Java 103
• Data Structures
– Arrays
– Java Collections Framework
– Collection Algorithms
Java 103: Intro to Java Data
Structures
Arrays
Arrays
• Indexed sequence of values of the same type
• Store and manipulate huge quantities of data
• Examples:
– 52 playing cards in a deck
– Thousand undergrads at Hult
– 1 million characters in a book
– 10 million audio samples in an MP3 file
– 4 billion nucleotides in a DNA strand
– 73 billion Google queries per year
– 50 trillion cells in the human body
– 6.02 x 10e23 particles in a mole
Many Variables of the Same Type
• Example: Goal is to store 10 variables of the same
type without Arrays
Many Variables of the Same Type
• Example: Goal is to store 10 variables of the same
type Arrays
Arrays in Java
• Java has special language support for arrays
– To make an array: declare, create, and initialize it
– To access element i of array named a, use a[i]
– Array indices start at 0 and end at a.length - 1
• Compact alternative
– Declare, create, and initialize in one statement
– Default initialization: all numbers automatically set to zero
Array Processing Examples
Two-Dimensional Arrays
• Examples
– Table of data for each experiment and outcome
– Table of grades for each student and assignments
– Table of gray scale values for each pixel in a 2D image
• Mathematical abstraction
– Matrix
• Java abstraction
– 2D array
Two-Dimensional Arrays in Java
• Array Access
– Use a[i][j] to access element in row i and column j
– Zero-based indexing
– Row and column indices start at 0
Setting Array Values at Compile Time
• Initialize 2D array by listing values
Arrays Summary
• Organized way to store huge quantities of data
• Almost as easy to use as primitive types
• Can directly access an element given its index
Hands-on Exercise
Array of Days
Exercise: Array of Days
• Create a new Java project in Eclipse named ArrayOfDays
• Create a java class named DayPrinter that prints out
names of the days in a week from an array.
Solution : Arrays of Days
public class DayPrinter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//initialise the array with the names of days of the
week
String[] daysOfTheWeek =
{"Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday",
"Thuesday","Friday”,"Saturday"};
//loop through the array and print their elements to
//stdout
for (int i= 0;i < daysOfTheWeek.length;i++ ){
System.out.println(daysOfTheWeek[i]);
}
}
}

Java 103: Intro to Java Data
Structures
Java Collections Framework
What is a Collection?
• An object that groups multiple items into a single
unit
• Used to store, retrieve, manipulate, and
communicate aggregate data
• Represent data items that form a natural group,
– a poker hand (a collection of cards)
– a mail folder (a collection of letters)
– a telephone directory (a mapping of names to phone
numbers)
Collections Framework
• A unified architecture for representing and
manipulating collections
• Usually contain…
– Interfaces
– Implementations
– Algorithms
• Examples of collections frameworks in other
languages
– C++ Standard Template Library (STL)
– Smalltalk's collection hierarchy
Java Collections Framework
• Interfaces
Collection
List Set
Iterable
SortedSet Dequeue
Queue
NavigableSet NavigableMap
SortedMap
Map
Note: Map does not
extend Collection;
but it is a “collection”
Collection Interface
• Contains about a dozen methods that describe
common operations on groups of objects
• Commonly Used Methods
– add(Object x) adds x to the collection
– remove(Object x) removes x from the collection
– contains(Object x) returns true if x is in collection
– size () return number of elements
– toArray() returns an array containing elements
– iterator() returns an Iterator object for accessing the
elements
Hands-on Exercise
Dumping Collection Elements
Exercise: Dumping Collection Elements
• What happens when you run the following program?
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Iterator;
public class DumpCollection {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Collection days= Arrays.asList(”Mon",”Tues",”Wed",”Thurs",”Fri",”Sat", ”Sun");
dumpCollection(days);
}
public static void dumpCollection(Collection c){
System.out.println("collection has " + c.size() + " elements");
Iterator iterator = c.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()){
System.out.println("Next element is " + iterator.next());
}
}
}
List Interface
• Keeps its elements in the order in which they are
added
• Each element has an index starting from 0
(similar to an array)
• Commonly Used Methods
– add (int index, Object x) insert x at index
– get (int index) returns the element at index
– indexOf(Object x) returns the index of the first
occurrance of x
– remove (int index) removes the element at index
List World

Good for adding

i.e. stacks and queues
Hands-on Exercise
Creating a TODO List
Exercise: Simple TODO List
• Create a Java project in Eclipse named
SimpleTodoList
• Create a Java program named SimpleTodoList
• Create a List to store your todo list items (use
either ArrayList or LinkedList)
• Use a for-loop to display your list contents
Solution: Simple TODO List
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class SimpleTodoList {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList<String> todoList = new ArrayList<String>();
todoList.add("make breakfast");
todoList.add("read morning paper");
todoList.add("Doctors appointment");
for (String item : todoList ) {
System.out.println("Item:" + item) ;
}
}
}
Set Interface
• Sets contain an unordered list of elements
• They do not allow duplicate elements
• Commonly Used Methods
– add (Object x) returns true if x doesn’t already
exist and false if it exists
Set World
Set
HashSet
LinkedHashSet
TreeSet

Hands-on Exercise
Set of Points
Example: Set of Points
• What happens when you run the following program?
import java.awt.Point;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
public class AddTwice {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Set points = new HashSet();
Point p1 = new Point(10,20);
Point p2 = new Point(10,20);
points.add(p1);
points.add(p2);
System.out.println("number of points = " + points.size());
}
}
Map Interface
• Combines two collections called keys and values
• Associates exactly one value with each key
• Keys are used to get values from Maps
• Commonly Used Methods
– put (Object key, Object value) associates a key and a value
– get(Object key) returns the value associated with key
– containsKey (Object key) return true if the Map associates
some value with key
– keySet() returns a Set containing the Map’s keys
– values() returns a Collection containing the Map’s values

Hands-on Exercise
Word Frequency Table
Example: Word Frequency Table
import java.util.*;
/**
* Creates a word frequency table from command line arguments
*/
public class WordFrequency {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Map<String, Integer> m = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
for (String a : args) {
Integer freq = m.get(a);
m.put(a, (freq == null) ? 1 : freq + 1);
}
System.out.println(m.size() + " distinct words:");
System.out.println(m);
}
} % java WordFrequency if it is to be it is up to me to delegate
8 distinct words:
{to=3, is=2, it=2, if=1, me=1, delegate=1, up=1, be=1}
Collection Framework Summary
• Reduces programming effort
• Increases program speed and quality
• Allows interoperability among unrelated APIs
• Reduces effort to learn and to use new APIs
• Reduces effort to design new APIs
• Fosters software reuse
