Introduction

This notebook uses Class definitions, ArrayLists, and Hash Maps. My hypothosis is these data structures are probably the most widely used in the Java language.

Popcorn Hacks

  • Provide some reasons why you agree with my hypothesis?

I agree with your hypothosis since ArrayLIsts/Hashmaps are important for storing large amounts of information, which is very common in Computer Science such as with an Arraylist of Names, or Hashmaps of ids mapping to those names. Class definitions are also important since it is needed for custom storage of custom attributes/elements and good for organization of different elements such as Person which might have age date of birth and more.

  • Provide some data structures that you think might rival my hypothesis?

Some data structures that might rival your hypothesis includes Strings as it is included in many of the class definitions.

  • Categorize data structure mentioned, tested by college board tested, widely used, fast.

Array (Static, Fast) ArrayList (Dynamic Array, Fast, College Board tested) Linked List (Both Singly and Doubly Linked Lists) Stack (Uses arrays or linked lists, LIFO structure) Queue (Uses arrays or linked lists, FIFO structure) Priority Queue (Heap-based implementation) (Efficient for scheduling tasks) HashMap (Hashtable, HashSet, Dictionary)

Popcorn Hacks

Objectives of these hacks are …

  1. Understand how to fullfill abstract class requirements using two additional algoritms.
  2. Use inheritance style of programming to test speed of each algorithm. To test the speed, a.) be aware that the first run is always the slowest b.) to time something, my recommendation is 12 runs on the timed element, through out highest and lowest time in calculations.
  3. Be sure to make a tester and reporting methods.

Hacks

Assign in each Team to build a Thymeleaf UI for portfolio_2025 using this example https://thymeleaf.nighthawkcodingsociety.com/mvc/fibonacci as basis. Encorporate into Algorithms menu.

Since there are three teams, one team can do Fibo, others Pali and Factorial. Assign this to people that are struggling for contribution and presentation to checkpoints.
