View Replies View RelatedThrow Exception In Overridden Method
Mar 19, 2015I am practicing OCPJP ....
import java.lang.*;
class InvalidValueException extends IllegalArgumentException {}
class InvalidKeyException extends IllegalArgumentException {}
class BaseClass {
void foo() throws IllegalArgumentException {
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
[Code] .....
Which one of the following options correctly describes the behavior of this program? And the answer is (definitely) --> The program will print : InvalidKeyException exception, but when i saw the explanation, it tells
It is not necessary to provide an Exception thrown by a method when the method is overriding a method defined with an exception (using the throws clause).
I don't know, but i think it will compiled because the Exception that is thrown by the foo method in DeriDeri class is inherited from unchecked exception.. so it is not necessary to declare throws statement on its method.. and if the exception was checked exception the answer must be different right?
Covariant Return In Overridden Method
Mar 5, 2015 For starters here is my code:
Java Code: class A {
int x=5;
}
class B extends A {
int x=6;
}
public class CovariantTest {
public A getObject() {
[Code] ....
And this is the output I get:
sub
5
I am unable to figure out how this is outputting 5 instead of 6. The getObject method of SubCovariantTest is obviously the one being called, and it returns a new B(). So why am I getting class A's x value? I thought since I was getting a B object returned that I would get B's x value.
Method Overridden In Method Parameter?
Jul 20, 2014I was following a tutorial for libGdx and suddenly became confused by the following syntax:
up.addListener(new ClickListener(){
public void clicked(InputEvent event, float x, float y){
position.y += 1f;
//currentFrame = animation.getKeyFrame(12);
}
});
"up" is basically a text Button:
TextButton up = new TextButton("up", textButtonStyle);
and .addListener is just one of the methods "TextButton" has (actually I think its inherited from "Button" but that doesn't matter).
Basically my question is what's going on inside the parentheses? From what I see its a new instance of "ClickListener" but then suddenly they override an actual method within. Is this simply just a way to override a method from the ClickListener class or is it something else?
Referring To Overridden Method From Supertype Reference?
May 14, 2015If a method is overridden but you use a polymorphic (supertype) reference to refer to the subtype object with the overriding method, the compiler assumes you're calling the supertype version of the method.
is this true? maybe i'm misunderstanding it, but i thought the JVM looks at the object at run time and checks the object type. the context of the quote is about checked exceptions, but it seems like the statement should stand regardless of context. but this doesn't back up my experience. for example:
public class Test{
public void print(){
System.out.println("Super");
} public static void main(String[] args){
Test t = new SubTest();
[Code] ....
Will invoke the subclass method. like i said, maybe i'm missing something.
Selection Of Invocation Of Overridden Method During Constructor Chaining
May 28, 2014I don't understand, why when in the constructor of the superclass A the method init() is called (line 4), the overridden version of the subclass is invoked (line 26) and not the superclass version (line 7):
class A {
public A () {
init();
}
public void init() {
System.out.println("test");
[Code] ....
I would have guessed that above code prints
test
1
But instead you get a NPE (because when the constructor of B is invoked
public static void main(String[] args) {
new B();
}
Then there is first the implicit call to super:
public B() {
s = " ";
init();
}
Which is the constructor of A:
public A () {
init();
}
But here now this init() method is not the version of A ( public void init() {
System.out.println("test");
}) but the overriden version of the subclass (B): public void init() {
System.out.println(s+=s.length());
}...
Which throws an NPE of course, because the initialization of s has not occured yet (it happens only after the implicit call to super() has finished (see public B() {
s = " ";
init();
}))
Servlets :: Cannot Make Static Reference To Non-static Method GetQuery From Type Resource

Can Static Method Return Instances Of Same Class In Special Case Where Everything Is Static?
Jun 27, 2014From what i understand static methods should be called without creating an instance of the same class . If so why would they return an instance of the same class like in the following : public static Location locateLargest(double[][] a) , the Location class being the same class where the method is defined . I don't understand this , does it mean that every field and every method in the class must be static ? Meaning that you cannot have instances of the class because everything is static . Or it's just a mistake and the class Location cannot have a static method: public static Location locateLargest(double[][] a) ?

Non-Static Method Cannot Be Called From Static Context Errors
Jul 27, 2014I'm working on a banking program that is supposed to use 3 classes (Account-base class, CheckingAccount, and SavingsAccount) and several methods to display the banking information (ID, balance after a withdrawal and deposit, and the annual interest rate). This should be a pretty simple program, but I'm getting hung up on one portion of it. I'm getting some compiler errors, all of which deal with non-static variables being called from a static context (I'll also post these errors following the code). Up until the middle of last week, we just declared everything as static, but that's changed and I'm having trouble figuring out when to and when not to use static when declaring my methods, hence the compiler errors.
import java.util.Date;
public class Account {
private int id = 0;
private double balance = 0;
private double annualInterestRate = 0;
private Date dateCreated = new Date();
[Code] ....
Here are the compiler errors I am receiving:
Compilation completed. The following files were not compiled:

How To Have Static Or Non-static Method Reference As Parameter
Nov 18, 2014I had a TestColor class which contained methods to change hue, saturation, brightness, red, green, blue of TestColor's instances but also had static methods which take in an additional parameter for an instance of TestColor and returns the affected instance of TestColor. Now instead of having one method for every possible color effect to be applied to an image, how can I have one method that takes in an Image parameter, a static or non-static method reference from TestColor parameter and lastly an intensnity value parameter. This is so that I can make an affectedImage object instance inside the method and a Graphics2D object for drawing to each pixel of the new image, now I have one for loop and one nested for loop for the x and y pixels of width and height of the old image and inside the nested for loop I'd create a TestColor by calling getRGB on the image's pixel. Then I would apply the static or non-static method reference somehow to change the color with the intensnity value and after applying it draw to the new Image with Graphics2D. How to would I parametize a method reference and be able to use it in such way?

Calling A Non Static Method From Static Method
Jun 24, 2014We know that a non static method can not be directly refrenced from static method but in the example given below there is no such error.Why?
class A
{
private void display()
{
System.out.println("In A");
}
public static void invoke (A x)
{
x.display();
[code]....
In above case a non static method display() is being invoked from static method invoke ()but it is not giving error.why?

View Replies View RelatedWhy Global Var Initialized With Static Method And Not By Other Static Global Var Declared After Its Usage
Jul 27, 2013Take this:
class test
{
static int i=j;

this will give illegal forward reference ....
but this will compile successfully ..
class test
{
static int i=test1();
static test1()
{
return 20;
}

.....
plz assume we have main method in both cases ..
java would be loading all static members first and would be assigning default values .. and then will be running all the initializers from to bottom ..Why second case is a compile success and not first .. as in second also test1 method is declared after its usage ..

Catching Array From Static Method
Apr 16, 2015I'm writing a code with a cellphone class to set price, brand and serial number. I'm also, in the main method, initializing 100 different cellphone in a matrix style ( up to here I'm fine). I have to use a copy constructor to define some cellphones ( fine too). Another thing I had to do was to generate random numbers and swap the price of the cellphones ( which I'm fine with too). My problem lies after using my static method. I have to display a new matrix with the changed price and return the counter that I used in my method to see how many times it was changed.
My two problems are that if I display my array again after I ran the method, it stays the same ( I didn't "catch" the change so I'm guessing the compiler just didn't keep them in the array). Secondly, I don't know how to return the counter. I don't have any ".getCounter" or something ( what I'm used to). Any input?
My formatting is terrible, I'm trying to improve it no need to point it out
Here's my code:
import java.util.Random;
//Cellphone Class ( apart from main method)
class Cellphone {
private String brand;
private long serialNumber;
private double Price;
//declaration of variables in cellphone class
