The end of the program

At this point, the main method terminates causing the program to terminate.

Run the program

I encourage you to copy the code from Listing 6 , compile it and execute it. Experiment with the code, making changes, and observing the results of yourchanges. Make certain that you can explain why your changes behave as they do.

Summary

You learned about the following OOP concepts, among others in this module.

  • Multiple levels of indirection
  • A one-element array of type Object
  • Storing a reference to an object in an array element as type Object
  • An anonymous object
  • Passing a reference to a subclass object as type Object
  • Downcasting an incoming object reference to access a method

What's next?

You will learn how to use nested loops to process pixels on a row and column basis in the next module.

Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter,it composition,it structure and the changes it undergoes

chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
