Study Notes

Inheritance and Object Relationships

An "is a" relationship indicates that the specialized object inherits all characteristics of the general object along with additional traits.
Subclass relationships in Java are established using the extends keyword, which creates a hierarchical structure.
In an inheritance relationship, the superclass constructor executes before the subclass constructor to ensure proper initialization.

Constructor Behavior

Java requires that a call to the superclass constructor using the super keyword must be the first statement in the subclass constructor.
If a subclass constructor doesn't explicitly call a superclass constructor, Java automatically invokes the superclass's default or no-arg constructor before executing the subclass constructor.

Method Overriding and Overloading

Method overriding occurs when a subclass provides a specific implementation for a method already defined in its superclass.
Method overloading happens when multiple methods in the same class share the same name but differ in parameter types or counts.
Access levels to superclass methods vary: protected members can be accessed by subclasses, while private members cannot.

Access Modifiers

Members declared as protected can be accessed by the same package classes but also by subclasses in different packages.
By default, if no access modifier is given for a class member, it has package-private visibility.

Abstract Classes and Interfaces

An abstract class cannot be instantiated, and any subclass must implement its abstract methods.
Methods in an interface are implicitly public and abstract unless declared otherwise.
Interfaces in Java can be implemented by classes, which must provide concrete definitions for the interface methods.

UML Diagrams and Class Hierarchies

In UML, inheritance is represented by a line with an open arrowhead pointing to the superclass, illustrating the parent-child relationship.
A class hierarchy visually represents the inheritance relationships between classes, with more general classes positioned at the top.

Exception Handling within Classes

Compiler errors may arise when method signatures in subclasses conflict with final methods in superclasses or due to incorrect method accessibility.
A class implementing an interface must follow the rules laid out by the interface, specifically regarding method definitions and access.

Lambda Expressions and Anonymous Classes

A lambda expression is a concise way to represent a function that implements a functional interface, enabling cleaner code.
Anonymous inner classes can be used to provide implementations of interfaces or extend classes without the need for a separate named class.

Key Terms and Definitions

The @Override annotation indicates that a method is intended to override a method from a superclass.
Variables that remain unchanged after initialization but are not marked as final are referred to as effectively final variables.
