Python to Java
The Java Compiler (and also the command you call to compile Java code)
What is javac?
The keyword used to reference the current instance of a class from within itself
What is this?
A core feature that allows different classes to reuse code
What is inheritance?
This is what an unbalanced tree becomes in the worst case scenario
What is a list?
Functions that are part of a class
What are methods?
The code outputted from a compiler - higher level than machine code but lower level than the source code
What is bytecode?
When multiple versions of the same method that differ by parameter lists are made
What is overloading?
A method must be declared as this if it does not have a body
What is abstract?
The time complexity of searching through any BST or heap
What is O(log(N))?
Used to indicate that a method in a child is replacing a method with the same signature in its parents
What is override?
This keyword marks a method or field as belonging to the class, instead of the object
What is static?
A blueprint or template for a category of things
What is a class?
The keyword used to refer to a parent's implementation
What is super?
An interface implemented by a separate class that wants to define order for some other class
(Bonus point for the method)
What is Comparator?
(Bonus: compare(a, b))
This indicates that a child type may be used anywhere a parent type is expected AND what appears to be one method may at run time be a different implementation
What is polymorphism?
Converting from a more complex type to a less complex type
What is casting?
This method is used to determine a custom equivalency check for an object
What is equals()?
A type of class that has no state and only abstract behavior
What is an interface?
A linked-node structure that doesn't have a parent/child relationship between the nodes
What is a graph?
A special kind of class in which all possible instances are specified during declaration
What is an enum/an enumeration?
All variables must be declared with a type and a name
What is static typing?
The language name for the diagram standard for OOP systems
What is Unified Modeling Language (UML)?
A child inherits all the accessible state and behavior of its parent class except for this
What is a constructor?
An algorithm for traversing a tree that starts at the root of the tree and explores all of the neighbor nodes at the present depth before moving on to the next depth level
What is Breadth-First Search (BFS)?
Refers to the use of access modifiers to protect access to state and behavior AND the fact that an instance keeps related state and behavior together in one container
What is encapsulation?
