2024年真题FRQ常见错误列表
✅ 2024 FRQ Java Syntax – Most Common Mistakes
2024 年 AP 计算机 FRQ 语法常见错误汇总
🔍 Summary | 总览
Mistake 错误类型 | Description 描述 |
---|---|
Missing parentheses | Parentheses are required in method calls and conditionals. 方法调用或条件判断中缺少括号。 |
Incorrect method declaration | Syntax errors in method headers (missing return type, incorrect parameters). 方法头写法错误,例如缺少返回类型或参数不正确。 |
Misuse of type casting | Using casting syntax incorrectly, e.g. int(x) instead of (int)x . 类型转换格式错误,错误使用 int(x) 而非 (int)x 。 |
Invalid ArrayList syntax | Confusing Array syntax with ArrayList methods like get() or add() . 错误将 Array 的语法用于 ArrayList,例如 [] 替代 get() 。 |
Incorrect object instantiation | Missing new when creating objects or using incorrect constructor syntax. 创建对象时遗漏 new 或构造器语法错误。 |
Variable declaration mistakes | Undeclared variables or redeclared variables in wrong places. 变量未声明或重复声明。 |
Typo causing compile error | Misspelled variable or method names that lead to compile errors. 拼写错误造成编译错误(例如拼错方法名或变量名)。 |
Logical conditions misuse | Using == to compare booleans or incorrect logical condition placement. 错误使用 == 判断布尔值或条件表达式放置不当。 |
Misuse of loop structure | Incorrect use of for/while syntax or loop conditions. for/while 循环语法或条件书写错误。 |
1. 🧩 Missing Parentheses
缺少括号
// 错误示例
if Math.random < 0.05
// 正确示例
if (Math.random() < 0.05)
Tip: Method calls and conditionals must use parentheses.
提示:方法调用和条件表达式必须使用括号。
2. 🧩 Incorrect Type Casting
类型转换格式错误
// 错误示例
int decider = int(20*Math.random());
// 正确示例
int decider = (int)(20 * Math.random());
Tip: Java uses (type)
before the expression for casting.
提示:Java 中类型转换必须写成 (类型)(表达式)
的形式。
3. 🧩 ArrayList Syntax Errors
错误使用 Array 语法访问 ArrayList
// 错误示例
String a = wordList[i];
// 正确示例
String a = wordList.get(i);
Tip: Use .get(index)
and .add(value)
for ArrayLists.
提示:ArrayList 需要使用 .get(index)
访问元素,使用 .add(value)
添加元素。
4. 🧩 Object Instantiation Errors
创建对象时遗漏 new
或语法错误
// 错误示例
ArrayList<String> result = ArrayList<String>();
// 正确示例
ArrayList<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();
Tip: Use new
keyword when creating objects.
提示:创建对象时必须加上 new
关键字。
5. 🧩 Misspelled Variables or Methods
拼写错误导致编译错误
// 错误示例
return scores[0]+""-""+socres[1]+""-""+teams[activeteam];
// 正确示例
return scores[0] + "-" + scores[1] + "-" + teams[activeteam];
Tip: Typos in variable/method names will prevent compilation.
提示:变量或方法名拼写错误会导致编译失败。
6. 🧩 Incorrect Boolean Logic
逻辑表达式写法错误
// 错误示例
if(turn ==1){
reuslt += teamOne;
}
// 正确示例
if (turn) {
result += teamOne;
}
Tip: Use booleans directly or compare them properly.
提示:布尔值直接使用或正确比较,不应混用 int 和 boolean。
7. 🧩 Invalid Loop Structure
循环结构语法错误
// 错误示例
for(){
// empty for loop
}
// 正确示例
for (int i = 0; i < numDays; i++) {
// logic here
}
Tip: Make sure your loop headers are valid and complete.
提示:确保 for 循环头部包含所有三部分(初始化、条件、更新)。
8. 🧩 Return Type or Method Declaration Errors
方法返回类型错误或声明不完整
// 错误示例
public boolean isWordChain {
}
// 正确示例
public boolean isWordChain() {
}
Tip: Method headers must have parentheses even if no parameters.
提示:方法名后必须有括号,即使没有参数。

For Loop Syntax | Incorrect separator in for loop conditions / for 循环条件中使用错误的分隔符 |
ArrayList Access | Using array syntax [] instead of .get() / 用数组语法访问 ArrayList |
Return Type Mismatch | Returning wrong type (e.g., boolean in int method) / 返回类型不匹配 |
Misspelled Method Names | Typos in method names causing compilation errors / 方法名拼写错误导致编译失败 |

1. 🧩 For Loop Syntax
for 循环语法错误
// 错误示例
for (int i = temperatures.size() -1, i >= 0, i--)
// 正确示例
for (int i = temperatures.size() -1; i >= 0; i--)

⸻
2. 🧩 ArrayList Access
ArrayList 访问方式错误
// 错误示例
if (temperatures[i] < lower)

this.word = w; // 正确初始化实例变量
}
