Comparing And Cloning Objects?

Aug 2, 2014

I'm working on a program with the following instructions: Write a class named Octagon that extends GeometricObject and implements the Comparable and Cloneable interfaces. Assume that all 8 sides of the octagon are of equal size. The area can be computed using the following formula

area = (2 + 4/square root of 2) * side * side

Write a program (driver) to read in a series of values from a file, display the area and perimeter, create a clone and compare the object and its clone (based on the area). In addition, your program should compare the current object (just read in) with the first object read in. The program ends when a negative number is read from the file.

My GeometricObject abstract class:

public abstract class GeometricObject {
public abstract double getArea();
public abstract double getPerimeter();
}

My Octagon Class:

public class Octagon extends GeometricObject implements Comparable<Octagon> {
private double side = 1.0;
protected native Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException;
public Octagon() {
}
public Octagon(double side) {
super();

[code]....

As you can tell, I've still got a long way to go in the tester class but this is where I'm running into some difficulties.

You'll notice that in the return statement of the toString method in the Octagon class, I put a ? after the "Clone Compare:" portion of the code, what should go here. I've never worked with either the Comparable or Cloneable interfaces before.

How I should create my objects in a way that would give the following sample output.

Object 1: Area: 120.71
Perimeter: 40.0
Clone Compare: Equal
First Compare: Equal

Object 2: Area: 271.60
Perimeter: 60.0
Clone Compare: Equal
First Compare: First is smaller

Not Always Getting Expected Outcome When Comparing Calendar Objects

Sep 18, 2014

I am writing a short program to find the zodiac of a given birth date. I am checking to see if a calendar object falls between to other objects to see if the date falls within a certain zodiac sign. To accomplish this, I have the user enter a date, then that date is compared to dates taken from an array. The problem is sometimes the comparison doesnt seem to work work, giving the wrong zodiac. For example if I enter 03/28/1968, it finds Aries, as expected. However if I enter 03/20/1968, it returns Aries also, when it should return Pisces. Here is the sample code.

private static String determineSign(Date birthdate, String[][] zodiac) throws ParseException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Date date = birthdate;
for (int row = 0; row < zodiac.length; row++)
{
DateFormat date3 = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd");
Calendar compDate3 = Calendar.getInstance();

[Code] .....

This is the class that creates the table used for the zodiac dates -

public class ZodiacTable {
static final int ROWS = 12;
static final int COLUMNS = 3;
//private ArrayList<String> zodiacNames;
private String[][] zodiacNames;

[Code] ....

I cant seem to see why it returns the wrong zodiac..

Copying Data Objects To Serializable Objects

Jul 27, 2014

I am currently working on a project where I need to return data from a database over RMI to a client who requests it. Some of the fields in the Data Object can not be seen by the client so I need to create another object to send over the network instead. The method I use is this...

public static SerializableObject createSerializableObjectFromDataObject(DataObject dataObject){
SerializableObject serializableObject = new SerializableObject();
serializableObject.setField(dataObject.getField());
serializableObject.setAnotherField(dataObject.getAnotherField());
return serializableObject;
}

Is there a better way of doing this? I am creating many subclasses DataObject which all require this static method to be implemented and I can't push it into the superclass because each one needs custom behaviour.

Comparing Two Variables

Mar 30, 2014

Let's get it out of the way -- I'm stumped. On something that should be pretty simple to solve. Code follows.

public class Sum {
public static void main(String [] args) {
Double nSum = 0.0;
Double aDouble = 100.0;
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++){
nSum += 0.1;

[Code] ....

The output:

100.000000
100.000000
false
false
false
false
false

Process finished with exit code 0

I wrote another simple program and hardcoded the values: aDouble = 100.0; bDouble= 100.0000

Using aDouble.equals(bDouble) returns true, just as one would expect.

So what am I overlooking?

Comparing Two Hashmaps

Mar 3, 2015

I have a simple question but I dont understand why I am getting false for this boolean statement.

System.out.println("hash compare " + (trialSearch.returnHash() == fish.returnHash()));
System.out.println("fish.returnHash()" + (fish.returnHash()));
System.out.println("trialSearch.returnHash()" + (trialSearch.returnHash()));

the output is as follow:

hash compare false
fish.returnHash(){T=[1, 2, 3, 5], G=[], A=[0], C=[4]}
trialSearch.returnHash(){T=[1, 2, 3, 5], G=[], A=[0], C=[4]}

why is it printing false for the boolean statment when the two hashmaps contain the same values and keys?

Comparing 2 String Values?

Nov 8, 2014

I am trying some exercises on codingbat.com, and am stuck at the following program.

"Given a string, return true if it ends in "ly"."

With the following lines, if I type a print command instead of return, I get "ly". Yet if I aks to compare the result (which is "ly" as I can see with a print command) with == "ly", I get false?

What I also don't get, is that if I tye the programs in javascript, in that language the program works.

String str = "Oddly"
return ((str.substring(str.length()-2))== "ly");
}

Error Comparing Strings

May 24, 2014

I was writing a code to have the library books classified in name, author, area, ed, etc. I'm using NetBeans and it doesn't accuse any error. But when I run the project, it never goes right and shows the books only in one area, regarthless what I type. (The goal of the algorithm is to separate the books in areas (sciences, humanities and biological science).

Comparing String But /0 Keeps Being Counted

Apr 20, 2014

Ok I am trying to compare a string to see if all characters are unique. If there is a library for this or a better way to approach this do tell. However I find it important to understand what is going on behind the scenes. The issue is that the program counts the spaces '/0' and therefore everything will never be unique.

public class CheckUnique
{
private String sentence = "This will be compard";
private char[] checker;
private String isUnique = "The sentence is unique";
private String notUnique = "The sentence is not unique";

Comparing Two Arrays With Same Size

May 7, 2013

Is it possible to compare 2 arrays as below if they have same size?

Int array[][] = new int[10][10];
array1[I] == array2;

Or assign the whole array to another array?
array1[I] = array2[I];

Suppose I have 2 arrays, 1 is old, and 1 is new.

I will do the calculation to update the new array.

Then, I will compare between the 2 arrays.

If they are the same, I will stop the calculation.
If they are not the same, I will assign the new array to the old array.
Then, I will do the calculation again until the old array and the new array are the same.

As I do not want to write a loop to compare and assign the value to the arrays. May I compare or assign the values to the whole array directly.

I want to compere two element of string array by each other! eventually I want to print Yes or No in matrix . SO, I start reading data from file then split them into two parts .

File file= new File(fileName);

while (inputStream.hasNext()){
String data= inputStream.next();
String [] token =data.split(",");
System.out.println("day"+token[0] +"embloyee name:"+ token[1]) ;
}
inputStream.close();

Now I want to compere each cell from token[0] by another array :

String[] day= { "Sunday", "Monday" ................};

if the days are equal then I want print yes in front of the employee name if not then i want to print No..is this gone work with me as I imagine it to be or do I have to take few more steps to get my code going?

Comparing Specific Elements Of Two Arrays

May 5, 2015

I’ve been working on this problem for a couple days already but I came to a point where I don’t really know what to do. Basically I’ve got two arrays filled with int values (0, 1, and 2), which I get from Class B through their respective getMethods.

1 stands for black and 2 stands for something else.

The program counts how many times the value 1 (if chosen color is black) occurs in both arrays and then compares the both counts. If it detects any difference the program does something else, otherwise it waits.

public class A {
private static boolean finished;
public A() {
B objectClassB = new B();
int[] numbers = objectClassB.getNumbers();
int[] numbers2 = objectClassB.getNumbers2();
String color = objectClassB.getColor();

[Code] ....

Here the class B.

public class B {
private int[] numbers = new int[] { 2, 2, 0, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 1, 0, 2, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 1 };
private int[] numbers2 = new int[] { 2, 2, 0, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 1, 0, 2, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0 };
private String color = "black";
public B() {
}
public int[] getNumbers(){

[Code] .....

this would be the Output:

[2, 2, 0, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 1, 0, 2, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 1]
[2, 2, 0, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 1, 0, 2, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0]
number of black tokens of first array: 8
number of black tokens of second array: 7
the number of black tokens has changed

The actual problem is that I will be getting one array at a time (meaning: the array int[] numbers from Class B updates itself and might change its values). I just declared and initialize both arrays for illustration purposes.

That would mean I need to hold the array’s values the first time I get them in a temporary variable until I get the values of the updated array. Then I could use them in the method –numberOfRelevantElements- and check if any changes have occurred.

What would be the best approach for doing this? I though of inserting the different counts that I get into a queue and then comparing these values one after the other. But I’m not really sure if that would work.
