I have a lot of magic numbers and strings in my project and I would like to replace them with constants. The thing is I remember I used, a lot of time ago, a class to hold all the constants that I would call in the code statically. It is a university project and I need to use Java design patterns.
I read a few posts here about the magic number 0xCAFEBABE in the beginning of each java .class file and wanted to know why it is needed - what is the purpose of this marking?
Is it still needed anymore? or is it just for backwards compatibility now?
The magic number is basically an identifier for a file format. A JPEG for example always starts with FFD8. It is not necessary for Java itself, it simply helps to identify the file-type. You can read more about magic numbers here.
Well, they presumably had to pick something as their magic number to identify class files, and there's a limit to how many Java or coffee related words you can come up with using just the letters A-F :-)
As to why the magic number is 3405691582 (0xCAFEBABE), well my guess is that (a) 32-bit magic numbers are easier to handle and more likely to be unique, and (b) the Java team wanted something with the Java-coffee metaphor, and since there's no 'J' or 'V' in hexadecimal, settled for something with CAFE in it. I guess they figured "CAFE BABE" was sexier than something like "A FAB CAFE" or "CAFE FACE", and definitely didn't like the implications of "CAFE A FAD" (or worse, "A BAD CAFE").
Don't know why I missed this before, but they could have used the number 12648430, if you choose to read the hex zeros as the letter 'O'. That gives you 0xC0FFEE, or 0x00C0FFEE to specify all 32 bits. OO COFFEE? Object Oriented, of course... :-)
I originally saw 0xCAFEBABE as a magic number used by NeXTSTEP. NX used "fat binaries", which were basically binaries for different platforms stuck together in one executable file. If you were running on NX Intel, it would run the Intel binary; if on HP, it would run the HP binary. 0xCAFEBABE was the magic number to distinguish either the Intel or the Motorola binaries ( can't remember which ).
The idea is that you just have to read the first few bytes of the file to know if this is most likely a Java class file or not. If the first bytes are not equal to the magic number, then you know for sure that it is not a valid Java class file.
It's fairly common practice with binary files to have some sort of fixed identifier at the beginning (e.g. zip files begin with the characters PK). This reduces the possibility of accidentally trying to interpret the wrong sort of file as a class file.
The issue is that I do not have class with name MyClass.1. The only class I have is MyClass.
Jacoco adds number after the class name. And in order to exclude the class I have to write something like this:
A Java class file is a file (with the .mw-parser-output .monospacedfont-family:monospace,monospace.class filename extension) containing Java bytecode that can be executed on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). A Java class file is usually produced by a Java compiler from Java programming language source files (.java files) containing Java classes (alternatively, other JVM languages can also be used to create class files). If a source file has more than one class, each class is compiled into a separate class file.
Class files are identified by the following 4 byte header (in hexadecimal): CA FE BA BE (the first 4 entries in the table below). The history of this magic number was explained by James Gosling referring to a restaurant in Palo Alto:[2]
"We used to go to lunch at a place called St Michael's Alley. According to local legend, in the deep dark past, the Grateful Dead used to perform there before they made it big. It was a pretty funky place that was definitely a Grateful Dead Kinda Place. When Jerry died, they even put up a little Buddhist-esque shrine. When we used to go there, we referred to the place as Cafe Dead. Somewhere along the line it was noticed that this was a HEX number. I was re-vamping some file format code and needed a couple of magic numbers: one for the persistent object file, and one for classes. I used CAFEDEAD for the object file format, and in grepping for 4 character hex words that fit after "CAFE" (it seemed to be a good theme) I hit on BABE and decided to use it.At that time, it didn't seem terribly important or destined to go anywhere but the trash-can of history. So CAFEBABE became the class file format, and CAFEDEAD was the persistent object format. But the persistent object facility went away, and along with it went the use of CAFEDEAD - it was eventually replaced by RMI."
Because the class file contains variable-sized items and does not also contain embedded file offsets (or pointers), it is typically parsed sequentially, from the first byte toward the end. At the lowest level the file format is described in terms of a few fundamental data types:
Some of these fundamental types are then re-interpreted as higher-level values (such as strings or floating-point numbers), depending on context.There is no enforcement of word alignment, and so no padding bytes are ever used.The overall layout of the class file is as shown in the following table.
The constant pool table is where most of the literal constant values are stored. This includes values such as numbers of all sorts, strings, identifier names, references to classes and methods, and type descriptors. All indexes, or references, to specific constants in the constant pool table are given by 16-bit (type u2) numbers, where index value 1 refers to the first constant in the table (index value 0 is invalid).
Due to historic choices made during the file format development, the number of constants in the constant pool table is not actually the same as the constant pool count which precedes the table. First, the table is indexed starting at 1 (rather than 0), but the count should actually be interpreted as the maximum index plus one.[6] Additionally, two types of constants (longs and doubles) take up two consecutive slots in the table, although the second such slot is a phantom index that is never directly used.
The type of each item (constant) in the constant pool is identified by an initial byte tag. The number of bytes following this tag and their interpretation are then dependent upon the tag value. The valid constant types and their tag values are:

Could anyone here give me a brief preview of what this system entails? Is it a vancian casting system or something different? Is there a space wizard class, and if so are there rules for an adventurer to be part space wizard?
Magic is similar to traditional Vancian magic, but I drastically cut the number of spells-per-day allowed to casters, increased their spell choice flexibility by allowing them to cast from a relatively larger pool of prepared spells, and substantially boosted the power of individual spells. The idea is that the mage should have a relatively low number of very potent spells that may or may not be exactly what the situation needs.
So as to give Mages something to do when they're not casting spells, they get "arts", relatively minor magic abilities that are fueled with Effort a la SWN's Psychic class. These abilities are keyed to their specific Mage class, so a High Mage has arts revolving around manipulating and boosting magic, an Elementalist has elemental tricks, a Necromancer has necromancer-esque arts, and so forth.
To represent magical shticks that are relatively weaker than full casting, some Mage classes only exist as Partial Mage picks- if you're a Healer or a Vowed, you're always picking another partial class to go with it, whether Warrior, Expert, or another flavor of Partial Mage. These shticks might not get any spellcasting powers at all, such as the strictly healing-related arts of the Healer, or the monk arts of the Vowed.
The class definition files (*.class) for Java applets are loaded over thenetwork. Sometimes during the transmission of files, the connection may beaborted, or may be scrambled, causing class loading to fail. Sometimes whencopying files over to a web server, they may become garbled or a disk errormight occur. For this reason, special care is taken by the JVM and the classloader, to verify that classes are intact. One of the precautions is that everyclass definition contains at the beginning the magic number, a sequence of fourbytes that identify a file as a Java class definition file.
For those curious to know what the magic number is, it is the hexadecimalnumber CAFEBABE, which is used by the class loader to see if a file is really aclass definition file. Please don't ask me why it spells out cafebabe - my guessit was an attempt at humor.

For set elements, the same immutability rules apply as for dictionary keys. Notethat numeric types obey the normal rules for numeric comparison: if two numberscompare equal (e.g., 1 and 1.0), only one of them can be contained in aset.
When an instance method object is created by retrieving a classmethodobject from a class or instance, its __self__ attribute is theclass itself, and its __func__ attribute is the function objectunderlying the class method.
When an instance method object is called, the underlying function(__func__) is called, inserting the class instance(__self__) in front of the argument list. For instance, whenC is a class which contains a definition for a functionf(), and x is an instance of C, calling x.f(1) isequivalent to calling C.f(x, 1).
