Study Notes
- Classes represent entities in the real world that can be distinctly identified, while objects are instances of a class.
- Constructors are invoked to create objects in Java and must have the same name as the class but do not have a return type.
- Default constructors are provided automatically if no constructors are explicitly defined in a class in Java.
- Encapsulation in Java involves declaring data fields as private to make programs easier to maintain and prevent errors.
- Encapsulation means that data fields should be declared private and can be accessed through public methods.
- To declare a constant in a class in Java, you use the "final static" keywords.
- When creating a random object in Java, you need to specify the seed or use the default seed.
- Instance methods in Java are associated with individual objects, while static methods are associated with the class itself.
- Immutable objects in Java cannot have their contents modified and all properties must be private.
- When invoking a method with an object argument in Java, the reference of the object is passed.- Variables i and j are discussed in a block scope, with i being 2 and j being j0.
- The text explores the possibility of declaring the same variable name in different blocks within a class.
- A code snippet involving a Circle class constructor and radius assignment is analyzed, pointing out potential errors.
- The text discusses scenarios where certain statements need to be placed before others in code for proper execution.
- Various coding questions and errors are addressed and corrected throughout the text.
