Data Structures and Algorithms Test 1
ADT - Answer- Abstract Data Type(ADT) is a data type, where only behavior is
defined but not implementation.
Java's List interface is an example
Generic Methods - Answer- Java Generic methods and generic classes enable
programmers to specify, with a single method declaration, a set of related methods,
or with a single class declaration, a set of related types, respectively.
Rules to define Generic Methods - Answer- All generic method declarations have a
type parameter section delimited by angle brackets (< and >) that precedes the
method's return type ( < E > in the next example).
Each type parameter section contains one or more type parameters separated by
commas. A type parameter, also known as a type variable, is an identifier that
specifies a generic type name.
The type parameters can be used to declare the return type and act as placeholders
for the types of the arguments passed to the generic method, which are known as
actual type arguments.
A generic method's body is declared like that of any other method. Note that type
parameters can represent only reference types, not primitive types (like int, double
and char).
Generic Classes - Answer- -A generic class declaration looks like a non-generic
class declaration, except that the class name is followed by a type parameter
section.
-The type parameter section of a generic class can have one or more type
parameters separated by commas. These classes are known as parameterized
classes or parameterized types because they accept one or more parameters.
-Ex:
public class Box<T> {
private T t;
public void add(T t) {
this.t = t;
}
public T get() {
return t;
}
