Study Notes
Java Programming Concepts
- Automatic type promotion occurs when an integer is passed to a method that expects a double parameter, promoting the integer to a double type.
- Memory is allocated for each instance field of an object when instantiated from a class.
- Class variables are shared among all instances of the class, providing a common value.
- Multiplying an integer with a double does not result in an integer; the statement claiming this is false.
- The import statement is essential for using classes and methods from external packages in a program.
- Method overloading allows the same method name to be utilized with different argument lists for flexibility in method execution.
- Constructor arguments can initialize field values and serve other purposes in the class.
- Static fields that need to remain unchanging across instances should also be declared final.
- If a local method variable shares the same name as an instance variable, the instance variable takes precedence; the statement claiming otherwise is false.
Variable Terminology
- A variable comes into existence, or enters scope, when declared within its block.
- Composition is a relationship where an object of one class serves as a data field within another class.
- The method signature comprises the name and parameters of the method, guiding the compiler in method resolution.
- If a constructor requires an argument, all objects of that class must be provided with that argument when instantiated.
Java Package and Data Types
- The java.lang package is automatically imported in Java programs, making its classes available by default.
- The Math class methods and constants can be used without creating an instance since they are static.
- Static fields in a class are not restricted to being final; they can be modified.
- Importing an entire package allows access to its classes, serving as an alternative to importing individually.
Variable Rules and Data Handling
- A variable cannot be declared with the same name more than once within the same block; this is considered illegal.
- Each variable can hold a single value at a time, contrary to some misconceptions.
- The char data type is specifically used to represent a single character.
- The int data type is the most commonly used for integer representation in Java.
Expression Evaluation and Constants
- The unifying type is the type all operands in an expression get converted to make them compatible.
- In expression evaluations, multiplication, division, and remainder operations take precedence over addition and subtraction, making related claims false.
- A constant value remains unchanged throughout the program's execution.
- Each primitive data type in Java has a corresponding type-wrapper class, housed in the java.lang package.
