
• Smaller, simpler syntax than C++
– For developer's
• Safe, portable, vast supporting libraries
C++ I/O

Stream I/O
–
–
–
–
–

Simple, flexible
Supports both terminal and files
cin, cout for console
Stream objects for files
Suitable for introductory course
GUI's
– Platform dependent
– Complex
– Not suitable for introductory course
Java I/O

Stream I/O
– Moderately difficult
– Several simple patterns cover basic situations
– Somewhat suitable for introductory course

GUIs
– Platform independent
– Complex
• but several complex patterns cover basic situations
– Doable but not really suitable for introductory
course
AP I/O Requirements
Terminal output with System.out
 Package supported stream input

– Basic read functions for intrinsic data types
Advantage of AP Approach
Leaves more time for everything else
 Including some I/O that is

– Enjoyable
– Meaningful
– Non-distracting

Temperature Conversion
User Interface
Enter degrees Fahrenheit: 212
The equivalent in Celsius is 100.0
Implementation
import TerminalIO.KeyboardReader;
public class Convert {
public static void main(String [] args) {
double fahrenheit;
double celsius;
KeyboardReader reader = new KeyboardReader();
fahrenheit = reader.readDouble("Enter degrees Fahrenheit: ");
celsius = (fahrenheit - 32.0) * 5.0 / 9.0;
System.out.println("The equivalent in Celsius is " + celsius);
}
}
Menu Driven Conversion
1) Convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius
2) Convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit
3) Quit
Enter your option: 1
Enter degrees Fahrenheit: 212
Degrees Celsius = 100.0
1) Convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius
2) Convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit
3) Quit
Enter your option: 2
Etc…
Implementation (1 of 2)
import TerminalIO.*;

//The multiline menu

+ "\n2) Convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit"
+ "\n3) Quit"
+ "\nEnter your option: ";
Implementation (2 of 2)

Drawback of Flow Layout
Fields move around when window
resized
 Solution – use a gridbag layout

– Unfortunately, considerably more complex
Summary
AP Java has minimal I/O requirements
 Take advantage of this to

– Have fun and
– Add interest

While
– providing useful skills and
– Avoiding unnecessary complexity
