  1. A Quick Recursive Example CMSC 150

  2. Recall - StringList: A Recursive Class public class StringList { // instance variables private booleanisEmpty; private String thisString; private StringListrestOfStringList; // constructors public StringList() { … } public StringList(StringnewString, StringListaList) { … } public String toString() { … } public String getLineStartingWith(String prefix) { … } }

  3. StringList: Constructors public class StringList { // instance variables private booleanisEmpty; private String thisString; private StringListrestOfStringList; // constructors public StringList() { isEmpty = true; thisString = ""; restOfStringList = null; } • public StringList(String newString, StringListaList) { • isEmpty = false; • thisString = newString; • restOfStringList = aList; • } }

  4. Building a StringList In a method somewhere (maybe main ()) StringList strings = new StringList(); "" strings

  5. Building a StringList In a method somewhere (maybe main ()) StringList strings = new StringList(); strings = new StringList( "firstAdded", strings ); "" strings "firstAdded"

  6. Building a StringList In a method somewhere (maybe main ()) StringList strings = new StringList(); strings = new StringList( "firstAdded", strings ); strings = new StringList( "secondAdded", strings ); "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded"

  7. Building a StringList In a method somewhere (maybe main ()) StringList strings = new StringList(); strings = new StringList( "firstAdded", strings ); strings = new StringList( "secondAdded", strings ); strings = new StringList( "thirdAdded", strings); "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded" "thirdAdded"

  8. Creating the string version public String toString( ) { if (isEmpty) return ""; else return thisString + "\n" + restOfStringList.toString(); }

  9. Building a StringList public String toString( ) { if (isEmpty) return ""; else return thisString + "\n" + restOfStringList.toString(); } "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded" "thirdAdded" String toDisplay = strings.toString( ); toDisplay

  10. Building a StringList public String toString( ) { if (isEmpty) return ""; else return thisString + "\n" + restOfStringList.toString(); } "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded" "thirdAdded" String toDisplay = strings.toString( ); toDisplay

  11. Building a StringList public String toString( ) { if (isEmpty) return ""; else return thisString + "\n" + restOfStringList.toString(); } "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded" "thirdAdded" String toDisplay = strings.toString( ); toDisplay

  12. Building a StringList public String toString( ) { if (isEmpty) return ""; else return thisString + "\n" + restOfStringList.toString(); } "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded" "thirdAdded" String toDisplay = strings.toString( ); toDisplay

  13. Building a StringList public String toString( ) { if (isEmpty) return ""; else return thisString + "\n" + restOfStringList.toString(); } "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded" "thirdAdded" String toDisplay = strings.toString( ); toDisplay

  14. Building a StringList public String toString( ) { if (isEmpty) return ""; else return thisString + "\n" + restOfStringList.toString(); } "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded" "thirdAdded" String toDisplay = strings.toString( ); toDisplay

  15. Building a StringList public String toString( ) { if (isEmpty) return ""; else return thisString + "\n" + restOfStringList.toString(); } "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded" "thirdAdded" String toDisplay = strings.toString( ); toDisplay

  16. Building a StringList "firstAdded " public String toString( ) { if (isEmpty) return ""; else return thisString + "\n" + restOfStringList.toString(); } "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded" "thirdAdded" String toDisplay = strings.toString( ); toDisplay

  17. Building a StringList "secondAdded firstAdded " public String toString( ) { if (isEmpty) return ""; else return thisString + "\n" + restOfStringList.toString(); } "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded" "thirdAdded" String toDisplay = strings.toString( ); toDisplay

  18. Building a StringList "thirdAdded secondAdded firstAdded " public String toString( ) { if (isEmpty) return ""; else return thisString + "\n" + restOfStringList.toString(); } "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded" "thirdAdded" String toDisplay = strings.toString( ); toDisplay

  19. Building a StringList "thirdAdded secondAdded firstAdded " public String toString( ) { if (isEmpty) return ""; else return thisString + "\n" + restOfStringList.toString(); } "" strings "secondAdded" "firstAdded" "thirdAdded" String toDisplay = strings.toString( ); toDisplay thirdAdded secondAdded firstAdded
