    Study Notes

    Classes and Objects

    • An object is an entity with state (data) and behavior (methods). Examples include chairs, pens, and logical entities.
    • An object is an instance of a class. Objects have an address and take up memory space.
    • Objects communicate without knowing the internal details of others. Only the accepted message type and returned response matter.
    • Classes are templates for creating objects, defining object data types and methods. They are like blueprints.
    • OOPs (Object-Oriented Programming) systems feature easier development and maintenance than procedure-oriented ones.
    • OOPs provides data hiding, whereas in procedure-oriented languages, global data can be accessed from anywhere.

    Constructors

    • Constructors are similar to methods, but without a return type. Used to initialize an object.

    • Called when an object is created and allocates memory for the object.

    • The compiler calls constructors for sub-objects (members and inherited objects). Default or parameterless constructors are called automatically. Parameterized constructors can be initialized with an initializer list.

    • If no constructor is explicitly defined, the Java compiler automatically provides a default constructor.

    • Constructor rules:

      • The constructor's name must match the class name.
      • It shouldn't have an explicit return type.
      • It cannot be abstract, static, final, or synchronized.

    • Types of constructors:

      • Default Constructor: A no-argument constructor (the compiler adds it if not specified).
      • Parameterized Constructor: Takes parameters to initialize an object with distinct values.

    Constructor Overloading

    • Multiple constructors within a class with different parameter lists.
    • The compiler differentiates them based on the number and types of parameters.

    Constructor vs. Method

    • Constructor: Used for object initialization. Must not have a return type. Invoked implicitly. The Java compiler provides a default constructor if none is defined.
    • Method: Used to expose an object's behavior. Must have a return type. Invoked explicitly.

    Inheritance

    • Inheritance: One object acquires properties and behaviors of a parent object.
    • It's crucial in OOPs. You create new classes built on existing ones, reusing parent's methods and fields.
    • Relationship: IS-A (e.g., Programmer IS-A Employee).
    • Advantages: Method overriding, code reusability.
    • Types:
      • Single Inheritance: A class inherits from one parent class.
      • Multilevel Inheritance: A class inherits from another class, which, in turn, inherits from another class (and so on).
      • Hierarchical Inheritance: Multiple classes inherit from a single class.

    Polymorphism

    • Polymorphism: The ability of an object to take on many forms.
    • Common use: A parent class reference can refer to a child class object.
    • Java objects are polymorphic because they pass the IS-A test for their own type and the Object class.
    • Methods can be overloaded; having multiple methods with the same name but different parameters in the same class.

    Method Overriding

    • Method overriding: A subclass has a method with the same name and parameter list as a method in its superclass.
    • Used to provide specific implementation for methods declared by a parent class that apply to the child class, promoting runtime polymorphism.

    Encapsulation

    • Encapsulation: Wrapping code and data into a single unit (like a capsule containing several medicines).
    • Use private data members to create fully encapsulated classes in Java.
    • Getter and setter methods are used to set and get data.
    • Advantages: Data hiding, control over data, easier unit testing, and read-only/write-only class options.

    Abstraction

    • Abstraction: Hiding implementation details and showing only essential functionality to the user (e.g., sending an SMS).
    • Ways to achieve abstraction:
      • Abstract class: A class that cannot be instantiated. Can contain abstract and concrete methods.
      • Interface: A reference type containing only abstract methods and constants. Implements complete abstraction.

    Conditional Statements

    • Decision making: Executes statements based on conditions.
    • IF statement: Executes code based on whether a Boolean expression is true.
    • IF-ELSE: Executes one block if a condition is true and another if it's false.
    • IF-ELSE-IF: Handles multiple conditions using a chain of else-if statements.
    • Nested IF: A nested structure where an if statement is within another if statement.
    • SWITCH: Allows selecting multiple code blocks based on the possible values of an expression.

    Looping Constructs

    • Loop statements: Repeatedly execute a block of code multiple times.
    • WHILE loop: Repeats code as long as a condition is true.
    • FOR loop: Repeats code for a specific number of iterations.
    • DO-WHILE loop: Repeats code at least once and then repeats as long as a condition is true.
    • ENHANCED FOR loop: Simplified iteration through arrays and collections.

    this Keyword

    • this: Refers to the current object instance in a method/constructor.
    • Resolves ambiguity between instance variables and method/constructor parameters.
    • Invokes the current class's method or constructor.

    super Keyword

    • super: Refers to the immediate parent class, allowing access to parent class variables, methods, and constructors.

    Static Keyword

    • static: Belongs to the class, not an object instance.
    • Used for class variables and methods shared among all objects of the class.

    Final Keyword

    • final: Modifies variables, methods, or classes to prevent them from being changed.
    • final variables: Constants, cannot be reassigned after initialization.
    • final methods: Cannot be overridden in subclasses.
    • final classes: Cannot be extended, and cannot be subclassed.

    String Manipulation

    • Strings: Sequences of characters. Java's String class enables creating and manipulating strings.
    • Creating strings directly: String greeting = "hello world";
    • String length: string.length().
    • Concatenating strings: string1 + string2 or string1.concat(string2)

    Packages

    • Packages: Group related classes, interfaces, and subpackages.
    • Advantages: Categorization, access protection, naming collision avoidance.
    • Accessing a package: Using import package.classname, import package.*, or the fully qualified name.

    Interfaces

    • Interfaces: Referencing type. Collections of abstract methods and constants—similar to classes but with no concrete implementation. Methods are implicitly public and abstract.
    • Similarities: Interfaces can have instance variables, and they are placed in packages.
    • Differences: Cannot be instantiated, no constructors, only abstract methods, only static-final fields. Interfaces can extend multiple interfaces; classes only one class.

    Exceptions

    • Exceptions: Events disrupting normal program flow (e.g., division by zero).
    • Checked exceptions: Compiler enforces handling (e.g., FileNotFoundException).
    • Unchecked exceptions: Runtime exceptions (e.g., ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException), errors.
    • Handling Exceptions: try-catch block handles potential exceptions.
    • throws: Method signature indicates checked exceptions to be handled by a caller.
    • finally: Block ensures code execution regardless of exception occurrence.

    Data Structures

    • Arrays: Contiguous memory locations storing elements of the same type.
    • Queues: First-In, First-Out (FIFO) data structures, elements are added to the rear and removed from the front. Commonly used in various operations.
    • Lists: Ordered collections of elements, allow arbitrary access.
    • Sets: Collections forbidding duplicate elements.
    • Maps: Collections storing key-value pairs, associating values with unique keys.

    HTML

    • HTML: Standard markup language for creating web pages, describing their structure.
    • Elements: Building blocks (e.g., headings, paragraphs, links).
    • Tags: Label content and tell the browser how to format it.
    • Simple HTML document: Contains the basic structure <html>, <head>, <title>, <body>, <p>.

    CSS

    • CSS: Cascading Style Sheets, used to style HTML elements.
    • Styling methods: inline, internal, and external.

    JavaScript

    • JavaScript: Programming language for web interaction.
    • Syntax: Declares variables using var and assigns values to them.
    • Variables & Strings: Variables store data values. Strings are text enclosed in quotes.
    • Comparison Operators: Equality comparisons. == vs ===.
