How to identify object types in java

You forgot the .class: if (value.getClass() == Integer.class) { System.out.println(“This is an Integer”); } else if (value.getClass() == String.class) { System.out.println(“This is a String”); } else if (value.getClass() == Float.class) { System.out.println(“This is a Float”); } Note that this kind of code is usually the sign of a poor OO design. Also note that comparing the … Read more

Understanding Python super() with __init__() methods [duplicate]

This question already has answers here: What does ‘super’ do in Python? – difference between super().__init__() and explicit superclass __init__() (11 answers) Closed 6 years ago. Why is super() used? Is there a difference between using Base.__init__ and super().__init__? class Base(object): def __init__(self): print “Base created” class ChildA(Base): def __init__(self): Base.__init__(self) class ChildB(Base): def __init__(self): … Read more

implicit super constructor Person() is undefined. Must explicitly invoke another constructor?

If a constructor does not explicitly invoke a superclass constructor, the Java compiler automatically inserts a call to the no-argument constructor of the superclass. If the super class does not have a no-argument constructor, you will get a compile-time error. Object does have such a constructor, so if Object is the only superclass, there is … Read more

What is the difference between Integer and int in Java?

int is a primitive type. Variables of type int store the actual binary value for the integer you want to represent. int.parseInt(“1”) doesn’t make sense because int is not a class and therefore doesn’t have any methods. Integer is a class, no different from any other in the Java language. Variables of type Integer store references to Integer objects, just as with any other reference (object) type. Integer.parseInt(“1”) is a call to the … Read more

Error: Generic Array Creation

You can’t create arrays with a generic component type. Create an array of an explicit type, like Object[], instead. You can then cast this to PCB[] if you want, but I don’t recommend it in most cases. PCB[] res = (PCB[]) new Object[list.size()]; /* Not type-safe. */ If you want type safety, use a collection like java.util.List<PCB> instead of an … Read more
