// Simple concatenation with + is compiled to a StringBuilder and toString()

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

// Maps - A set of objects that map keys to values. Map is
|
|
// an interface and therefore cannot be instantiated.
|
|
// The type of keys and values contained in a Map must
|
|
// be specified upon instantiation of the implementing
|
|
// class. Each key may map to only one corresponding value,
|
|
// and each key may appear only once (no duplicates).
|
|
// HashMaps - This class uses a hashtable to implement the Map
|
|
// interface. This allows the execution time of basic
|
|
// operations, such as get and insert element, to remain
|
|
// constant even for large sets.
|

// TreeMap - This class is a sorted tree structure. It implements a red

// the comparator provided while creating the object

// Enum Type
|
|
//
|
|
// An enum type is a special data type that enables for a variable to be a set
|
|
// of predefined constants. The variable must be equal to one of the values
|
|
// that have been predefined for it. Because they are constants, the names of
|
|
// an enum type's fields are in uppercase letters. In the Java programming
|
|
// language, you define an enum type by using the enum keyword. For example,
|
|
// you would specify a days-of-the-week enum type as:
|
|
public enum Day {
|
|
SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY,
|
|
THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// We can use our enum Day like that:
|
|
public class EnumTest {
|
|
// Variable Enum
|
|
Day day;
|
|
|
|
public EnumTest(Day day) {
|
|
this.day = day;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public void tellItLikeItIs() {

|
switch (day) {
|
|
case MONDAY:

|
|
case FRIDAY:

break;
|
|
case SATURDAY:
|
|
case SUNDAY:
|
|
System.out.println("Weekends are best.");
|
|
break;
|
|
default:
|
|
System.out.println("Midweek days are so-so.");

break;

|
|
|
public static void main(String[] args) {
|
|
EnumTest firstDay = new EnumTest(Day.MONDAY);
|
|
firstDay.tellItLikeItIs(); // => Mondays are bad.
|
|
EnumTest thirdDay = new EnumTest(Day.WEDNESDAY);
|
|
thirdDay.tellItLikeItIs(); // => Midweek days are so-so.
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Enum types are much more powerful than we show above.
|
|
// The enum body can include methods and other fields.
