JAVA AWT: Choice, List & Canvas

Java AWT Choice

The object of Choice class is used to show popup menu of choices. Choice selected by user is shown on the top of a menu. It inherits Component class.

AWT Choice Class Declaration

  1. public class Choice extends Component implements ItemSelectable, Accessible  

Java AWT Choice Example

  1. import java.awt.*;  
  2. public class ChoiceExample  
  3. {  
  4.         ChoiceExample(){  
  5.         Frame f= new Frame();  
  6.         Choice c=new Choice();  
  7.         c.setBounds(100,10075,75);  
  8.         c.add("Item 1");  
  9.         c.add("Item 2");  
  10.         c.add("Item 3");  
  11.         c.add("Item 4");

Standard and Formatted Input / Output in C++

The C++ standard libraries provide an extensive set of input/output capabilities which we will see in subsequent chapters. This chapter will discuss very basic and most common I/O operations required for C++ programming. C++ I/O occurs in streams, which are sequences of bytes. If bytes flow from a device like a keyboard, a disk drive, or a network connection etc. to main memory, this is called   input operation   and if bytes flow from main memory to a device like a display screen, a printer, a disk drive, or a network connection, etc., this is called   output operation . Standard Input and Output in C++ is done through the use of  streams . Streams are generic places to send or receive data. In C++, I/O is done through classes and objects defined in the header file  <iostream> .  iostream  stands for standard input-output stream. This header file contains definitions to objects like  cin ,  cout , etc. /O Library Header Files There are...

Genetic Algorithm: Population, Fitness Function, Parent Selection, Cross over, Mutation

Genetic Algo Population Population is a subset of solutions in the current generation. It can also be defined as a set of chromosomes. There are several things to be kept in mind when dealing with GA population − The diversity of the population should be maintained otherwise it might lead to premature convergence. The population size should not be kept very large as it can cause a GA to slow down, while a smaller population might not be enough for a good mating pool. Therefore, an optimal population size needs to be decided by trial and error. The population is usually defined as a two dimensional array of –  size population, size x, chromosome size . Population Initialization There are two primary methods to initialize a population in a GA. They are − Random Initialization  − Populate the initial population with completely random solutions. Heuristic initialization  − Populate the initial population using a known heuristic for the problem. It has been observed that the e...

C++ (Object and Class)

The major purpose of C++ programming is to introduce the concept of object orientation to the C programming language. Object Oriented Programming is a paradigm that provides many concepts such as  inheritance, data binding, polymorphism etc. The programming paradigm where everything is represented as an object is known as truly object-oriented programming language.  Smalltalk  is considered as the first truly object-oriented programming language. OOPs (Object Oriented Programming System) Object  means a real word entity such as pen, chair, table etc.  Object-Oriented Programming  is a methodology or paradigm to design a program using classes and objects. It simplifies the software development and maintenance by providing some concepts: Object Class Inheritance Polymorphism Abstraction Encapsulation C++ Object In C++, Object is a real world entity, for example, chair, car, pen, mobile, laptop etc. In other words, object is an ent...
