Writing Classes in AP Computer Science A

the same as the return type of the method.

always "String."

the same as the type of the instance variable being modified.

Mutator methods never have any parameters.

Static methods within the class can no longer access or alter instance fields effectively locking down data modification capabilities completely.

Each bank account object's static fields become protected and inaccessible from other classes' methods directly.

Instance fields in each bank account object become final after first modification disallowing further updates entirely.

All bank account objects will unintentionally share and modify this single piece of data rather than maintaining unique values per account.

Including additional helper methods that use linear operations.

Looping through the dataset multiple times for data validation.

Changing a linear search to binary search within the mutator.

Adding more conditional checks inside the mutator.

transmutable

immutable

mutable

accessible

Protects fields from being changed in undesired ways by external classes

Allows direct access to the variables in order to reduce the number of method calls needed

Reduces memory usage since no more methods are added

Increases execution time as fewer method checks are required

An updated value after setting it correctly.

The original value before modification occurred.

True or false based on successful modification.

No value; it has a void return type.

To create a new instance of a class with predefined states for its instance variables.

To modify the state of an object by changing the values of its instance variables.

To retrieve information about the state of an object without modifying it.

To compare two objects to determine if they have identical states and behaviors.

The constructor has a parameter.

The newTemp variable does not exist.

The resetTemp has a return type of "void."

The resetTemp assigns a double value to an int variable.

setAge(int age)

getAge(int age)

printAge(int age)
