Data Structures and Other Objects Using JavaMichael Main's gentle approach to data structures and objects has introduced thousands of beginning programmers to foundational data structures using the practical Java language. This Third Edition makes the most of the enhancements and advantages of Java 5.0 including the use of generic data types. An early group of chapters reviews the key aspects of object-oriented programming giving students the foundation for understanding significant programming concepts. With this framework they are able to accomplish writing functional data structures by using a five-step method for working with data types; understanding the data type abstractly, writing a specification, using the data type, designing and implementing the data type, and analyzing the implementation. Students learn to think analytically about the efficiency and efficacy of design while gaining exposure to useful Java classes libraries. The flexibility of Data Structures and Other Objects Using Java allows instructors to structure their course around a certain emphasis, such as early coverage of recursion and sorting, or to accelerate the pace of the course. |

... Object . In Java , Object is a kind of " super data type " that encompasses all data except the eight primitive types . So a primitive variable ( byte , short , int , long , char , float , double , or boolean ) is not an Object , but ...
... Object . You can try a typecast to use the object as if it were another type . For example , we used the typecast Location candidate = ( Location ) obj . What happens if obj doesn't actually refer to a Location object ? The result is a ...
... object holds a primitive value . For example , a wrapper class called Integer is designed so that each Integer object holds one int value . The two most important Integer methods are the constructor ( which creates an Integer object ...
