Study Notes
Repetition Statements
- A loop structure repeatedly executes a block of code "as long as" a tested expression is true.
- If a loop's tested Boolean expression is true, a block of statements called the loop body executes. This occurs before the Boolean Expression is evaluated again.
Arrays
- An array is a container object holding a fixed number of values of the same type.
- Array length is set when the array is created.
- Each array item (element) is accessed by a numerical index.
- Arrays are declared using
[ ]
after the data type. - Array instantiation uses the
new
keyword and specifies the array's dimensions. - Array initialization assigns values to the elements. This can be done during instantiation or by assigning values by their indices.
- Looping through arrays can use the
for
loop or the for-each loop.
Two-Dimensional Arrays
- A multidimensional array holds one or more arrays.
- Creating a two-dimensional array involves placing each array within its curly braces.
- Accessing elements in a two-dimensional array requires specifying two indices: one for the array and one for the element within that array.
- Looping through a two-dimensional array requires nested
for
loops, one for each dimension.
ArrayList
ArrayList
is a dynamic array, meaning it can grow as needed.- It is easier to manipulate than a traditional array (e.g., removing elements).
- It can only hold objects, not primitive data types.
- The
java.util
package contains theArrayList
class. - There are several constructors for
ArrayList
to create an empty list, initialize it with a collection or set an initial capacity. - Common methods for
ArrayList
include:add(Object o)
: Adds an element to the end of the list.remove(int index)
: Removes an element at a specific index.set(int index, Object o)
: Replaces the element at a specific index with another element.contains(Object o)
: Checks if the list contains a specific element.indexOf(Object o)
: Returns the index of the first occurrence of a specific element.get(int index)
: Retrieves the element at a specific index.clear()
: Removes all elements from the list.size()
: Returns the number of elements in the list.
ArrayList vs. Array
- Arrays have a fixed size, while
ArrayList
can grow dynamically. ArrayList
offers more functionalities than arrays, like removing elements, easily finding elements, resizing, etc.
Using ArrayList
- Importing the
ArrayList
class is needed for using it. - Creating an
ArrayList
is done using the syntax:ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
- Adding elements to an
ArrayList
is done using theadd()
method. - Retrieving an element from an
ArrayList
is done using theget(index)
method. - Modifying an existing element in an
ArrayList
is done using theset(index, value)
method. - Determining the size of an
ArrayList
is done using thesize()
method. - Looping through elements in an
ArrayList
can be done with a for loop, a for-each loop, or an iterator (not discussed in the text).
