Study Notes
Java Constructor
- Definition: A constructor initializes the state of an object.
- Characteristics:
- It does not have a return type.
- It is invoked implicitly.
- The compiler provides a default constructor if none is defined.
- The constructor name must match the class name.
Java Method
- Definition: A method exposes the behavior of an object.
- Characteristics:
- It must have a return type.
- It is invoked explicitly.
- The method name can be different from the class name.
Java Copy Constructor
- There is no direct copy constructor in Java as in C++.
- To copy values from one object to another, use methods like:
- Constructor: Pass an object as an argument.
- Assigning values: Assign each attribute of the object individually.
clone()method: Creates a shallow copy of the object usingObjectclass'sclone()method.
'this' Keyword Usage
- Definition: The
thiskeyword refers to the current object within a class. - Uses:
- Refer to class instance variables: Used to resolve ambiguity between instance variables and local variables with the same name.
- Invoke current class method: Implicitly included when calling a method within the same class.
- Invoke current class constructor: Used for constructor chaining (
this()) to invoke another constructor within the same class. - Pass as argument: Used to pass the current object as an argument to a method or constructor.
- Return current class instance: Return the current object from a method.
Static Methods
- Definition: Methods defined as static belong to a class, not an object.
- Characteristics:
- They are accessed using the class name, not an object instance.
- They operate on class-level variables or data.
- They cannot directly access non-static members (variables or methods) of the class.
finalize() Method
- Definition: A method of the
Objectclass, available to all Java classes. - Characteristics:
- It is a non-static and protected method.
- Invoked by the garbage collector to clean up resources before an object is garbage collected.
