Midterm Exam 2 Review Sp2006
Below are questions like those I plan to ask on Midterm #2 (March 31). The exam will consist of 4 or 5 questions like these.
Please do try these questions! Post your answers, questions, comments, concerns, and criticisms on the pages for each question. Those comments, questions, etc. can also be about each others' answers! If someone posts an answer that you don't understand, ask about it! If you see a question here that you know the answer to, don't keep it to yourself – help your fellow students!
I will be reading your answers. Here are the ground rules for the interaction.
- If you don't post, neither will I. I will not be posting official solutions to these problems at all! If one of you gets it right, terrific!
- I will try to always point out if an answer is wrong. I won't always point out when the answer is right.
- I am glad to work with you toward the right answer. I will give hints, and I'm glad to respond to partial guesses.
Unscramble the code
Below are some code segments. The lines of code are scrambled, and some of the curly braces are removed. Put them back in the right order.
A. From Picture.java (a complete method)
for (int x=0; x getWidth(); x++)
topPixel = getPixel(x,(mirrorPoint - y));
public void mirrorHorizontalBottomToTop()
bottomPixel = getPixel(x,(mirrorPoint + y));
for (int y=1; y mirrorPoint; y++)
topPixel.setColor(bottomPixel.getColor());
int mirrorPoint = (int) (getHeight() / 2);
Pixel topPixel = null;
Pixel bottomPixel = null;
b. From LLNode.java (another complete method)
while (current.getNext() != null)
return current;
current = current.getNext();
public LLNode last() {
LLNode current;
current = this;
c. From GUITreeInteractive.java
new ActionListener() {
panel2.add(button1);
JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
s.play();
button1.addActionListener(
Sound s = new Sound(FileChooser.getMediaPath("warble-h.wav"));
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
this.getContentPane().add(panel2);
JButton button1 = new JButton("Make a sound");
d. From GUITreeBordered.java
this.setVisible(true);
panel2.add(button2);
this.pack();
this.getContentPane().add(panel2,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
JButton button1 = new JButton("Make a sound");
JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
panel2.add(button1);
JButton button2 = new JButton("Make a picture");
E. From SoundBranch.java
(This comment is right - it's meant to give you a headstart.)
/**
*Collect all the sound from our children FIRST,* then collect from my getNext().
**/
else
return childSound;
childSound = new Sound(1); /*A default nearly-empty sound*/
node=(CollectableNode) this.getNext();
CollectableNode node;
if (children != null)
Sound childSound;
if (this.getNext() != null)
childSound=childSound.append(node.collect());
childSound = children.collect();
public Sound collect(){
(It's okay to rewrite this one so that it's better than the one in class!)

Draw the Object Structures
Draw the object structures (e.g., boxes and arrows) for the data structures resulting from these methods.
A. From SoundListTest.java
public void setUp4(){
FileChooser.setMediaPath("/Users/guzdial/cs1316/MediaSources/");
Sound s = null; // For copying in sounds
s = new Sound(FileChooser.getMediaPath("is.wav"));
root = new SoundElement(s);
s = new Sound(FileChooser.getMediaPath("snap-tenth.wav"));
SoundElement one = new SoundElement(s);
root.repeatNext(one,4);
s = new Sound(FileChooser.getMediaPath("corkpop-tenth.wav"));
SoundElement two = new SoundElement(s);
root.insertAfter(two);
s = new Sound(FileChooser.getMediaPath("clap-q.wav"));
SoundElement three = new SoundElement(s);
two.last().repeatNext(three,3);
root.playFromMeOn();
}
B. From SoundTreeExample.java
public void setUp3() {

What's My Data Structure?
We've talked about several data structures in this class: Arrays, matrices, trees, linked lists. Match the data structure to the statement below.
A. "Right, so it takes a while to insert or delete in my middle, but you can't possibly get to a specific piece of me faster!"
B. "Insert and delete into the middle are really fast with me, but I don't DO complexity – no hierarchy for me!"
C. "I'm like my sister that you met early, but she's so one-dimensional, while twice as sophisticated, er, complex!"
D. "Organization chart? Sentence diagrams? Verses and chorus in a song? Structure of a scene? I'm your structure!"

Explain the UML Part 2
Consider the below diagram. (Note: REMOVEDes with no arrows are "association" links.)
Answer the below questions:
A. A Transcript consists of a set of objects that store a Section of a Course taken and a grade earned. What class are those objects?
B. List all of the methods that a Student instance understands, and list all of the data fields that a Student instance contains.
C. How many Sections of a Course can exist?
D. How many Courses are associated with a given Section?

Make a Scene
Below is some code that uses PositionedSceneElements to make a scene of a tree, a dog, another tree, and another dog.
public class PSETest {
public static void main(String [] args) {
FileChooser.setMediaPath("D:/cs1316/mediasources/");
Picture dog = new Picture(FileChooser.getMediaPath("dog-blue.jpg"));
PositionedSceneElement dognode = new PositionedSceneElement(dog);
PositionedSceneElement dognode2 = new PositionedSceneElement(dog);
Picture tree = new Picture(FileChooser.getMediaPath("tree-blue.jpg"));
PositionedSceneElement treenode = new PositionedSceneElement(tree);
PositionedSceneElement treenode2 = new PositionedSceneElement(tree);
treenode.setNext(dognode); dognode.setNext(treenode2);
treenode2.setNext(dognode2);
Picture bg = new Picture(400,400);
treenode.drawFromMeOn(bg);
bg.show();
}
}
Write another version that has a dog scaled to 0.25 of its original size, then three houses ("house-blue.jpg"), then three trees, all composed onto the "jungle.jpg" background.

Java, Java, Java, says George
Answer the following questions about Java (the language, not the drink):
A. BorderLayout and FlowLayout are two of what kind of thing? How do they differ?
B. What's an Event and what do they have to do with ActionListeners?
C. "Casting"? I don't think Java has anything to do with broken legs or fishing, so what is it and when do you need it?
