CPSC 233: Extra Ideas For Practice

Extra review questions: Code writing

• Calling a method within the methods of the same class

• Calling a method outside the methods of a class

•  Writing a program that illustrates an example of: information hiding, method overloading, attributes and local variables

• Converting an iterative program to a recursive equivalent

• Any of the linked list functions covered in class plus:

•      In order insert (using two pointers "2-step" and 1 pointer "peek-ahead")

•      Search and remove (using  1 pointer "peek-ahead")

•      Reverse order insert

•      Recursive reverse order display

• Array operations covered in class plus:

•      In order insert

•      Reverse order insert

•      Recursive display (reverse order)

•      Iterative display (reverse order)

•      Search and replace an element

•      Finding the average (numeric only)

•      Finding the largest and smallest elements

• Implementing common methods:

•     toString() and equals() method (if advanced Java is included in the midterm

•     Mutators, accessors, constructors, overloaded constructors and this()

Note: this list is not meant to be a comprehensive list of topics that you should study, for that information you should look to the course notes. Instead this link is meant to give you an idea of some questions that are similar in difficulty to some of the ones that you could find in the actual midterm.
