|
|
## Review for midterm
|
|
|
|
Chapter 1 -- Code Style, API
|
|
|
|
Chapter 2 -- Variables & Assignments, strings
|
|
|
|
Chapter 3 -- input & output
|
|
|
|
Chapter 4 -- branches (if, if/else, switch)
|
|
|
|
Chapter 5 -- loops (while, for), scope
|
|
|
|
Chapter 6 -- File Reading and Writing
|
|
|
|
## Separated vs Connected Branches
|
|
|
|
What is the output of this code?
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
String preferredLanguage = "Spanish";
|
|
if (preferredLanguage.equals("Chinese")) {
|
|
System.out.println("Ni hao!");
|
|
}
|
|
if (preferredLanguage.equals("Spanish")) {
|
|
System.out.println("Hola!");
|
|
}
|
|
if (preferredLanguage.equals("French")) {
|
|
System.out.println("Bonjour!");
|
|
}
|
|
if (preferredLanguage.equals("German")) {
|
|
System.out.println("Gutentag!")
|
|
} else {
|
|
System.out.println("Hello!")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The output is
|
|
|
|
```reStructuredText
|
|
Hola!
|
|
Hello!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is because each of the if statements are independent from each other. Whether or not the if statement gets check is not affected by the if statements around it.
|
|
|
|
Since the preferred language equals Spanish it outputs `Hola!` But since the language is also *not German* it prints out `Hello!` as well.
|
|
|

|
|
## Using an Array
|
|
|
|
Square brackets notation is used to access elements, array slots can be used as variables
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
int[] array = new int[7]; // Creates an integer array of size 7
|
|
array[0] = 5;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Swapping Elements
|
|
|
|
You can swap `x` and `y` in the following way with a *temporary* variable
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
int x = 6;
|
|
int y = 1;
|
|
|
|
int temp = x;
|
|
|
|
x = y;
|
|
y = temp;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Two-Dimensional Arrays
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
// Creates a 2D array of two rows and three columns
|
|
int[][] a = new int[2][3]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can access an element of this 2D array using the conventional square bracket notation
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
a[0][0] = 5;
|
|
```
|
