mmm irish cream mocha....

I remember when i used to post stuff like that on a highly technical thread that i didnt understand.

Satis ended up knocking off something like 500 post count.

Ah the old days.

Man, thats tough, I guess its a good thing I dont give a poop about my post count.

<-- Drinking some java right now.

Elementary question:

What is x?

int[][] ex2Arr = {{2,1,4,6,8},{2,1,4,6,8}}
int i = 0;
x = ex2Arr[i].length;

x=5.

doesn't the .length method give you the number of elements in the array? And since i is defined as being 0, it references the first array of the array, which is 5 elements big.

right? I don't know java, but this looks an awful lot like other programming languages I've used (kinda a fusion of javascript and visual basic .net and shit)

Nah, its mainly just "shit".

You'd probably find Java a piece of piss Sat. I used to like it, now i fucking hate it with a vengeance. Its too low-level for me. I like to be on top!

1. Yes. But function do not get actually the whole array but the pointer to it.

2. Not beyound loops exactly. You can use them at any place in the function after the place where they are declared.

3. The value -1 is just an value which is not correct value of an index. In principle you could use -2, -3 etc. If function does not find any passing column, this parameter (it is return parameter as well) will stay set on -1 and the function will return it, so you can know that matrix consist of even numbers only. You can use one new boolean variable, which would be initialized to false on the start of the function, and assigned to true, when the first colmun with odd numbers is found.

4. Yes
5. Yes

6. If you mean, would (mat[0].length = 5) be correct, the answer is no. The variable length is declared as *final* which means that it cannot be changed after it is once assigned.

7. Nope... i is still just an counter.

8. The code int n = mostOddCol(ex2Arr); does the same as

int n;
n = mostOddCol(ex2Arr);

- So, the variable n will be declared.
- After that it will be assigned to a returned value from mostOddCol(ex2Arr).
- mostOddCol(ex2Arr) is the call of method mostOddCol with one argument - 2D array ex2Arr.

Now im screwing around with inheritance. Im getting my head around it, slowly, but (hopefully) surely.

Any tips you got to offer GFree?

children inherit from parents

parents don't inherit from children
