"Well, Amigo, are you ready for the Java Core quest?"

"I'm not sure. What do I need to do?"

"You need to get through the tenth level, of course! And not 'as soon as possible', but 'as well as possible'! Don't rush. Learn the theory and then complete the tasks. Here are some useful articles on the subject matter."

"I'm a little confused about widening/narrowing... It seems like a simple topic, but…"

"That's normal! Our wonderful articles will help you. And not just with widening and narrowing."

Widening and narrowing of primitive types

"To start, let's re-read about widening and narrowing of primitive types (those types that are not objects). This is the simplest thing, but can be forgotten quickly without practice. So, let's read and practice."

Fixed values in Java: final, constants, and immutable

"Everything flows and changes in Java... except things marked with the final modifier (i.e. marked as CONSTANT). Do you already know why that word is written in uppercase letters? If not, this article will tell you why. You'll also learn why the state of some objects can't be changed, and how to use this property."

instanceof and Inheritance 101

"What belongs to who, and who's related to what? In Java, things aren't quite like they are in life: if you're higher in the hierarchy, then everything belongs to you, and if you are lower in the hierarchy... Don't know what I'm talking about? Yep, about inheritance... And about the very, very useful instanceof operator. I strongly recommend that you start using it in your programs!"

Wrappers, unboxing, and boxing

"Since you have a good grasp on primitive types, you should read more about wrapper classes. These are classes that look and act like their similarly named primitive types, but they are, in fact, real classes. In this article, you'll learn who needs them and why, and how to use them. "

How to use the Enum class

"You already know how to create classes. But what would you do if you needed to limit a range of values in your class? Until the release of Java 1.5, developers had no choice but to come up with their own solutions to this problem. The Enum class was introduced in the release to provide a common solution. It has quite a few capabilities along with some peculiarities. This article will teach you more about how Enum differs from other classes."

8 common mistakes made by rookie programmers

"Both beginners and experienced programmers make mistakes. By the end of the first quest, I think you'll benefit from reading about the common fall traps. Let's revisit the most important rules."

The whole duck isn't enough
Using the Duck class as a pattern, create Cat and Dog classes. What do you think the toString method in the Cat and Dog classes should return? In the main method, create two objects of each class and display them on the screen. Duck objects have already been created and are displayed on the screen.

Man and woman
1. Inside the Solution class, create public static Man and Woman classes. 2. The classes must have the following fields: String name, int age, String address. 3. Make constructors that have all possible parameters. 4. Create two objects of each class with complete data using a constructor. 5. Displa

Tom and Jerry
Create Dog, Cat, and Mouse classes. Add three fields of your choice to each class. Create objects for the characters in the cartoon "Tom and Jerry". You'll recall there are quite a few. For example: Mouse jerryMouse = new Mouse("Jerry", 5, 2), where 5 is the height in inches, and 2 is the length of

Number of words in a string
Implement the getWordCount(String) method to return the number of words in the string received in the input parameter. Hint: A word is a sequence of non-whitespace characters separated by a single space.

Binary encoding
Since computers only operate using 0s (no voltage) and 1s (voltage), there is a need to translate human-readable data into machine-readable data. Digits, symbols and special characters have their own code (decimal number) in the Unicode table. Implement the toBinary(int) method, which converts the d

IPv6
In the map method, parse a string representing the IPv6 address and return the result as an array of strings. For example, for the input string "2001:db8:11a3:9d7:1f34:8a2e:7a0:765d", you need to get an array like this: [2001, db8, 11a3, 9d7, 1f34, 8a2e, 7a0, 765d] Use a StringTokenizer to parse th
