This week in CS 5 HW 9 (2 problems) M/T sections W/Th sections due Sunday, 11/4 at midnight due Monday, 11/5 at midnight Recitation for HW9 -- Friday 11/2 A dizzying array of possibilities... Reading: Week 9’s online notes This week’s honorees are truly frightening... John Conway Carl Gauss

“Pass By Value” public static void main(String[] args) { int age = 18; H.out.print(“After a semester at HMC, you’ll feel ”); change(age); H.out.println(age + “ years old.”); } public static void change(int age) { age = 42; return; } PASS BY VALUE “Pass by value” means that data is copied when sent to a method

Passing Arrays by Value public static void main(String[] args) { int[] age = new int[2]; age[0] = 18; age[1] = 19; H.out.print(“After a semester at HMC, you’ll feel ”); change(age); H.out.println(age[0] + “ or ” + age[1] + “ years old.”); } public static void change(int[] age) { age[0] = 42; age[1] = 42; return; }

Watch out! public static void main(String[] args) { int[] age = new int[2]; age[0] = 18; age[1] = 19; H.out.print(“After a semester at HMC, you’ll feel ”); change(age); H.out.println(age[0] + “ years old.”); } public static void change(int[] age) { age = new int[2]; age[0] = 42; age[1] = 42; return; }

Arrays and Methods Engineers think their equations are an approximation to reality. Physicists think reality is an approximation to their equations. Mathematicians don't care. Simple Facts - > build structures from them Simple Actions (computations) -> build structures from them

2d arrays Arrays can be of ANY type -- even other arrays! double[] arr; double[][] arr; arr = new double[nRows][nCols]; arr[0][2] = 10.0;

2d arrays: Input and Output public static void main(String[] args) { double[][] arr = new int[3][4]; // getting the array from input for (int r=0 ; r<3 ; ++r) { for (int c=0 ; c<4 ; ++c) { bigarray[r][c] = H.in.nextDouble(); }

Problem A starting row of lights 2 is selected Each turn, a light is selected -- It and its neighbors switch states. Goal: get all the lights off… on off on

Problem 2

What is a light ? How should we represent these lights in Java ? on off on

Lights Out -- Printing // draw the current set of lights | |****|****|****| |****| | |****|****|****| |****| lights should be separated with vertical bars may display all light numbers up to 15 print light numbers close to the center of each light “off” lights should be 4x4 blocks of spaces “on” lights should be 4x4 blocks of stars

Take in a number of words and print them out in reverse order. (To be specific, suppose it’s 5 words.) A puzzle... String s1 = H.in.nextWord(); String s2 = H.in.nextWord(); String s3 = H.in.nextWord(); String s4 = H.in.nextWord(); String s5 = H.in.nextWord(); H.out.print( s5 + “ ” ); H.out.print( s4 + “ ” ); H.out.print( s3 + “ ” ); H.out.print( s2 + “ ” ); H.out.print( s1 + “\n” ); Not a very flexible solution...

Arrays - lists of data items String[] quip; quip = new String[5]; for (int i=0 ; i<5 ; ++i) { quip[i] = H.in.nextWord(); } declares a String array named quip declares five String s named quip[0]…quip[4] loop through the array index

Arrays in code H.out.println(“Type the number of words: ”); int len = H.in.nextInt(); String[] quip; // create an empty array quip = new String[len]; // create array elements for (int i=0 ; i<len ; ++i) { quip[i] = H.in.nextWord(); // input each element } // now print them out in reverse order…

Strings Be careful not to go out of bounds! Element types double, int, String, boolean, char, (any type) … char The ith element Example Declaration Length arr[i]s.charAt(i) double[] arr; arr = new double[100]; String s; java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1 java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1 arr.lengths.length() Warning Range from 0 up to length-1 vs Arrays

Lights Out ! A starting row of lights 2 is selected Each turn, a light is selected -- It and its neighbors switch states. Goal: get all the lights off… on off on

Lights Out ! Features of the game: // allow the user to set the // number of lights from 3 to 15 // start each light randomly on or off // draw the current set of lights // allow the user to select a light // only allow valid lights ! // update the set of lights and repeat
