 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 Performance
Integer 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 }

//used
Day 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; }

}
 Generics
ArrayList<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 GenericStack
private 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
