Java Program To Find Area Of Triangle

Java Program to Calculate Area of Triangle

In this java tutorial, We are going to learn java program to find area of triangle with 3 different-different ways with simple examples.

There are many method to calculate area of triangle in java programs but here we will see only 3 useful method step-by-step with quite easy examples.

Let's see java program for area of triangle.

1) Area of Triangle in Java with Example 1

This is the first area of triangle program in java where we will calculate the area of triangle by using area of a triangle formula.

Area of triangle formula is = base * height/2


Let's know the area of triangle through java program by using above formula.


class Demo1
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
double base, height, area;

base = 20.7;//suppose base of triangle is 20.7
height = 15.3;//suppose height of triangle is 15.3

area = base * height/2;
System.out.println("Area of Triangle is : "+area);
}
}

Output: Area of Triangle is : 158.355

Let's take another simple program to find area of triangle in java where we will use Scanner class to take input to the user from the keyboard.

2) Area of Triangle in Java with Example 2

This is simple java program to get the area of triangle where we will take the value of base width and height of triangle from the user.

import java.util.Scanner;

class Demo2

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

//create scanner class object

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter the base of triangle");

double b = sc.nextDouble();

System.out.println("Enter the height of triangle");

double h = sc.nextDouble();

double area = b * h/2;
System.out.println("Area of triangle is : "+area);
}
}

Output: Enter the base of triangle
             48.6
             Enter the height of triangle
             50.2
             Area of triangle is : 1219.8600000000001

Now we are going to take final example of our area of triangle java program.

3) Area of Triangle in Java with Example 3 

This is simple java program to find area of triangle using constructor and scanner class.

import java.util.Scanner;

class AreaOfTriangle

{

double area;

AreaOfTriangle(double base, double height)//Constructor declaration

{

area = base * height/2;

System.out.println("Area of Triangle is : "+area);

}

}

class Test

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

//creating Scanner class

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter base of triangle");

double base = sc.nextDouble();

System.out.println("Enter height of triangle");

double height = sc.nextDouble();

//creating object of AreaOfTriangle class

AreaOfTriangle a = new AreaOfTriangle(base, height);

}

}

Output: Enter base of triangle
             5
             Enter height of triangle
             6
             Area of triangle is : 15.0

How To Use Scanner Class In Java

Scanner Class in Java

In this article, We will see how to use scanner class in java with the help of some basic and easy java programs.

Java scanner class is a predefined class Which is used for reading the input or data from the keyboard given by the user.

Scanner class is a final class in java and it extends Object class and implements Closeable, AutoCloseable, and Iterator interfaces. 

For example

public final class Scanner
extends Object
implements Iterator<String>, Closeable

Java scanner class is used for obtaining the input of primitive data types e.g int, double, etc. and String type.

How to Import Scanner Class

Scanner class is predefined class which is available in java.util.* package.

If you want to use Scanner class in your java programs you have to import Scanner class in your programs.

java.util.Scanner;

Java Scanner Class Constructors

There are lots of constructors of scanner class but some of them are given below.

1) Scanner(java.io.File source)

Constructs a new scanner that produces values scanned from the specified path.

2) Scanner(java.io.InputStream source)

Constructs a new scanner that produces values scanned from the specified input stream.

3) Scanner(java.lang.readable source)

Constructs a new scanner that produces values scanned from the specified source.

4) Scanner(java.lang.String source)

Constructs a new scanner that produces values scanned from the specified string.

Methods of Scanner Class in Java

There are many methods defined in the Scanner class and by the help of scanner class method we can read the the input from the console or keyboard easily. Some Scanner class methods are given below.

1) public byte nextByte()

This method is used to read the data as byte value.

2) public short nextShort()

This method is used to read the data as short value.

3) public int nextInt()

This method is used to read the data as integer value.

4) public long nextLong()

This method is used to read the data as long value.

5) public float nextFloat()

This method is used to read the data as float value.

6) public double nextDouble()

This method is used to read the data as double value.

7) public char nextChar()

This method is used to read the data as character value.

8) public boolean nextBoolean()

This method is used to read the data as boolean value i.e true/false

9) public String nextLine()

This method reads any kind of data in the form of String.

10) public String next()

Declaration of Scanner Class in Java

Before going to learn examples of Scanner class see the declaration of Scanner class.

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

Explanation:

Scanner(System.in) = This constructor creates an object of Scanner class with the object of InputStream class.

in = This is object of an InptutStream class.

System = System is a class and object 'in' is declared in System class as static data member.

System.in = Helps to read the input data from the console.

Let's see some Scanner class examples in java.

1) Scanner Class in Java Example

This is simple scanner class in java example where we will get input of int, double, types.

import java.util.Scanner;

class Demo1

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter your Age");

int age = sc.nextInt();

System.out.println("Your age is : "+age);

System.out.println("Enter your Marks");

double db = sc.nextDouble();

System.out.println("Your marks is : "+db);

}

}

Output: Enter your Age
             50
             Your age is : 50
             Enter your Marks
             65
             Your marks is : 65.0

2) Java Scanner Example With String

This is simple java scanner string example where we will learn how to take string input in java using scanner class.

import java.util.*;

class Demo2

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("What is your first name");

String firstname = sc.next();

System.out.println("What is your last name");

String secondname = sc.next();

System.out.println("Your full name is : "+firstname+" "+secondname);

}

}

Output: What is your first name
              Anurag
              What is your last name
              Singh
              Your full name is : Anurag Singh

What is Functional Interface in Java 8

Functional Interface in Java 8

In this java 8 tutorial, We are going to learn new feature of java 8 which is functional interface.

There are so many new features are introduced in java 8 e.g default and static method, new date and time API, Lambda Expressions etc. functional interface is one of them.

Let's start with the definition of functional interface.

What is Functional Interface in Java 8?

Functional interface is a interface which contains only one abstract method. We can call functional interface as Single Abstract Method Interface(SAM).

We can declare any number of default and static methods in java functional interface. 

We can also declare methods of Object class in Functional Interfaces.

By using functional interfaces in java 8 we can achieve functional programming. 

There are many predefined Functional Interfaces in java 8 which is provided by java and we can create own functional interface in java.

Functional interface provides target type for lambda expressions and method references.

Predefined Functional Interfaces in Java 8

There are many predefined functional interfaces in java which are available in java.util.function package. Some of them are given below...

1) BiConsumer<T, U>

It represents an operations that accepts two input arguments and returns no result.

2) BiFunction<T, U, R>

It represents a function that accepts two arguments and produce a result.

3) BinaryOperator<T>

It represents an operation upon two operands of the same type, producing a result of the same type as the operands.

4) BiPredicate<T, U>

It represents a predicate(boolean - value function) of two arguments.

5) BooleanSupplier

It represents supplier of boolean-valued result.

6) Consumer<T>

It represents an operations that accepts a single input argument and returns no result.

7) DoubleBinaryOperator

It represents an operations upon two double valued operands and producing double valued results.

8) DoubleFunction<R> 

It represents a function that accepts a double valued arguments and produces result.

9) ToDoubleBiFunction<T, U>

It represents a function that accepts two arguments and produces a double valued result.

10) ToIntBiFunction<T, U>

It represents a function that accepts two arguments and produces an int valued result.

Let's take a look some examples of Functional Interface.

Java 8 Functional Interface Example

This is simple functional interface example in java 8 new feature.

@FunctionalInterface//It is optional

interface Dog

{

void run(String s);//Single abstract method

}

class Test implements Dog

{

public void run(String s)

{

System.out.println(s);

}

public static void main(String args[])

{
Test t =new Test();

t.run("run fast");

}

}

Output: run fast

Predefined Functional Interface Example

This is simple example of predefined functional interface and here we will use lambda expressions.

import java.util.function.IntBinaryOperator;

class PredefinedExample

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

//using  java 8 lambda expressions

IntBinaryOperator add = (x, y) -> x + y;

System.out.println(add.applyAsInt(9, 91));

}

}

Output: 100

Object Class Method in Functional Interface

We can declare only one abstract method in functional interface. We can also declare Object class method in Functional Interface.

@FunctionalInterface

interface Dog

{

void run(String s);//abstract method

String toString();//method of Object class

boolean equals(Obj o);//method of Object class

}

In this functional interface tutorial of java 8, we have learned what is a functional interface in java with simple examples e.g with lambda expressions and without lambda expressions.

Alphabet Pattern Programs in Java

Java Alphabet Pattern Programs

In the last article, We saw some most useful and different-different pattern programs in java like number pattern programs in java, star pattern programs in java but here we are going to discuss some basic and useful alphabet pattern programs in java with simple examples one by one.

Here we are creating alphabet pattern programs in java which is mostly asked for fresher and experienced in core java interviews.

Let 's start with alphabet pattern in java.

Alphabet Pattern 1 :

This example will show you characters from a to z in java.

class AtoZ
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
for(char ch = 'a'; ch <= 'z'; ch++)
{
System.out.println(ch);
}
}
}

Output: a
             b
             c
             d
             e
             f
             .
             .
             z

The above example will print characters from a to z.


Alphabet Pattern 2 :

A
AB
ABCe
ABCD
ABCDE

Solution :

class Demo1
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
for(int i = 1; i <6; i++)//for printing 5 rows
{
int alphabet = 65;//creating local variable with ASCII value of A i.e 65
for(int j = 1; j <= i; j++)
{
System.out.print((char)alphabet);//casted int value to char to get alphabet
alphabet++;
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}

Alphabet Pattern 3 :

A
BC
DEF
GHIJ
KLMNO
PQRSTU

Solution :

class Demo2
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int alphabet = 65;//ASCII value of 'A'
for(int i = 1; i <7; i++)
{
for(int j = 1; j <= i; j++)
{
System.out.print((char)alphabet);
alphabet++;
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}

Alphabet Pattern 4 :

A
BB
CCC
DDDD
EEEEE

Solution :

class Demo4
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int alphabet = 65;
for(int i = 1; i < 6; i++)
{
for(int j = 1; j <= i; j++)
{
System.out.print((char)alphabet);
}
System.out.println();
alphabet++;
}
}
}

Alphabet pattern programs can be created by using for loop, while loop.

Alphabet Pattern 5 :

A
BA
CBA
DCBA

Solution :

class Demo4
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
for(int i = 0; i <5; i++)
{
for(int j = 0, k = i; j <= i; j++, --k)
System.out.print((char)('A' + k));
System.out.print("\n");
}
}
}

Alphabet Pattern 6 :

                              A
                            ABA
                          ABCBA
                        ABCDCBA
                      ABCDEDCBA

Solution :

class Demo5
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
char c;
for(int i = 1; i <= 5; ++i)
{
c = 'A';
for(int j = i; j <5; ++j)
{
System.out.print(" ");
}
for(int k = 1; k <=i; ++k)
{
System.out.print(c);
++c;
}
c -= 2;
for(int l = 1; l <i; ++l)
{
System.out.print(c);
--c;
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
