Question about using container class - Map

hi all
i have a question about the following :
i have two sets of data, both use a common filed as key for the map:
A = {a,b,d,f,g,h} and B = {a,d,e,g,i,k}, each key has a value associated with.
i need to find out the commonality, and the difference - i.e fields are in map A but not in Map B, and some fields that are in B but not in A. is there any quick method that comes with the collection class that can calculate this? thanks

yes, the keyset will be used to access values.
so, SetA.retainAll(SetB) will modify the SetA so that it contains keys that are in both SetA and SetB - the intersection.
and SetA.removeAll(SetB) will modify the SetA so that it only contains keys that are in SetA, but not in SetB?
correct?

  • Question about using date class in AppleScript

    Hey, how's it going. I want to make an AppleScript that, when activated, will open a TextEdit document with the current date typed at the top. Here is the code I have:
    set TodaysDate to current date
    tell application "TextEdit"
    activate
    set text of document 1 to "TodaysDate"
    end tell
    The document opens, but all TextEdit displays is the word "TodaysDate" (not the actual date). How do I get it so that I can see the current date? Thanks!!

    Here:
    tell application "TextEdit"
    activate
    set text of document 1 to ((current date) as string)
    end tell

    <<Assignment>>
    Due - midnight, Wednesday August 22nd
    This assignment will test your knowledge of Java programming using classes, encapsulation and javadoc.
    The base requirements
    Write a complete Java class to manage a Digital Recording Studio. The studio wants to keep a list of all Artists that use the studio and also wishes to keep track of all Recordings that have been made. An important function of the program is to calculate the time spent making a recording and charge the Artist for the time used.
    You must create at least the following classes, Start, Studio, Person, Artist, Recording, Address. You may create other classes if needed as well
    Start will contain main(), create one instance of a Studio and execute a Menu of commands to test your code. Studio should contain a studio name, an array of Artist and an array of Recording plus the studio manager (a Person). Each Artist should contain the name of the group and an Address. Each Person will have a name and a home address. Each recording will have a Title (usually song title), an Artist (only one), and a list of guestArtist (they are Artist�s but will not receive royalties) the number of the CD the recording is stored on (numbers are numerical and recordings are saved on CD-R), plus the recording start and finish times for the recording session (suggest you use Java Date class � refer to the API). An Address will contain, house number (integers only), a street name and a telephone number. There is no need to store city and country.
    To enter a set of data for testing your program � main() should call a method in the Start class that will fill in a set of values by creating objects and filling in values by calling methods in each class. This is the ONLY method allowed to be longer than 1 page long � normally we would read the data from a file but there are no O-O principles that can be learnt with simply filling in data values. It is suggested to create say at least 4 Artist�s and 6 Recordings (at least one with 1 guest Artist and one with 2 guestArtist�s)
    A menu for testing your program should be provided (it is suggested to put the Menu into a separate class as you need at least 3 menus). While other commands are possible, only the following ones will receive marks.
    Menu commands needed are
    List the Managers name, address and telephone number
    List all Artist Names
    List an Artist telephone number (a sub menu showing valid Artist�s is required)
    Show all details for one Recording ( sub menu of valid Recordings will be needed and remember there can be more than one guestArtist)
    Add a new Recording, user will need to be prompted for all details.
    List the recording costs for all Artists � show each Artist on a separate line with their name and total amount, charge for using the studio is $1000 per hour or part thereof, example for a 1 hour and 10 minute recording the Artist will be billed for 2 hours.
    List all the Recording�s one Artist has worked on (sub menu of Artists needed), the list should show whether they were the Artist or a guestArtist
    Exit program
    Use fixed sizes for arrays, suggest 20 is suitable for all arrays. Java can handle dynamic data structures (where the number of elements can grow or shrink), but that is beyond a first assignment.
    Do NOT make ANY methods static - this defeats the Object Oriented approach and will result in ZERO marks for the entire assignment.
    Data MUST be encapsulated, this means that all the data relating to an object are to be stored INSIDE an object. None of the data detail is to be globally available within your program - hence do not store Artist names in either Studio or Recordings � just store a reference instead. Do NOT create ID numbers for Artists, you should use References instead � for many students this will be the hardest part as you have to use Objects, not program in a C style to solve the problem. Note that if there are any non-private data in classes then zero will given for marks for encapsulation.
    Good programming style is expected (see web page or lecture notes). In particular, you must use javadoc to generate a set of html pages for your classes. Make sure you use the special javadoc style comments in your source code. Marks will be granted for both using javadoc and also for including sensible javadoc comments on each class and each public method.
    What to Hand In
    Read the turnin page, basically the .java files, a readme.txt to tell the marker which file the program starts from plus the javadoc (html) files. Do NOT send .class files (if you do send these we will delete them and recompile your program), do NOT compress with gtar, tar, zip or use any other tool on your files. Turnin automatically compresses all your files into a single archive for us to mark.
    The simplest way to turnin all your files is to place all files in one directory then just use the *.* wildcard to turn in all files within that one directory.
    You must turnin all files that are not part of Java 1.3. In particular, you are allowed (actually encouraged) to use EasyIn or SavitchIn but should include the one you use in the files you submit. It is STRONGLY suggested that you copy all the files into another directory, test it works there by compiling and executing then turnin files from that directory. A common problem is students adding comments at the last minute then not testing if it still compiles. The assignment will be marked as submitted � no asking later for leniency because you added comments at the last minute and failed to check if it still worked.
    If the tutors are unable to compile your submission, they will mark the source code but you will lose all the execution marks. Sorry, but it is your responsibility to test then hand in all files.
    Comments
    For CS807 students, this program should be fairly easy if it was to be programmed in C (you would use several struct). The real art here is to change over to programming objects. Data is contained in an object and is not global. This idea is essential to using Java effectively and is termed encapsulation. Instead of using function(data), you use objectName.method( ). Effectively you switch the data and functions around, the data has a method (function) attached to it, not the other way around as in C (where you have a function and send data to it).
    While there will be some marks for execution, the majority of the marks will be given for how well you write your code (including comments and documentation) and for how well you used O-O principles. Programs written in a C style with most of the code in one class or using static will receive ZERO marks regardless of how well they work.
    You are responsible for checking your turnin by reading the messages turnin responds with. Failure to read these messages will not be an acceptable excuse for submitting an incorrect assignment. About 2% of assignments sent to turnin are unreadable (usually empty) and obtain 0.
    Late submissions
    Late submissions will only be accepted with valid reasons for being late. All requests for assignment extensions must be made via email to the lecturer. Replies for acceptance or refusal will made by email. Instant replies are unrealistic (there is usually a flood of queries into my mail box around assignment due dates) and the best advice is to ask at least 4 days in advance so that you will have a reasonable chance of getting a timely reply and allow yourself enough time to submit something on time if the extension is not granted.
    ALL late submissions will be marked LAST and will NOT be sent to tutors for marking until all other assignments have been marked. As an example, if you submit late and your assignment is not yet marked by the time assignment 2 is due then it will be pushed to the end of the marking pile as the assignments that were submitted on time for assignment 2 will take priority.
    If you make a second submission after the submission date, only the first submission will be marked. We will not mark assignments twice! You can update your submission BEFORE the submission date if you need to - this will just overwrite the first submission. The latest time for a late submission is 5pm on the Wednesday after the due date. This is because, either a solution will be handed out at that lecture or details of the assignment will be discussed at the lecture. I cannot accept any assignment submissions after that time for any reason at all including medical or other valid reasons. For those who are given permission to be later than the maximum submission time � a different assignment will be handed out. Remember, if you decide to submit late you are VERY UNLIKELY to receive feedback on your assignments during semester.
    Assignments will be removed from turnin and archived elsewhere then forwarded to tutors for marking on the morning after the assignment is due. A different tutor will mark each of your assignments � do not expect the tutor you see at the tutorials to be your marker.
    Marks will be returned via email to your computer science yallara account � ideally within 2 weeks. I will send marks out when I receive them so do not send email asking where your marks are just because a friend has theirs. If you want your email forwarded to an external account, then place a valid .forward file into your yallara account. The Help Desk on level 10 can assist you in setting this up if you do not know how to do it.

    I have seen other people who have blatantly asked for
    other people to do their homework for them, but you
    are the first person I've seen to actually cut and
    paste the entire assignment as it was handed to you.
    Amazing.
    Well, unlike some of the people you're talking about, it seems like zyangfan did at least take a stab at it himself, and does have a question that is somewhat more sepcific that "please do this homework for me."
    Zyangfan,
    marendoj is right, though. Posting the entire assignment is kind of tacky. If you want to post some of it to show us what you're trying to do, please trim it down to the essential points. We don't need to see all the instructor's policies and such.
    Anyway, let me see if I understand what you're asking. You said that you know how to write the code, but only by putting it all in one class, is that right? What part about using separate classes do you not understand? Do you not know how to make code in one class aware that the other class exists? Do you not know how code in class A can call a method in class B?
    Please be a bit more specifice about what you don't understand. And at least try using multiple classes, then when you can't figure out why something doesn't work, explain what you did, and what you think should have happened, and what did happen instead.
    To get you started on the basics (and this should have been covered in your course), you write the code for two classes just like for one class. That is, for class A, you create a file A.java and compile it to A.class. For class B, you create a file B.java and compile it to B.class. Given how rudimentary you question is, we'll skip packages for now. Just put all your class files in the same directory, and don't declare packages in the .java files.
    To call a method in class B from code that's in class A, you'll need an object of class B. You instantiate a B, and then call its methods.
    public class B {
      int count;
      public B() { // constructor
      public void increment() {
        count++;
    public class A {
      public static void main(String args[]) {
        B b = new B();
        b.increment();
    }Is this what you were asking?

  • Question about required workshop classes for OCP

    Im working on finishing up my OCP in a few months. Quick question about the workshop class. Is there a test at the end of the week?
    Also how do most people pay for these classes? They are pretty steep and my company doesnt pay for stuff like this for me. Im paying totally out of my own pocket. Also why is the online class the same amount as the instructor lead class? Its not like im in a room at some building that Oracle has to lease for use or something.

  • Less dumb follow-up question about super/sub classes in WDJ?

    This is a follow-up question to the question which Maksim answered in this thread:
    Dumb question about super/sub classes in WDJ
    Question:
    Is there any kind of weird C++-like statement that you can put at the top of a WDJ module to force the module to interpret any reference to superclass A as a reference to some specific subclass B of A ???

    David,
    1. Java has no preprocessor, so C++ tricks are not available. Also I would not recommend such tricks even in C++ if you don't want to turn your colleagues working with same code into personal enemies.
    2. The phrase "easier to create a WDJ custom class loader " makes me smile. First, it's not that simple to interfere WDJ class loading scheme. Plus custom class loaders is not trivial Java topic per se.
    3. The problem "replace all A-s with B-s" is typically solved using one or another GoF creation patterns, like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_factory_pattern">Abstract Factory</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_method_pattern">Factory Method</a>. You may use them with custom class loader, if you really want to
    By the way, all UI controls in WD are created using Abstract Factory (role played by view). So you may use this as good example.

    I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school.  Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom.  The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?

    Not as such.
    Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

  • Question about using new battery in old Powerbook

    I have a pre-intel Powerbook G4, and the battery is pretty much toast (lasts about 15 minutes now). I have ordered a new battery for it, and I have this question about using it:
    Am I smarter to keep the new strong battery out of the PB most days (as I usually work with it plugged in at home) and just pop it in when I know I will be out surfing on batteries? Or is it just as good living in my laptop 24/7 and only occasionally being called upon to do its job?
    Current bad Battery Information below:
    Battery Installed: Yes
    First low level warning: No
    Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1144
    Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1115
    Amperage (mA): 0
    Voltage (mV): 12387
    Cycle Count: 281
    thanks folks, Shereen

    Hi, Shereen. Every Powerbook battery wants to be used — drained and then recharged — at least every couple of weeks. If you've always used your Powerbook on AC power nearly all the time, and not followed that pattern of discharging and recharging the battery every week or two, it's possible that your use habits have shortened the lifespan and prematurely diminished the capacity of your old battery. Of course it's also possible that your battery is merely old, as a battery's capacity also diminishes with age regardless of how it's used. You didn't say how old the battery is in years, so this may or may not be an issue. I mention it only because it can be an issue.
    For general information on handling a battery for the longest possible lifespan, see this article. My advice on the basis of that article and long experience reading these forums is that it would be OK to do as you propose, but I doubt that you'd derive any significant benefit from it. You would still want to be sure of putting the new battery through a charge/discharge cycle every week or two, even if you didn't have a reason to use the Powerbook away from home or your desk, because sitting unused outside the computer is just as bad for a battery as sitting unused inside it. And you should never remove the battery from your computer when it's completely or almost completely discharged and let it sit that way any longer than a day or two.

  • Question about using TVARV in an ABAP program

    Hello gurus, Im sorry about the silly question.
    I have a question about using TVARV in an ABAP program.
    A program is presenting a problem and I think that in this code:
    SELECT SIGN OPTI LOW HIGH
      FROM TVARV
      INTO TABLE R_1_163431035_VELOCIDADE
      WHERE  NAME = '1_163431035_VELOCIDADE'
      AND    TYPE = 'S'.
      IF ZMM001-VELOCIDADE_B   IN R_1_163431035_VELOCIDADE AND
          ZOPERADORAS-OPERADORA = 'ABCD' AND
          ZMM001-MATERIAL       IN R_1_163431035_PRODUTO.
      ELSE.
      ENDIF.
    What happens is that the value "ZMM001-SPEED" B not exist in "R1_163431035_VELOCIDADE" but the program executes commands under the IF and not under the ELSE, as I imagine it would work. Is this correct ?
    I am new to ABAP programming, but I have a lot of XP in other programming languages ​​and this makes no sense to me.
    Anyone know where I can find some documentation of the use of "TVARV" in ABAP programs?
    I search the Internet if other programmers use TVARV this way, but found nothing, which leads me to think that was a quick and dirty solution that used here.
    If this is a bad way to program, what would be the best way?
    Regards
    Ronaldo.

    Hi Ronaldo,
    But in this case, the range is not empty, there are 17 records, in this way.:
    For the column "SING" all values ​​are "E"
    It means that the result is false if ZMM001-VELOCIDADE_B has the same value as one of the 17 records (E = exclude).
    For instance, if it has value 'C' and one of 17 records matches C, then the result is false.
    The "IF" with "IN" using "TVARV" as used in the program of the post above has the same behavior of a selection screen?
    Yes, the same behavior as the selection criterion to be exact. You can press the help key in the complex selection dialog for more info.
    I know it's a silly and very basic question, but other language that I used, only the SQL has the "IN" operator, but I think they work in different ways, so I would like to understand how it works in ABAP.
    Not silly ;-). Yes they work differently.

  • Question about Using PAPI Web Service in PowerBuilder 9

    Hi, all.
    I Have a simple question about using papiws in power builder 9.
    In pb9, I created a new Web Service Proxy Wizard and I input a url for papiws(ex. http://seraphpernote:7001/papiws/PapiWebService) and click next.
    But I couldn't get any Service List.
    In Eclipse, I used this url for using papiws well.
    Does anybody know about this case??
    help me plz.

    IIRC you must activate PAPI-WS for the engine. In Studio you do it by right-clicking on the project, then "engine preferences". In enterprise/standalone you must activate PAPI-WS in the Admin Center.

  • Question about using 10g/11g and APEX ...

    Hi,
    I just recently learned of Oracle's APEX and have a few questions about using it.
    Can I use APEX with express, standard, and enterprise editions of 10g and 11g?
    Are all of these free to use?

    You might want to read about APEX rather than jumping into questions that are reasonably well documented. Info at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
    Your specific questions:
    1) Apex is a package that can be installed into any properly licensed database.
    2) The price for the production license of the database varies by edition.
    The price for Express Edition is $0 for use in production. Part of the cost for that edition is 'no Oracle Support based support, no patches, data volume limitation, etc.'

  • Question about Using BufferedImage to create jpeg image

    I was puzzled by a problem about using of class BufferedImage. I want to dynamicly create a jpeg image with bufferedimage, the step is as follows:
    1.create a new bufferedImage object:
    BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage((int)imageWidth, (int)imageHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY);
    2.get the Graphics object from image:
         Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
    3.then draw string and any other graphics with graphics
