Study Notes
Working with ArrayLists
- ArrayList Creation: Initialize an ArrayList with
ArrayList cars = new ArrayList(); - Element Addition: Use
cars.add(element)to add elements like "Corolla", "Camry", "Prius", etc. - Element Availability Check: Use an enhanced for loop to determine if a specific element (e.g., "Prius") is available and update a string accordingly.
- Printing Elements: Print the status of availability using
System.out.println(Prius);.
Finding Minimum and Maximum Values
- Finding Minimum: Set initial
minto the first element of the grades ArrayList. Loop through elements and updateminif a smaller value is found. - Finding Maximum: Similar to minimum, initialize
maxand check for larger values during iteration. - Enhanced for Loop: Utilizes a simpler syntax for iterating through collections.
Reversing ArrayList Elements
- Element Access: Use regular for loops in reverse order to add elements back into the ArrayList.
- Element Removal: Remove original elements from the ArrayList to keep only the reversed elements.
- Index Management: Important to use
remove(0)to continuously access the first element without skipping any.
Array Basics
- Declaration: Declare an array with a name followed by
newand defined data type (e.g.,String[] names = new String[5];). - Default Values: New arrays automatically initialize to default values (null for strings, 0 for integers).
- Array Indices: Start at 0; trying to access out-of-bounds results in
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Perfect Size Arrays
- Definition: A perfect size array has a number of elements equal to the allocated memory.
- Usage: Ideal for fixed data, such as days of the week where the size won’t change.
- Array Method Parameters: Pass by reference, indicating the location in memory rather than the contents.
Modifying and Accessing Arrays
- Element Modification: Access array elements using their index to assign new values.
- 2D Arrays: Defined with two sets of brackets (e.g.,
String[][] names = new String[rows][columns];). - Accessing in 2D Arrays: Use two indices to access and manipulate element positions within the array.
Array Method Calls
- Method Functionality: Methods define behaviors for objects, including how to manipulate variables or perform actions.
- Control Flow: Method calls interrupt sequence, executing all statements in the method before resuming.
Turtle Class Example
- Method Examples: Methods like
forward(),backward(),right(), andleft()control the movement of a Turtle object. - Understanding Methods: Programmers can utilize methods without understanding their implementation, focusing on input-output behavior instead.
