Side A ------ Side B
Asynchronous ------ 1) Not occurring at the same moment in time as some specific operation of the computer2) In other words, not synchronized with the program's actions
Boolean Expression ------ A sequence of identifiers, separated by compatible operators, that evaluates to either true or false
Bytecode ------ A standard machine language into which Java source code is compiled
Case Sensitive ------ 1) Uppercase and lowercase letters are not considered the same2) Two identifiers with the same spelling but different capitalization are considered to be two distinct identifiers
Class (Implementation Phase) ------ A pattern for an object
Compiler ------ A program that translates a high-level language program into machine code
Control Structure ------ An instruction that determines the order in which other instructions in a program are executed
Data Type ------ A description of the set of values and the basic set of operations that can be applied to values of the type
Declaration ------ A statement that associates an identifier with a variable, an action, or some other entity within the language that can be given a name so that the programmer can refer to that item by name
Encapsulation ------ 1) Bundling data and actions so that the logical properties of data and actions are separated from the implementation details2) A language feature that enforces information hiding
Fields ------ 1) Named items in a class2) Can be data or subprograms
Inheritance ------ A mechanism by which one class acquires the properties-data fields and methods-of another class
Instantiate ------ To create an object from a class
Interpreter ------ A program that inputs a program in a high-level language and directs the computer to perform the actions specified in each statement
Method ------ A named algorithm that defines one aspect of the behavior of a class
Object ------ 1) A collection of data values and associated operations2) An entity or thing that is relevant in the context of a problem
Object (implementation phase) ------ An instance of a class
Object (problem-solving phase) ------ An entity or thing that is relevant in the context of a problem
Object class (class) ------ A description of a group of objects with properties (data) and behaviors (actions)
Object class (class)(problem-solving phase) ------ A description of a group of objects with similar properties and behaviors
Polymorphism ------ The ability of a language to have duplicate method names is an inheritance hierarchy and to apply the method that is appropriate for the object to which the method is applied
Reserved Word ------ 1) A word in a language that has special meaning2) It cannot be used as an identifier
Strong Typing ------ Each variable is assigned a type, and only values of that type can stored in the variable
Brainstorming ------ The stage in which we make a first pass at determining the classes in the problem
Scenarios ------ The stage in which the behavior of each class is determined
Filtering ------ The stage in which we go back over the proposed classes determined in the brainstorming stage to see if any can be combined or if any are missing
Responsibility Algorithms ------ The last stage in which the algorithms are written for the responsibilities for each of the classes
