Tracking Constructor To See If It Recreate Object

Aug 2, 2014

that i started to learn programming and i started with java. so there is a book that i'm on it right now called "Pearson Absolute Java 5th Edition" by Walter Savitch anyway i'm on a project in fifth season which i have to create a class named HotDogStand that operates several hotdog stands distributed throughout town. the whole program is clear. although its so easy to accomplish , my question is more about debugging. so here is the code:

public class HotDogStand
{
private int id; //id number of hotdog stand
private int hotDogsPerDay; //hotdogs sold by one stand
private static int totalHotDogs; //the static value for total hotdogs sold by all the stands
public HotDogStand (int newID, int hotDogsPerDay) {
this.id = newID;
this.hotDogsPerDay = hotDogsPerDay;
totalHotDogs += hotDogsPerDay; //to add the value every time the user uses the constructor (every time the user creates an object)

[code]....

everything works fine. but my question is what if someone use a constructor again? you see if in the main method someone do this after creating the object "stand3":

HotDogStand stand3 = new HotDogStand(3, 43);
stand3 = new HotDogStand(3,40);

i know that it's logical to use setter method but this program doesn't have one. if someone do the thing i wrote above, the calculation of static variable, totalHotDogs will be all wrong. because of totalHotDogs += hotDogsPerDay; it will add another value for the same object. how can i tell the machine to ignore the second (or more) invocation of the constructor for the same object?

Why Put Other Objects In Object Constructor

Jun 6, 2014

When using Java Code:

Scanner scan = new Scanner(system.in) mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

Why do we put System.in in the constructor? What purpose does it serve and why can't we just not use it?

How To Have Unlimited Object Parameters In Constructor

Nov 21, 2014

I want to create an order system. My Problem is that I want to create it dynamic, with ArrayLists and no fixed Array size.

Basically I have already a User which is able to purchase something.

User a = new User();
Car car = new Car("blue",500);
a.purchase(new Order(new OrderThing(5,car));

This will work!

But I want something like this:

a.purchase(new Order(new orderThing(5,car), new orderThing(2,car), new OrderThing(1,car),...)

Basically I don't know how much OrderThings I want to create before I type in the OrderThings with new Order().

But in java it is before you can construct orderThings you must already know in the constructer how much objects you do want.

Now as im writing this question I got a idea of waiting for an Array of new OrderThing but it don't work. When I write

a.purchase(new Order(new orderThing(5,car), new orderThing(2,car)))

it wants a constructor which is based on Order(orderThing,orderThing)

What Does Creating ArrayList Object In A Constructor Mean

Mar 22, 2014

import java.util.ArrayList;
public class LectureRoom{
private String courseName;
private String roomNumber;
private String Lecturer;
private ArrayList <Student> studentList;

[Code] .....

Question:

Given the following BlueJ class diagram

Lecturer class (same with previous lab, no changes needed)
Student class (same with previous lab, no changes needed)

LectureRoom (changes occurs here)

1. LectureRoom has roomNumber (e.g. A301), courseName (e.g. Java), lecturer (a reference to a Lecturer object), and studentList (a reference to an ArrayList that stores Student object).
2. LectureRoom has a constructor that receives courseName, roomNumber, and Lecturer. The constructor then sets/assign the courseName, roomNumber and Lecturer. This constructor also creates the studentList arraylist object.

Super Constructor Call - Creating Object

Sep 18, 2014

Its written that every constructor calls its super class constructor. And we know, constructors are called to create an object. Does it mean that if I am creating an object of a class, I am actually creating objects of all its super class???

How To Create Object To Be Null If Class Constructor Parameter Is Int

Mar 8, 2015

I have a class of Date with a constructor with 3 parameters in it. Those 3 parameters are int data type just to enter month, year, day.

I have another class called Author which has a constructor of Date diedDate; as a parameter passing to the Author constructor.

I was asked to call the Date parameter is null, call the default constructor but I thought for the Date parameter I could only enter something like 0,0,0 instead of typing in null, null, null because null is for String data type isn't it?

Create A New Instance Carte Of Object Carti Using Constructor

Mar 30, 2014

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;

Maze Game - Tracking Objects / Limit Movement

Jan 26, 2015

I made a kind of maze game that includes the class keylistener and orients a object, i can't find where the program tracks this object (where its x and y coordinates are). So now my object can move freely through all walls and i want it to bounce back or at least something to happen when the object reaches a wall.

I want to find a way to limit my objects movement and because i cant find where the coordinates or variable for this object is i cannot limit its movement

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.

Equals Method - Take Object Reference And Return True If Given Object Equals This Object

Mar 28, 2014

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?

Get Object Strings To Print In List So That User Can Select That Object To Manipulate Its Attributes

Oct 7, 2014

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");

Inheritance Relationship Between Type Of Actual Object And Object Reference?

Apr 15, 2014

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'.

Object Reference Variable Unwilling To Be Reset To A Different Object Type

Nov 6, 2014

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();

Create Object Deriving From PrintingClass And Use That Object To Print Text

Apr 9, 2014

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);
}
}

Practical Use Of Multiple Object References Pointing To Same Object

Dec 27, 2014

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);
