Study Notes

Java Class Quiz Set Overview

A collection of flashcards covering Java programming concepts through multiple-choice questions.
Each flashcard presents a question with possible answers to assess understanding of Java classes and features.

Key Java Concepts from Flashcards

CS520 Class Example
- Correct answer: Compiles and prints out 20.
- Demonstrates instantiation and access of a private instance variable.
Employee Class
- Correct statement: Instance of Employee can access and modify its public variables and methods.
- Indicates proper usage of constructors in Java.
toString() Method
- If not overridden, printing an object will run fine; defaults to Object's toString().
Object References
- In a shared reference scenario, modifying one object impacts the other (e.g., r1 and r2).
Variable Scope
- Instance variable (i) cannot be accessed within static context without creating an instance.
Accessor and Mutator Methods
- Customary naming conventions: Accessors with "get" prefix, mutators with "set".
Programming Paradigms
- Object-oriented programming uses objects to represent real-world entities.
- Imperative programming emphasizes function calls and procedure sequences.

Instance Methods and Variables

Methods can return types and modify instance variables. Example given for isSpeeding in a Car class.
Instance variables maintain state; local variables are confined to specific method execution.

Error Handling and Exceptions

Exceptions must be accounted for, especially when handling files or user inputs.
Runtime exceptions are unchecked and do not need explicit handling.
Checked exceptions must be either caught or declared in the method signature.

String Handling

Strings are immutable; operations create new instances.
Common string methods: toLowerCase(), replace(), trim() are significant for manipulation.

Array and Color Handling

Use of array indexing to manipulate data within arrays.
Graphics color rendering requires methods to update the display properly.

ActionListener Interface

Essential for event handling in GUI; requires implementing the method actionPerformed().

Summary

Understanding of class structures, variable scopes, methods, error handling, and string manipulations is crucial in Java.
Practicing these concepts through multiple-choice questions reinforces learning and application of Java principles.### Array Access and Basics
Access the 5th element in an array by using colors[4], as array indexing starts from 0.
An ArrayIndexOutOfBounds error is a logic error that occurs when attempting to access an invalid index in an array.
To place an element in an ArrayList at a new position, use the add() method.

Utilizing Java Libraries

To use the Java class ArrayList, import the package java.util.

Event Handling in Java

In event-driven programming, a button must have a registered listener to handle user clicks, known as an event.
A button fires action events when interacted with by the user.

ArrayList Characteristics

Upon declaration, an ArrayList's initial size is 0, and its capacity is usually 10 in Java.
Attempting to access an element in an empty ArrayList with myList.get() results in a runtime exception.
Initialize elements of an array in Java using the syntax: double[] myDoubles = {0.0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5};.

Multi-dimensional Arrays

Accessing elements in a two-dimensional array, such as int[][] values = {{1}, {2,3}, {4,5,6}}, involves using row and column indices.
The expression values + values works based on the computed sum of elements, which is 9 in this case (sum of 3 and 6).

Looping and Iteration

Use a for loop with the correct syntax to iterate through array elements: for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {...}.
An iterator for an ArrayList starts at an initial position without any elements, and calling it.next() would cause a runtime exception if no elements are present.

Graphics in Java

To draw a circle, utilize g.drawOval(x, y, width, height) since there is no direct method for drawCircle.
Understand dimensions in graphics functions, as the radius is related to width and height for oval shapes.

Common Errors and Exceptions

An uninitialized array or ArrayList can lead to exceptions when methods like length or get() are called.
Always ensure initial values are assigned to arrays to avoid compilation errors.

Summary of Key Concepts

Recognize the distinction between arrays and ArrayLists in Java, especially regarding their declarations and methods.
Event listeners are crucial for interactive components in Java applications.
