Variables quiz

? test = 0.5d;

? age = 22;

double test = 0.5d;

int age = 22;
long age = 22;

List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();

Loops

// For loop
for (int i = 0; i < 30; i++) {

}

// while loop
boolean looping = true;
while (looping) {
    looping = false;
}


// Do while loop
boolean looping = true;
do {
    looping = false;
} while(looping);


// Foreach
String[] list = {"Hello", "World"};
for (String item : list) {

}

Condition statements

String red = "red";
String blue = "blue";


if (red.equals(blue)) {
    System.out.println("blue is red");
} else {
    System.out.println("blue is not red");
}

switch (red) {
    case "red":
        System.out.println("red is the color of roses");
        break;
    case "blue":
        System.out.println("blue is the color of the sky");
        break;
    case "green":
        System.out.println("green is the color of grass");
        break;
    case "yellow":
        System.out.println("yellow is the color of Mcdonald's");
        break;
}

User input

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
    String line = scanner.nextLine();

    System.out.println(line.reverse());

}

Data storage constructions

Structures

	Contents	Unique	Size changeable
Array	values	false	false
List	values	false	true
Set	keys	true	true
Map	keys,values	true	true

Array

String[] test = {"hi", "there"};

int[] numbers = {10, 20, 30};

int[] empty = new int[20];

empty[0] = 100;

System.out.println("Element at index 0: " + empty[0]);

List

List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();

List<String> list = new LinkedList<>();

list.add("hello world");

Set

Set<String> set = new HashSet<>();

set.add("hello world");
set.add("hello world");
set.add("hello");
set.add("world");

System.out.println(set);

Map

Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();

map.put("hello world", 1);
map.put("hello world", 2);
map.put("hello", 3);
map.put("world", 4);

System.out.println(map);
