Naming Fields - Longer / More Descriptive Names

Jun 1, 2014

Which is considered clearer and better for naming?

class SpeedAnimation {
//rate to increment frames at 0 speed
public float baseIncrementRate;
//additional rate to increment frames at, scaled by the speed
public float speedIncrementMultiplier;
//current fractional frame index
public float currentFrameIndex;
//give the upper and lower index bounds to animate between
public int startingIndex;
public int endingIndex;
}

vs.

class SpeedAnimation {
//rate to increment frames at 0 speed
public float base;
//additional rate to increment frames at, scaled by the speed
public float multiplier;
//current fractional frame index
public float index;
//give the upper and lower index bounds to animate between
public int start;
public int end;
}

I've always been really elaborate with my names, because I thought that being more descriptive is more precise and lowers the chance that names might clash with each other, but then I noticed that a lot of my code becomes really lengthy and tiring to read, ie.:

float speed = body.getVelocity().len();
float positionIncrement = (baseIncrementRate + speedIncrementMultiplier * speed) * deltaTime;
currentFrameIndex += positionIncrement;
currentFrameIndex = currentFrameIndex % (startingIndex+endingIndex-1) + startingIndex;

JSP :: How To Differ Between Fields That Not Exist To Fields That Are Null

Dec 7, 2014

how to differ between fields that are not exists to fields that are null? because in my api when someone wants to delete a field he sends null instead of a value. and if he doesnt want to effect this feild he doesnt send it.

{
"a" : {"1","2"},
"b" : "hello"
}
{
"a" : null,
"b" : "hello"
}

JSF :: CRUD Application No Longer Allows Edit Function

Mar 28, 2014

I'm using Netbeans IDE and Glassfish application server. I have a JSF CRUD application running with a MySQL database and everything was fine until I was asked to be able to sort a column whose MySQL datatype was Varchar.

Here is my Model for Vehicles:

/*
* To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
* and open the template in the editor.
*/

package entities;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.sql.Date;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Locale;

[Code] ....

So I changed the datatype to Integer and updated my source code to change the column from String to Integer. When the list displays every thing seems good and the rows are sorted according to the column whose datatype I changed to Integer.

However when I then tried to edit nothing works and I get HTTP Status 505 from Glassfish with the error message

javax.servlet.ServletException: HV000030: No validator could be found for type: java.lang.Integer

Split String Function No Longer Works

Jun 23, 2014

I am encountering a problem while running this small piece of code.

public class TestSplit{
public static void main(String[] args){
String myWords[]="My.Home.Is.Being.Painted".split(".");
for(int i=0;i<myWords.length;i++)
System.out.println(myWords[i]+" ");
}
}

The problem is: it does not run at all. No error message is displayed. It just returns to the command prompt when i run it. Where am i wrong?

Naming Objects That Inherit

Apr 28, 2014

I'm making a program in which I'm required to create objects that represent employees. My instructions for the driver say to "Create a new Person [] called staff initialized to the following object - fred, barney, wilma, betty, wilma2." The information such as name, year hired, ID number, etc. is given.I couldn't figure out the syntax to give each employee a specific name, so I just wrote what I knew.

Person[] staff = new Person [5];
staff[0] = new FullTime ("Flintstone, Fred", 2005, "BR-1", 65000.12);
staff[1] = new Adjunct ("Rubble, Barney", 2006, "BR-2", 320, 48.55);
staff[2] = new FullTime ();
staff[3] = new Employee ("Rubble, Betty", 2011, "BR-4");
staff[4] = new FullTime ("Slate, Wilma", 2009, "BR-3", 48123.25);

It works for my methods to calculate things such as number of years of employment and print a paragraph about each employee. The problem is that giving each object a name is actually necessary, since I have to update the default [2] to have information given not in the Person type levels (It goes Person→Employee→Fulltime and Adjunct) but in the driver itself and then compare it to [4]. Wilma is supposed to be [2], and Wilma2 is supposed to be [4]. how to format these objects to have the distinct names (for the objects themselves, not just the string name) of the people?

I want to know if a java class name can be declared as "pack1.ClassName". I know the naming conventions rules. I know that this kind of names are not supposed to be used. But I am just curious of whether Java accepts such kind of names also i want to know if $ClassName, _ClassName are valid for classname and are the being used anywhere in the application development.

Naming Projects In Eclipse (hierarchy)

Jan 27, 2014

Below I've attached a screenshot of how I've been naming my various java projects as I go through my current textbook. I'm not sure if I'm naming them correctly. I'm on chapter 5 of Introduction to Java Programming by Y. Daniel Liang and he is currently discussing methods and classes. I'm not sure what my projects would be considered (methods, classes, or something arbitrary like projects). Further, if I wrote a program, like loanCalculator215 for example, how could i call that in a different program, like primeNumbers?

Java - How To Reject Binary Values Longer Than 32 Bits (User Input)

I am designing a program in-order convert Binary to Decimal values with added features:

Rejecting binary values longer than 32 bits

Prompting the user to make multiple entries after completing the binary to decimal conversion of their first entry. I was trying to code this in Nested For Loops, but I don't know if I've really done that.

Here is what i have so far.

public class BinaryToDecimal {

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
String binary;
int decimal=0b10, i, rem;
boolean isBinary = true;

Naming Objects Depending Of Times A Loop Have Gone

Oct 4, 2014

I know the normal way of naming objects is

Pipe pipe1 = new Pipe

but I want the objects to be made inside a loop and named after how many times the loop have been gone through so I tried

Pipe pipe(numberOfTimes) = new Pipe

where numberOfTimes was a variable counting the loops. This is not working.I need the naming to be pipe1, pipe2, pipe3 etc depending on how many times the loop have been pased

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner (System.in);
String morePipes = ("yes");
int dimRor;
int numberOfPipes = -1;

Extract Higher-order Bits Of Random Number In Order To Get Longer Period

Mar 1, 2014

One of the random number generators in Java extract the higher-order bits of the random number in order to get a longer period.

I'm not sure if I understand how this is done. Suppose that the random number r = 0000 1100 1000 1101. If we extract the 16 most significant bits from r; is the new number r = 0000 1100 or r = 0000 1100 0000 0000?

Order Of Static Fields

Nov 20, 2014

I am unsure of something. In the following class, which is read first; the static field or the main method?

class Test{
static int a = 3;
public static void main(String args []) {
//some code}
}

I put some code in Eclipse and have tried to look at the hierarchy. It would point to all static fields being initialized in order from top to bottom, including the main method.I had thought that the main method was always the first thing in a public class to be initialized, regardless of where in the code it resides. Am I reading the Eclipse hierarchy wrong? I find Eclipse very difficult, especially since I typically code in Textmate. I just want to see how my code is operated upon,

Static Fields And Inheritance

Apr 17, 2014

If I define a class which contains a few static fields, and then have a few classes who inherit this class, then all these classes would have the static field as well. Now my question is the following: would all those sub classes (and the base class itself) share the same object, or would each class have one object for all it's instances?

Sending Values For GUI Fields

Jul 9, 2014

I have a simple class, called InputManager, which has methods that communicate with another class DatabaseManager which has access to Database which is actually object that contains information about actual database.

My JFrame has Navigation class (extends JPanel). There I put all needed JButtons, JLists and so on.. This class has instance of InputManager and when user interacts with GUI components inside of it, Navigation calls InputManager methods, it then analyses the call and calls needed methods on DeviceManager, which then sends queries to Database and etc.

The problem is, that at the beginning (when user runs a program), I want to get information (which is actually values for my GUI components ) from Database. It could, for example, create another DatabaseManager and connect to the Database to get information, but it is okay to have two objects?

I was also thinking about sending same DatabaseManager object through InputManager to Navigation, but it seems strange for me to have two objects, which can interact with each other in both directions(Class A has instance of Class B, and Class B has instance of Class A). Is there anything bad this can do?

Also what I noticed that it seems odd that GUI class would have to get information from database. (Logic in GUI class).

Sorting Objects By A Number Of Fields

Mar 17, 2014

I am trying to find a concise way to write the sort methods for my class. I am supposed to make a program that can sort objects by a number of fields: year, rank, artist and title.

I used an idea from this thread : java - Sorting a collection of objects - Stack Overflow

And I am trying to use the custom comparator for my sort methods. However for some reason, the sortingBy variable fails to recognize any of the enum types.

Whenever I try to set the sortingBy variable equal to one of them, for example:

Java Code:

private Order sortingBy = Year; mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

I get a "Year cannot be resolved to a variable" error.

What I want to be able to do is make it so every time a specific method is called, say, for example sortTitle(), sortingBy will change to Title, then the SongComparator will sort using the case Title.

Is it possible to do this? I can't figure out how to modify SongComparator's object variables that way.

Java Code:

import java.util.Comparator;
public class SongComparator implements Comparator<Song> {
public enum Order {Year, Rank, Artist, Title}
public Order sortingBy;

Sorting Of Multiple Fields Does Not Work

Nov 24, 2014

I am doing the sorting of multiple fields. This sorting requires to sort the emergency numbers first followed by queue time. However, the sorting is fail, which is the emergency numbers are sorted correctly only but not the queue time. I try to figure out the problem but unfortunately I cannot find where the problem is. Below are the codes for my assignment (Please take note that there is no need to check both ListInterface and LList class) :
 
public interface ListInterface<T> {
  public boolean add(T newEntry); 
public boolean add(int newPosition, T newEntry);
  public T remove(int givenPosition);
  public void clear();

[code]....

This is the attachment of the result that I ran earlier:

The first list is before sorting while the second list is after sorting.

Enum Properties / Values / Fields

Jul 11, 2014

So I have an Enum file with 119 constants and each constant of that type has 20 fields that come with it. All the fields are the same type and named the same (e.g. there are 119 of Object obj, one for each constant), and I want to run the same methods over them. Since the Objects of the same type are named the same for each constant, I just have them named explicitly in get-er methods.

This worked fine when I just put all 20 fields through the constructor and set them as fields under all the constants. But I realized that if I wanted to make an instance of this Enum class, I'd have to enter in all 20 fields when they are all a set of Objects with unique values. So I then put them as fields under their own respective constant to make it easier to create instances of this enum. But now my methods don't work.

A) I don't really understand why they don't work anymore?
B) Is there a way to fix it without putting all the methods under each constant?

Example:

public enum MyEnum {
AAA {
private MyObject obj = new MyObject (3.0);
},
BBB {
private MyObject obj = new MyObject (1.5);
},
CCC {
private MyObject obj = new MyObject (6.5);
},
DDD {
private MyObject obj = new MyObject (3.5);
};

public double getObjVal() {
return obj.value(); // it can't find this obj should I move it up to where the constants are declared?
}
}
