    Study Notes

    Intermediate Programming - Arrays

    • Arrays are fundamental data structures in Java, storing collections of elements of the same type.
    • Elements are items stored in an array.
    • Indexes are numerical locations of elements, starting from 0.
    • Declaration involves specifying the element type, array name, and size.
      • Example: int[] student = new int[100]; (allocates memory)
      • Example: int[] array = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; (initializes and allocates)
    • Accessing elements: Use their indices.
      • Example: int x = array[2]; (assigns value at index 2 to x)
    • Enhanced for loop (each-loop) iterates through arrays/collections more simply.
    • Multidimensional arrays are 2D arrays (like matrices).
      • Example: int[][] matrix = new int[rowSize][colSize];
    • Arrays provide efficient storage and retrieval of elements.

    Intermediate Programming - Java Exceptions

    • Java Exceptions are errors handled during runtime (throw/exception/error).
    • Java uses try-catch blocks to handle potential errors.
      • try: A block of code that may cause errors.
      • catch: A block executed if an error occurs within the try block.
    • Compile-time exceptions (checked): Errors like IOException (input/output error) and FileNotFoundException (file not found) need to be handled.
    • Runtime exceptions (unchecked): Errors like NullPointerException (trying to use a null object) and ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException (invalid array index).
    • Other common exceptions include StringIndexOutOfBoundsException (invalid string index) and NumberFormatException (invalid numeric conversion).
    • Exceptions can be thrown to handle various issues like invalid data or resource problems.

    Intermediate Programming - Java Functions/Methods

    • Functions (methods) are fundamental to Java's structure, enabling modular, reusable code.
    • Methods can have parameters (input values) for greater flexibility.
    • Methods can return values (results) to the caller; void methods don't return any value.
    • Functions with no parameters, but return values - provide useful results independent of data input.
    • Functions with parameters; no return values - used for tasks independent of returned data.
    • Functions with parameters and return values provide methods that use input data and return a useful calculation.
    • Functions are defined within a class and use a return type, name, and parameters.
    • Calling functions: Using their names, providing the required data.

    Intermediate Programming - Java Built-in Functions

    • Arrays.toString() and Arrays.deepToString() convert arrays into readable strings, useful for debugging.
    • Arrays.sort() sorts elements in ascending order.
    • Arrays.parallelSort() uses multiple threads to sort larger arrays.
    • Arrays.binarySearch() searches for a key in a sorted array and returns the index (or a negative value if not found).
    • Arrays.equals() and Arrays.deepEquals() check if one-dimensional or multi-dimensional arrays are equal, respectively. Copying arrays:
      • Arrays.copyOf(), Arrays.copyOfRange() - for creating copies of arrays with modifications and ranges.
    • Filling arrays: Arrays.fill() to fill an entire array with a given value.
    • Hashing arrays: Arrays.hashCode() to generate a hash code for arrays.
    • Using streams (Arrays.stream()) for functional programming with arrays.
    • Array length (using array.length)
    • Reflection-Based Utilities (for accessing array elements and length dynamically).
