        // Simple concatenation with + is compiled to a StringBuilder and toString()
        // Avoid string concatenation in loops.

        //              the size is mutable.
        // LinkedLists - Implementation of doubly-linked list. All of the
        //               operations perform as could be expected for a
        //               doubly-linked list.
        // Maps - A mapping of key Objects to value Objects. Map is
        //        an interface and therefore cannot be instantiated.
        //        The type of keys and values contained in a Map must
        //        be specified upon instantiation of the implementing
        //        class. Each key may map to only one corresponding value,
        //        and each key may appear only once (no duplicates).
        // HashMaps - This class uses a hashtable to implement the Map
        //            interface. This allows the execution time of basic
        //            operations, such as get and insert element, to remain
        //            constant-amortized even for large sets.
        // TreeMap - A Map that is sorted by its keys. Each modification 
        //           maintains the sorting defined by either a Comparator
        //           supplied at instantiation, or comparisons of each Object
        //           if they implement the Comparable interface.
        //           Failure of keys to implement Comparable combined with failure to
        //           supply a Comparator will throw ClassCastExceptions.
        //           Insertion and removal operations take O(log(n)) time
        //           so avoid using this data structure unless you are taking
        //           advantage of the sorting.

// are lots of details and deals with some more intermediate concepts here:

// Interfaces
// Interface declaration syntax
// <access-level> interface <interface-name> extends <super-interfaces> {
//     // Constants
//     // Method declarations
// }

// Example - Food:
public interface Edible {
    public void eat(); // Any class that implements this interface, must
                       // implement this method.
}

public interface Digestible {
    public void digest();
    // Since Java 8, interfaces can have default method.
    public default void defaultMethod() {
        System.out.println("Hi from default method ...");
    }
}

// We can now create a class that implements both of these interfaces.
public class Fruit implements Edible, Digestible {
    @Override
    public void eat() {
        // ...
    }

    @Override
    public void digest() {
        // ...
    }
}

// In Java, you can extend only one class, but you can implement many
// interfaces. For example:
public class ExampleClass extends ExampleClassParent implements InterfaceOne,
    InterfaceTwo {
    @Override
    public void InterfaceOneMethod() {
    }

    @Override
    public void InterfaceTwoMethod() {

// Abstract Classes

// Abstract Class declaration syntax
// <access-level> abstract class <abstract-class-name> extends
// <super-abstract-classes> {
//     // Constants and variables
//     // Method declarations
// }

// Abstract Classes cannot be instantiated.
// Abstract classes may define abstract methods.
// Abstract methods have no body and are marked abstract
// Non-abstract child classes must @Override all abstract methods
// from their super-classes.
// Abstract classes can be useful when combining repetitive logic
// with customised behavior, but as Abstract classes require
// inheritance, they violate "Composition over inheritance"
// so consider other approaches using composition.
// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance

public abstract class Animal
{
    private int age;

    public abstract void makeSound();

    // Method can have a body
    public void eat()
    {
        System.out.println("I am an animal and I am Eating.");
        // Note: We can access private variable here.
        age = 30;
    }

    public void printAge()
    {
        System.out.println(age);

    // Abstract classes can have main method.
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println("I am abstract");
    }

class Dog extends Animal
{

    {
        System.out.println("Bark");
        // age = 30;    ==> ERROR!    age is private to Animal
    }

    // NOTE: You will get an error if you used the
    // @Override annotation here, since java doesn't allow
    // overriding of static methods.
    // What is happening here is called METHOD HIDING.
    // Check out this SO post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16313649/

// Final Classes

// Final Class declaration syntax
// <access-level> final <final-class-name> {
//     // Constants and variables
//     // Method declarations
// }

// Final classes are classes that cannot be inherited from and are therefore a
// final child. In a way, final classes are the opposite of abstract classes
// because abstract classes must be extended, but final classes cannot be
// extended.
public final class SaberToothedCat extends Animal
{
    // Note still have to override the abstract methods in the
    // abstract class.
    @Override
    public void makeSound()
    {
        System.out.println("Roar");
    }
}

// Final Methods
public abstract class Mammal()
{
    // Final Method Syntax:
    // <access modifier> final <return type> <function name>(<args>)

    // Final methods, like, final classes cannot be overridden by a child
    // class, and are therefore the final implementation of the method.
    public final boolean isWarmBlooded()
    {
        return true;
    }
}

// Enum Type
//
// An enum type is a special data type that enables for a variable to be a set
// of predefined constants. The variable must be equal to one of the values
// that have been predefined for it. Because they are constants, the names of
// an enum type's fields are in uppercase letters. In the Java programming
// language, you define an enum type by using the enum keyword. For example,
// you would specify a days-of-the-week enum type as:
public enum Day {
    SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY,
    THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY
}

// We can use our enum Day like that:
public class EnumTest {
    // Variable Enum
    Day day;

    public EnumTest(Day day) {
        this.day = day;
    }

    public void tellItLikeItIs() {
        switch (day) {
            case MONDAY:
                System.out.println("Mondays are bad.");
                break;
            case FRIDAY:
                System.out.println("Fridays are better.");
                break;
            case SATURDAY:
            case SUNDAY:
                System.out.println("Weekends are best.");
                break;
            default:
                System.out.println("Midweek days are so-so.");
                break;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EnumTest firstDay = new EnumTest(Day.MONDAY);
        firstDay.tellItLikeItIs(); // => Mondays are bad.
        EnumTest thirdDay = new EnumTest(Day.WEDNESDAY);
        thirdDay.tellItLikeItIs(); // => Midweek days are so-so.
    }
}

// Enum types are much more powerful than we show above.
// The enum body can include methods and other fields.
// You can see more at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/enum.html
