For object relational database, the starting point could be the classes or the ER diagram. Still I have doubts as to how you can map variable length to table column field length. For example if i declare an int then I am not stating its length. How it could be resolved?
Create an equals method that takes an object reference and returns true if the given object equals this object.
Hint: You'll need 'instanceof' and cast to a (Geocache)
So far I have:
public boolean equals(Object O){ if(O instanceof Geocache){ Geocache j=(Geocache) O; if (this.equals(j)) //I know this is wrong... but I can't figure it out return true; }
else return false; }
I think I have it correct up to the casting but I don't understand what I'm suppose to do with the this.equals(). Also I'm getting an error that I'm not returning a boolean... I get this all the time in other problems. I don't get why since I have to instances of returning booleans in this. "returns true if the given object equals this object" makes no sense to me. I assume the given object, in my case, is 'O'. What is 'this' object referring to?
I am new to Java and have read books, the Java docs, and searched the Internet for my problem to no avail. I have an Array of objects that contains strings. How can I get the object's strings to print in a list so that the user can select that object to manipulate its attributes? For example, the user can select "Guitar 1" from a list and manipulate its attributes like tuning it, playing it, etc. I have a class called Instruments and created 10 guitar objects.Here is the code:
Instrument [] guitar = new Instrument[10]; for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { guitar[0] = new Instrument("Guitar 1"); guitar[1] = new Instrument("Guitar 2"); guitar[2] = new Instrument("Guitar 3"); guitar[3] = new Instrument("Guitar 4"); guitar[4] = new Instrument("Guitar 5"); guitar[5] = new Instrument("Guitar 6");
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();
I am trying to get this to where I can type in a name and it will search through each object and print back the corresponding object info.
Java Code:
import java.util.Scanner; public class MyPeople { public static void main(String[] args) { Person[] p = new Person[] { new Person("Chris", 26, "Male", "NJ", "Single"), new Person("JoAnna", 23, "Female", "NJ", "Single"), new Person("Dana", 24, "Female", "NJ", "Single"), new Person("Dan", 25, "Male", "NJ", "Single"), new Person("Mike", 31, "Male", "NJ", "Married") };
Task:The main method of the class Things below creates an object called printer deriving from the class PrintingClass and uses that object to print text. Your task is to write the PrintingClass class.
Program to complete: import java.util.Scanner; public class Things { public static void main(String args[]) { String characterString; Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in); PrintingClass printer = new PrintingClass(); System.out.print("Type in the character string for printing: "); characterString = reader.nextLine(); printer.Print(characterString); } }
// Write the missing class here
Note: In this exercise the solution is part of a conversion unit where many classes have been declared. Because of this the classes are not declared as public using the public attribute.
Example output
Type in the character string for printing: John Doe
John Doe
My Class: class PrintingClass { public void print(){ System.out.println(characterString); } }
I have just started working with linked lists. I have a linked list of Objects and I want to be able to search for a specific object. But currently my code continues to return false. Also how would I go about removing the first index of the linked list.
public static void main(String[] args) { LinkedList<Cookies> ml = new LinkedList<>(); int choice = 0; while (choice >= 0) { choice = menu();
I am reading Head First: Java and got to Object References. In the book I got a little bit confused on what happens when two object reference's point at the same object so I wrote a small crude test, the below code. This of course clarified what happens but what I am interested in knowing is in what circumstances would you want to have two separate references for the same object when you could just use the original? Eg. v1
class ObjectValue{ int objVal = 1; } class ObjectValueTestDrive{ public static void main(String [] args){ // "Value of v# should be" refers to if it copied the given object values, instead of referencing the same object ObjectValue v1 = new ObjectValue(); System.out.println("Value of v1 should be 1:" + " "+ v1.objVal);
Explain anonymous objects with example clearly...i read some where anonymous objects advantage is saving memory...it is benificiable when there is only one time object usage in our program..i can't understand one time usage of object ....i know anonymous objects but i don't know in which context we use them in our programs...i did the anonymous object program with my own example but i can't differentiate this one with normal object..i'm providing my own example below
//anonymous object public class anonymous { int x=10; int y=25; void display() { System.out.println("anomymous");
What I want to do is have a label that is updated whenever an object gets some new, relevant data.The way you do it in Java looks different from the way we do it in Objective-C. In Objective-C, we have what's known as a protocol. An Objective-C protocol is almost exactly like a Java "implementation." In Obj-C, if I want the user to see the address of where he is, I can have an object that gets the information and invokes a view controller's method; at that point, the view controller would then take the data passed to it and display the data in a label. However, the view controller is an instance of a subclass of the bundled view controller class.
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.
I've been trying to learn Java for the last 36 hours or so (after applying for a HTML/CSS job saying "Java knowledge preferred"), and decided to experiment a bit making a graphical tic-tac-toe game. I eventually managed to get that done and it's working. Working code below:
[Java] tic tac toe 1 - Pastebin
So, it works to an extent, however, the way I am capturing which cell is selected seems very sloppy, and would not work if the cells weren't squares or rectangles. So I made a copy of the project and restructured it adding the mouse event to the cells, but now I can't get JComponent to repaint. New code below:
tic tac toe 2 - Pastebin
Curiously, clicking triggers the action for all 9 cells, but I presume it's because I haven't bounded them making it think I've clicked all 9 simultaneously.
What I've tried:
Make the Cell class extend the game class and call this.repaint()- causes stack overflow.
Calling Game.GameState() within the cell clicking event and making that function static - compiler doesn't like calling repaint() inside a static function.
Making another class to make a clone of the Game object and then refresh- was never going to work....
I have stumbled onto a problem with ArrayLists (not sure if nested ArrayList objects would be a more accurate description) ....
As simply put as I can describe it, I have an Inventory class which creates an ArrayList of a Product superclass, which has two subclasses, PerishableProduct and ItemisedProduct.
By default, the program is meant to have a starting inventory, which is why I have added them in the constructor
public class Inventory { private List<Product> products; public Inventory() { addProduct(new Product("Frying pan", 15, 20)); addProduct(new PerishableProduct("Apple", 5.8, 30, 7)); addProduct(new ItemisedProduct("Cereal", 5.8, 0)); // this is where I am having problems. Wanting to add // objects to the ItemisedProduct's ArrayList for cereal. }
Within the ItemisedProduct subclass is yet another ArrayList which is meant to hold serial numbers.
public class ItemisedProduct extends Product { private ArrayList<String> serialNumbers = new ArrayList(); public ItemisedProduct(String name, double price, int qty) { super(name, price, qty)
[Code] .....
My problem is that I do not know how to populate the serialNumbers ArrayList from the Inventory class' constructor. Because technically, quantity is defined by how many serial numbers are created.
"You might wonder what happens when a static synchronized method is invoked, since a static method is associated with a class, not an object. In this case, the thread acquires the intrinsic lock for the Class object associated with the class. "What is a Class object associated with a class. Google search rather finds material about the Object class.
Assuming that we have two classes B and C which inherit from class A. What is the best way to pass a parameter from an object of class B to an object of class C by the use of class A without using static variable and without defining a get function in B?
I remember, it's possible to collect multiple parameters from each line in a .txt file (with commas used as delimiters to separate each parameter on each line). My EmployeeData.txt file looks like this:
The validation of making sure the employee uses the correct format while entering his employee number is just the first part. I also need to add validation code to make sure his employee number matches one of the ones in the EmployeeData.txt file (shown earlier above).
I am trying out jsp and servlets now for the first time. I have to insert two data, car code and car name into a mysql table. I got those details using jsp but if I use form, it redirects to another page for insertion. I want the data to be inserted and still remain in same jsp page. I am thinking of using onClick from javascript but as I googled this many places have said it is a bad idea to use jsp inside javascript. If so how can we insert data to mysql table without redirecting to another page?
