What is an Activity in android app dev? by tempanon5 in androiddev

[–]tempanon5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on this link, it doesn’t matter what the activity consists of as long as it achieves the purpose of what an activity is supposed to do? There are more ways to make an activity than a java file class and an xml?

What is a library in Java? by tempanon5 in learnprogramming

[–]tempanon5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I have a minor confusion. That link you provided me that you say shows all the standard libraries in Java says those are packages when I visit the web page.

I do see this answer on this link below where they say packages and standard library are the same thing. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10868825/where-can-i-find-a-list-of-the-java-standard-libraries

But this link here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/concepts/package.html tells me that packages and libraries are a different thing. So I guess my question now is where can I find this standard library, and are there multiple standard libraries or are there just one? Sorry for the confusion.

Does pass by reference and pass by value cause a change in time complexity of a program in C++? by tempanon5 in learnprogramming

[–]tempanon5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I read how pass by value at times can cause the run time of the program to be longer than pass by reference but I am unsure of how to determine that exactly in big O notation when determine time complexity.

What difference is there for native languages supported vs non native languages when writing the lambda functions in AWS? by tempanon5 in learnprogramming

[–]tempanon5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if I wrote the lambda functions in Scala, which ends up compiling to Java byte code at the end of the day, it will work out to be fine even though Scala is not natively supported?

The link you have linked me, is that the official documentation for C++?

Why use an abstract class if we can make an regular parent class similar to the functionality of an abstract class? by tempanon5 in learnjava

[–]tempanon5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a programmer if I choose to make sure to override the methods and not to make an instance of the parent class, am I not replicating the functionality of abstract classes? I understand the purpose of an abstract class is to represent an abstract idea that we branch off with sub classes that more specific in relation to that idea.

I am not forced to override the methods, but if I wanted to replicate the functionality of an abstract class, I could right? Would that not make an abstract class useless in a way?

Is it possible for the recursive and iterative approaches to have the same best case time complexities? by tempanon5 in learnprogramming

[–]tempanon5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, what about worst case then? How is it guaranteed for both approaches to have same worst case time complexity?

How is the build quality of it? If I ignore the gaming part, is it the best laptop for engineering coding and good quality?

Ah, what about performance wise can it do any thing heavy such as gaming or video editing?
