Study Notes
OOP Concepts
- Week 5B topics include Abstract Classes, Inheritance, Override, Customization, Interfaces, Contracts in OO, UML, and Collections.
Objects and Abstractions
- Abstraction in Java is achieved through Abstract Classes and Interfaces.
- Abstraction hides implementation details from the user, who only gets the functionality.
Abstract Class
- Definition: An abstract class is a class that is declared abstract and may or may not include abstract methods.
- Characteristics:
- Cannot be instantiated.
- Can be subclassed.
- If a class includes abstract methods, the class itself must be declared abstract.
- Notes:
- If a class is abstract, it cannot be instantiated.
- When an abstract class is subclassed, the subclass usually provides implementations for all of the abstract methods in its parent class.
- If a subclass does not provide implementations, it must also be declared abstract.
Interfaces
- Definition: A contract in OO programming that bundles common functionality in classes that are not part of the inheritance hierarchy.
- Characteristics:
- Completely "abstract class" that groups related methods with empty bodies.
- Used to provide a set of method signatures.
- Provides return values of methods.
- Tells us how to use an object that implements the interface.
- Notes:
- If an abstract class has nothing other than public static final properties and abstract methods, it could be made into an interface.
- All methods in an interface are abstract, so there is no need to declare them as abstract.
Interface Example
- A subclass implements an interface using the
implements
keyword. - Recall: Subclass extends an abstract class.
Collections
- Creation:
- Array:
String studentName[] = new String[];
- ArrayList:
List studentName = new ArrayList<>();
- Array:
- Operations:
- Array:
studentName[i++] = “Peter”;
- ArrayList:
studentName.add(“Peter”);
- Array:
- Printing:
- Array: `for(int i=0; i
