Talk to your classmates for help. You may want to bring your textbook to future labs to look up syntax and examples. Stuck? Confused? Have a question? Ask a TA for help, or look at the book or past lecture slides. Complete as much of the lab as you can within the allotted time. You don't need to keep working on these exercises after you leave. Feel free to complete problems in any order. Make sure you've signed in on the sign-in sheet before you leave! Today's lab Goals for today: gain a better understanding of how scope works learn the basics of declaring and passing parameters to methods Learn to set a break with the jGRASP debugger to find out what is going on inside a program use the instructor-provided DrawingPanel and Java's Graphics and Color classes Scope Scope: a variable's scope is the part of a program in which it exists. In Java, the scope of a variable starts where it is declared and ends when the closing curly brace for the block that contains it is reached.

public static void main(String[] args) {
int x = 5;
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
int y = 10;
System.out.println(x) // x is still in scope here!
}
System.out.println(x) // x is still in scope here, too!
} x is in scope between its declaration on line 2, and the curly brace that encloses it on line 8. y is in scope between its declaration on line 4 and the curly brace that encloses it on line 6. Loop variables are in scope between their for loop's { }. So, i is in scope between lines 3 - 6. Note: Two variables with the same name cannot both exist within the same scope.

number = number * 37 % 103;
}
int number2 = number * number;
System.out.println("result = " + number2);
}
}
Set a breakpoint on the statement inside the for loop (line 5). Do this by moving your cursor to the beginning of that line until you see a stop-sign icon and then clicking. continued on the next slide... Exercise - jGRASP Debugger Now you can debug the program by clicking on the debug icon (looks like a ladybug). The debugger will now pause every time we reach line 5. You can see the values of i and number in the variables tab (should be on the left side of the screen). To continue running, press the top-left play or step buttons. continued on the next slide... JGrasp Debugger Using this approach, fill in the table below indicating what value number has when i has the given value. Keep in mind that you are figuring out what value number has just before it executes line 5. The line of code with the --> pointing to it and the ---- box around it is the line that the debugger is about to execute. i = 1, number = 42 i = 2, number = 9 i = 3, number = 24 i = 4, number = 64 continued on the next slide... Exercise - jGRASP Debugger Click on the stop-sign a second time to get rid of it and then set a new stop point on line number 7. This will allow you to find out the value of number after the loop is done executing. Again press "play" to start the programming running again. At line 7, what is the value of number? 69 Graphics Now we'll explore several exercises related to drawing graphics. (none) We'll use a provided class DrawingPanel that works with Java classes Graphics (a "pen" for drawing) and Color. Download DrawingPanel.java by right-clicking the link and selecting "save as". You can't open DrawingPanel by clicking on an icon. But if you make a DrawingPanel in Java (which we'll do soon!), a panel will open in a pop-up! You can interact with this window with your mouse, and can check the correctness of your drawings in DrawingPanel by clicking File, Compare to Web File.... Exercise : Graphics DrawingPanel is like a canvas on which you can draw, and Graphics is like a paint brush. The coordinate system for the DrawingPanel is different from the one you might be used to. Y coordinates get more positive the further down they are, and more negative the further up they are. Exercise - Continued Here is a small segment of code that uses the DrawingPanel and Graphics to start a new canvas to draw on.

// Makes a new canvas that is 220px by 150px
DrawingPanel panel = new DrawingPanel(220, 150);
// This gets the paint brush
Graphics g = panel.getGraphics();
}
}
Copy and paste this code into jGRASP, then save it and compile it. You should store this program in the same directory where you saved DrawingPanel.java. Exercise : Graphics 2 You can draw shapes on the canvas using your Graphics paint brush. Here are some things you can ask your paint brush to draw: g.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2); This will draw a line from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2) g.drawOval(x, y, width, height); This will draw the biggest oval that fits within the box of size width * height with the top left corner at (x, y). g.drawRect(x, y, width, height); This will draw a rectangle of size width x height with the top left at (x, y) Exercise - Continued Try drawing the following on a 500 by 500 canvas: A line starting at (200, 200) and going to (350, 425) A rectangle starting at (10, 10) with a width of 150 and a height of 250. An oval starting at (350, 300) with a width of 140 and a height of 100. Exercise - Solution

g.drawRect(10, 10, 150, 250);

}
}
Exercise : Graphics 3 You can also draw shapes that are filled in, instead of just an outline: g.fillOval(x, y, width, height); g.fillRect(x, y, width, height); Exercise - Continued Try drawing the following on a 300 by 300 canvas: A filled rectangle starting at (150, 200) with a width of 50 and a height of 75. A filled oval starting at (25, 50) with a width of 100 and a height of 50. Exercise - Solution

Exercise : Graphics 4 Here is a list of some colors: Color.RED Color.BLUE Color.BLACK Color.YELLOW Color.ORANGE Color.GREEN Color.LIGHT_GRAY Color.MAGENTA You can also change the color of what you draw. It helps to think about changing colors as dipping your paint brush (Graphics) into a can of paint. g.setColor(Color.RED); This will change the color of your paint brush. panel.setBackground(Color.BLUE); This will change the color of the canvas. Exercise - Continued Try drawing the following on a 300 by 300 canvas that is light gray in color: A blue filled rectangle starting at (150, 200) with a width of 50 and a height of 75. A red filled oval starting at (25, 50) with a width of 100 and a height of 50. A magenta line starting at (120, 130) going to (160, 175) Exercise - Solution

Exercise : Printing Strings Write a method called printStrings that accepts a String and a number of repetitions as parameters and prints that String the given number of times. For example, the call:
printStrings("abc", 5);
will print the following output:

Complete the program by creating a full Java class with a main method. Try calling your method several times from main and see what happens when you pass different values. Check your work on PracticeIt by clicking the purple checkmark at the top of the page, and copy/pasting your printStrings method (not your full code)! Exercise : Parameter Mystery Fill in the boxes with the output that each method call would produce:

String two = "three";
String three = "1";
int number = 20;

Each stair is 10px wider than the one above it. Fill in the table below with the coordinates and sizes of the first five stairs. Note which values change and which ones stay the same. stair x y width height 1 5 5 10 10 2 5 15 20 10 3 5 25 30 10 4 5 35 40 10 5 5 45 50 10 Exercise : Stairs Write a complete Java program to draw the stairs. Copy/paste the code template below into jGRASP and fill in your own expressions or values for each stair's x, y, width, and height. Use your table from the previous slide to help you find the correct expressions. The values that change for each stair should become expressions in terms of the loop counter variable, i.

// output 3
g.drawRect(95 - 10*i, 5 + 10*i, 10 + 10*i, 10);
// output 4
g.drawRect(5 + 10*i, 5 + 10*i, 100 - 10*i, 10);
