Overloaded Constructor Not Being Implemented?

Oct 21, 2014

For some reason, even though I am giving it the correct number of arguments for the constructor to be initalized it doesn't go through. I end up with a compile error:

PatientBuilder.java:17: error:

constructor Patient in class Patient cannot be applied to given types;
Patient aPatient = new Patient(bloodType, rhFactor, ID, age);
^
required: no arguments
found: String,String,int,int
reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length

And I'm not understanding how that's possible when it calls for 2 strings and 2 ints and that's what I am passing.

I have this in my main method Scanner inputDevice = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("What is the patients ID number?");
int ID = inputDevice.nextInt();
System.out.println("What is the patients age?");
int age = inputDevice.nextInt();

[Code] ....

And then here are my two constructors, one default and one overloaded.

public Patient() {
patientBlood = new BloodData();
ID = 0;
age = 0;
bloodType = "O";
rhFactor = "+";

[Code] .....

Ambiguity In Overloaded Functions

Sep 22, 2014

I have an overloaded function 'f' as follows:

1. public void f(int i, long j){System.out.println("1");}
2. public void f(int...i){System.out.println("2");}
3. public void f(long l, long p){System.out.println("3");}
4. public void f(int j, int k){System.out.println("4");}

With the function call: f(1,2), the output is: 4.

My questions are the following:

a. Why is the compiler choosing #4 to execute and not the rest?
b. If I remove 4 and replace it with: 5. public void f(long j, int k){System.out.println("5");}, why does the compiler now give an error complaining of ambiguous function defintions when 'f' is called?

Third Overloaded Method Not Compiling

Feb 16, 2012

Create a class named Commission that includes three variables: a double sales figure, a double commission rate, and an int commission rate. Create two overloaded methods named computeCommission (). The first method takes two double parameters representing sales and rate, multiplies them, and then displays the results. The second method takes two parameters: a double sales figure and an integer commission rate. This method must divide the commission rate figure by 100.0 before multiplying by the sales figure and displaying the commission. Supply appropriate values for the variables, and write a main () method that tests each overloaded method. Save the file as Commission.java

b. Add a third overloaded method to the Commission application you created in Exercise 1a. The third overloaded method takes a single parameter representing sales. When this method is called, the commission rate is assumed to be 7.5% and the results are displayed. To test this method, add an appropriate call in the Commission program's main () method. Save the application as Commission2.java

COMMISSION.JAVA

public class Commission
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double Sales = 10000;
double commRate = 0.075;
int rate = 7;
computeCommission(Sales, commRate);
computeCommission(Sales, rate);
}
public static void computeCommission(double Sales, double commRate)

Overloaded Methods Throwing Exception

Apr 2, 2014

Overloaded methods CAN declare new or broader checked exceptions. We know that FileNotFoundException is a subclass of IOException and according to the above statement an overloaded method cannot throw a narrower exception. But the below code does not throw a compiler error. How?

Animal.java

package pack1;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Animal{
public void drink(int s) throws IOException

Servlets :: How Is RequestDispatcher Implemented

Aug 28, 2014

How to implement a RequestDispatcher, so I checked tomcat's source code, the ApplicationDispatcher class, but there are many places I can't understand.

I found in the ApplicationDispatcher class that the method used to forward request and response to the designated resource is the invoke(ServletRequest,ServletResponse) method, and this part is responsible for executing forward:

support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.BEFORE_DISPATCH_EVENT,
servlet, request, response);
// for includes/forwards
if ((servlet != null) && (filterChain != null)) {
filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
}
// Servlet Service Method is called by the FilterChain
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.AFTER_DISPATCH_EVENT,
servlet, request, response);

I can't understand this part of code, does this mean the RequestDispatcher.forward() and RequestDispatcher.include() methods are all executed in a filterchain? What is the mechanism of it?

Create A Class Which When Implemented Requires To Have HashMap And Methods

Oct 13, 2014

I want to make several classes which extend different objects and add additional functions to simplify them and make their purpose in my projects more narrow and make their instances easier to use. So an example, Image class which extends BufferedImage and the constructor in Image class directly loads the file without having to create it first and then have to use Try Catch and all that additional code. Now, here is where my question comes in. Can I make an class, an abstract class or something which can be IMPLEMENTED into these several classes such as the Image class, and in doing so those several classes will have to have (like unimplemented methods) a HashMap<String key, ChildClass instance_as_value>, child class being the Image class as an example.

So I would have something like public class Image extends BufferedImage implements Library, and this class, because it implements Library will have a HashMap<String key, Image value> in it or it's parent class.

Dequeue Of Queue Implemented Using Circular Singly Linked List With No Tail Reference

Oct 27, 2014

So I'm trying to build a queue, first in first out, (so add to the head remove from the end) using a linked list for use in another program, I'm having a problem dequeueing where the program seems to run indefinitely without giving an answer, so my suspicion is its caught in a while loop but how and why I can't figure out.

public class CircularQueuelist {
private Node head = null;
private int size = 0;
private class Node
{
int data;
Node next;
 
[Code] ....

My logic seems sound, I basically look for when the second node over from the current one I'm on is a reference to the head, and then skip the one in front of it using setting currents. next link to current.next = head, severing the link to the last node.

This is what my driver looks like, I enqueue items 1-10 and then use the iterator to make sure it worked out fine and check size, its when I dequeue that I run into a problem, the program runs indefinitely.

public class Queuetest {
public static void main(String[]args)
{
CircularQueuelist test = new CircularQueuelist();
for (int count = 0; count < 10; count ++)

[Code] ....

Non-Parameter Constructor Calls Two Parameter Constructor

Apr 19, 2014

I was practicing my java skills and came across an exercise in which a non parameter constructor calls a two parameter constructor. I tried a few searches online but they all came back unsuccessful. This is the part I am working on:

public PairOfDice(int val1, int val2) {
// Constructor. Creates a pair of dice that
// are initially showing the values val1 and val2.
die1 = val1; // Assign specified values
die2 = val2; // to the instance variables.
}
public PairOfDice() {
// Constructor that calls two parameter constructor
}

I tried calling the two constructor using the line "this(val1, val2)" but I get an error because val1 and val2 are local variables.

Then I tried to use the same signature: "this(int val1, int val2)" but that didn't work either.

Suppose you have a generic Dog class of the pet type that implements a DogInterface of the pet type. What is the difference between;

DogInterface<pet> Rex = new Dog<pet>();

and

Dog<pet> Tye = new Dog<pet>();

In what situations might you want to use Rex instead of Tye?

Constructor For Arrays

Apr 23, 2015

I'm wonder about the issue of constructor for arrays. Let say I have a class tablica, and one component int[] tab. If I get it right until now tab is nothing more than empty reference to some unexisting array?

import java.util.Random;
class tablica{
int[] tab;
tablica (){ // i wish it was constructor

[code]....

Then, I'm trying to build the constructor for class tablica. What can be the parameter of such constructor? Is it fields of array? It is simple forf for basic variable

- I liken values defined in constructor with those global defined in class. But how to do it with array component tab.

If I create array object in main method then how can I use this constructor?

Cannot Set Ints From Constructor

Aug 10, 2014

Java Code:

package ZooZ;

import java.util.Random;
public class Animal {
int playerOne; <------- Remains 0
int playerTwo; <------- Remains 0
Random random = new Random();

[Code] ....

If you look at the code, I set "playerOne" and "playerTwo", to set them as what was passed in from another class..

In the Animal constructor.

in that constructor the value is 2. But when I use it in the "Bash()" method it is 0 in the console.

Why doesnt the playerOne and playerTwo stay the value it is assigned in the constructor.??

Why Constructor Cannot Be Final

Oct 27, 2014

"A constructor cannot be abstract, static, final, native, or synchronized."

I understand on why it can't be all of the above, except "final".

Why can't we have a final constructor, i understand constructors are not inherited, hence no chance/case of overriding etc. But why is it not allowed at all ?

No Such Constructor Error

No Default Constructor

Nov 2, 2014

The LocalStudent class inherits the Student class. The IDE states an error of "no default constructor in Student class".I understand that if a LocalStudent object is created, the default constructor of its superclass (aka Student class) will be called implicitly.there is no LocalStudent object being created, so why is the default constructor of Student being called ?

The default constructor of LocalStudent is also overloaded by the created no-arg constructor containining subjects = null; . So there is no call to the superclass default constructor from the default constructor of LocalStudent.

public class Student {
private char year1;
public Student(String name, char year){
year1 = year;
}
public char getYear(){
return year1;

Due to this its always generating InvalidRadiusException even if i am supplying a non-zero non-negative value.

Stuck On Constructor With Parameters

Mar 19, 2014

How to use a constructor with parameters where the user inputs the information? I'm doing a problem where I create a Delivery class that accepts arguments for the year, delivery number within the year, distance code (1 for short distance, 2 for long), and weight of package. The constructor is supposed to also determine the eight digit delivery number (combining the year and delivery number, like 20140054 for this year, package #54).

I know I'm not close to being done but I'm struck on the application with the constructor parameters. If I'm asking the user to input the information, does that mean I have to create a no argument constructor so it will compile? Right now it won't compile because it's asking for the parameters but I can't put them.

This is the class:

public class Delivery {
int year;
int delNum;
double weight;
int code;

[Code] .....

And the error is:

CreateDelivery.java:22: error: constructor Delivery in class Delivery cannot be applied to given types;
Delivery firstDelivery = new Delivery();
^
required: int,int,int,double
found: no arguments
reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length

Returning Data From A Constructor?

Sep 1, 2014

I'm having an issue returning data from a constructor. This is an assignment, and the specifications were that two classes are to be used, one for the variables and assigning methods, and one for the main method and the printing. This app compiles, but returns "0" for the isbn number, and I'm sure it's because I'm not doing something right with my constructors. My code is below

public class Book {
/* Declare Variables */
public static int isbn;
/* Constructor */
public Book (int isbn) {
isbn = 454545;

[code]....

There are other variables to add, but if I can get one working, I can get the rest working.

Sending Two Strings Into A Constructor

Jun 13, 2014

I did this using ArrayList<String> and my tests worked. Meaning I was able to read the strings in a different class through my constructor. However I want to use a string array because it will be easier to handle when I finish the program. I will send each players poker hand in and figure out who is the winner instead of putting it all onto a ArrayList and having to iterate through it. However whenever I did my check I am just printing null.

PokerFile class

void separateHands(String cards) {
//ArrayList<String>playerOne = new ArrayList<String>();
//ArrayList<String>playerTwo = new ArrayList<String>();
String[] playerOne = new String[10];
String[] playerTwo = new String[10];
 
[Code] .....

ignore the boolean methods I was just building the structure of the program. The print file is what is outputting this:

null
null
null
null
null
null

public class WinningHand extends PokerFile {
//ArrayList<String> p1 = new ArrayList<String>();
//ArrayList<String> p2 = new ArrayList<String>();
String[] p1 = new String[6];
String[] p2 = new String[6];
WinningHand(String[] p1,String[] p2)

Return Statement In A Constructor

Jan 8, 2014

What is the difference between two statements:

Class1 class1 = new Class();
class1 = Class2.method1();

and

Class1 class1 = Class2.method1();

I have one more query on the same lines ... I always need to call the method1 of Class2 whenever i create a object of class1. So I wanted to go with the constructor in Class1. But the method1 in Class2 has a return statement. so is there any better way to do this other than constructors.

Sample code:

public int class Class2{
public static method1(){
return 2;
}
}
public class Class1{
public Class1(){
Class2.method1();

How To Get A Variable From Constructor Into Another Method

I am having an issue with a small part of my project. i am supposed to make a hash table with a file containing words. The file is being passed into my constructor, where i basically just all it "filename" of type string. Im supposed to get the contents of the file and put it into the table. the problem I'm having is making the connection between my constructor and a method called "start" which basically does all the work. Im not sure how to go by doing this, how could i use the variable "filename" from my constructer in my start method?:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class WordCount {
//private fields, including your HashMap variable
HashMap<String,Object> hmap =new HashMap<String,Object>();//(table size,load factor)
public WordCount( String infileName){
String filename =infileName;
