The following are the objectives of this laboratory session:
 To introduce to the students, the main method of a Java program.
 To introduce to the students, the output statement of a Java program.
 To introduce to the students, the Scanner class, and how to use it.

 Use one of the methods in the Scanner class to read data into the program.

Theoretical Overview
The entry point of execution of Java program is the main method.

Consider the following sample Java codes.

import java.util.Scanner;
class eg1
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int numb = 0;
Scanner myinput = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print(“Enter an integer number : “);
numb = myinput.nextInt();
System.out.println(“This is my first Java program.”);
System.out.print(“The number you enter is : “+ numb);
}
}

0 Enter the sample program using an appropriate Java text editor, compile it, test it and
understand what the program does.

1. Modify the sample program, so that it requests for two integer numbers, and it displays
your name as the author and the two integer numbers that you have read. Compile it and
test it.

Selective control structures are those control structures that the computer uses to select the
execution of statements, based on two or three alternatives.

Consider the following sample Java codes.

import java.util.Scanner;
class eg3
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int first = 0, second = 0;
Scanner myinput = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print(“Enter the first integer number : “);
first = myinput.nextInt();
System.out.print(“Enter the second integer number : “);
second = myinput.nextInt();

if (first < second)

{
System.out.print(“The first number is less than the second number”);
}
else
 {
System.out.println(“The first number is not less than the second number”);
}
}
}

 The first number is equal to the second number.
 The first number is not equal to the second number.

2. Rewrite the sample program so that it displays any of the messages:

 The first number is greater than the second number.
 The first number is not greater than the second number.

3. Rewrite the sample program so that it adds the first and second numbers and determines
if the sum is less than the first number or otherwise.

4. Rewrite the sample program so that it subtracts the second number from the first number
and determines if the difference is less than the first number or otherwise.

5. Consider the following sample program:

import java.util.Scanner;
class eg4
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int numb = 0;
Scanner myinput = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print(“Enter the first integer number : “);
numb = myinput.nextInt();
switch (numb)
{
case 70 : System.out.print(“The number is 70”); break;
case 80 : System.out.print(“The number is 80”); break;
