Study Notes
Classes, Methods, and Interfaces
- Instance Variables: Declare as private, and write public getter & setter methods
- Instance vs. Class Variables: Class variables are declared using the static keyword, while instance variables do not use this keyword. Class variables are shared amongst all instances of the class, while instance variables are unique to each instance.
- Encapsulation: Achieving encapsulation means hiding implementation details and providing a public interface for interaction. This can be achieved by declaring instance variables as private and implementing public getters and setters, promoting data protection and controlled access.
- Class Constants: Declare using the final static keywords.
- Overloading: Using the same method name with different method signatures (different parameters) allows for flexible code reuse.
- Constructors: Methods that share the same name as the class and have no return type.
- Interfaces: Use the implements keyword to make use of an interface.
JUnit
assertEquals(): Verifies that two values are equal.assertNotNull(): Checks if a value is not null.assertNull(): Verifies that a value is null.assertTrue(): Checks if a boolean expression evaluates to true.
Bicycle Interface
- The Bicycle interface mandates four vital behaviors for any class implementing it:
- changeCadence(int newValue): Modify the cycling cadence.
- changeGear(int newValue): Adjust the gear selection.
- speedUp(int increment): Increase the speed.
- applyBrakes(int decrement): Reduce the speed.
- Implementing the Bicycle interface requires a class to define these methods, ensuring consistent behavior across different bicycle implementations.
- Example implementation:
ACMEBicycleclass.
