3. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 3 Review of Quiz 10 Results 3

4. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming Today Finish polymorphism example Predicate (Helper) methods –the return keyword Nested while loops Next class: –Non-robotic software –Modifiers (public, private, protected) –Debugging & unit testing –Programs stored in multiple files

6. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 6 Polymorphism benefit Can refer to the superclass as the type of an object of an extended class –Change the type of joe in ICE_10_Demo_1.java from SpinningRobot to Robot but don’t change new SpinningRobot(...) –This will be very helpful when we start putting objects into other objects such as arrays and collections 6

7. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 7 Nested Loops Suppose we want to place Things in a row, we can do that with a while loop and a row integer variable –Notice : only 1 dimensional output What if you wanted to also place Things across columns (2D output)? –inside the row while loop, have a column while loop We call this nesting –you can nest loops, if statements, select cases, etc. 7

8. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 8 ICE Part 2: Nested Loops With Eclipse set breakpoint on line 12 of NestedWhile.java Trace the code in the debugger and watch the changes If we wanted to, we could nest 3 loops inside each other, etc 8

9. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 9 Queries, Predicates, Integers in tests A query method is a question asking method –Used to figure out something about the current state of the program –Queries SHOULDN'T have side effects: shouldn’t change the state of the object for example, when a robots’ query method ends, the robot should be in the same situation it was when the method was called Example: public int countThingsInBackpack() in the becker.robots.Robot class 9

10. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 10 Predicates Predicate methods are true/false (yes/no) queries –Return a boolean value ( true or false ) –Usually have “is” in their name For example in becker.robots.Robot: – frontIsClear – isBesideThing 10

11. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 11 Return return can be used to indicate what answer the method wants to give It will immediately stop the method from going any further, and instead return to whatever method called the current method Example: – public boolean isTrue() – { – return true; – } 11

12. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 12 Return Normally, you'd combine return with some other logic to create a more useful bit of functionality: public boolean isRobotOnAvenueFive() { if (this.getAvenue() == 5) { return true; } else { return false; } 12

13. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 13 Return You can also directly return anything that will be true/false when the program is run: public boolean isRobotOnAvenueFive() { return (this.getAvenue() == 5); } Return can also be used in void methods to indicate that you simply want to stop the method & return to the caller – public void doNothing() { return; System.out.println(“Never say this.”); } 13

14. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 14 Using return just to stop a method /** This will put down as many as five things, in a row. The method will stop if the robot doesn't have 5 Things to place */ public void placeFiveThings() { int counter = 0; while(counter < 5) { if(this.countThingsinBackPack() > 0) { this.putThing(); } else { // This will simply stop the current method from running return; } 14

15. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 15 ICE Part 1, with the sample test code FileName.java 15

16. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 16 Integer tests These queries return int numbers: – int getAvenue(); – int getStreet(); – Direction getDirection(); //one of Directions.NORTH, Directions.SOUTH, etc – int getSpeed(); Note that these are all public methods Integer tests are not very useful unless we can compare them to other things & do some simple math on them 16

17. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 17 ICE Part 3: Variable Design Discuss: –What are good answers? TYPO: –Students DO NOT need to turn in a MS Word doc, but good quiz practice 17

18. BIT 115: Introduction To Programming 18 ICE Parts 4 & 5 Note: You must fix class naming problem by making packages Can turn in as late as by class on Monday 5/12 to the Java Code Critic 18
