Java programming notes for Macintosh

These notes describe the experiences of new Java programmers using the Wikiversity Introduction to Programming in Java pages.

OSX 10.4
This section has notes for OSX 10.4, but if you are using a different version of OSX, please start a new section and document any differences.

Introduction to Java
"Apple sets everything up for you" <-- this may be true, but I wondered if I have the latest version of the Java files for Macintosh. I went to the Apple website in search of information about Java versions and updates. According to that webpage at the Apple website, "Mac OS X includes the full version of Java 2, Standard Edition" and according to the introduction, "Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) ... is the one this course uses". I also followed the link from Introduction to Programming in Java to the Java Programming book module at Wikibooks. I went to Java Programming/Installation and found instructions for how to check the version of the "Java Development Kit". The instructions start with "first open a terminal window". If you have never opened a terminal window on a Macintosh, look for the Terminal utility in the Utilities folder of the Applications folder. Here is what my Terminal session looked like when I entered "javac -version": Last login: Tue Mar 13 15:44:45 on console Welcome to Darwin! john-schmidts-emac:~ johnschmidt$ javac -version javac 1.5.0_07 javac: no source files Usage: javac where possible options include: -g                        Generate all debugging info -g:none                   Generate no debugging info -g:{lines,vars,source}    Generate only some debugging info -nowarn                   Generate no warnings -verbose                  Output messages about what the compiler is doing -deprecation              Output source locations where deprecated APIs are used -classpath         Specify where to find user class files -cp                Specify where to find user class files -sourcepath        Specify where to find input source files -bootclasspath     Override location of bootstrap class files -extdirs           Override location of installed extensions -endorseddirs      Override location of endorsed standards path -d            Specify where to place generated class files -encoding      Specify character encoding used by source files -source         Provide source compatibility with specified release -target         Generate class files for specific VM version -version                  Version information -help                     Print a synopsis of standard options -X                        Print a synopsis of nonstandard options -J                  Pass directly to the runtime system At the Apple downloads page, I searched for "Java" and found Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 5 as the first item. It says that it updates your J2SE 5.0 to version 1.5.0_07. I assume this means I have the latest version.

Hello world
"Open up a text editor" I used TextWrangler to create my HelloWorld.java text file.

I created a "Java" folder in my documents folder and saved my HelloWorld.java text file in that folder.

"navigate to the folder that you saved HelloWorld.java to" To find the path to my HelloWorld.java file, I did a drag and drop of the file's icon into the Terminal utility. I deleted the name of the file, just leaving the path in the Terminal input line. I used the left arrow key to move the input cursor to the start of the input line, and entered cd (change directory):

john-schmidts-emac:~ johnschmidt$ cd /Users/johnschmidt/Documents/Java

After changing the directory, the prompt in Terminal looked like:

john-schmidts-emac:~/Documents/Java johnschmidt$

I then entered "javac HelloWorld.java" as shown below:

john-schmidts-emac:~/Documents/Java johnschmidt$ javac HelloWorld.java

After entering that line into the Terminal utility, there was a new "HelloWorld.class" file in my Java folder. I then entered "java HelloWorld" as shown below:

john-schmidts-emac:~/Documents/Java johnschmidt$ java HelloWorld Hello World!

The text "Hello World!" was returned in the next line of the Terminal window.

Integer Variables
In the Integer Variables lesson, it was mentioned that Java represents text characters as a type of integer according to the Unicode standard numbering system. Since any Java program is a collection of characters, is it possible to allow Java programs to treat themselves as integer data files? Could a Java program print itself? Could a Java program replicate itself?

Reading

 * Self-printing programs by David Madore
 * Self-printing Java, without using semicolons by Macneil Shonle

Quine challenge
Confirm that you can find a Java program that will print itself. Describe your results below.

mshonle:~/Desktop$ java Quine > QuineOutput mshonle:~/Desktop$ diff Quine.java QuineOutput mshonle:~/Desktop$

I'm guessing that the above three lines first store the "printed" output of the program "Quine" in a container called "QuineOutput". Then "diff Quine.java QuineOutput" probably compares the text in the Quine.java source code file to the printed output stored in "QuineOutput". The last of the three lines above apparently indicated that there is no "diff, the program has printed its own source code.

"public static void main (String[] args)" <-- what is the purpose of this incantation? --JWSchmidt 17:34, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

installing JDK on Linux
I don't really know what I am doing, so I'm not adding this to the article, but surely there's an easier way to install JDK on Linux than the one described, using the distro's package manager. Well in fact I know there is on Ubuntu at least, because I just installed it that way. Of course I don't know if there is some draw back to doing it this way. If someone more experienced than me could put the info up that would be great.--Keithonearth 17:44, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Gaps in Instructions May Impede Beginners
As a total novice in computer programming (which I assume is who we expect to be reading this introduction), I can attest that the directions for installing and running the compiler as well as directing Window's command prompt to open the directory presumes a level of knowledge that probably isn't there for most beginners. I had to go to an outside resource to learn how to navigate the command line to where it needed to go and it wasn't until after that that I realized the NetBeans package I installed did not include the JDK which contains the compiler. I then had to install the JDK separately to even get the compiler and it took a long while before I realized that even though there is a folder for JDK in \Program Files (x86)\, the compiler is actually located in the folder in \Program Files\. This brought me closer to finally displaying "Hello World!", but the command prompt was mentioning something about its access being denied. After much trial, error, and Googling, I learned that Windows 7 security settings are too strict to allow access and you must edit the User's security permissions for the folder before this exercise is even possible.

So in short, there are many little trip-ups along the way that most beginners won't anticipate and that aren't mentioned in the instructions. I think we need to address these in the instructions lest we discourage people from programming. Berserk798 03:06, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Spanish: An Introduction/Pronunciation/Conquista de América

La Conquista de América es la expresión que hace referencia a la exploración, apropiación y colonización de parte del continente americano por parte de algunas naciones europeas, entre las cuales se encuentran España, Portugal, Inglaterra, Francia y Holanda, a partir de la llegada de Colón a América en 1492 y que se mantuvo principalmente durante los siglo XVI, XVII y XVIII, aunque aún continúan algunos enclaves coloniales en el presente.

Dicha acción supuso la invasión del territorio político y cultural de numerosos pueblos indoamericanos, entre los cuales los más conocidos fueron el Imperio Inca, el Imperio Azteca y la Confederación Chibcha, así como cacicazgos, tribus, confederaciones de tribus y otros sistemas de organización política que perdieron su autonomía, vieron sometidos o eliminados sus líderes, diezmada su población y aniquiladas sus culturas, en una acción de sometimiento de alcance continental.

El colapso demográfico padecido por los pueblos originarios a causa de las enfermedades traídas desde Europa, que en algunos casos llegó a exterminar el 97% de la población, desempeñó un papel decisivo en la conquista de América.

Hay que señalar también que la conquista europea fue rechazada en la mayor parte del continente. Varios pueblos originarios resistieron exitosamente las invasiones europeas sobre vastos territorios, y mantuvieron el dominio sobre ellos hasta fines del siglo XIX: la Patagonia, la llanura pampeana, el Mato Grosso, la Región Amazónica y las grandes praderas del oeste norteamericano, permanecieron bajo el dominio de naciones como los Mapuche, Het, Ranquel, Wichi, Qom, Amazónicas, Algonquina, Hopi, Comanche, Inuit etc.

Template:Welcome to Wikiversity/Usage

Usage
Given the value of the Wikibooks community, it is encouraged for seasoned Wikibookians to welcome new users with this template, which lists some useful links and conventions that are often helpful to new users.

Place  on the user's talk page (not the user page itself) and sign it.

There are no rules as to when to welcome new users. Generally, they should have some valid edits (not just their own user- or talk page). At the same time, welcoming users who have been with the project for a while could be taken as a disrespectful hint that they don't understand the project.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mediummessage. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mediummessage~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:43, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Dannyc. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dannyc~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:33, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Superscalar

This material is still under construction. Outline below:

Superscalar Microprocessor
Superscalar processors simply mean that they execute more than one instruction per clock cycle. However, the dataflow in most software programs tends to be serial in nature. Instructions that have a dataflow dependency on each other cannot execute in parallel. For example, the classical IF statement will compile down the sequence shown below in machine assembly language:

IF ( condition ) THEN some code ELSE other code ENDIF

LOAD COMPARE BRANCH.CONDITIONAL

All three instructions must execute serially. The COMPARE depends on the completion of the LOAD instruction. The BRNACH in turn depends on the completion of the COMPARE operation.

Superscalar microprocessors depend heavily on the compiler's ability to re-order the instruction stream at compile time in order to maximize the opportunity for instruction level parallelism.

User:Alex beta~enwikiversity/The origins of philosophy

In all history, nothing is so surprising or difficult to account for as the sudden rise of civilization in Greece. (Bertrand Russell: History of Western Philosophy and its Connection with Political and Social Circumstances from Earliest Times to the Present Day. Second edition, 1961)

Ancient Greece
Our story begins in the sixth century B.C., at the time of a profound change in the heart of Greek society. Traditional wisdom, all the knowledge handed down through generations in the form of myths, was no longer seen as certain and it was subjected to a severe critique. Cosmology, moral values, sociology and theology were all challenged by a diverse range of thinkers, who no longer took what had gone before as certain. The range and extent of these challenges vary, each retaining different portions of the pre-philosophical culture and criticizing others.

The Greeks were a loose collection of city states and territories bound together by a common language and cultural ties. Although many different forms of government existed across Greece, aristocracy was prominent everywhere. The nobles, who would lead the people in times of war, were conceived as the only possessors of virtue. The Greek word for virtue (Αρετή) is often translated as excellence in an attempt to escape some of its connotations in English, many of which were introduced by Christian thought at a later stage. A man was considered especially virtuous if he possessed fame, noble ancestry and success. Failure was punished and considered shameful.

Bertrand Russell argued in his History of Western Philosophy that the greatness of the Greeks came both from their passion and their intellect. "They had a maxim 'nothing too much', but they were in fact excessive in everything--in pure thought, in poetry, in religion, and in sin. It was the combination of passion and intellect that made them great, while they were great. Neither alone would have transformed the world for all future time as they transformed it. Their prototype in mythology is not Olympian Zeus, but Prometheus, who brought fire from heaven and was rewarded with eternal torment.(Bertrand Russell: History of Western Philosophy and its Connection with Political and Social Circumstances from Earliest Times to the Present Day. Second edition, 1961. p. 41)"

Essential Reading

 * Ancient Greece
 * Αρετή
 * The myth of Prometheus in Hesiod's Theogony (507-616). A summary can be found in the Wikipedia entry for Prometheus.

Myth
F. M. Cornford's book From Religion to Philosophy begins with the following lines: "The words, Religion and Philosophy, perhaps suggest to most people two distinct provinces of thought, between which, if (like the Greeks) we include Science under Philosophy, there is commonly held to be some sort of border warfare. It is, however, also possible to think of them as two successive phases or modes, of the expression of man's feelings and beliefs about the world; and the title of this book implies that our attention will be fixed on that period, in the history of the western mind, which marks the passage from the one to the other. It is generally agreed that the decisive step was taken by the Greeks about six centuries before our era. At that moment, a new spirit of rational inquiry asserted its claim to pronounce upon ultimate things which had hitherto been objects of traditional belief. What I wish to prove, however, is that the advent of this spirit did not mean a sudden and complete breach with the older ways of thought. (F. M. Cornford: From Religion to Philosophy. A Study in the Origins of Western Speculation. Princeton University Press, 1991, p. xiii)"

Synchronous circuit design

The unique feature of a synchronous digital circuit is that the circuit only changes in response to a main clock. There may be other clock signals in the design but they have to be "synchronized" to the main clock and any other clock signal must have a known relationship in time to the main clock. A basic example of logic unit that works on this very feature is a flip flop which is triggered on a clock edge.

Electronics/Bipolar Junction Transistors

A bipolar transistor consists of three layers separated by a semi-conductor material. There are two types the NPN and the PNP. Both types perform the same function, however they are different in polarity. A transistor resembles two diodes connected end to end. While you cannot actually make a transistor with two diodes it is a good analogy.

In an NPN transistor, if the base and the emitter are the same voltage it prevents the E-B junction from conducting. It is referred to as Zero Bias and will not let current flow between the emitter and the collector. In order for it to conduct the voltage at the base will have to be greater than that at the emitter. At some point the voltage will be high enough for current to flow from the emitter to the collector. The voltage at which it starts to conduct is called the breakover voltage. When the base voltage(Eв) is positive, it is referred to as forward biased. Likewise if it is negative it is reverse biased. The base voltage is normally reverse biased as long as the voltage is less than the supply voltage. When a transistor is reverse biased, and the voltage reaches such a point that it over comes the reverse bias and the breakover point, an avalanche breakdown occurs. When the collecter current versus(Iс) the base voltage(Eв) curve reaches a point in which it levels off the transistor will then be saturated. The transistor at that point is wide open and conducting at its maximum.

For a PNP transistor is just the opposite. If you substitute positive for negative and negative for positive a PNP will conduct the same as an NPN.

User:Atrytone1650

I just joined Wikiversity in March, 2007. I'm an independent learner and very excited about this wiki project. I would love to live in a world where all human knowledge is easy to find and access for everyone (especially for me, of course). Though I'm not an expert on any subject, I'd like to help out with this project however I can.

My Wikiversity Vision
Wikiversity should show how different areas of knowledge are connected, and especially which basic areas of study will be useful for more specialized or advanced areas. When I first become interested in a topic it is usually because of some deeply exciting "big" question like "How do you build a nuclear reactor?". Certainly not something that can be answered in single article. A lot of background information is needed for the questioner to understand the answer to a question like this. A wikistudent should be able to use wikiversity to identify the feild of knowledge that would answer his or her question, and also be able to see what areas of knowledge will be helpful prerequisites to that feild.

Portal:Spanish/Introduction

 Spanish Language Division

Hello and welcome to the Wikiversity Spanish Language Division, part of the Center for Foreign Language Learning and the School of Language and Literature. This division coordinates and focuses studies on Spanish as a second language and for native speakers. Here you can learn Spanish and explore its cultures, as well as teach others.

Spanish (español), also called Castilian (castellano), is a Romance language that originated in northern Spain and it was taken to Africa, the Americas and Asia Pacific between the 15th and 19th centuries. Today, Spanish is an official language of Spain, most Latin American countries and Equatorial Guinea; 21 nations speak it as their primary language. Spanish also is one of the six official languages of the UN; and 400 million people natively speak it, making it the most spoken Romance language, and the second most-spoken language by native speakers (1st Chinese). Additionally, Spanish is the second most-studied language in the world (1st English).

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Izzat3. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Izzat3~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Section 1
For each page with more than three headings, a table of contents (TOC) is automatically generated from the section headings, unless: When either or  (with two underscores on either side of the word) is placed in the wikitext, a TOC is added even if the page has fewer than four headings.
 * (for a user) preferences are set to turn it off
 * (for an article) the magic word (with two underscores on either side of the word) is added in the edit box

With, the TOC is placed before the first section header. With, it is placed at the same position where this code is placed. This allows any positioning, also e.g. on the right, and in a table cell, and it also allows multiple occurrence, e.g. in every section (demonstrated on m:Help talk:Section; however, this seems only useful if the sections are long, so that the TOCs take up only a small part of the total space.).

Thus there may be some introductory text before the TOC, known as the "lead". Although usually a header after the TOC is preferable, can be used to avoid being forced to insert a meaningless header just to position the TOC correctly, i.e., not too low.

Preferences can be set to number the sections automatically.

In a page calling a template with sections, the sections in the template are numbered according to their position in the rendered page, e.g. if the template tag is in the third section, then the first section of the template is numbered four. Any text in the template before its first section shows up as part of the section with the template tag, and any text after the tag before a new header shows up as part of the last section of the template. This may be done deliberately, but can usually better be avoided (see also below).

Using it's possible to disable the normal Table of Contents. Section links as explained below allow to create compact ToCs, e.g. alphabetical A B etc.

The Table of contents can be forced onto a floating table on the right hand of the screen with the code below
