  • Pass-by-value
  • Getters and Setters
  • Encapsulation
  • Using references in an array

5. Extra Strength Methods

  • Building a one-dim Arraylist game
  • Preparing to code
  • Coding
  • Random numbers
  • Using user-input
  • For loops
  • Casting primitives
  • String conversion
  6. Using the Java Library
  • Two Dimensional Arraylist Structures
  • Enhancing the game
  • Coding the game

7. Better Living in Objectville

  • Understanding inheritance
  • Designing an inheritance tree

  • Overriding methods
  • IS-A and HAS-A
  • What do you inherit from your superclass?

8. Serious Polymorphism

  • Some classes should not be instantiated
  • Abstract classes
  • Abstract methods
  • Polymorphism in action
  • Class Object
  • Taking objects out of an arraylist
  • Compiler checks the reference type
  • Get in touch with your inner object
  • Polymorphic references
  • Casting an object reference (moving lower in the inheritance tree)
  • Deadly Diamond of Death

9. Life and Death of an Object

  • The stack and the heap
  • Methods on the stack
  • Where local variables live
  • Where instance variables live
  • The miracle of object creation
