What Does Static Private Actually Mean

Mar 19, 2015

So I'd like to know what all the statement, not sure if it's the correct way of calling them but I'd like to know what like all of those purple-ish colored words in eclipse actually mean.Here's what I know so far, so if you can add some stuff to it or just correct me:

public - can be accessed by different classes.
private - can't be accessed by different classes.
static - adds a '.' which pretty much lets you like use methods on it? Not really sure about this one.
final - a final value of a variable meaning it couldn't and willn't change?
super - I have no clue, maybe something that has to be executed first? Not sure.
void - bassicly you don't have to use return as it doesn't return any value.
this - Uh-.. I think it has something to do with the class this keyword has been entered into, not quite sure what it does though.

I assume there are alot more but I am just not sure about these common ones, what the actually do and what's their purpose?

Private JTextField Update

Jan 22, 2015

I am creating a slot machine using eclipse. I am trying to get the "winnings" JTextField to be updated in a way so that when the random images have been selected it adds to the number that is already displayed in the JTextField as opposed to what it is doing at the minute which is just displaying how much was won on that particular spin. I am also struggling to set a code for when noting is won, nothing is added. My code is below.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.Timer;

Each Class Contain Private Variable

Sep 22, 2014

I'm working on a project that contains multiple classes. Each class contains and must contain only PRIVATE variables. Here's my issue. When my test code calls for a new instance of "StudentClass" as so:

StudentClass studentClass = new StudentClass(offeredClass.getClassIdNumber(),
offeredClass.getClassName(),
offeredClass.getClassroom());

The corresponding constructor won't let me initialize it's variables because they are declared private within another class, as shown here:

StudentClass (float classIdNumber, String className, Classroom room){
this.classIdNumber = classIdNumber;
this.className = className;
this.room = room;
}

When getClassName, getClassroom, and getClassIdNumber are passed to a toString() method elsewhere in my test code. the output is returned just fine. When passed through the StudentClass, I'm getting Null across the board.

Inheritance And Private Methods

Jul 6, 2014

The first is clear , new Person().printPerson(); displays Person but for the second : new Student().printPerson(); it accesses the Student constructor that points to the Person class => object. It builds the Person instance then goes back to the Student constuctor .Both methods are private and to my knowledge invisible one to the other , except that you cant run the the Person one because it's private so the only one in the Student class is the Student one . Guess it 's incorrect , but why ? (is because private methods cant be overriden and somehow the super class one always has priority ? , even if it's private?)

public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Person().printPerson();
new Student().printPerson();

Java - Private Arrays / Integers?

Jan 16, 2015

I have a project for a class where I'm supposed to be something with private arrays and private integers and I still don't understand the point of private anything within java. if I want to change a variable I'll change it. if I want it to stay the same I'll leave it the same. so what point is all this private/public nonsense unless I'm trying to stop hackers or something?

Error - ArrayList Has Private Class

Jan 30, 2015

Java Code:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Problem1
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

[Code] ....

There is an error and says that my ArrayList has private access. I can't figure out how to fix it.

The code runs but when I enter "Quit", the program just stops. The arraylist isn't printed out?

Private Variables In Class / Constructor

Jan 7, 2014

When creating a class with a constructor, why does one have to create private variables (attributes) to be used as parameters by the object? The object's parameters will be set to be exactly equal to the private variables (attributes), so what is the point of having the private variables (attributes) Why are both private variables (attributes) and parameters needed when they are set to be equal each other anyway?

Does Encapsulation Mean That Variables By Default Need To Be Private

Apr 9, 2015

I just recently started learning about encapsulation, how to set variables private and only accessible to other classes through setters() and getters(). I've seen a couple of programming examples, perhaps not enough but some from here, and I sort of built the assumption that by default all variables need to be private. to make things more clear, here's a card dealer I made which simply

1- generates a fulll deck of 52 cards
2- lets user decide how many players, with 5 as Max number allowed as each player is dealt 10 cards.
3- deal cards

I approached this by making A deck , card , player and game class

import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Deck {
//an Object of this Class would generate a full deck ie an ArrayList of 52 Cards
private String[] suits={"Spades","Diamond","Clubs","Hearts"};
private int[] number={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13};
ArrayList<Cards> deck= new ArrayList<Cards>();

[code]....

I can understand why for example Deck class's suit and number arrays are set to private , as they only need to be accessed by this class only. however, both the Deck class's deck arraylist and the Player class arraylist are not private, as I need to transfer these values from one to the other and it felt to me that setting them to private would make it more difficult to deal with them, but what I did instead is to set the Game class dealCard(), which is the only method that have access to them as private. does this achieve the same effect or do I need to set both of these arrayList to private?a follow up question, this is more related to the actual card dealer program, in this code

private void dealCards(){

for(int x = 0 ; x < playerCount ; x++){
for(int y = 0 ; y < 10; y++){
playerList.get(x).pile.add(deck.deck.get(0));
deck.deck.remove(0);
}
}
}

is there an API in ArrayList class that moves(adds to receiver and remove from giver) element across ArrayLists?

Accessing Private From Driver Class

May 14, 2015

I came across the below

1) When a variables are declared "Private" How should it be accessed from the driver class ? Sometimes i get an error in driver class saying "your variable is declared Private" why am I getting this error ...

The document says "Private" declared variables should be accessed only through methods. What does that mean.

As below code showing that you cannot directly access the private variable as i understood,  
 
public class EncapsulationDemo{   private int ssn;

I have a class named Base and a private variable named _hopcount i have 10 instances of class base i use _hopcount as creteria to some if but other instances edit _hopcount so i want to prevent _hopcount edit by other instances; I want to have private variable which other instances of same class can't modify it.

public class Base extends TypedAtomicActor {

Object / Methods - Private Instance Variables

Jun 30, 2014

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]...

Creating A Constructor Without Private Implementations Only Methods?

Jul 14, 2014

I thought you can only create a new object using private implementations and then using a constructor to set your arguments inside the parameters of the constructor to the instance variables but how come he created an object without any private implementations and just methods inside the constructor.

import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class MyWindow extends JFrame {
public static void main(String[]args){
new MyWindow();
}
public MyWindow(){
setSize(500,500);
setVisible(true);
setTitle("MyWindow");
}
}

Assigning Private Variables Values From Constructor

Jun 13, 2014

I am able to get output from my constructor when I place a loop inside of it. However when I try to access the private variable that I thought was set by the constructor I get nothing. When I check its size it is zero as well.

Java Code:

public class WinningHand extends PokerCalculator {
private int p1Size;
private int p2Size;
private String[] p1Hand = new String[p1Size];
private String[] p2Hand = new String[p2Size];

Comparison Of Array Values From Other Private Class

May 24, 2014

I got a task from my teacher and the restriction is we are not able to modify this class (and that is the problem).This is the given class:

public class Jobs {
private intcounter= 0;
private final intnoElements= 20;
private final int[]a= { 11, 28, 31, 42, 49, 66, 67, 75, 89, 100, 102, 103, 114, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150, 155 };
private final int[]s= { 20, 9, 7, 6, 12, 15, 4, 7, 30, 22, 11, 45, 20, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 };

[code]...

I need to compare some of the values of the given arrays. For example: if(a[4]<a[2])... etc.

How can I do these kind of operations to a private array? I have to compare the values in an new classPS: I have to compare the values in a new class

Private Members Cannot Be Accessed In Derived Class

Jul 3, 2014

When we say derived class that means copy of base class plus subclass specific implementations. But when it comes to private members it cannot be accessible in subclass scope. Does it mean byte code generated for subclass doesn't has byte code of private members of super class ?

Private Variable With Type Of Abstract Class

Oct 10, 2014

I've got an abstract class

public abstract class AbstractClass
{
//stuff
}

And a few classes that inherit from it

public class Class1 extends AbstractClass
{
//stuff
}
public class Class2 extends AbstractClass
{
//stuff
}

within another class I have a private variable with the type of the Abstract class, and within one of the methods I assign an object to the the variable like this:

public class Test
{
private AbstractClass temp;
public testMethod(){
Class1 anObject = new Class1();
temp = anObject;
}
}

Is this legal? Will temp become a Class1 object?

Private Var Won't Save Value Of Public Getter Function From Base C

Sep 15, 2014

I'm working on this program for a class to create objects of a commissioned employee and union employee. Everything seems to work ok, but when I run my final pay calculation, one of my getter functions will not pass the variable for the pay into a class specific variable called check. here is the code in this function.

public void finalPayCal_U() {
setweekPay();//calculates weeks pay under 40 hours, stored in getweekpay
check = getweekPay();
if(getHours() > 40){
check = check + (1.5 * (getHours() - 40) * getRateOfPay());
}
check =- Dues;
}
}

The issue lies in check = getweekPay();

I thought this was a legal move, but I can't get it to work. It doesn't come back with anything more than 0 any time I run it.

All of these functions are out of the base class, employee (this function itself lives in the derived union class)

public void setweekPay() {
if (hours <= 40) {
weekPay = hours * rateOfPay;
} else {
weekPay = 40 * rateOfPay;
}
}

When I run, this function works as it returns the value when i print it to test.

however, when I do the part that says check = getWeekPay() above, it doesn't change the check variable. The only thing I have on the check variable is the dues taken out of it at the end, so it ends up being a negative number.

I have a similar problem with the other derived class's check variable. Both classes have the same variable as private but one is check the other checkC.

String Class Private Final Character Length

Feb 27, 2015

The String class stores the characters of the string internally as a private char[] and calling someString.length() results in getting the length field from the character array. I am looking to get the details on how the length is implemented. I understand it is a field, but in the original question I provide sample code and really want to know if/how the resulting byte code may differ when compiled, perhaps I am just not seeing the simple answer through my confusion.
