Study Notes

Java Classes

  • A class does not occupy memory until it is instantiated, meaning that an object of the class is created.
  • A class groups variables of different data types and methods.
  • Components of a class include modifiers, the class keyword, class name, superclass, interfaces, and the class body.
  • Data members, methods, and constructors are part of a Java class.
  • A class can extend one class and implement multiple interfaces.

Modifiers

  • Modifiers define the accessibility levels of a class:
    • private: Accessible only within the class where defined.
    • default or package-private: Accessible only to classes in the same package.
    • protected: Accessible only to classes that subclass the class directly within the current or different package.
    • public: Accessible from any class.

Java Objects

  • Objects are instances of a class that represent real-life entities.
  • A Java program typically creates and interacts with multiple objects.
  • Objects have state, behavior, and identity.

State

  • State is represented by the attributes of an object, which reflect its properties.

Behavior

  • Behavior is represented by the methods of an object, which define its interactions with other objects.

Identity

  • Identity distinguishes an object from other objects and enables it to interact with them.

Declaring an Object

  • Creating an object of a class, also known as instantiation, allows you to use the attributes and behavior defined by that class.

Initializing a Java Object

  • When a new object is created, constructors ensure that the instance variables are initialized with correct values.

Difference between Java Class and Objects

  • A class is a blueprint, while an object is a concrete instance of that blueprint.
  • A single class can have multiple objects, each with its own unique state, while sharing the same behavior.

Java Variables

  • Variables are data containers that store values during program execution.
  • Each variable has a data type that specifies the type and quantity of value it can hold.
  • Variables are assigned a memory location name.

Types of Variables in Java

  • Local Variables:
    • Defined within a block, method, or constructor.
    • Created at declaration and destroyed after exiting the block or method.
    • Scope is limited to the block where declared.
    • Initialization is mandatory before use within the scope.
  • Instance Variables:
    • Declared in a class outside of methods, constructors, or blocks.
    • Created when an object of the class is created and destroyed when the object is destroyed.
    • Allow access modifiers.
    • Default values are assigned if not initialized.
    • Can only be accessed through object creation.
    • Initialized via constructors or instance blocks.
  • Static Variables:
    • Also known as class variables.
    • Declared similarly to instance variables but with the static keyword.
    • Belong to the class rather than individual objects.
    • Accessed directly using the class name.
    • Only one copy of a static variable exists for the class.

Unary Operators

  • Unary operators operate on a single operand.
  • ++ increment operator:
    • Pre-increment: ++a: Increment then use.
    • Post-increment: a++: Use then increment.
  • -- decrement operator:
    • Pre-decrement: --a: Decrement then use.
    • Post-decrement: a--: Use then decrement.

Assignment Operator

  • Assigns a value to a variable.
  • Uses the = operator.
  • Has right-to-left associativity.

Relational Operators

  • Check for relations like equality, greater than, and less than.
  • Return boolean values based on the comparison.
  • Used in loops and conditional statements.
  • Operators include:
    • == (Equal to)
    • != (Not Equal to)
    • > (Greater than)
    • < (Less than)
    • >= (Greater than or equal to)
    • <= (Less than or equal to)

Logical Operators

  • Perform logical operations like "AND" and "OR," similar to logic gates in digital electronics.
  • Evaluate conditions in a short-circuiting manner.
  • Operators include:
    • && (Logical AND): True if both operands are true.
    • || (Logical OR): True if at least one operand is true.
    • ! (Logical NOT): True if the operand is false and vice versa.

Ternary Operator

  • A shorthand version of the if-else statement.
  • Has three operands:
    • Condition
    • Expression if true
    • Expression if false
  • Format: condition ? if true : if false

Input From User in Java

  • Java I/O streams enable user input and output operations.
  • Two common methods:
    • BufferedReader Class: Reads a sequence of characters.
    • Scanner Class: Provides a more versatile interface for reading different data types.

Using BufferedReader Class for String Input

  • BufferedReader is a simple class used for reading character sequences.
  • Provides functions like read(), read(char[] cbuf), and readLine() for reading characters and lines.
