Study Notes
Running Programs with Objects
- Objects are anthropomorphic and cannot function independently; they require collaboration with other objects to operate.
- Interaction between objects occurs through method calls, allowing them to perform actions based on commands issued by other objects.
LightBulb Example
- To make a LightBulb object operational, it must be commanded by other objects.
- Example command to turn on the LightBulb:
bulb1.turnOn(). - Before sending commands, an instance of the LightBulb must be created using the constructor with the
newkeyword. - Instance creation example:
LightBulb bulb1 = new LightBulb("white", 5);, where "white" is the color and 5 is the wattage.
Runner Class
- A Runner or Driver program serves as the entry point for the application, containing the main method.
- The Runner initiates interactions between different objects.
Main Class Implementation
- In the provided
Mainclass example:- A LightBulb instance named
bulb1is created with specified parameters. - The light bulb is turned on using the command
bulb1.turnOn(), followed by outputting its status. - A Scanner is used to prompt the user for input regarding how many times to flip the switch, demonstrating user interaction with the program.
- A LightBulb instance named
