Java Review
1
This Course Covers, using Java
 Abstract data types
 Design, what you want them to do (OOD)
 Techniques, used in implementation (class)
 Example: integers, strings, lists, etc
 Data structures
 Ways of organizing large quantities of data in computer’s
memory

Vector lists, linked lists, trees, hash tables
 Problem solving
 Solving problems in managing data structures
 Using data structures to solve real problems

THINK BIG:
 how does Amazon keep track of inventory, customer
reviews, suppliers?
 how does Google keep track of web links?
 how does Google maps find the shortest route between
two cities?
 how does your email get sorted by name, date, etc?

Java Collection Classes
PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
changes to the Java environment over the past few
years has been the introduction of a set of classes
informally called the collection classes. This group of
classes fills out java.util, bringing many commonly used
data structures under one roof. For example, there is a
Stack class. Unfortunately, there is no Queue.

Some examples of data structures
 Arrays, 2D Arrays
 Vector Lists, Linked Lists
 Algorithms for processing lists
 Stacks, Queues
 Trees
5
An example Array of Readings stored in
memory starting at address x
6
A two-dimensional array with four rows and five
columns stored in row major order
7
Storing names in memory as a contiguous list
vector list)
(
8
Storing names in a linked list

10
Using a
stack to
print a
linked list
in reverse
order
11
A queue implemented with head and
tail pointers
12
A queue “crawling” through
memory
13
A circular queue (b) in its conceptual form in
which the last cell in the block is “adjacent” to the first cell
14
An example of an organization
chart
15
Tree terminology
16
The structure of a node in a binary
tree
17
The conceptual and actual organization of a binary tree using a linked
storage system
