Question

Assignment about proving that matter has an atomic nature using Java

Answer 1

I'm confused about what I need to do for the BlobFinder constructor.

Someone told me that I should

“initialize the ArrayList blobs”,

then “create a 2D array of booleans called marked, having the same dimensions as picture.”

then “eumerate the pixels of picture, and for each pixel (i, j): 1. Create a Blob object called blob., 2. Call findBead() with the right arguments. and 3. Add blob to blobs if it has a non-zero mass.”,

but I'm confused as to why that is what I need to do.

Don't I only need to do the following for the BlobFinder contructor?:

for(int i = 0; i < picture.height(); i++) {

for(int j = 0; j < picture.width(); j++) {

Blob blob = new Blob();
blob.add(i, j);
blobs.add(blob);
}
}

I don't even need someone to write the code for me, but if someone could just explain to me in words/pseudocode what I need to do, it would help a lot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
