* I'd believe the most likely thing you want to look for is a object within an object, especially one with methods that seem to 'pair' the two objects to eachother.
|
||||
* If you tried to implement the second object within a different outer class, how much code would have to change to handle this larger usability?
|
||||
* Loose Coupling
|
||||
|
||||
* For example, a Teacher and a Student. Interactions between these two objects can be observed as infrequently as one desires, to the point where one can exist without the other.

* Ternary Operators
|
||||
|
||||
* Ternary Operators are a uncommon operator, and while AP test graders should know of it, it might be better to retreat to a much simpler `if else` statement in the long run.
|
||||
* Variable Names

* Try to decipher what most people would likely name a variable from the prompt.

#### Primitive Arrays

### When Primitive Array Casts Are Required

|

Primitive Arrays can be declared and
|

Primitive Arrays can be declared and initialized in all these ways.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
int[] myIntArray = new int[3];
|
||||
int[] myIntArray = {1, 2, 3};
|
||||
int[] myIntArray = new int[]{1, 2, 3};
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Option 3 may seem rather extraneous to the Java language, but it actually has a very specific purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
static String[] method() {
|
||||
return {"Method1", "Method2", "Method3"};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
will not compile, as the compiler expects a type for primitive array literals.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
static String[] method2() {
|
||||
return new String[]{"Method1", "Method2", "Method3"};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It also expects a `new`, not just `String[]` before the *literal* part of a literal array definition.
