7. Anonymous Classes Say I have a really small class that won’t get re- used by other classes. Say I have a really small class that won’t get re- used by other classes. If I don’t want to write it in its own file, I have 3 options: If I don’t want to write it in its own file, I have 3 options: Nested classes Nested classes Local classes Local classes Anonymous classes Anonymous classes

8. Nested Classes A class defined within another class. It is only visible to the outer class. A class defined within another class. It is only visible to the outer class. It must be declared static, or else it is an inner class. Inner classes are typically made visible to the world (like Ellipse2D.Double) It must be declared static, or else it is an inner class. Inner classes are typically made visible to the world (like Ellipse2D.Double)

9. Local Classes Declared inside a method Declared inside a method Their scope is only the method in which they are declared Their scope is only the method in which they are declared Not declared private or static. Not declared private or static. Have access to local final variables of the method. Have access to local final variables of the method. Weiss doesn’t use these Weiss doesn’t use these

10. Anonymous Inner Classes A class with no name! A class with no name! So it can only be used once! So it can only be used once! Used to provide a class that implements an interface (or extends a class). Used to provide a class that implements an interface (or extends a class). Instead of writing new Inner(), we write new Interface(), then provide the definition of the interface’s methods in curly braces {}. Instead of writing new Inner(), we write new Interface(), then provide the definition of the interface’s methods in curly braces {}. To extend a class, we provide definitions of the overridden methods To extend a class, we provide definitions of the overridden methods Limitation: can’t specify a constructor Limitation: can’t specify a constructor

12. Function Objects (a.k.a. Functors) Consider sorting an array of objects. Consider sorting an array of objects. Sorting requires elements can be comparable, such as numbers. Sorting requires elements can be comparable, such as numbers. However, what if there were more than one way to compare the elements? However, what if there were more than one way to compare the elements? We’d like to be able to tell the sorting function how to compare the elements. We’d like to be able to tell the sorting function how to compare the elements.

13. Function Objects (a.k.a. Functors) We'd like to be able to pass a method as an argument to another method. (what is the role of arguments to methods in general?) We'd like to be able to pass a method as an argument to another method. (what is the role of arguments to methods in general?) This is not a new or unusual idea. This is not a new or unusual idea. We frequently pass other functions as arguments to Maple's plot and solve functions. We frequently pass other functions as arguments to Maple's plot and solve functions.

This is not a new or unusual idea. This is not a new or unusual idea. Maple's plot and solve can take function arguments. Maple's plot and solve can take function arguments. C and C++ provide qsort, whose first argument is a comparison function. C and C++ provide qsort, whose first argument is a comparison function. Scheme has sort, which can take a function as its first argument. Scheme has sort, which can take a function as its first argument.

15. Function Objects What's it all about? What's it all about? Unfortunately, Java (unlike C++) doesn't allow functions to be passed directly as arguments. Unfortunately, Java (unlike C++) doesn't allow functions to be passed directly as arguments. But we can create objects whose only purpose is to pass a function into a method. They are called function objects, a.k.a. functors. But we can create objects whose only purpose is to pass a function into a method. They are called function objects, a.k.a. functors. Weiss' example: Weiss' example: Uses Comparator objects (interface is defined in java.util.Comparator ). Uses Comparator objects (interface is defined in java.util.Comparator ). What is Comparator used for? What is Comparator used for? Why not just use Comparable? Why not just use Comparable? OrderRectByWidth, SimpleRect, CompareTest OrderRectByWidth, SimpleRect, CompareTest

16. How to pronounce Comparator, Comparable

17. Comparator Interface Weiss provides code for several classes that are equivalent to those in java.util, so we can see how parts of the java.util classes might be implemented. You can install this  Generics would make this code more complicated; we’ll deal with that later.

18. Comparator Example part 1 The SimpleRectangle class does not implement Comparable, because there is no one "natural" way to order SimpleRectangle objects.

19. Comparator Example part 2 Two comparator classes.

20. Comparator Example part 3 Without something like Comparators, we would need separate findMax functions for finding the max using different comparison criteria  Note that java.util.Collections.max() has similar functionality for ArrayLists and other collections.

21. Demo Passing a comparator to a sort method. Passing a comparator to a sort method. Check out the ComparatorDemo project. Check out the ComparatorDemo project. Follow the directions on the top of the program. Follow the directions on the top of the program.

Add extra tests to your main method to create some different equalsK objects and pass them, along with an interesting array, to the countMatches() method. EqualsK should implement your interface from the first problem. Add extra tests to your main method to create some different equalsK objects and pass them, along with an interesting array, to the countMatches() method. You can submit (to the drop box for WA2) one set of classes that solves and tests both problems. You can submit (to the drop box for WA2) one set of classes that solves and tests both problems.

23. Hints Analogy with the Rectangle example: Analogy with the Rectangle example: countMatches (like findMax) is the method that takes an array and a function object as parameters. countMatches (like findMax) is the method that takes an array and a function object as parameters. EqualsZero (like findMaxByWidth) is specific function object. EqualsZero (like findMaxByWidth) is specific function object. ??? (like Comparator) is the function object interface: you pick the name. ??? (like Comparator) is the function object interface: you pick the name.
