When concatenating Strings you have to watch out for possible performance problems. Concatenating two Strings in Java will be translated by the Java compiler to something like this: String one = "Hello"; String two = " World"; String three = new StringBuilder(one).append(two).toString(); As you can see, a new StringBuilder is created, passing along the first String to its constructor, and the second String to its append() method, before finally calling the toString() method. This code actually creates two objects: A StringBuilder instance and a new String instance returned from the toString() method.

Name the consequences of creating only a private default constructor.

- The class cannot be instantiated. - prevents the class from being subclassed: All constructors must invoke a superclass constructor, explicitly or implicitly, and a subclass would have no accessible superclass constructor to invoke.

Parallel Workers Disadvantages

- The shared workers often need access to some kind of shared data, either in memory or in a shared database. That creates complexity. Threads need to avoid race conditions, deadlock and many other shared state concurrency problems. - Part of the parallelization is lost when threads are waiting for each other when accessing the shared data structures. Many concurrent data structures are blocking, leading to contention and eventually serialization. - Shared state can be modified by other threads in the system. Therefore workers must re-read the state every time it needs it, to make sure it is working on the latest copy. This is true no matter whether the shared state is kept in memory or in an external database. A worker that does not keep state internally (but re-reads it every time it is needed) is called stateless . Re-reading data every time you need it can get slow. Especially if the state is stored in an external database.

What kind of information is contained on the heap?

- all objects created in your Java application, regardless of what thread created the object. - This includes the object versions of the primitive types (e.g. Byte, Integer, Long etc.). - It does not matter if an object was created and assigned to a local variable, or created as a member variable of another object, the object is still stored on the heap.

- argument variable - variable holds arguments passed to script when running it script, first, second, third = argv (line 3) - script = name of python script - first, second, third = 3 variables arguments assigned to

open()

- function opens a file - Required argument is filename - Default access_mode is read(r) - Does not return actual content; creates/reads fileObject -

close()

- method flushes unwritten information and closes file object - Not necessary, but important best practice

read()

- method reads a string from an open file - fileObject.read([count]) - Count = # of bytes to read, reads as much as possible if not given

Would a local variable be stored on heap or stack?

- primitive type, it is totally kept on the thread stack - reference to an object. In that case the reference (the local variable) is stored on the thread stack, but the object itself if stored on the heap.

Timeline

Allows you to set up a web page wherein objects change (appear, disappear, move, morph).

What is important to remember when creating a builder?

- the builder's setter methods return the builder itself so that invocations can be chained - the created object should be immutable - the builder is a static member class of the class it builds.

What is the range of byte

-128 to 127

What is the range of int?

-2,1 billion to 2,1billion

What is the range of short?

How do you create a Thread?

1) Extend Thread (java.lang.Thread) 2) Implement Runnable (java.lang.Runnable)

Functions

1) HEADER def function and add parameters 2) add additional """COMMENT here""" that explains the function 3)BODY describes procedures the function carries out, is indented

Describe the contract that needs to be followed when implementing hashcode.

1) if a class overrides equals, it must override hashCode 2) equals and hashCode must use the same set of fields 3) if two objects are equal, then their hashCode values must be equal as well 4) if the object is immutable, then hashCode is a candidate for caching and lazy initialization

Software interrupt example

Arithmetic overflow

Describe the builder pattern

1) The client gets a builder object. 2) The client calls setter-like methods on the builder object to set each optional parameter of interest. 3) the client calls a parameterless build method to generate the object, which is immutable.

Declaring a volatile Java variable means:

1) The value of this variable will never be cached thread-locally: all reads and writes will go straight to "main memory"; 2) Access to the variable acts as though it is enclosed in a synchronized block, synchronized on itself.

List the steps to implement equals

1) Use this == that to check reference equality 2) Use instanceof to test for correct argument type 3) Cast the argument to the correct type 4) Compare significant fields for equality

Explain the the service provider framework components

1) a service interface, which providers implement; 2) a provider registration API, which the system uses to register implementations, giving clients access to them 3) a service access API, which clients use to obtain an instance of the service 4) optionally, a service provider interface, which providers implement to create instances of their service implementation. In the absence of a service provider interface, implementations are registered by class name and instantiated reflectively.

Name some positive examples of a non-instantiable class

1) group related methods on primitive values or arrays, in the manner of java.lang.Math or java.util.Arrays. 2) group static methods, including factory methods, for objects that implement a particular interface, in the manner of java.util.Collections. 3) group methods on a final class, instead of extending the class.

ALTER TABLE

Why would you avoid creating more than one adapter object per backend?

An adapter is an object that delegates to a backing object, providing an alternative interface to the backing object. Because an adapter has no state beyond that of its backing object, there's no need to create more than one instance of a given adapter to a given object. For example, the keySet method of the Map interface returns a Set view of the Map object, consisting of all the keys in the map. Naively, it would seem that every call to keySet would have to create a new Set instance, but every call to keySet on a given Map object may return the same Set instance.

What is serialVersionUID?

In addition to implementing the Serializable interface, a class intended for serialization should also contain a private static final long variable named serialVersionUID. The serialVersionUID variable is used by Java's object serialization API to determine if a deserialized object was serialized (written) with the same version of the class, as it is now attempting to deserialize it into. If you make changes to the class that affect serialization, you should also change its serialVersionUID value.

It is possible to have many different variables reference the same object. This is not possible with primitive data types.

...

Java access modifier assigned to a Java class takes precedence over any access modifiers assigned to fields, constructors and methods of that class. If the class is marked with the default access modifier, then no other class outside the same Java package can access that class, including its constructors, fields and methods.

Parallel computing

Multiple processors have direct access to another

...

Java's auto boxing features enables you to use primitive data types where the object version of that data type was normally required, and vice versa. There is one pitfall to keep in mind though. A variable of type object (a reference to an object) can point to null, meaning it points to nothing - no object. If you try to convert null to a primitive value you will get a NullPointerException

...

More precisely, objects representing Java String literals are obtained from a constant String pool which the Java virtual machine keeps internally. That means, that even classes from different projects compiled separately, but which are used in the same application may share constant String objects. The sharing happens at runtime. It is not a compile time feature.

overloading

Overriding a method in such a way that it also takes a different number of arguments than the original is referred to as overloading a method. This can be accomplished in PHP but not as easily as overriding one.

format operator

The % operator takes a format string and a tuple of values and generates a string by inserting the data values into the format string at the appropriate locations.

When is factory pattern useful pt1

The Factory pattern becomes useful in situations where the type of object that needs to be generated isn't known when the program is written but only once the program is running. In very dynamic applications, this can often be the case.

how does factory pattern work

The Factory pattern works via a static method, conventionally named Create(), factory(), factoryMethod(), or createInstance(). The method takes at least one argument, which indicates the type of object to create. The method then returns an object of that type. static function Create($type) { // Validate $type. return new SomeClassType(); }

...

The Java String class also has a lastIndexOf() method which finds the last occurrence of a substring.

...

The Java String class contains a method called trim() which can trim a string object. By trim is meant to remove white space characters at the beginning and end of the string. White space characters include space, tab and new lines.

What is the difference between A) Boolean.valueOf(String) B) new Boolean(String)

The static factory method Boolean.valueOf(String) is almost always preferable to the constructor Boolean(String). The constructor creates a new object each time it's called, while the static factory method is never required to do so and won't in practice. The static factory method can work with a pool of immutable objects.

...

The values stored in the cache memory is typically flushed back to main memory when the CPU needs to store something else in the cache memory. The CPU cache can have data written to part of its memory at a time, and flush part of its memory at a time. It does not have to read / write the full cache each time it is updated. Typically the cache is updated in smaller memory blocks called "cache lines". One or more cache lines may be read into the cache memory, and one or mor cache lines may be flushed back to main memory again.

When fetching a URL in a browser, what happens after the DNS lookup?

Then a socket needs to be opened from the user's computer to that IP number, on the port specified (most often port 80 (http) or 433(https))

Give an example of a race condition when using a volatile variable.

As soon as a thread needs to first read the value of a volatile variable, and based on that value generate a new value for the shared volatile variable, a volatile variable is no longer enough to guarantee correct visibility. The short time gap in between the reading of the volatile variable and the writing of its new value, creates an race condition where multiple threads might read the same value of the volatile variable, generate a new value for the variable, and when writing the value back to main memory - overwrite each other's values.

c++ destructor

"In C++ and C#, the destructor's name for the class ClassName is ~ClassName, the corollary of the constructor, which is ClassName. Java does not support destructors." Excerpt From: Ullman, Larry. "PHP Advanced and Object-Oriented Programming: Visual Quickpro Guide, Third Edition." iBooks.

class names and function names are not case sensitive

"function names in PHP are not case-sensitive, the same is true for method names in classes."

initialize class attribute

"if an attribute is initialized with a set value, that value must be a literal value and not the result of an expression: Click here to view code image class GoodClass { public $var1 = 123; public $var2 = 'string'; public $var3 = array(1, 2, 3); } class BadClass { // These won't work! public $today = get_date(); public $square = $num * $num;"

call the methods of the class, you use this syntax

$object->methodName(); $object->methodName(arg1, arg2, arg3,...)

$this

$this is a reference to the calling object (usually the object to which the method belongs, but possibly another object, if the method is called statically from the context of a secondary object)

$this is not available inside static function

$this, which always refers to the current object, is not available inside a static method, because static methods are meant to be invoked without using an object.

interface benefits

Another benefit that interfaces have over using abstract classes and inheritance is that classes in PHP cannot inherit from multiple parents. Classes, however, can implement multiple interfaces by separating each by a comma: Click here to view code image class SomeClass implements iA, iB {

private variable convention

As a convention, private variable names are often begun with an underscore. This is commonly done in many OOP languages, although it is not required.

Php Class Definition Format

Basic class definitions begin with the keyword class, followed by a class name, followed by a pair of curly braces which enclose the definitions of the properties and methods belonging to the class.

how to access static or constant attributes

Constants, like static attributes, also cannot be accessed through the object. You cannot do this: $obj->PI or $obj::PI But you can use ClassName::CONSTANT_NAME (e.g., SomeClass::PI) anywhere. You can also use self::CONSTANT_NAME within the class's methods.

how to reference a namespace

First include the file that defines the namespace, then use backslashes to indicate a namespace is being used. E.G. require('SomeNameSpace.php'); $obj = new \SomeNameSpace\SomeClass(); Or: require('MyUtilities\User\User.php'); $obj = new \MyUtilities\User\Login();

composition UML

In UML, composition is indicated by drawing a line with a diamond at one end from the included class (e.g., Employee) to the composite class (e.g., Department).

interface part 1

Interfaces, like abstract classes, identify the functionality (i.e., the methods) that must be defined by a specific class. To create an interface, use the interface keyword. Then, within the curly brackets, define the method signatures, not their actual implementation: interface iSomething { public function someFunction($var); }

copying and cloning part 2

More formally put, this means that PHP assigns objects by reference, not by value. PHP does this for performance reasons, as having multiple copies of entire objects, when not needed, is expensive.

_ _toString

The _ _toString() Method If you define a _ _toString() method in a class, PHP will invoke that method automatically when an object of that type is used as a string. For example, it would be called if you attempted to do this: $a = new SomeClass(); echo $a;

function's signature

The combination of a function's name and its arguments (the number of arguments, specifically) is referred to as the function's signature. In PHP 5, except for constructors, any derived class must use the same signature when overriding a method.

Abstract Class vs. Interface

The difference between an interface and an abstract class may seem subtle. Remember that an abstract class is meant to be extended by a more specific class, of which you'll probably create an object instance. As you've already seen, an abstract class might define a generic object, such as a shape. Conversely, an interface is not inherited by a class, so you should not think of an interface as a way of loosely defining an entire object. Instead, an interface establishes a contract for the functionality that a class must have, regardless of the class type. For example, in Chapter 8, "Using Existing Classes," you'll learn about the Iterator interface defined within the Standard PHP Library (SPL). The Iterator interface dictates the methods that must exist in a class in order for PHP to be ...

how to create a trait

To create a trait, use the trait keyword, followed by the name and definition: trait tSomeTrait { // Attributes function someFunction() { // Do whatever. } }

new

To create an instance of a class, the new keyword must be used.

override a method

To override a method in PHP, the subclass must define a method with the exact same name and number of arguments as the parent class.

parent keyword

To refer to a member of a parent class, use the scope resolution operator with the keyword parent: class SomeOtherClass extends SomeClass{ function _ _construct() { parent::doThis(); } }

Type Hinting

Type hinting is the programming act of indicating what type of value is expected. For example, what type of value a function expects to receive for a parameter. Type hinting doesn't play much of a role in procedural PHP code because you cannot hint simple types (e.g., integers or strings). But you can hint object types, which is more useful.

autoload part2

_ _autoload() function is invoked when code attempts to instantiate an object of a class that hasn't yet been defined.

`new self` and `new static` example

class A { public static function get_self() { return new self(); } public static function get_static() { return new static(); } } class B extends A {} echo get_class(B::get_self()); // A echo get_class(B::get_static()); // B echo get_class(A::get_self()); // A echo get_class(A::get_static()); // A

destructor

class ClassName { // Attributes and methods. function _ _destruct() { // Function code. } } Destructors do differ from constructors and other methods in that they cannot take any arguments.

Triangle Class Example

class Triangle extends Shape { private $_sides = array(); private $_perimeter = NULL; function _ _construct($s0 = 0, $s1 = 0, $s2 = 0) { $this->_sides[] = $s0; $this->_sides[] = $s1; $this->_sides[] = $s2; $this->_perimeter = array_sum($this->_sides); } // End of constructor. public function getArea() { //code } } public function getPerimeter() { return $this->_perimeter; } }

abstract keyword

defining an abstract class abstract class ClassName { } abstract function methodName(); abstract function methodName ($var1, $var2); abstract class Pet { protected $_name; abstract public function getName(); }

dynamically calling a class attribute

function printVar($var) { echo "<p>In Test, \$$var: '{$this->$var}'.</p>"; } } // End of Test class.

get_object_vars && get_class_methods

get_object_vars($this); $methods = get_class_methods($this);

instanceof

if ($obj instanceof SomeClass) { ...} Notice that you don't put the class's name in quotation marks. Also—and this is important—in order for this to work, the PHP script must have access to the SomeClass definition.

default destructing

if you don't forcibly delete the object , it will be deleted when the script stops running.

implement abstract method rule

implementation of the abstract method in the extended class—e.g., Cat::getName()—must abide by the same visibility or weaker. If the abstract function is public, the extended version must also be public. If the abstract function is protected, then the extended version can only be protected or public. You would never make an abstract method private, since a private method

a CRUD interface

interface iCrud { public function create($data); public function read(); public function update($data); public function delete(); } class User implements iCrud { private $_userId = NULL; private $_username = NULL; function _ _construct($data) { $this->_userId = uniqid(); $this->_username = $data['username']; } . function create($data) { self::_ _construct($data); } function read() { return array('userId' => $this->_userId, 'username' => $this->_username); } function update($data) { $this->_username = $data['username']; } public function delete() { $this->_username = NULL; $this->_userId = NULL; } }

add a trait to a class

you add a trait to a class via the use keyword inside the class definition: class SomeClass { use tSomeTrait; // Rest of class. }

indicating visibility in UML

• +, for public • -, for private • #, for protected +name:string +_ _construct($pet_name:string):void

class attribute summary

• Are variables • Must be declared as public, private, or protected (I'll use only public in this chapter) • If initialized, must be given a static value (not the result of an expression)

constructor summary

• Its name is always _ _construct(). • It is automatically and immediately called whenever an object of that class is created. • It cannot have a return statement. The syntax for defining a constructor: class ClassName { public $var; function _ _construct(arg1=default1, arg2=default2,...) { // Function code. } }

What is Context Switching Overhead

When a CPU switches from executing one thread to executing another, the CPU needs to save the local data, program pointer etc. of the current thread, and load the local data, program pointer etc. of the next thread to execute. This switch is called a "context switch". The CPU switches from executing in the context of one thread to executing in the context of another. Context switching isn't cheap. You don't want to switch between threads more than necessary.

short circuit evaluation

slice

A copy of part of a sequence specified by a series of indices.

What is the difference between A) String s = new String("stringette"); and B) String s = "stringette";

A creates a new String instance each time it is executed, and none of those object creations is necessary. The argument to the String constructor ("stringette") is itself a String instance, functionally identical to all of the objects created by the constructor. B uses a single String instance, rather than creating a new one each time it is executed. Furthermore, it is guaranteed that the object will be reused by any other code running in the same virtual machine that happens to contain the same string literal.

A function used in a program or script that causes the Python interpreter to display a value on its output device.

Internet

A group of computers and servers that are connected to each other.

block

A group of consecutive statements with the same indentation.

strings

A string is usually a bit of text you want to display to someone, or "export" out of the program you are writing. Python knows you want something to be a string when you put either " (double-quotes) or ' (single-quotes) around the text. You saw this many times with your use of print when you put the text you want to go inside the string inside " or ' after the print to print the string. Strings may contain the format characters you have discovered so far. You simply put the formatted variables in the string, and then a % (percent) character, followed by the variable. The only catch is that if you want multiple formats in your string to print multiple variables, you need to put them inside ( ) (parenthesis) separated by , (commas). It's as if you were telling me to buy you a list of items from the store and you said, "I want milk, eggs, bread, and soup." Only as a programmer we say, "(milk, eggs, bread, soup)."

local variable

A variable defined inside a function. A local variable can only be used inside its function. Parameters of a function are also a special kind of local variable.

Explain how Functional Parallelism avoids race conditions?

All parameters passed to the function are copied, so no entity outside the receiving function can manipulate the data. This copying is essential to avoiding race conditions on the shared data. This makes the function execution similar to an atomic operation. Each function call can be executed independently of any other function call.

Which concurrency model is used by reactive or event driven systems

Each worker only performs a part of the full job. When that part is finished the worker forwards the job to the next worker. Each worker is running in its own thread, and shares no state with other workers. This is also sometimes referred to as a shared nothing concurrency model. They are usually design to use non-blocking IO.

Describe how race conditions can occur.

If two or more threads share an object, and more than one thread updates variables in that shared object, race conditions may occur. Solved by Java synchronized block.

How can static factory methods reduce the verbosity of creating parameterized type instances?

If HashMap provided this generic static factory: public static <K, V> HashMap<K, V> newInstance() { return new HashMap<K, V>(); } Then instead of writing: Map<String, List<String>> m = new HashMap<String, List<String>>(); we could write this: Map<String, List<String>> m = HashMap.newInstance();

What is the volatile Happens-Before Guarantee?

If Thread A writes to a volatile variable and Thread B subsequently reads the same volatile variable, then all variables visible to Thread A before writing the volatile variable, will also be visible to Thread B after it has read the volatile variable. Instructions before and after can be reordered, but the volatile read or write cannot be mixed with these instructions. Whatever instructions follow a read or write of a volatile variable are guaranteed to happen after the read or write.

...

If a Java inner class declares fields or methods with the same names as field or methods in its enclosing class, the inner fields or methods are said to shadow over the outer fields or methods.

...

If a method or variable is marked as private (has the private access modifier assigned to it), then only code inside the same class can access the variable, or call the method. Code inside subclasses cannot access the variable or method, nor can code from any external class.

What is the Thread Control Escape Rule

If a resource is created, used and disposed within the control of the same thread, and never escapes the control of this thread, the use of that resource is thread safe.

Can you think of a guarantee to know if a given object is thread safe?

If an object created locally never escapes the method it was created in, it is thread safe.

What is the implication of implementing comparable for collections and arrays alike?

If any class implements the comparable interface then collection of that object can be sorted automatically using Collection.sort() or Arrays.sort()

Overflow error

Describe the problem of Visibility of Shared Objects

If two or more threads are sharing an object, without the proper use of either volatile declarations or synchronization, updates to the shared object made by one thread may not be visible to other threads. Solved by volatile

Explain the consequences of workers having state.

If workers can be stateful, they have to be sure there are no other threads modify their data. They can keep their data in memory, only writing changes back the eventual external systems. A stateful worker can therefore often be faster than a stateless worker.

copying and cloning part 3

If you actually want two separate, individual objects, you need to create a clone: $a = new SomeClass(); $a->val = 1; $b = clone $a; // Separate objects! $b->val = 2; echo $a->val; // 1 When the clone operator is used, PHP will perform what's called a "shallow copy." If you want to change how a clone of an object is made, you can define a _ _clone() method within the class. That method would be called whenever a clone is made, and would handle the cloning as you see fit. See the PHP manual for details.

...

If you override a method in a subclass, and the method is all of a sudden removed or renamed or have its signature changed in the superclass, the method in the subclass no longer overrides the method in the superclass.

...

If you override a method in a subclass, but still need to call the method defined in the superclass, you can do so using the super reference

...

If you want to be sure that two String variables point to separate String objects, use the new operator like this: String myString1 = new String("Hello World");

...

If, however, the subclass calls up into a method in the superclass, and that method accesses the field with the same name as in the subclass, it is the field in the superclass that is accessed.

What are the advantages of implementing Runnable or extending Thread?

Implementing Runnable handing an instance of the implementation to a Thread instance is easy with Threadpools

universal import

Pipelining

Improving processor throughout by performing part of the FDE cycle concurrently

...

Let's assume our application, a todo-list, is already running for a while and the user presses a button to create a new entry in the todo-list. This will result in a button-clicked event in the DOM, which is captured by the DOM-Driver and forwarded to one of our ActionCreators. The ActionCreator takes the DOM-event and maps it to an action. Actions are an implementation of the Command Pattern, i.e. they describe what should be done, but do not modify anything themselves. In our example, we create an AddToDoItemAction and pass it to the Updater. The Updater contains the application logic. It keeps a reference to the current state of the application. Every time it receives an action from one of the ActionCreators, it generates the new state. In our example, if the current state contains three todo-items and we receive the AddToDoItemAction, the Updater will create a new state that contains the existing todo-items plus a new one. The state is passed to the View()-Function, which creates the so-called Virtual DOM. As the name suggests, the Virtual DOM is not the real DOM, but it is a data-structure that describes how the DOM should look like. The code snippet above shows an example of a Virtual DOM for a simple <div>. A later article will explain the Virtual DOM and its advantages in detail. The Virtual DOM is passed to the DOM-Driver which will update the DOM and wait for the next user input. With this, the cycle ends.

Mantissa

Numbers before decimal place

...

Java classes where the subclass constructors did not seem to call the constructors in the superclass. Maybe the superclass did not even have a constructor. However, the subclass constructors have still called superclass constructors in those case.

Nested classes which are declared private are not inherited. Nested classes with the default (package) access modifier are only accessible to subclasses if the subclass is located in the same package as the superclass. Nested classes with the protected or public access modifier are always inherited by subclasses.

Physical Layer (OSI 1)

Network devices and transmission media

...

Notice how you put new after the reference to the outer class in order to create an instance of the inner class. Non-static nested classes (inner classes) have access to the fields of the enclosing class, even if they are declared private.

...

Now, for every iteration in this loop a new StringBuilder is created. Additionally, a String object is created by the toString() method. This results in a small object instantiation overhead per iteration: One StringBuilder object and one String object. This by itself is not the real performance killer though. But something else related to the creation of these objects is. Every time the new StringBuilder(result) code is executed, the StringBuilder constructor copies all characters from the result String into the StringBuilder. The more iterations the loop has, the bigger the result String grows. The bigger the result String grows, the longer it takes to copy the characters from it into a new StringBuilder, and again copy the characters from the StringBuilder into the temporary String created by the toString() method. In other words, the more iterations the slower each iteration becomes.

how to implement the composite pattern

Start with an abstract base class that will be extended by the different subclasses. The base class needs to identify the methods for adding and removing "leaves" (or composite items). The base class also needs to identify any functionality that the composite, or its subelements, needs to do:

conditionals

Statements that only run under certain conditions or situations.

you can call static methods from an abstract class

Static methods in OOP do not change internal state, therefore you can call static methods from an abstract class.

DATE_SUB()

Subtracts a specified time interval from a date

Domain Name System (DNS)

System for providing domains to resources on a network

Logical Error

System not behaving in the way that the customer initially expected; programmers misunderstood task

...

The Java String class contains a split() method which can be used to split a String into an array of String objects. The source String has been split on the a characters. The Strings returned do not contain the a characters. The a characters are considered delimiters to split the String by, and the delimiters are not returned in the resulting String array.

...

The Java access modifiers private and protected cannot be assigned to a class.

...

The Java inheritance mechanism does not include constructors. In other words, constructors of a superclass are not inherited by subclasses. Subclasses can still call the constructors in the superclass using the super() contruct. In fact, a subclass constructor is required to call one of the constructors in the superclass as the very first action inside the constructor body.

Describe the Java memory model.

The Java memory model used internally in the JVM divides memory between thread stacks and the heap.

What is the volatile Visibility Guarantee

The Java volatile keyword guarantees visibility of changes to variables across threads.

...

The Math.abs() function returns the absolute value of the parameter passed to it.

...

The Math.ceil() function rounds a floating point value up to the nearest integer value.

...

The Math.floor() function rounds a floating point value down to the nearest integer value.

...

The Math.floorDiv() method divides one integer (int or long) by another, and rounds the result down to the nearest integer value. What is the difference to regular int division?

...

The Math.round() method rounds a float or double to the nearest integer using normal math round rules .

RGB (Red Green Blue)

The combination of the three primary colors that can represent a full color spectrum.

...

The compareTo() method compares the String to another String and returns an int telling whether this String is smaller, equal to or larger than the other String. If the String is earlier in sorting order than the other String, compareTo() returns a negative number. If the String is equal in sorting order to the other String, compareTo() returns 0. If the String is after the other String in sorting order, the compareTo() metod returns a positive number.

Web server

The computer the web pages are stored on. The web server will transmit the web pages across the network/internet to the client computer which is running a web browser.

...

The default Java access modifier is declared by not writing any access modifier at all.

...

The default access modifier means that code inside the class itself as well as code inside classes in the same package as this class, can access the class, field, constructor or method which the default access modifier is assigned to. Therefore, the default access modifier is also sometimes referred to as the package access modifier.

accessibility

The design of products, devices, services, or environments taking into consideration the ability for all users to access, including people who experience disabilities or those who are limited by older or slower technology.

Home page

The main page of an organization or company which is the first page seen when the organization's URL is visited.

When is a function pure?

The outcome of a pure function depends only on the input parameters and they do not have any side effects.

...

The private access modifier means that only code inside the class itself can access this Java field. The package access modifier means that only code inside the class itself, or other classes in the same package, can access the field. You don't actually write the package modifier. By leaving out any access modifier, the access modifier defaults to package scope. The protected access modifier is like the package modifier, except subclasses of the class can also access the field, even if the subclass is not located in the same package. The public access modifier means that the field can be accessed by all classes in your application.

What is the "Visibility Problem"?

The problem with threads not seeing the latest value of a variable because it has not yet been written back to main memory by another thread, is called a "visibility" problem. The updates of one thread are not visible to other threads. Solution: By declaring the counter variable volatile all writes to the counter variable will be written back to main memory immediately. Also, all reads of the counter variable will be read directly from main memory.

recursion

The process of calling the currently executing function.

WHILE Loop

To repeat while a condition is true (e.g. while score < 100)

evaluate

To simplify an expression by performing the operations in order to yield a single value.

varchar(size)

Variable-length character string. Max size is specified in parenthesis.

We put a , (comma) at the end of each print line. This is so print doesn't end the line with a newline character and go to the next line

In which situation would you not use volatile?

When we want to read-update-write as an atomic operation (unless we're prepared to "miss an update"); Accessing a volatile variable never holds a lock.

...

When you call a constructor from inside another constructor, you use the this keyword to refer to the constructor

...

When you create a subclass of some class, the methods in the subclass cannot have less accessible access modifiers assigned to them than they had in the superclass.

autoload part1

When you define a class in one script that is referenced in another script, you have to make sure that the second script includes the first, or there will be errors. To that end, PHP 5 supports a special function called _ _autoload

Explain loitering

When you don't free references to be collected. E.g. In the array implementation of a stack, pop needs to null the entry for the popped item

keyword self

Whereas you can use $this within a class to refer to the current object instance, the keyword self is a reference to the current class:

If a variable is not a function and does not have var then it is?

a global variable

if a variable is not a function and does not have var then it is?

a global variable

variable

a name for a place to store strings, numbers etc.

Are you holding a lock when you access a synchronized method?

access to a volatile variable never has the potential to block: we're only ever doing a simple read or write, so unlike a synchronized block we will never hold on to any lock;

PHP CALL BACK

array($this, $some_method_string) it is a valid callback , calling the method $some_method_string on $this. You can't pass $this->some_method_string without it being called right then and there.

purpose of namespace

as you begin utilizing more and more classes, including those defined by other developers and in third-party libraries, conflicts can occur if multiple classes have the same name. Namespaces prevent these conflicts by letting you organize your code into groups. This has the effect of allowing you to safely use descriptive names without concern for conflicts.

class Rectangle { use tDebug; public width = 0; public length = 0; function __construct($w,$l) { this->$width = $w; this->$length = $l; } public function getArea(){ return (this->$width*this->length); } ...... }

implementing multiple interfaces

class SomeClass implements iA, iB { /* code */ }

self example

class SomeClass { function _ _construct() { self::doThis(); } protected function doThis() { echo 'done!'; } } self::doThis() will invoke the doThis() method of the current class

How to use Type Hinting

class SomeClass { function doThis(OtherClass $var) { } } If the argument passed to the doThis() method is not of type OtherClass, or of a derived subclass, PHP will generate a fatal error

composite pattern example pt5

class Team extends WorkUnit{ private $_employees = array(); function add(Employee $e){ $this->_employees []= $e; } function remove(Employee $e){ $ind = array_search($e,$this->_employees); unset($this->_employees[$ind]); } function assignTask(Task $k){ $this->tasks [] = $k; } function completeTask(Task $k){ $ind = array_search($k, $this->_tasks); unset($this->_taks[ind]); } function getCount() { return count($this->employees); } }

What is the main disadvantage of providing only static factory methods?

classes without public or protected constructors cannot be subclassed.For example, it is impossible to subclass any of the convenience implementation classes in the Collections Framework. Arguably this can be a blessing in disguise, as it encourages programmers to use composition instead of inheritance.

argv

the "argument variable," a very standard name in programming, that you will find used in many other languages. This variable holds the arguments you pass to your Python script when you run it. You know how you type python ex13.py to run the ex13.py file? Well the ex13.py part of the command is called an "argument." What we'll do now is write a script that also accepts arguments. What's the difference between argv and raw_input()? The difference has to do with where the user is required to give input. If they give your script inputs on the command line, then you use argv. If you want them to input using the keyboard while the script is running, then use raw_input(). Line 3: script, first, second, third = argv Line 3 "unpacks" argv so that, rather than holding all the arguments, it gets assigned to four variables you can work with: script, first, second, and third. This may look strange, but "unpack" is probably the best word to describe what it does. It just says, "Take whatever is in argv, unpack it, and assign it to all of these variables on the left in order." (ex13.py)

what can be placed in a namespace

• Classes • Interfaces • Functions • Constants You couldn't create a namespace just to hold some variables.

A class at its core has three components:

• Its name • Its attributes • Its methods

where to use ::

• Within classes, to avoid confusion when inherited classes have the same attributes and methods • Outside of classes, to access members without first creating objects
