If you have not printed my "Collection
Class hierarchy" diagram do it now. You will find it very useful
as you read M206 chapters 23, 24, 26, 29 on Smalltalks Collection classe
See also the new Open University Smalltalk Handbook page 3, for a Listing
of the M206 Smalltalk class hierarchy. Careful cheching of my "Collection
Class hierarchy" and the M206 Smalltalk class hierarchy will
show that I have a few more classes listed as follows:
| Class |
Comment |
| Bag |
I am surprissed at this ommision because the M206 course usually
had questions based on the difference between the Bag and Set classes |
| Pool Dictionary, Interval, List, Text, |
As far as I can remember I don't think that these classes were covered
in any detail in the M206 course, and may now have been dropped. Although
they are probably still viewable in Learning Works. |
ByteEncodedSting I can't see any reference to this Class
in the class browser in Learning Works that I am using.
The collection class is a very important class and you should fully check
out the hierarchy, and methods used for each class. This is a fairly complicated
class, and many students and tutors have tabulated various tables that
help with the process of understanding the classes. These are available
in the downloads below. I suggest that you print some of these out then
as you read the Open University chapters verify the facts and tick or
highlight the verified facts, you may also like to add page references
to the printouts.
