Features: This book is the base version of JavaHowtoProgram, Sixth Edition, also known as the Java University Tutorial (Sixth Edition), targeting the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0. It provides a detailed introduction to object-oriented programming using the Java language. The book comprehensively covers the fundamentals of the Java language, including input/output, primitive types, operators, control statements, and methods/arrays. Compared to JavaHowtoProgram, Sixth Edition, it introduces the concepts of classes, objects, and object-oriented programming earlier, such as inheritance, polymorphism, and interfaces. Additionally, it describes many new features and characteristics of the Java language specific to J2SE 5.0, such as formatted output (printf), the Scanner class, the Enum class, and variable-length argument lists. The book also introduces the Unified Modeling Language (UML 2.0) to help readers build a solid foundation in object-oriented design. Through multiple in-depth case studies, the book enables readers to quickly master object-oriented programming techniques. Finally, the appendix introduces how to use useful tools such as debuggers and the Java API documentation. This book can be used as a textbook for Java programming in higher education institutions or as a reference for software designers engaged in Java program development.
