Study Notes
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
- OOP is a programming approach used in various languages like Java, C#, C++, PHP, and Ruby
- Real-world entities (cars, animals, people) and abstract concepts (like transactions) can be represented as objects
- Objects have attributes (properties/fields) describing their state and methods (behaviors/actions)
- To create an object, define a class (template/blueprint) specifying attributes and methods
- All objects of the same class share the same attributes and methods
Introduction to OOP
- Learning Outcomes: identify class/object components, explain OOP concepts, create simple OOP programs
- Resources Needed: laptop/computer, Java Development Kit (JDK), Java IDE (like Eclipse or BlueJ)
Lesson Discussion
- OOP is a programming approach using objects with attributes (state) and methods (behavior)
- A class is a template defining attributes and methods for objects
- Objects of a class share those attributes and methods
- In Java, the
public
keyword defines a class's visibility (accessible in any class) - Packages (folders of related classes) help organize code, preventing name conflicts
- Access modifiers (like
public
,private
, etc.) control visibility and access within a program
Creating an Object in Java using Class Name
- Creating objects:
ClassName objectName = new ClassName();
-
objectName
acts as a variable holding the object - Example:
Dog dog1 = new Dog();
creates aDog
object nameddog1
Attributes/Encapsulation
- Attributes are variables that describe an object
- Encapsulation hides internal object state, controlling modifications through methods. Attributes must usually be declared as
private
in a class to avoid unwanted modification and ensure the integrity of the object's data structure. This leads to a better organized and maintainable codebase. - In a
Dog
class, example private attributes:breed
,color
- Setters (set methods): change attribute values (e.g.,
setBreed()
,setColor()
)- Example usage:
dog1.setColor("white");
- Example usage:
Accessing Attributes (Getters)
- Getters (get methods): retrieve attribute values (e.g.,
getBreed()
,getColor()
) - Method syntax:
public dataType getAttributeName() { return attributeName; }
- Example usage:
System.out.println("dog1 is a " + dog1.getColor() + " " + dog1.getBreed());
- Example usage:
Methods
- Methods (also called behaviors) define actions an object can perform
- Example
bark()
andeat()
methods for aDog
object
- Example
Calculator Class
- A
Calculator
class encapsulates arithmetic operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide) - Methods return results or perform actions, like printing error messages.
Circle Class
- A
Circle
class calculates diameter and circumference, derived from the radius. Attributes are not explicitly stored (but calculated). The displayDetails() method is used to view the relevant attributes.
Summary
- OOP uses classes as templates to model real-world entities
- Objects are instances of classes
- Attributes represent data, and methods define actions within a class
