    Study Notes

    Information Management System

    • Students can interact with an information management system by editing profiles, registering for courses, submitting assignments and checking exam results.
    • Methods like editProfile(), displayProfile(), registerCourse(), submitAssignment() and checkResult() can be used for such actions.
    • Methods can be implemented with specific functionalities, such as printing a student's name, roll number and CGPA on the screen within the displayProfile method.
    • Often, these methods will not return a value, indicated by a void return type.
    • Methods like editProfile() and submitAssignment() could take arguments depending on the specific implementation.

    Classes and Objects

    • Classes are independent modules that represent real-world entities, containing data members, variables and methods.
    • The main() method is typically in a separate class, named Main in the example.
    • Best practice dictates that classes start with capital letters, for example Student, Faculty and Staff.
    • The class name has to match the name of the Java file.

    Example: Circle Class

    • A Circle class could contain a findArea() method to calculate the area of a circle using the formula area = 3.14 * radius * radius.
    • The findArea() method should return a double value since the area can be a decimal.
    • The method can be invoked from the main() method by passing in a value for the radius and storing the returned area in a variable.

    Object-Oriented Approach

    • By creating separate classes for Main and Circle, the code is structured more efficiently and according to object-oriented programming principles.
    • Declare the radius variable directly within the Circle class, as public static double radius.
    • You can assign a value to radius from the main class using Circle.radius = 2.
    • Avoid passing the radius argument to findArea() if it's already declared in the Circle class.

    Objects and State

    • Objects are instances created from classes, representing specific instances of the entity described by the class.
    • In the example, circle is an object of the Circle class.
    • You can define the state of an object by assigning values to its variables.
    • To invoke a method for an object, use the object name followed by a dot operator and the method name.

    Multiple Objects

    • Multiple objects of the same class can be created, each with unique state and behavior.
    • Objects can be given meaningful names like s1, s2 and s3 to represent different students of the Student class..

    Abstraction

    • Abstraction hides the implementation details of classes, providing a simplified interface to interact with them.
    • Abstraction offers benefits like:
      • Using functionalities without knowing internal implementation.
      • Controlling access to internal details and preventing unauthorized modifications.

    Encapsulation

    • Encapsulation involves keeping instance variables private and providing access through getter and setter methods.
    • This promotes data hiding, restricting access to variables and preventing the assignment of invalid values.
    • The Circle class is an example of encapsulation.

    Principles Summary

    • Class: Blueprint for creating objects, representing a set of attributes and methods common to all objects.
    • Object: Instance of a class, representing a real-world entity with unique state and behavior.
    • Constructor: Method used to initialize the state of an object, either with default values or parameterized values.
    • this keyword: Refers to the current instance of the class, allowing access to its variables and methods within the class.
    • Static keyword A static method can be called without an instance of the class.
    • Final keyword: Indicates that a variable is constant and cannot be changed after initialization.
    • Access modifiers: These restrict the visibility and accessibility of members within a class.

    Access Modifiers

    • Public: Members can be accessed from any other class.
    • Private: Members are accessible only within the same class.
    • Protected: Members accessible within the same package or by subclasses.
    • Default: Members are accessible within the same package.
