From the tutorial:instance variables can be declared in class level before or after use.But the code below does not compile. Why?
Java Code:
public class MainApp {
i=5;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
int i;
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
As web server has multiple threads to serve client requests in Thread Pool & to ensure Thread Safety we should not use any variables or Objects at Instance/Class level.But in case of Session Variable which one is the Best Practice as the Session object is used by all the requests to have the same Session ID.
My Code :
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(ClientRegistrationServlet.class);
private HttpSession session; /* This is used at Instance Level*/
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
[code]....
if I declare
class Example
{
int x=10;
......
}
It is not showing any error but when I declare
class Example
{
int x;
x=10;
............
}
it showing compile time error ....
I am having some problem accessing variables from an array instance of a class. Heres what i have done;
In the main class:
Example obj[]= new Example[4];
In the main class constructor:
obj[0] = new Example(0);
obj[1] = new Example(1);
obj[2] = new Example(2);
obj[3] = new Example(3);
In the main update() method:
if(condition)
//update
In the Example class constructor:
private boolean change = false;
In the Example class update() method:
if(x >20)
change= true;
Now, i want to access the variable change from the main class, how do i do it? The 'condition' in the if statement is the condition of wether the change variable ia true or false. How do i access it?
I have to create an application that deals with maps.
I first have to create the instance variables for the class.
So very simply if my hashmap is going to consist of football clubs and players. Football clubs being a string value for the key and players being a set of strings for the values. How would I go about creating the instance variable in a class for this?
I can't seem to find anything that specifically deals with instance variables and constructors for maps.
Creating a class. Specification are given as:
Create a class called Employee that includes three pieces of information as instance variables:
-Employee ID (string type)
-first name (string type) (default value 'John')
-last name (string type) (default value 'Smith') and
-monthly salary (type double).
-No argument constructor that initializes the three instance variables. The employee id should be generated using the following process:
The employee id should be a combination of first initial, last initial and a number starting from 10001 for the first employee and increasing by one for each employee. e.g. if John Smith is the first employee then its id will be JS10001 and if George Brown is the second employee then its id will be GB10002
-Provide get and set methods for each instance variable. The set method for monthly salary should ensure that its value remains positive - if an attempt is made to assign a negative value, leave the original value.
public class Ball {
private int a=show();
int b;
Ball()
{
b=20;
}
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception {
System.out.println(new Ball().a);
}
private int show()
{System.out.println(b);
return b;
}
}
I wanted to know when are the objects created ? when are they initialized? and how is show() getting called without any reference or "this" ?
How do you declare methods for a class within the class whilst objects of the class are declared else where?
Say for instance, I have a main class Wall, and another class called Clock, and because they are both GUI based, I want to put a Clock on the Wall, so I have declared an instance object of Clock in the Wall class (Wall extends JFrame, and Clock extends JPanel).
I now want to have methods such as setClock, resetClock in the Clock class, but im having trouble in being able to refer to the Clock object thats been declared in the Wall class.
Is this possible? Or am I trying to do something thats not possible? Or maybe I've missed something really obvious?
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;
[Code] ....
I have the following 2 classes:
class Address {
private int a;
public void set_a(int a) {
this.a = a;
}
}
class Person {
private Address address;
}
How do i access the method set_a() (through the "address" in Person) from another class which contains main() ?
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;
Do inherited methods use their instance variables or do they use the ones in the method that inherits them?
For example, Class B extends Class A. Class A and B both have the instance variable "potato". A client program tries to use method "cut" using an object of Class B, but class B has no cut method. So, class B uses the "cut" method inherited from class A. What I want to know is will that cut class A's potato or class B's?
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;
[code]...
why overridden doesn't apply to variables. However, instance variables are stored inside the object.I ran below program and expected to print "two" but it gets printed "one".
class SupCont {
String s = "one";
}
class Cont extends SupCont {
public static void main(String a[]) {
String s = "two";
SupCont c = new Cont();
System.out.println(c.s);
}
}
I am suppose to create a rectangle and I have created two classes; Rectangle.java and RectangleTester.Java.
So far my code for the class Rentangle.java is:
package edu.sbcc.hw2;
public class Rectangle {
private int width = 25;
private int height = 25;
public rectangle(int xcoord, int ycoord, int thewidth, int theheight) {
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
}
public int getWidth() {
return width;
So for my assignment I need two instance variables for height and width for which I have, but it says in the assignment I need methods (settings and getters /mutators and accessors that allow manipulation of my instance variables which is a little confusing. Do I put these methods on Rectangle.java or RectangleTester.java.
The same goes for the calculateArea, where am I suppose to put this?
Can we set the class path for one level down the current directory? My structure is like
binlibresourceshexicon.cmdinside the folder dist.
In this case I could run the .cmd file which has java -cp .;lib;resources client.Test .
c: rycpdist>java hexicon.cmdBut if i put the .cmd file inside bin as like this and run as
c: rycpdistin>java hexicon.cmdI am getting this error Error: Could not find or load main class
Is there any possibility to set the class path in this case
I thought static methods could never use instance variables, because they wouldn't know which instance to look at.
From Head First Java, p. 284: "A static method is not associated with a particular instance - only the class - so it cannot access any instance variable values of its class. It wouldn't know which instance's values to use."
Now I was answering some mock exam questions from Cameron McKenzie's SCJA book, and I don't understand one of the options. On page 205, the last question has an option that says: "Instance variables ... are not visible in static methods, unless passed in as arguments." This option is supposed to be correct. Now... how does that work?
While reading the design patter book, i got one doubt ,There is a List an interface having sub classes ArrayList, LinkedList etc.,
Q1) My question is Why they declared the List as interface rather than Abstract class?
Q2) i read some site -
List l = new ArrayList(); Why it is GOOD line?
ArrayList l = new ArrayList() ; Why it is BAD line?
Answer required with detailed information for Q1 and Q2.
Does child class gets a copy of the methods and variables of parent class?
public class test1 {
public static void main(String a[]) {
Child c = new Child();
c.print();
[Code] ....
why is the output 1?
Can I declare a class as
public static final?
Because I can declare a variable as public static final pi=3.14;
Java Code:
package Threads;
// THIS PROGRAM WILL HAVE TWO THREADS i.e. "main" AND ANOTHER THREAD (SYSTEM WILL NAME IT "Thread-0"
//THE STORY IS THAT WE WILL START Thread-0 FROM main AND LET IT EXECUTE.
//main WILL WAIT AND LET IT EXECUTE FOR 5 MINUTES.
//IF IT FINISHES ITS EXECUTION BEFORE 5 MINUTES, WELL AND GOOD;
//BUT IF IT DOESN'T, WE WILL INTERRUPT IT.
//AFTER INTERRUPTION, WE WILL DECIDE TO WAIT INDEFINITELY.
public class SimpleThreadsCopy {
public static void threadMessage(String s){
String sThreadName= Thread.currentThread().getName();
System.out.format("%s: %s%n", sThreadName, s);
[Code] ....
The statement against which I have written many *'s gives the following error.
No enclosing instance of type SimpleThreadsCopy is accessible. Must qualify the allocation with an enclosing instance of type SimpleThreadsCopy (e.g. x.new A() where x is an instance of SimpleThreadsCopy).
Now that a similar "error-free" code is given here, what's wrong with this piece of code and what should I do about it?
Trying to understand the error statement, I replaced the erroneous statement with
Java Code : Thread t= new Thread(new SimpleThreadsCopy().new MessageLoop()); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
And the error got fixed. From that I understand that the inner class is just kinda a nonstatic member of the outer class and it will be accessed by the objects of the outer class only.
But then why doesn't the code in the tutorial give an error?
I'm having trouble to fully understand the difference between instance and class variables.
I though it was all about the static, i.e:
int age; // instance variable
static int age; // class variable
What's behind this?
So in the code below I create an instance of my own triangle class and use one of its methods. The thing is I use one of my triangle classes methods in a method other the main method of my main program so I'm thinking it can't access it?
Any way here's the code for my triangle class
import java.util.Scanner;
public class QudratullahMommandi_Triangle_06 {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
private double side1;
private double side2;
private double side3;
[Code] ....
and here's the error message
QudratullahMommandi_S_06.java:46: error: cannot find symbol
{ triangle1.outPut();
^
symbol: variable triangle1
location: class QudratullahMommandi_S_06

Okay, so I have to create a class with instance data and instance methods.
First, BankAccount class. It should contain the following information, stored in instance variables:
First name: The customer's first name.
Last name: The customer's last name
Balance: The amount of money the customer has in the account.
It should have the following methods:
BankAccount(String firstName, String lastName,
double openingBalance)
This constructor creates a new BankAccount
public String firstName()
Returns the customer's first name
public String lastName()
Returns the customer's last name
public double balance()
Returns the customer's account balance
Finally I need to create a driver to test my class. And create several accounts and verify that the first name, last name, and balance methods work properly. This is my code below.. I don't know if I did it right.
public class BankAccount {
String firstName, lastName;
double balance;
public BankAccount(String firstName, String lastName, double balance) {

I'm reading about threads In Head First Java and the way an Instance of a class that Implements Runnable Is created confuses me a little.
public class MyRunnable implements Runnable ......
Runnable ThreadJob = new MyRunnable();
I thought I had to use this syntax :
MyRunnable ThreadJob =new MyRunnable();
