Section 1.16 Summary
-
Computer science is the study of problem solving.
-
Computer science uses abstraction as a tool for representing both processes and data.
-
Abstract data types allow programmers to manage the complexity of a problem domain by hiding the details of the data.
-
Java is a powerful object-oriented language.
-
Arrays and ArrayLists are Java sequential collections.
-
HashMaps and Sets are nonsequential collections of data.
-
Classes allow programmers to implement abstract data types.
-
Programmers can override standard methods as well as create new methods.
-
Programmers can have multiple methods with the same name as long as their number and/or types of parameters differ. This is called overloading a method.
