THE JAVA LANGUAGE CHEAT SHEET
Primitive Types:
INTEGER: byte(8bit),short(16bit),int(32bit),
long(64bit),DECIM:float(32bit),double(64bit)
,OTHER: boolean(1bit), char (Unicode)
HEX:0x1AF,BINARY:0b00101,LONG:8888888888888L
CHAR EXAMPLES: ‘a’,’\n’,’\t’,’\’’,’\\’,’\”’
Primitive Operators
Assignment Operator: = (ex: int a=5,b=3; )
Binary Operators (two arguments): + - * / %
Unary Operators: + - ++ --
Boolean Not Operator (Unary): !
Boolean Binary: == != > >= < <=
Boolean Binary Only: && ||
Bitwise Operators: ~ & ^ | << >> >>>
Ternary Operator: bool?valtrue:valfalse;
Casting, Conversion
int x = (int)5.5; //works for numeric types
int x = Integer.parseInt(“123”);
float y = Float.parseFloat(“1.5”);
int x = Integer.parseInt(“7A”,16); //fromHex
String hex = Integer.toString(99,16);//toHex
//Previous lines work w/ binary, other bases
java.util.Scanner, input, output
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int i = sc.nextInt(); //stops at whitespace
String line = sc.nextLine(); //whole line
System.out.println(“bla”); //stdout
System.err.print(“bla”); //stderr,no newline
java.lang.Number types
Integer x = 5; double y = x.doubleValue();
double y = (double)x.intValue();
//Many other methods for Long, Double, etc
java.lang.String Methods
//Operator +, e.g. “fat”+”cat” -> “fatcat”
boolean equals(String other);
int length();
char charAt(int i);
String substring(int i, int j); //j not incl
boolean contains(String sub);
boolean startsWith(String pre);
boolean endsWith(String post);
int indexOf(String p); //-1 if not found
int indexOf(String p, int i); //start at i
int compareTo(String t);
//“a”.compareTo(“b”) -> -1
String replaceAll(String str, String find);
String[] split(String delim);
StringBuffer, StringBuilder
StringBuffer is synchronized StringBuilder
(Use StringBuilder unless multithreaded)
Use the .apend( xyz ) methods to concat
toString() converts back to String
java.lang.Math
Math.abs(NUM),Math.ceil(NUM),Math.floor(NUM)
,Math.log(NUM),Math.max(A,B),Math.min(C,D),
Math.pow(A,B),Math.round(A),Math.random()

FUNCTIONS / METHODS: //Example Usage:
Static Declarations: public static void main(String[] args) {
public static int functionname( … ) Ball x = new Ball(5,10,2,2);
private static double functionname( … ) Ball y = new Ball();
static void functionname( … ) List<Ball> balls = new ArrayList<Ball>();
Instance Declarations: balls.add(x); balls.add(y);
public void functionname( … ) for(Ball b : balls) {
private int functionname( … ) for(Ball o : balls) {
Arguments, Return Statement: if(b != o) { //compares references
int myfunc(int arg0, String arg1) { boolean touch = b.touching(o);
return 5; //type matches int myfunc }
} }
//Non-void methods must return before ending }
//Recursive functions should have an if }
//statement base-case that returns at once

POLYMORPHISM: JAVA COLLECTIONS: java.util.PriorityQueue<T>
Single Inheritance with “extends” List<T>: Similar to arrays A queue that is always automatically sorted
class A{ } ArrayList<T>: Slow insert into middle using the comparable function of an object
class B extends A{ } //ArrayList has fast random access
abstract class C { } LinkedList<T>: slow random access public static void main(String[] args) {
class D extends C { } //LinkedList fast as queue/stack Comparator<String> cmp= new LenCmp();
class E extends D Stack: Removes and adds from end PriorityQueue<String> queue =
Abstract methods new PriorityQueue<String>(10, cmp);
abstract class F { List Usage: queue.add("short");
abstract int bla(); boolean add(T e); queue.add("very long indeed");
} void clear(); //empties queue.add("medium");
class G extends F { boolean contains(Object o); while (queue.size() != 0)
int bla() { //required method T get(int index); System.out.println(queue.remove());
return 5; T remove(int index); }
} boolean remove(Object o); class LenCmp implements Comparator<String> {
} //remove uses comparator public int compare(String x, String y){
Multiple Inheritance of interfaces with T set(int index, E val); return x.length() – y.length();
“implements” (fields not inherited) Int size(); }
interface H { }
void methodA(); List Traversal: java.util.Collections algorithms
boolean methodB(int arg); for(int i=0i<x.size();i++) { Sort Example:
} //use x.get(i); //Assuming List<T> x
interface I extends H{ } Collections.sort(x); //sorts with comparator
void methodC(); Sort Using Comparator:
} //Assuming List<T>: Collections.sort(x, new Comparator<T>{
interface K {} for(T e : x) { public int compareTo(T a, T b) {
class J extends F implements I, K { //use e //calculate which is first
int bla() { return 5; } //required from F } //return -1, 0, or 1 for order:
void methodA(){} //required from H return someint;
boolean methodB(int a) { //req from A Queue<T>: Remove end, Insert beginning }
return 1; LinkedList implements Queue }
} Example of two dimensional array sort:
void methodC(){} //required from I Queue Usage: public static void main(final String[] a){
} T element(); // does not remove final String[][] data = new String[][] {
Type inference: boolean offer(T o); //adds new String[] { "20090725", "A" },
A x = new B(); //OK T peek(); //pike element new String[] { "20090726", "B" },
B y = new A(); //Not OK T poll(); //removes new String[] { "20090727", "C" },
C z = new C(); //Cannot instantiate abstract T remove(); //like poll new String[] { "20090728", "D" } };
//Method calls care about right hand type Traversal: for(T e : x) {} Arrays.sort(data,
(the instantiated object) Set<T>: uses Comparable<T> for uniqueness new Comparator<String[]>() {
//Compiler checks depend on left hand type TreeSet<T>, items are sorted public int compare(final String[]
GENERICS: HashSet<T>, not sorted, no order entry1, final String[] entry2) {
class MyClass<T> { LinkedHashSet<T>, ordered by insert final String time1 = entry1[0];
T value; Usage like list: add, remove, size final String time2 = entry2[0];
T getValue() { return value; } Traversal: for(T e : x) {} return time1.compareTo(time2);
} Map<K,V>: Pairs where keys are unique }
class ExampleTwo<A,B> { HashMap<K,V>, no order });
A x; LinkedHashMap<K,V> ordered by insert
B y; TreeMap<K,V> sorted by keys for (final String[] s : data) {
} System.out.println(s[0]+" "+s[1]);
class ExampleThree<A extends List<B>,B> { V get(K key); }
A list; Set<K> keySet(); //set of keys }
B head; V put(K key, V value); }
} V remove(K key); More collections static methods:
//Note the extends keyword here applies as Int size(); Collections.max( … ); //returns maximum
well to interfaces, so A can be an interface Collection<V> values(); //all values Collections.min( … ); //returns maximum
that extends List<B> Collections.copy( A, B); //A list into B
Traversal: for-each w/ keyset/values Collections.reverse( A ); //if A is list
