Exam Review

Today was mostly exam review. We focused in on the following likely question areas:

• Strings, StringBuffers, and the differences
• References, Objects, .equals() vs ==
• Describing patterns using Java's RexEx, including Greedy/Reluctant/Posessive
• Using Java's Pattern and Matcher classes, including grouping and iterating through groups
• Minor, incidental use of Scanner for I/O
• Array manipulation, possibly via the implementation of a sort or modified sort, or a method such as findAndShiftToFront(), findAndSwapWithPredecessor(), etc
• Big-O, probably through the analysis of a modified sort or other well-known algorithm
