There is no pattern, can be all over the place

(True/False) The following could appear in an interface: public void f(int x);

True- prototype

Under what circumstances will the finally block run?

Under what circumstances will the finally block run?

Under what circumstances will the finally block run?

Whenever the try block is entered

Side effects

While expression is executed, something changes (ex: assignment, printing to console)

linked list

a collection of nodes arranged so that each node contains a link to the next node in the sequence

(Select all that apply.) >>A return statement is executed during the try block. >>The try block runs without any exceptions being thrown. >>An exception is thrown during the try block, and caught by one of the catch blocks below it. >>An exception is thrown during the try block, but is not caught in any of the associated catch blocks.

all

x=x+1 x++ ++x

all have the same side effect, but carry different values

2d rectangular

all rows are the same

Exceptions are thrown by

code you've written, code another person has written, that you are using, and by the JVM itself

What is "concatenation"? What operator do you use to concatenate Strings?

combine strings together + operator

What is the name of the Java interface that includes the compareTo method?

comparable

objects and call stack

does not hold the object, holds the memory address of where object is located

Strings being immutable is good because

doesn't create problems with aliasing.

printing ragged array

for (int row = 0; row < name.length; row++) { for (int col = 0; col < name[row].length; col++) { System.out.println(name[row][col] + " "); } System.out.println(i); }

If there is a tie

goes from left to right other than assignment

JUnit pros

you can write tests quickly

Pros of formal verification

you know for sure the code works

Exceptions are Objects, so

you must instantiate it before throwing it

Static methods

• method connected to the class, not an object • ex: Math.random • You do not declare a variable of Math type to get to the random method

$_hello55 While

Will this work? public void foo(int x, long y) public void foo(long x, int y)

- if you pass two ints, java will not do the method call -if you pass in an int and a long, it will compile and it will run

Sets

- usually do not allow duplications -you add things to the set -you can only ask if something is in the set or not -no "last item" in the list -very fast

JUnit

-A unit testing framework for the Java programming language -make lots of short simple tests -tests run randomly -all tests will run even if one fails -if assertion fails test is aborted

Extends vs Implements What is similar?

-Both allow polymorphism -both allow final static constants -both allow static method implementation -both allow inheritance of public instance methods

Examples of higher level languages that WERE designed for object oriented programming

-C++ -Java

Big O of inserting at front of linked list

-Create node -assign the node to next item in the list -make head point to 1st node does not matter what size is, always 3 steps O(1)- constant

Examples of higher level languages that were NOT designed for object oriented programming

-Fortran -Cobol -C

What is an example of hardware?

-Monitor -keyboard -RAM -CPU

MyDouble wrapped a primitive double- could you do normal +, -, *, /?

-No, you cannot because it wrapped a double - These operations work with primitives but not MyDouble

What does the operating system do fo you...

-Process management -Memory management -Primitive I/O -Windowing -Primitive network control -Security management

Why do we have wrapper classes around primitives?

-These allow you to collect large quantities of data -all are immutable

What happens if an exception is thrown but not caught anywhere in your program?

-When an exception is thrown, Java looks for an appropriate catch block in the place where the problem occurred. -If a catch is not found there, then Java discards the current frame on the call stack, and looks for an appropriate catch block in the previous frame. -If none is found, that frame is discarded, etc. -If the exception is not caught anywhere, then the program terminates, and the exception propagates to the "out\ side world", which for us is the Eclipse IDE. Eclipse displays that red and blue error notification with stack trace in the console.

FancyWord class- There was one private String object that is wrapped by FancyWord What can you now do?

-You now can only use the methods within the fancy word class -FancyWord "wraps" the String -You can no longer use charAt( ), substring( ), or any other String methods -You cannot act on FancyWord like you act on a String anymore

wrapper class

-a class that has a single principle instance variable that is private -other public methods that allow the user to interact

Name different operating systems

-apple macOS -apple IOS -Microsoft Windows -Linux -Android

Java Collections Framework

-built in -most collections live in java.util -always contains references -rely on equals methods being implemented correctly

Limitations of for each loop

-cant loop through a part of the list -no index numbers -you cannot assign anything to the variable (think benji/spot example) -you cannot add or remove elements from the current list during the loop

To copy an array:

-create a new array (of the same length as the original, a.length) -use a loop to assign every value in array a to array b (b[i] = a[i] >> make sure the copy array is one left of the assignment operator and the original array is on the right side of the assignment operator)

Big O of accessing ith element in an array

-each box in an array is 4 bytes -java knows memory address at the beginning -a[n]= beginning memory address + 4 bytes * n -The same amount of arithmetic is done for each O(1)

If one person has a linear algorithm and someone else has a logarithmic algorithm which will run faster?

-eventually the lines will cross -in small values of n, straight line does better compared to the log curve -in larger values, log is faster than straight line

Changing an element in a deep copy

-extra bc hat class is immutable -wastes time and memory -for Ahat class, this is preferred bc you could access a[0].resize and change the hat that is aliased

Changing an element in a shallow copy(draw)

-has no effect on the original array of hats -okay because hat class is immutable, if mutable deep copy would need to be made -in AHat class >> you could access a[0] and resize any element and because they refer to the same element both would change

trees

-has one special element called a root that has children -these children can have children of their own -algorithms tend to involve starting at the top and walking to the bottom

Interface

-holds abstract method declarations -has a list of behaviors that objects know how to do -kind of like a category

break with switch statements

-if break isn't in the block, to will drop down to the next case -if you have the same outcome for multiple cases, don't put break ex: switch (digit){ case 0: case 4: case 5: case 9: mysteryValue=4; break;

keyword implements ex: public class Bird implements FlyingThing

-if it implements an interface, it has to know how to do everything listed in the interface -They have to know how to fly, takeOff, and land or else the code will not compile

Autounboxing

-if java needs an int and it needs an Integer object automatically does: int y= x.intValue( ); ex: Integer a; int z = a;

Autoboxing

-if java needs an integer object and it needs a primitive and wraps it automatically does: Integer x= Integer.valueOf(5); ex: Integer a; a=6;

what factors do we consider when choosing

-industry standard -ease of coding -efficiency -> runtime -> memory

What is are examples of software?

-internet browser -word processors -spreadsheet programs -operating system

graphs

-no special root -some vertices are connected to others by edges -Think of facebook -no special root

Draw Diagram: int[]a = new int[5]; int[]b = a; does this copy the array?

-no, makes them aliases

Big O of accessing ith element in a linked list

-nodes are not contiguously stored -you have to go node by node -have to traverse through the list O(n)

What cannot go in interface?

-nothing private -no instance variables- no state bc its not going to be an object -no constructor -no static variables that are not final

What can be in an interface?

-prototypes of public instance methods -public final static variables(have an assignment) -public static method implementations -public default instance methods

double x = 7.9; double y = x; String q = new String("Cat"); String r = q; String s = new String("Cat"); What is actually stored in the variable "q" in the previous question? Given the code fragment above, is it correct to say that "q is a String object"? Is it correct to say that "q refers to a String object"? Is it correct to say that "x is a double"? Is it correct to say that "x refers to a double"? How many String objects are actually created (instantiated) in the code fragment above?

-q holds the memory location corresponding to the place where the String "cat" is in RAM -You should NOT say "q is a String". You SHOULD say "q refers to a String". It is correct to say "x is a double", but you should NOT say "x refers to a double", since x is not a reference variable. -2 (new keyword)

Integer x= Integer.valueOf(5);

-static method in Integer class that wraps primitive into Integer object -there will only be one 5 on the heap, it is recycled

This definition pertains to the first three questions: Assume there is a class called IntegerMath that contains a static method called getSqrt with the prototype below. Normally this method returns the positive square root of the parameter, x, however: if x is negative, it throws an ArithmeticException. If the square root of x is not an integer, then it throws an IllegalArgumentException. In other words, if the argument is 16, it returns 4. But if the argument is 15, it throws the IllegalArgumentException, because the square root of 15 is not an integer. public static int getSqrt(int x) What is the output of the program below? (The output will all be on one line. Do not type spaces in your answer.) public static int calculate(int y) { int answer = 9; try { answer = IntegerMath.getSqrt(y + 3); } catch(ArithmeticException e) { System.out.print("A"); } finally { System.out.print("B"); } System.out.print("C"); return answer; } public static void main(String[] args) { try { int result = calculate(-5); System.out.print(result); } catch(ArithmeticException e) { System.out.print("D"); } catch(IllegalArgumentException e { System.out.print("E"); } System.out.print("F"); }

Where can you use a "break" statement?

Either in a switch statement or in a loop.

Linear data type

Elements are listed in a row or a sequence (does not have to be sorted) - an array is an example of this

Explain why it is important to limit the number of public members.

Encapsulation of the fields (instance variables) of a class is very important. We frequently need to make changes to a class. If these changes do not modify the class API, then the modified class will work perfectly well within an existing project. However, if you modify the class in such a way that the API is changed, then you will have to re-program other components of the project so that they will work with the new class. By limiting the API we are free to make more extensive changes to the class without having to re-program other parts of the project.

Explain what is happening here and a faster way to do this. Integer a, b, x; x= Integer.valueOf(a.intValue( ) + b.intValue( ));

Explain: a and b are converted to primitive ints and added, and then wrapped into an integer object and assigned to x Faster: x= a + b; Integers are unboxed and added, and then boxed to be assigned to variable x

Explain what is happening here and a faster way to do this. Integer a, b, x; if (a. compareTo(b) < 0)

Explain: compareTo is part of the Integer class so this will work Faster: if(a<b) a and b are unboxed and compared when java sees the less than symbol

(True/False) The following method always prints "YES", as long as the arguments are positive values: public static void foo(double a, double b) { if (a + b - a == b) { System.out.println("YES"); } }

FALSE

TRUE/FALSE: Inserting unnecessary spaces and/or blank lines could cause your Java program to malfunction.

FALSE

(True/False) If a run-time error occurs during a particular JUnit test then the rest of the tests will still be attempted.

False

(True/False) The following code fragment will compile: int y = 5; if (y < 10) { int x = 17; } System.out.println(x);

False

(True/False). JUnit tests are always executed in the order in which they appear in the test suite.

False

(True/False). Suppose a single JUnit test contains multiple assertions. If the first assertion fails, JUnit will continue running the test to see whether the subsequent assertions in the test will pass or fail.

False

True/False --Aliasing can lead to problems if the object is immutable.

False

True/False: An instance variable can be declared as "static".

False

True/False: In order to run a static method, you must run it for a particular object (the current object).

False

(True/False) The following could appear in an interface: public void h(int b) { System.out.println(b); }

False- not a default instance method

True/False) The following could appear in an interface: public static int x;

False- not final

Consider the assignment statement: x = y; If the variables are of type "int", does the integer get copied? If the variables are of type "String", does the String get copied?

For primitive types (like int), the data is copied. For reference variables (like a String reference), the memory locations are copied, NOT the objects themselves.

It is impossible to know without seeing the code for the method foo

Describe how a continue statement works in a for-loop.

It will execute the statement that is usually processed at the end of an iteration through the loop, and then check the boolean condition to see if looping should continue.

We want to write a method called "checkAddition" that accepts as parameters two double values, x and y, and a third value, total. The method should return true if total is the sum of x and y, and false otherwise. Consider this potential implementation: public static boolean checkAddition(double x, double y, double total) { return x + y == total; } Assume that the arguments to the method will always be values in the range from 0 to 1000, and that the arguments, when written in base-10 notation, will never have more than 5 digits after the decimal point. Will this implementation return the correct value under these assumptions?

It will sometimes produce the correct result and sometimes not- only if it is able to be represented in base 2

Let's say an Exception is thrown at H (which is called by previous methods: G, F, Main)

Java will look for an Exception Handler in H. If there's no exception in H it will Pop the H Method off the stack, making sure no code within H is executed Java will then look for an Exception Handler in G. If there's no exception in G it will Pop the G Method off the stack, making sure no code within G is executed Java will then look for an Exception Handler in F. If there's no exception in F it will Pop the F Method off the stack, making sure no code within F is executed Java will then look for an Exception Handler in Main. If there's no exception in Main it will Pop the Main Method off the stack, making sure no code within Main is executed and the whole program is terminated >> which is when you get the red error message in the Console

rewrite this using the ternary operator: if(shape== CIRCLE) { perimeter = Math.PI * size; }else { perimeter = 4 * size; }

perimeter= ((shape==CIRCLE)? Math.PI * size: 4*size);

example of shallow copy

public AdjustableHat[] getHatsTwo() { AdjustableHat[] copy = new AdjustableHat[myHats.length]; for (int i = 0; i < myHats.length; i++) { copy [i] = myHats[i]; } return copy; }

correct equals method w/ clock example instance variables = hours, mins, secs

public boolean equals(Object x){ if( !(x instanceOf Clock){ return false; } Clock c= (Clock)x; return hours == c.hours && mins==c.mins && secs= c.secs; } ------overloads it-----

Write a class that has an instance variable which is an array of Cat objects, called kitties. Write a method that returns a reference copy of kitties. Write a method that returns a shallow copy of kitties. Write a method that returns a deep copy of kitties.

public class Circus { private Cat[] kitties; public Cat[] referenceCopy( ) { return kitties; } public Cat[] shallowCopy() { Cat[] copy = new Cat[kitties.length]; for (int i = 0; i < copy.length; i++) { copy[i] = kitties[i]; } return copy; } public Cat[] deepCopy() { Cat[] copy = new Cat[kitties.length]; for (int i = 0; i < copy.length; i++) { copy[i] = new Cat(kitties[i]); } return copy; } }

Write a java class called "Fred". Put in a main method. Have the main method store your age in a variable named age. Then main should print out a line that has your name, followed by your age. (Use a ?string literal? for your name, but use the variable to access your age.)

public class Fred{ public static void main(String args[]){ int age = 12; System.out.println("Eileen W, age is " + age); } }

If someone showed you a Java class, how can you quickly identify which members were part of the API for that class?

public members

Write a method called smallSum that takes two int parameters, x and y. If the absolute value of the sum of the integers is more than 100, throw an ArithmeticException, passing the String "I don't like bi\ g numbers" to the constructor of the exception. If the sum is less than 100, then return the sum. Write a quick driver to test out your method. After making sure everything works correctly, modify the driver so \ that it catches the exception and prints out the message that was passed to the exception's constructor, but doesn't crash the program.

public static int smallSum(int x, int y) { if (Math.abs(x + y) > 100) { throw new ArithmeticException("I don't like big numbers!"); } return x + y; } public void static main(String[] args) { try { smallSum(50, 60); } catch (ArithmeticException e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } }

Name and describe the two visibility specifiers that you should know at this point.

public: these members are visible everywhere private: these members are visible only within the class

Consider the Basket class, partially shown below. What kind of copy of the array is being returned by the getter? public class Basket { private Egg[] eggs; ... public getEggs() { return eggs; } ... }

reference copy

"e"

reference to the Exception Object

rewrite this using the ternary operator: if (size < 100){ return "large"; }else{ return "small"; }

return (size < 100) ? "large" : "small"

get(int index)

returns the element at the given index

Why is the substring method expensive

runtime is O(n^2) because you have to copy characters over

Suppose you have a String variable called s. What expression will return the number of characters in the String?

s.length();

ternary operator X? Y : Z What must Y and Z be

same type

Which of the following two code fragments is a better choice? if (x == 4) { System.out.println("A"); } if (x == 6) { System.out.println("B"); }_________________________________________________ if (x == 4) { System.out.println("A"); } else if (x == 6) { System.out.println("B"); }

second one

Define the term "byte"

sequence of 8 bits

Which of the following is the best definition for the term "byte"?

sequence of 8 bits

Assume that x is an array of String references. Which kind of copy of the array is made is below? String[] y = new String[x.length]; for (int i = 0; i < y.length; i++) { y[i] = x[i]; }

shallow copy

Consider the Basket class, partially shown below. What kind of copy of the array is being returned by the getter? public class Basket { private Egg[] eggs; ... public getEggs( ) { Egg[] copy = new Egg[eggs.length]; for (int i = 0; i < eggs.length; i++) { copy[i] = eggs[i]; } return copy; } ... }

shallow copy

GETTERS FOR ARRAYS ARE DIFFERENT AND CANNOT BE NORMAL GETTERS. YOU HAVE TO USE EITHER A

shallow or deep copy

The "catch" block is only executed if

something weird (which solicits the exception to be thrown) happens. If the program runs exactly as expected, the catch block is ignored

Javadoc comments

starts with a forward slash and two asterisks (/**) and end with an asterisk forward-slash (*/) Are used to generate documentation with Javadoc

.equals

state of objects

What kind(s) of variables are given default values if they are not initialized explicitly?

static instance

What advantage do you gain from using one of the types of integer types that requires MORE memory?

store larger values or wider range of values

Which of the following represent possible identifiers (names of variables, methods, classes, etc.) in Java? We're not asking whether or not they are good style, just whether or not they satisfy the language requirements. (Select all that apply.) string 3OfAKind #goals int $balance_in_account

string, $balance_in_account

Gausses Formula

sum of numbers 1-n = n*(n-1)/2

Rewrite using switch statements. if(x == 3) { A } else if (x == 40){ B }else if(x == -5){ C }else{ D }

switch(x){ case 3: A break; case 40: B; break; case -5: C; break; default: D; }

Suppose you accidentally type "System.out.pint()" instead of "System.out.print()". What kind of error is this? syntax error logical error semantic error

syntax

Why are linked lists favored

take less time when inserting elements

Unit Testing

testing of individual programs by itself to make sure it satisfies contract

integrated testing

testing several components together working up to entire project

If an exception within a method isn't handled via an Exception Handler,

that method is popped off the Call Stack

There's two different parts of an exception:

the Exception and the Exception Handler

If the handler isn't within the Method where the Exception is created,

the Method in which the Exception is created is popped off the Call Stack

Aliasing is a ONLY a problem for mutable objects because

the Object can be changed, but it must be changed EVERYWHERE and this impacts the rest of the code

If all objects of a specific class are mutable/immutable,

the class is mutable/immutable

If there is no handler for a certain exception what happens with the finally block?

the finally block is STILL executed

the more data we process

the longer it takes

The String[] args parameter in the main method header allows

the program to receive arguments from the operating system command-line.

inheritance (in Java)

the relationship where a more specialized subclass is also of the type of a more general superclass

block scope

the scope of a variable declared within a statement block; a variable with block scope can be used only within the statement block in which it is declared, and only after its declaration statement

The exception might print early because

there are multiple threads of the program running at the same time

if the thing that the arrows are pointing at is mutable

this is a problem -arrays are always mutable, thats why reference copys are bad

public class Rabbit { public Rabbit(double size) { ...} public Rabbit() { // What goes here? } } Which of the following statements could be inserted into the second constructor so that it calls the first constructor with the argument 9.2?

this(9.2);

Assume the following class declaration, partially shown: public class Classroom { private String roomNumber; // e.g.: "IRB0324" private int capacity; // number of seats in the room public Classroom(String roomNumberIn, int capacityIn) { roomNumber = roomNumberIn; capacity = capacityIn; } public Classroom(String roomNumberIn) {// What should go here? } ... } What should you type into the body of the second constructor, so that it initializes the current object with the room number that is provided as an argument, and with a capacity that is always set to 100? Your answer must be a single statement that invokes the first constructor.

this(roomNumberIn,100);

Strings being immutable is bad because

time and memory (because this creates a lot of garbage in the Heap)

When you pop an entry into the stack does it go on the top or bottom?

top

When you push an entry into the stack does it go on the top or bottom?

top

Usually, the author of a Class states whether their Class is mutable/immutable at the

top of the API

(True/False) A method that is given a default implementation in an interface can be called on an instance of a class that implements the interface, even if the method does not appear in the class.

true

(True/False) In Java, arrays are objects.

true

(True/False) These two expressions carry the same value: (Assume that in both expressions, x starts with the same value). x-- x++

true

If you change a class in such a way that the API changes, then other classes which depend on this one will have to be re-coded.

true

True/False: In java, when you pass a reference variable as an argument to a method, it is possible for the method to modify the object to which the variable refers.

true

What values can a boolean variable achieve?

true or false

FINALLY BLOCK-in the try/catch block and there's a return which terminates the method

try block > catch block > finally block

FINALLY BLOCK- one exception is thrown and the handler is found locally

try block > catch block > finally block > remaining code outside

FINALLY BLOCK- No exceptions are thrown

try block > finally block > remaining code outside

Exception Handler

try { <code which might throw an exception> } catch (ExceptionClass e){ <put handler here> }

Catching multiple exceptions

try { <put troublesome code here> } catch (NullPointerException e) { <handler here> } catch (Arithmetic Exception e){ <other handler here> } catch (IOException e){ <other handler here> }

Finally block

try { <put troublesome code here> } catch (NullPointerException e) { <handler here> } catch (Arithmetic Exception e){ <other handler here> } catch (IOException e){ <other handler here> } finally { <code that is ALWAYS executed> } -follows all catch blocks, and executes after the program exits the corresponding try or catch blocks !!!!!ALWAYS RUNS!!!!! USE TO CLEAN UP CODE

Implicit Casting

type widening

Declaring a 2d ragged array the long way

type[ ] [ ] name = {value, value, value}, {value, value}....

operator precedence hierarchy

unary, multiplicative, additive, compairison, equality, and, or, assignment

If you don't plan to manipulate the string a lot,

use String

If you plan to manipulate the string (in a loop),

use StringBuffer

++x

value is x after incremented

Local variables

variables that are declared inside a method, stored on call stack

public

visible in the entire project

push

when something is added to the top of the stack- always goes on top

Assume that x and y are variables of type char. How to check whether or not x and y are the same character?

x == y

double x= 58.7; int y= (int) x;

x does not change, just a copy is put into y

After the following code has executed, what are the values of x and y? int x = 7; int y = --x - 2;

x is 6, y is 4

Assume that x and y are variables of type String. Which of the following boolean expressions should be used to check whether or not x and y contain the same sequence of characters?

x.equals(y)

Never forget that you should not compare two Strings with the == operator. Suppose you have two String variables, x and y. Give an expression that can be used to check whether or not the Strings x and y are identical.

x.equals(y);

After the following code has executed, what are the values of x and y? int x = 4; int y = 6 + x++;

x=5, y=10

How to instantiate the cats

x[0] = new Cat("Fluffy"); x[1] = new Cat("Princess"); x[2] = new Cat("Spot"); x[3] = new Cat("Steve");

Using the ternary operator (?:), write a single statement that is equivalent to the following code fragment, and only includes one assignment operator. DO NOT INCLUDE ANY SPACES IN YOUR ANSWER. if (x < 5) { y = 20; } else { y = 50; }

y=x<5?20:50;

Can you have multiple catch blocks for one try block?

yes

Is the following statement valid: boolean q = 17 < 25;

yes

Is the following statement valid: double y = 12;

yes

can you use this in instance methods

yes

public static void h(int x) { x = 4; bar(x); } After the call to the bar method is over, will the variable x still be set to 4?

yes

Immutable classes are preferred because

you can alias with no issues

Whats better about using interfaces?

you can only extend one class, but you can implement as many as you want

public default instance methods

you can put code in and the class that implements the interface inherit the coed and are able to override the method w/ own implementation

why do Java Collections Framework rely on equals method being correctly

you do not check if the exact object is in the collection, just one that looks the same

How many Cat objects are intialized? Cat[] x; x = new Cat[4];

you don't have 4 cats until you've initialized the 4 cats

When comparing performance of two algorithms from different categories, what can we say about performance?

you have to say for sufficiently large values of n, one category is better than another but that is all you can say ex : 16 steps - all of the big o are abbreviations "some linear function" "some quadratic function" so you cannot tell specifically

Accessing a class from a different package

you have to use import: import wholePackageName.innerPackageName...nameOfClass or use the fully qualified name every time you use the class

StringBuffer being mutable is bad because

you need to do copying instead of aliasing

JUnit cons

you never know if your code is precisely correct

If an Exception has been thrown without a Handler

you will get a Red Error Message on the console

When you throw an exception

your program will no longer be executed. This is because Java is looking for an Exception Handler (which fixes the problem)

Java Generics

• technique that allows us to define methods and classes that work with a variety of data types without the need for explicit casting.

static variables

• variable is connected to the whole class, not individual objects • all variables of the class share this one variable • with the keyword final it is used to create a constant

How many bytes are in a gigabyte?

1 billion or 2^30 bytes

What is the value of the following expression (in Java): 6 + 5 / 2 * 2

10

How many different values can be represented by 4 bits?

16

roundoff error

A numerical error that occurs because floating-point numbers are stored as approximations rather than as exact values.

super class

Class that contains the code with both state and behavior that can be extended by its subclasses.

Can this be used in an interface? public int x;

False- no instance variables

public static void foo( ){ Dog x= new Dog( );

ONLY ONE DOG

FlyingObject x; What can you do with x?

Only the methods listed in the interface x.takeOff( ): x.fly( ); x.land( );
