How To Pass Object Type To A Method / Then Create Instance
Aug 9, 2014
Essentially, the code I want is:
public void randomCreate(ParentObject obj){
int x = random(0-4); //pseudo
int y = random(0-4); //pseudo
create new ParentObj(x,y);
}
ParentObject is actually abstract, so you would only ever pass one of its children objects to it, and a child object of that type would be created. It seems like there should be a way to pass a type, rather than an object, and then create an instance later down, but I don't know if that is actually possible, or if it is poor programming style.

I can't figure out where to create the StringHandler object. My code should take a string as input, then create StringHandler object ord with the string input. This should repeat until cancel is pressed, then ord should be sent to the Utskrift-method (a print method).
If I do like this, null is also sent to Utskrift. I dont want that to happen.
If I put StringHandler last in the loop ord can not be resolved.
String text = "";
while (text != null){
text = showInputDialog(null, "Enter text:");
StringHandler ord = new StringHandler(text);
if (text == null){
[Utskrift(ord.getNumber(), ord.getString(), ord.getWords());
break;
}
}

what have I done wrong n the following code? I'm trying to create a new instance carte of object Carti using the constructor and then to insert a row into a table created with SQL.The error I'm getting is:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at Carti.Carti.InsertCarti(Carti.java:103)
at Main.main(Main.java:37)
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 28 seconds)
The line Main.main(Main.java:37) is when I try to insert the row.
The line Carti.Carti.InsertCarti(Carti.java:103) is when I do the
PreparedStatement st = conn.prepareStatement("insert into Carti (Id,titlu"
+ ", descriere, autor, editie, anPublicare) values (?,?,?,?,?,?)");
Here is the code (Main and Carti Classes)
import Carti.Carti;
import Imprumut_Carti.Imprumut_Carti;
import Membrii.Membrii;
import static com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.lib.ExsltDatetime.date;

I've been writing classes over and over for school. So I create a class outside of my main class. I create a new constructor and then create objects from my main class. I hope that makes sense. So i use methods in that class to work with the object. So I have an object name I've created <dot> method name. So I can create objects and then use methods from the class, but I'm wondering can I create a method in my main class and use it on that object? I don't understand how to do that.

I am trying to find either some references to point me on the right track with passing an object with all of it's properties still in tact after it's been created. Currently I am trying to do this through an interface but it seems to just create a new object everytime without the properties. Example below :
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public interface TPerson{
//public Person p = null;
}
class Thrower {
Person p;
[code]....
When I implement the interface on the other objects as soon as I call the setP method shown above it seems to just create a new one even though I pass the object to the method I want to use.

Is there anyway to iterate an enum type without an instance. As some context, consider the following code:
Java Code: public interface GenericChecker
{
public bool isValid(String str);
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java'); Java Code: public class EnumChecker<T extends Enum<T> > extends GenericChecker
{
private Class<T> enumType; //No instance
[code]....
toString method of the enum types has been overridden so that it returns the name assigned to the enum rather than the enum name itself. For example an enum might be SOME_ENUM("Assigned name"), therefore toString returns "Assigned name" rather than "SOME_ENUM". The idea is that a field from a table can be handed to the isValid(String) function on the GenericChecker base, and the derived class will then check to see if the field matches valid data as far as it is concerned.Thus, I can create a whole bunch of checkers easliy:
Java Code: GenericChecker checker1 = EnumChecker<EnumType1>();
GenericChecker checker2 = EnumChecker<EnumType2>();
GenericChecker checker3 = EnumChecker<EnumType3>();
GenericChecker checker4 = SomeOtherChecker(); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
The problem is, if I use the EnumChecker then the expression "enumType.getEnumConstants()" in the isValid function blows up because enumType is null.

What is the correct way of describing the type of instance variables?
It is obvious in the case of a primitive type
Example: private int number;
The (data)type of number is integer.
What if the instance variable is an object or a wrapper?
example: private Person person;
the (data?)type of person is an object of the type/class Person?
example: private Integer number;

This isn't asking to make a Singleton, where I want only one type of a type of window period.
It's not where I want only one instance of the program itself open at a time. It's more along the lines of, though I don't care if there is more than one Microsoft Word open at the same time, I don't want more than one instance of blablabla.docx to be open at once.
In other words, I'd need to scan my system or my list of open windows of a particular type to make sure that no two ones where equals is true will match up.
I was going to do it to associate it with a particular name with a window (it's sort of an addressbook, though not quite.) I'd use a JFrame subclass to make these windows that have a name go with them. For now, unless I find the great need for this project that there might be someone with the exact same name around here, I'm going to use equals() with name on this. I can type cast and whatnot.
However, how do I get to know what windows are open at once so I can check all my list of open windows, and I'd prefer to check only ones of certain types, though I may have to check them all indirectly perhaps, before I check the names.
I'm wondering is it a getChildren() of the main window or something else? How do I know what all of my open windows are?
I'd prefer to have to check as few as possible and not have to check unnecessary ones.
As for the structure of my thing that would click that would open the new window, I'm not sure yet. I'm almost leaning JLabel, though it's a bit less sophisticated, as it might be more difficult to add to a JList (maybe I"m wrong on thinking on that. It's been a little while since I last worked with JLists.)
(I think I can set list data, but the problem is, even using an ArrayList, it only takes an array for this as a param and ArrayList returns an Array of type Object, which means a lot of pesky type casting every time just to add or remove a name.)
It does have Vector, but I thought Vector was being phased out.
Anyway, without having too much code given, as I'm not sure how I'll set this up yet, how do you get access to all of the windows being opened to be able to check them for certain traits?

How do i take input values for TwoDPoint (which are objects) and return it back in numerical values also print them.
When i create an object in main method and pass values to my function of return type TwoDPoint,it gives error:- found int,int need TwoDPoiint,TwoDPoint.
// Here is what i tried to do:
Created class TwoDPoint that contains two fields x, y which are of type int. Defined another class TestTwoDPoint, where a main method is defined.In the main method created two TwoDPoint objects.
Then I modified the class TestTwoDPoint and add another function to it. This function takes two TwoDPoints as input and returns the TwoDPoint that is farthest from the point (0,0).
Then I added another function to TestTwoDPoint. This function takes two TwoDPoints as input and returns a new TwoDPoint whose x value is the sum of x values of the input TwoDPoint's and whose y value is the sum of the y values of the input TwoDPoint's.
class TwoDPoint {
int x = 2;
int y = 4;
}
class TestTwoDPoint {
public static void main(String args[]) {
TwoDPoint obj1 = new TwoDPoint();
System.out.println(obj1.x);
System.out.println(obj1.y);

So I'm fairly new to java and have been learning game development. I've come across this error message on my StartingClass.java coding. Here is the Coding
@Override
public void start() {
bg1 = new Background(0,0); // This line is giving me the error!!!!!!!!!!!
bg2 = new Background(2160, 0);
hb = new Heliboy(340, 360);
hb2 = new Heliboy(700, 360);
robot = new Robot();
Thread thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
The error reads "No enclosing instance of type BackGround is accessible. Must qualify the allocation with an enclosing instance of type BackGround (e.g. x.new A() where x is an instance of BackGround)." Now I have seven classes in my in my games src folder and none of them but the StartingClass.java has the error. Once again I'm fairly new to java and have not benn able to fix it.
These are the classes{
BackGround.java
Enemy.java
Heliboy.java
package-info.java
Projectile.java
Robot.java
StartingClass.java ( errors in this class )

For example I create an object like this:
BankAccount b = new SavingsAccount();
Now lets say that I want to access a method 'addInterest()' that is in the 'SavingsAccount' class I would have to do: '((SavingsAccount)s).addInterest();'
The question I have is why do I have to cast 'b' to SavingsAccount? Isn't the actual object reference of 'b' already an instance of 'SavingsAccount' class? How does the 'BankAccount' affect the object itself? I'm really confused as to what class is truly getting instantiated and how BankAccount and SavingsAccount are both functioning to make the object 'b'.

I don't understand why the object reference variable 'a' cannot be recast from a thisA object reference to a thisB object reference.Is it the case that once a reference variable is linked to a particular object type then it cannot switch object types later on.I am facing the Java Associate Developer exam soon and I am just clearing up some issues in my head around object reference variable assignment,
class thisA {}
class thisB extends thisA { String testString = "test";}
public class CastQuestion2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
thisA a = new thisA();
thisB b = new thisB();

Whenever I call the accelerate method, a value of 5 is to be added to the speed variable. But whenever I call accelerate, it doesn't increase! I just don't understand why not. I've tried different renditions of adding 5 to speed and it doesn't quite work. I don't get any errors when I compile, just runtime, when it doesn't add 5 to speed.

So far in my assignment I have successfully opened a text file. However I am required to do more:
1) As each line of text (containing names and ages) is read a new Runner object is created with its instance variables set thus: ! (Runner class already created )!
- name : set directly set from the value in the file
- agaGroup : can be worked out from the given ages:
< 18 should be 'junior'
> 55 should be 'senior'
the rest should be 'standard'
2) the instance of Runner should be added to the list referenced by the instance variable runners.
I have used if statements to create the junior list, however I do not see the full list of names and ages in the variable runners as I am requested to.
I am sure there is a for loop involved somewhere but I do not know how to:
a) use the for loop in my method
add a new Runner object with the variable mentioned.
I include the code I have done so far as a file - p.s I use Bluej.
public class MarathonAdmin
{
// instance variables
private String runners;
private String age;

Let's pretend I'm working on an RPG. Like in all RPGs, there are items found all throughout the imaginary world. Each player and NPC can obtain an item. My question will concern those items.
In other words, I'd like to use instances of a class in multiple places of the code. Each instance will have its own, individual values of instance variables, with one obvious exception: itemQuantity should have a different value in playerInventory, npcInventory, etc. Also, I'd like a list of all items that can be found in the game. This list doesn't need itemQuantity at all.
class Items {
String itemName;
float itemWeight;
int itemQuantity;
[Code] ....
The question is: should I really make itemQuantity an instance variable of the Item class? It seems as though for each copy of the Item class I should create a separate copy with different value of itemQuantity, but that's not very efficient. Where is the error in my logic?
What's important is that there may be plenty items in a game and a player may be given power to create new items during the course of the game.

so, i was reading my java book and learning about objects and methods and it starts talking about Encapsulation and mentions that it's good practice to set instance variables as private and instead of accessing the instance variables directly, we should create a set method and get method to get and set the stuff we want to pass to the class containing the object...
for example, in this class, we're passing the integer 70 for object dog one and integer 8 for object dog two for the dog class... and these these 2 integers are sent to the setsize method so we're not accessing instance variable size directly.
i dont quite get it though....if we the programmer are the one deciding what size the integer is for the dog, and the setsize method takes the one.setSize(70) or (8) and puts them in setsize(int s) as s... but only to copy that integer stored in s back to private int size.... why do we even need to bother with making these two extra methods such as setSize, getSize?
in the book it says that... well what if the code gets into the wrong hand and someone writes something like one.setSize(0) then you would get a dog with size 0 which is essentially illogical. but then again, i'm the programmer, and i am the person who writes the code and passing the right integer.The reason for public and private... that part i understand... i can see why if a variable's data can get changed amidst the code during calculations and you dont want it to directly change the original variable and have it mess up the code, but this code from the book just a bad example of demonstrating the reason? since we manually pass the information ourselves and passing it to method setSize... and all setSize does is stores it in another integer, only to copy it right away to size (which is the original private variable we were tryign to protect?
Any simple code to demonstrate how the code might end up changing an instance variable and why we would want to protect it by using private?
class GoodDog {
private int size;
public int getSize() {
return size;
}
public void setSize(int s) {
size = s;

I am currently trying to use Junit to test a whole bunch of stuff. I almost have full line coverage but I am getting hung up on testing an if statement that consists of whether or not an object is an instance of another class. This class happens to be an interface, and even the object is an interface. Weird I know but I just want to know how to get into that if statement. I realize testing interfaces might be a waste of time but I still really want to know how. Here is an example of what I am trying to test:
Java Code:
if(x instance of y){ //where x and y are both interface objects
doSomething();
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
