// ArrayLists - Like arrays except more functionality is offered, and

// LinkedLists - Implementation of doubly-linked list. All of the

// Maps - A set of objects that maps keys to values. A map cannot
// contain duplicate keys; each key can map to at most one value.
// HashMaps - This class uses a hashtable to implement the Map

// Double Brace Initialization
// The Java Language has no syntax for how to create static Collections

private static final Set<String> COUNTRIES = new HashSet<String>();
static {

// But there's a nifty way to achieve the same thing in an
// easier way, by using something that is called Double Brace
// Initialization.
private static final Set<String> COUNTRIES = HashSet<String>() {{
add("DENMARK");
add("SWEDEN");
add("FINLAND");

// The first brace is creating a new AnonymousInnerClass and the
// second one declares an instance initializer block. This block
// is called when the anonymous inner class is created.
// This does not only work for Collections, it works for all
// non-final classes.

// You can include other, non-public outer-level classes in a .java file,

// <public/private/protected> class <class name> {
// // data fields, constructors, functions all inside.
// // functions are called as methods in Java.

public int cadence; // Public: Can be accessed from anywhere

// Interfaces
// Interface declaration syntax
// <access-level> interface <interface-name> extends <super-interfaces> {
// // Constants
// // Method declarations
// }
// Example - Food:
public interface Edible {
public void eat(); // Any class that implements this interface, must
// implement this method.
}
public interface Digestible {
public void digest();
}
// We can now create a class that implements both of these interfaces.
public class Fruit implements Edible, Digestible {
@Override
public void eat() {
// ...
}
@Override
public void digest() {
// ...
}
}
// In Java, you can extend only one class, but you can implement many
// interfaces. For example:
public class ExampleClass extends ExampleClassParent implements InterfaceOne,
InterfaceTwo {
@Override
public void InterfaceOneMethod() {
}
@Override
public void InterfaceTwoMethod() {
}
}
// Abstract Classes
// Abstract Class declaration syntax
// <access-level> abstract <abstract-class-name> extends <super-abstract-classes> {
// // Constants and variables
// // Method declarations
// }
// Marking a class as abstract means that it contains abstract methods that must
// be defined in a child class. Similar to interfaces, abstract classes cannot
// be instantiated, but instead must be extended and the abstract methods
// defined. Different from interfaces, abstract classes can contain a mixture of
// concrete and abstract methods. Methods in an interface cannot have a body,
// unless the method is static, and variables are final by default, unlike an
// abstract class. Also abstract classes CAN have the "main" method.
public abstract class Animal
{
public abstract void makeSound();
// Method can have a body
public void eat()
{
System.out.println("I am an animal and I am Eating.");
// Note: We can access private variable here.
age = 30;
}
// No need to initialize, however in an interface
// a variable is implicitly final and hence has
// to be initialized.
protected int age;
public void printAge()
{
System.out.println(age);
}
// Abstract classes can have main function.
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("I am abstract");
}
}
class Dog extends Animal
{
// Note still have to override the abstract methods in the
// abstract class.
@Override
public void makeSound()
{
System.out.println("Bark");
// age = 30; ==> ERROR! age is private to Animal
}
// NOTE: You will get an error if you used the
// @Override annotation here, since java doesn't allow
// overriding of static methods.
// What is happening here is called METHOD HIDING.
// Check out this awesome SO post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16313649/
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Dog pluto = new Dog();
pluto.makeSound();
pluto.eat();
pluto.printAge();
}
}
// Final Classes
// Final Class declaration syntax
// <access-level> final <final-class-name> {
// // Constants and variables
// // Method declarations
// }
// Final classes are classes that cannot be inherited from and are therefore a
// final child. In a way, final classes are the opposite of abstract classes
// because abstract classes must be extended, but final classes cannot be
// extended.
public final class SaberToothedCat extends Animal
{
// Note still have to override the abstract methods in the
// abstract class.
@Override
public void makeSound()
{
System.out.println("Roar");
}
}
// Final Methods
public abstract class Mammal()
{
// Final Method Syntax:
// <access modifier> final <return type> <function name>(<args>)
// Final methods, like, final classes cannot be overridden by a child class,
// and are therefore the final implementation of the method.
public final boolean isWarmBlooded()
