how to write an array?

Answered in 7.95 seconds

In many programming languages, including JavaScript, Python, and Java, an array is a structured data type that stores a group of objects (items or values) of the same kind. To create an array, you must declare it first. For example, in Java, you would write the following code to declare an array of integers:

java
Copy code
int[] myArray = new int[4];

This declares an array with 4 elements of type int. You can assign values to each of the elements using the array's index, like this:

java
Copy code
myArray[0] = 40; myArray[1] = 25; myArray[2] = 18; myArray[3] = 33;

format the date time

In order to format the date time, you will need to use the appropriate date-time library in the programming language you are using. For example, in Java, you can use the java.time library to format date-time objects.

You can use the LocalDateTime.format() method to format the date-time string. By specifying a DateTimeFormatter instance, you can customize your output format.

Java example:

code
Copy code
import java.time.LocalDateTime; import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter; // Format the current date-time DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-M-yyyy hh:mm:ss"); LocalDateTime localDateTime = LocalDateTime.now(); String dataTimeString = localDateTime.format(formatter); System.out.println(dateTimeString);

Output: 20-8-2018 11:48:27

👩‍💻 Technical question

Asked 2 years ago in Java by Shahrzad

would you explain polymorphism?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 15.39 seconds

Polymorphism is a concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) where an object can take on multiple forms. In other words, the same object can behave differently depending on the context in which it is used. For example, a Vehicle type in OOP can be a Car, a Motorcycle or a Bicycle, depending on which is being referenced. In Java, this is achieved by making a parent object (e.g. Vehicle) with common attributes and methods, and then having sub-types that inherit from the parent object and add specific attributes and methods (e.g. Car, Motorcycle and Bicycle).

In Java, Polymorphism is implemented through the use of Abstract Classes and Interfaces. Abstract Classes give the superclass the ability to define methods that all the subclasses will inherit. Interfaces on the other hand specify the type of objects that can be used by other classes, and provide a set of methods that all classes sharing the interface will have to implement.

Here is an example in Java of how polymorphism can be used:

java
Copy code
public abstract class Vehicle { // Attributes and Methods common to all Vehicles } public class Car extends Vehicle { // Unique attributes and methods applicable to only Cars } public class Motorcycle extends Vehicle { // Unique attributes and methods applicable to only Motorcycles } public class Bicycle extends Vehicle { // Unique attributes and methods applicable to only Bicycles }

The Vehicle class here defines methods and attributes that will be common to all types of vehicles, while the Car, Motorcycle and Bicycle subclasses each create specific implementations of those attributes and methods.

what is java?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 6.96 seconds

Java is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems (which is now part of Oracle Corporation) for developing applications for desktop and small-footprint devices. It is the most popular programming language for Android smartphone applications and is among the most favored for edge device and internet of things development. Java is a class-based, concurrent, strongly typed language with an emphasis on object-oriented programming. It has been written using C and C++ syntax, and its syntax is similar to those languages. Java can be used to create highly executable applications and applets for use in a network such as the internet, as well as in various embedded devices. More information on Java can be found here: https://www.java.com/en/.

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.

SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯

SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?

Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!

SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.

For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃

You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.

Here are some examples:

- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?

- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?

- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]

For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.

In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!

Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪

Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.

- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).

- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.

- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃

Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.

Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍

Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.

So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩‍💻🤝💻
