    Default I need ur help :|

    hi all ..

    plzzzz...I am novice in Java and I have some queries about some programs that my teacher give them to us.. so I need ur help ..

    Program 1:

    // prints the following:
        //
        // Missy: Meowww!
        // Garfield: Meowww!
        // Lassie: Arf! Arf!
    //
     
     
    interface Animal
    {
        String getName();
        String talk();
    }
     
    abstract class AnimalBase implements Animal
    {
    private final String name;
     
    protected AnimalBase(String name)
        {
            this.name = name;
        }
     
    public String getName()
        {
    return name;
        }
    }
     
    class Cat extends AnimalBase
    {
    public Cat(String name)
        {
    super(name);
        }
     
    public String talk()
        {
    return "Meowww!";
        }
    }
     
    class Dog extends AnimalBase
    {
    public Dog(String name)
        {
    super(name);
        }
     
    public String talk()
        {
    return "Arf! Arf!";
        }
    }
     
    public class TestAnimals
    {
     
    public static void main(String[] args)
        {
    Animal[] animals = 
            {
    new Cat("Missy"),
    new Cat("Mr. Mistoffelees"),
    new Dog("Lassie")
            };
     
    for (Animal a : animals)
            {
    System.out.println(a.getName() + ": " + a.talk());
            }
        }
    }



    private final String name;
    here..why she use " final "?

    protected AnimalBase(String name)
        {
            this.name = name;
        }

    What is the benefit of " this. " ?

    and also why she use "protected" and what is the benefit of it ?

    for (Animal a : animals)

    why she use this "for" and what is the benefit of it ?

    thanx a lot ..and plz I want the answers at nearest time

    I was going to type up explanations to your questions, but it would probably take too long for you, so I won't.

    I was being facetious. You should read the link in my signature on asking smart questions. Basically, if you want people to take your question seriously, you should use meaningful post titles (we know you need help, that's why you're here, and generic post titles usually just get ignored), you should use proper grammar and spelling (plz isn't a word), and you shouldn't mention the urgency of your question or your time (otherwise people will assume you think your time is more valuable than the time of others here).

    Also, many of your questions are better answered by a quick google search. Tell us what you find, and we'll go from there.

    The link refers to that syntax as an enhanced for loop. Again, google is your friend.

    There really isn't a "benefit" other than not needing to keep track of indexes or use them to access the Objects in the array. It's a bit of "syntactic sugar" that gives people a shortcut to using indexes or an Iterator (although, the enhanced for is using an Iterator under the hood).

    If you're unsure after reading the link about Java for loops, do a google search on "for each loops".

    the "for" loop works like this:
    for(at what point loop starts(u have to define a variable beginning) use semicolion to separate it, where the loop ends (u have to define a variable (the same which first time)) |semicolion| and here u have to give a formula how that variable will reach the end point from the beginning)
    but this is very simple sample. Google this and u will find out that this is very useful when u r blanking it.

    example (try it and watch what will happen).

    for(int i=0; i <10; i++){
    System.out.println(i); }
