What is the purpose of the default value key?

If you are talking about the Switch statement the default value key is that in which if none of the other case statements are true will be processed. For example: Day = "Sat"; switch (day) { case "Mon": System.out.println("Welcome to the begining of the week"); break; case "Tue": System.out.println("Day 2 keep it up"); break; case "Wed": System.out.println("Hump Day"); break; case "Thu": System.out.println("Almost there"); break; case "Fri": System.out.println("Another week down have a great weekend"); break; default: System.out.println("Weekend work again"; break; } As we set day to Sat there was no case for Sat and therfore the default key would be used for both Sat and Sun. Hope this helps

How do padlocks work?

There are various forms of padlock each with a different type of locking mechanism. Some are more secure than others but as a rule the two most popular are keyed and combination.Keyed PadlocksA padlock that uses a key will have a locking barrel mechanism. In most cases there will be tiny pins located at 90 degrees to the key as it is inserted. The key then has between 3 & 6 groves cut into it and as it is inserted into the barrel it lifts the pins into alignment. Once aligned the barrel can then rotate which causes a horizontal spring loaded bar to shorted. This is often what causes a padlock to spring the key back into its original position if released.Diagram: http://www.nothingbutpadlocks.com/images/locks/padlock_diagram.gifThe horizontal bars lock into the loop of the padlock. This is known as the shackle and is usually made from a special type of hardened steel. Once released the shackle will spring open.Combination PadlocksA combination padlock uses number dials rather than a key and does not have a barrel mechanism. They are usually designed with a series of ball bearings that are aligned when the correct combination is used. The mechanism does not allow the same type of strength you would get in a keyed padlock and so are generally considered a less secure option. Combination padlocks also tend to be less reliable when used outdoors or when exposed to dirt, grit and sand.Additional sources of informationOverview of padlockshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PadlockIn-depth padlock informationhttp://www.nothingbutpadlocks.com/advice
