Difference In Variable Assignment Between Constructor And Variable Section
May 21, 2014Given the case I have an object which is assigned only once. What is the difference in doing:
public class MyClass {
private MyObj obj = new MyObj("Hello world");
private MyClass(){}
//...
}
and
public class MyClass {
private MyObj obj;
private MyClass(){
obj = new MyObj("Hello world");
}
//...
}
Is there a difference in performance or usability? (Given also the case there are no static calls expected) ....
Are Terms Local Variable And Member Variable Comparable
Oct 27, 2014The term "Local variable" is related to scope. That is a local variable is one which is defined in a certain block of code, and its scope is confined inside that block of code.And a "Member variable" is simple an instance variable.
I read in a discussion forum that when local variables are declared (example code below), their name reservation takes place in memory but they are not automatically initialized to anything. On the other hand, when member variables are declared, they are automatically initialized to null by default.
Java Code: public void myFunction () {
int [] myInt; // A local, member variable (because "static" keyword is not there) declared
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
So it seems that they are comparing local variables and member variables. While I think a member variable can also be be local in a block of code, isn't it?
Reference Variable - Create Another Variable And Set It Equal To First
Jan 11, 2015Given a reference variable : Car c1 = new Car();
when we create another variable and set it equal to the first : Car c2 = c1;
we're pointing c2 at the same car object that c1 points to (as opposed to pointing c2 at c1, which in turn points at the car). So if we have code like,
Car c1 = new Car();
Car[] cA = {c1, c1, c1, c1};
are we doing the same? Are we creating four *new* reference variables, each of which points at the same car (again as opposed to pointing them at c1 itself)? I think so, but want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.
How To Use Value Of String Variable Cel1 As Variable Name
May 23, 2014I have a JFrame jf and JPanel jp on it. jp has five TextFields named cel1, cel2.. cel5. I wish to construct a String Cel + for loop index and run a for loop to reset the values of all the text fields using a single statement such as cel1.SetText("abc"). Similar things can be done in foxfro. How does one do it in java?
View Replies View RelatedHow To Use Variable In If Statement
Feb 17, 2014How do I use a variable in an if statement to return a public void method from another class? I've tried:

Using Same Variable Name In Two Classes
Feb 7, 2014Regarding the code examples in Head First Java, this is from Chapter 5, regarding the beginning creation of the dot com game. There are two classes in quesiton
the first is the SimpleDotComTester class:
public class SimpleDotComTester {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
SimpleDotCom dot = new SimpleDotCom();
int[] locations = {2, 3, 4};
dot.setLocationCells(locations);
String userGuess = "2";
String result = dot.checkYourself(userGuess);
}
}
and the second one is the code for the checkYourself () method in the SimpleDotCom class
public class SimpleDotCom {
int[] locationCells;
int numOfHits = 0;
public void setLocationCells(int[] locs)
[code]....
Now I noticed that both classes use a variable called result; the program runs fine, but assume from the example that you can use the same variable name two different classes;

Variable Value Not Printing
Nov 6, 2014I'm making a program where the user enters an ID number and can submit the amount of sales that person made for a specific product and write to a file. One of the things I have to do is making a running sum of the sales for each product for all people combined as well as an accumulation of the a persons sales every time he enters data. Everything seems to be working execpt my values like person1Total, person2Total...etx and product2Total.
When I try to write them to the file, they always come out at 0.0 even though they should be the sum of the indexes of the array sales.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class SalesReport {
// private static double p1Total, p2Total, p3Total, p4Total;
private static double product1Total, product2Total, product3Total, product4Total, product5Total;
private static double person1Total, person2Total, person3Total, person4Total;

How To Initialize Variable Only Once
May 2, 2015I'm working on a program where the user inputs song information (name, artist, filesize, duration) which is stored in a database. Once the user adds a song, the details should be stored in the first empty song slot (4 song slots total) and then taken back to the menu interface.
What I'm having trouble with is that I can add the first song fine (song1), but when I try to add another song, the information entered into song1 is gone. I've worked out that this is because every time I call upon the addNewSong() method, I'm creating four Song objects that are brand new with the line:
Song song1 = new Song();
Song song2 = new Song();
Song song3 = new Song();
Song song4 = new Song();
How to fix this problem is where I'm stuck because if I move these lines elsewhere, I get a 'cannot find symbol - variable song1' error.
Here is my code:
public class SongDatabase {
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
public void addNewSong() {
Song song1 = new Song();
Song song2 = new Song();
Song song3 = new Song();
Song song4 = new Song();
if (song1.isEmpty()) {

Variable Name From Table Value?
Apr 17, 2014How can I make variable from table value? Example:
Java Code:
String table [] = {"vara","varb"};
for(int i = 0; i < table.length; i++)
{
int table[i] = i;
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
And vara = 0, varb = 1 here.
Is this even possible?

Static Variable Within A Class?
Dec 8, 2014I have a class Tree in which all the methods to build a tree are in place. But however I would want variable of by Tree which is pointing to the last node being added to the tree.
So basically every time you keep adding a node to the tree you tail pointer gets updated to point to the last node. I have this so far.
public class NonEmptyTree implements Tree {
private Tree left;
private int data;
private int leftleafCount;
private int rightleafCount;
private Tree right;
private Tree tail; // This variable must be shared by all the object. There needs to just one tail pointer to the tree.
public Tree insert( data ) {
tail = // gets updated every time when new node gets added.
Overloading Variable Arguments
Dec 27, 2014I am going through Thinking in Java, 4th Ed and I came across the section that talks about overloading variable arguments. I tried out a piece of code from the book. (Method and class names not exactly the same).
public class Varargs
{
public static void m1(Character... args)
{
System.out.println("Character");
[code]....
In the above code, the compiler throws an 'Ambiguous for the type varargs' error. The error goes away if the first method is changed to:
public static void m1(char c, Character... args)
why there is ambiguity in the first piece of code and not the second.
Local Variable Not Initialized
Jun 19, 2014I am reading input from a file that has following information:
line 1 = numbers of integers in array,
line 2 = elements in array1,
line 3 = elements in array2.
These lines constitute a test case. There are 1000 test cases in the input file.
So basically, I read the length of arrays, populate the arrays by reading from the file.
The code is below ( I have not included reading input code):
while(test_case<1000){
if (count == 1){ //count keeps track of lines in input file
vec_length = Integer.parseInt (tokenizer.nextToken());
count++;
continue;
}
if (count == 2){ //populates array1
vector1 = new int[vec_length];
for (int i = 0; i < vector1.length; i++)
vector1[i] = Integer.parseInt (tokenizer.nextToken());
count++;
continue;
}
Array2 is populated using the same as above code. However when I use the following code:
for (int i=0; i<vec_length; i++)
temp += vector1[i]*vector2[i];
I get " local variable vector1 and vector2 have not been initialized error". But both arrays have been initialized in the if{} block. Is it because initialization was local to if block?
Initializing Variable Within Program
Mar 3, 2014My objective is to write a program that calculates the bodyfat of people. The difficult thing is, that the calculations are different for males and females, so I tried to prompt the user to state whether they are male or female, then use and "if" statement to tether their response to the corresponding calculations.
Here's my algorithm:
Here's what I have:
package bodyweight;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Weightcalc {
static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main(String[] args){
[Code] ....
It keeps telling me that bodyweight is not initialized, but when I do, I get a hell of a lot more bugs on everything telling me they aren't initialized. I just want the program to transfer the user to select inputs, based on whether they are male or female.
Java Path Variable

View Replies View RelatedHow To Transfer The Value Of A Variable From One Class To Another
Mar 12, 2015I am developing a program that seems to need to transfer the value of a variable from one class to another. However, neither of the classes is the main class.
This simplified code should make my problem clear:
This is my main class where I create runone from Class1 and runtwo from Class2:
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Class1 runone = new Class1();
Class2 runtwo = new Class2();
}
}
This is Class1 where I set up x and give it the value 20. I also have a getter-method to be able to access the value of x from other classes.
public class Class1 {
int x = 20;
public int getX(){
return x;
}}
This is Class2, where I try to access the value of x that was set up in runone.
public class Class2 {
int y;
public Class2() {
y = runone.getX + 10;
System.out.println(y);
}
}
Unfortunately, I get the error message "runone cannot be resolved to a variable."
What do I do to be able to access the variable x (that is set up in Class1) from Class2?
Scanner Cannot Be Used As Variable In If Statements?
May 18, 2014I created a variable for the scanner called serena. Serena variable is equal to what the user inputs. My if statement says that if the answer the user enters is not equal to the actual answer then it is to display "wrong". It is a basic math game I am working on. NetBeans is telling me that I cannot use the scanner in an if statement?
package pkgnew;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class New{
public static void main(String args[]){
Scanner serena = new Scanner(System.in);
double fnum, snum, answer;
[Code] ....
Do I have to define Serena as whatever number the user inputs? If so, how?
Test If A Name Is Variable With Regex
Jun 11, 2014I would like to test whether the first word in a line is is a valid var name (e.g sequence of letters, digits and "_", it may not start with a digit, if "_" is the first char it must be followed by a letter). I tried this simple code:
String namePattern = "_[a-zA-Z0-9]+";
String text = "__c";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(namePattern);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
"__c" is an illegal var name.
But it returns the string "_c", where it is supposed to return an empty matcher.
where am I wrong here?
