Study Notes
Classes and Packages
- Each class in a package is placed in a separate file, and the file name begins with the class name.
- To use classes from a package, an import statement is required, with the syntax being
import package_name.class_name_or_asterisk;
. - Classes in a package can be used in any program or class definition, regardless of the folder location.
Object-Oriented Programming Concepts
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a methodology that defines objects with behaviors and interactions to accomplish a task.
- An object has characteristics (attributes) and actions (behaviors), with values of attributes giving the object a state.
Objects and Classes
- Objects of the same kind belong to the same class, with the same data type.
- A class defines a kind of object, serving as a blueprint for defining objects.
- The data type of an object is the name of its class.
Inheritance
- Inheritance allows objects of a class to take on properties of objects from another class.
- Inheritance is used to avoid repetition of programming instructions for each class.
- The
extends
keyword is used to apply inheritance between classes.
Interfaces
- An interface is a program component that contains headings for public methods.
- Interfaces describe public methods in a class, and are used by another class through the
implements
keyword.
Packages
- A package is a collection of related classes and interfaces grouped together in a folder.
- The name of the folder is the name of the package.
