Unit 7: ArrayLists - Review Assignment

This review will guide you through an adaptive, research-backed study session. As you answer questions, we will actively assess your current understanding of the material. Questions will continue to be drawn until you have demonstrated mastery of each learning objective.

Reviews are graded based on completion. You will receive full credit for achieving 100% mastery or answering all questions.

Learning objectives for this review:

  • Understand the concept of ArrayLists in Java and their advantages over arrays, including dynamic resizing and flexibility in handling collections of objects
  • Learn and demonstrate proficiency in using common methods provided by the ArrayList class, such as add(), remove(), get(), size(), and clear(), to manipulate and manage elements within ArrayLists in Java
  • Develop the ability to traverse (or iterate over) ArrayLists using loops (such as for or enhanced for loops), accessing and processing each element sequentially to perform tasks such as summing values, finding maximum or minimum values, or searching for specific elements in Java
  • Apply knowledge of ArrayLists to develop algorithms that solve various problems, such as sorting, searching, counting occurrences, or performing mathematical computations, demonstrating the ability to translate algorithmic concepts into efficient code using ArrayLists in Java
  • Understand and apply searching algorithms (e.g., linear search, binary search) to efficiently locate elements within ArrayLists in Java, considering factors such as time complexity and data organization
  • Learn and apply sorting algorithms (e.g., bubble sort, insertion sort, merge sort) to arrange elements within ArrayLists in ascending or descending order in Java, understanding the trade-offs between different sorting techniques in terms of time and space complexity
  • Explore and discuss ethical considerations related to data collection and storage, including topics such as privacy, consent, data security, and the responsible use of data in decision-making processes
