CPU Main Parts

The CPU has two main parts: the control unit, which manages operations, and the arithmetic/logic unit (ALU), which performs calculations.

Object Access

Objects hide their internal data but provide access through methods.

Java Portability

Compiled Java programs are highly portable because Java byte code is the same on all computers.

Java File Extension

False. Java source files end with the .java extension.

Encapsulation

True. Encapsulation combines data and code into a single object.

Study Notes

  • The central processing unit (CPU) consists of the control unit and the arithmetic/logic unit (ALU).
  • An object typically hides its data but allows outside code access to the methods that operate on the data.
  • Compiled Java programs are highly portable because Java byte code is the same on all computers.
  • Java source files end with the .java extension.
  • Byte code instructions are read and interpreted by the JVM.
  • Encapsulation combines data and code into a single object.
  • Procedural programming is centered on creating procedures, while object-oriented programming is centered on creating objects.
  • There are 8 bits in a byte.
  • A computer program is a set of instructions that allow the computer to solve a problem or perform a task.
  • System.out.println("Hello, world"); prints "Hello, world" on the monitor.
  • Demo.class would contain the translated Java byte code for a program named Demo.
  • A Java program must have at least one class definition.
  • To compile a program named First the command is javac First.java.
  • All it takes for an AND expression to be true is for one of the subexpressions to be true.
  • The if statement creates a decision structure which allows a program to have more than one path of execution.
  • A flag is a boolean variable that signals when some condition exists in the program.
  • String.format method works exactly like the System.out.printf method, except that it does not display the formatted string on the screen.
  • The switch expression in the following statement is written correctly: message = switch(statusCode){ case 200 -> statusType = "OK"; default -> statusType = "Unknown"; };
  • The boolean expression in an if statement must evaluate to true or false.
  • When testing for character values, the switch statement does not test for the case of the character.
  • A sentinel is a value that signals when the end of a list of values has been reached.
  • A loop that repeats a specific number of times is known as a count-controlled loop.
  • The do-while loop must be terminated with a semicolon.
  • Values stored in local variables are lost between calls to the method in which they are declared.
  • To document the return value of a method you can use a @return tag.
  • Any method that calls a method with a throws clause in its header must either handle the potential exception or have the same throws clause.
  • When an argument value is passed to a method, the receiving parameter variable is declared in the method header inside the parentheses.
  • When an object, such as a String, is passed as an argument it is actually a reference to the object that is passed.
  • A value-returning method can return a reference to a non-primitive type.
