    Study Notes

    Inheritance in Java

    • Inheritance allows a new class (subclass) to inherit properties and behaviors (methods) from an existing class (superclass), promoting code reuse.
    • The super keyword is used to refer to the immediate parent class instance variable.

    Polymorphism in Java

    • Polymorphism enables objects to be treated as instances of their parent class, enhancing flexibility and scalability.
    • Method overriding achieves runtime polymorphism, allowing a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method defined in its parent class.

    Final Keyword

    • The final keyword in Java is used to declare constants, prevent method overriding, and restrict class inheritance, providing immutability.

    Operators in Java

    • Java uses arithmetic, relational, logical, and assignment operators to perform operations on variables and values.
    • The = operator is used to assign a value to a variable.
    • The && operator represents the logical AND operation, used to evaluate two boolean expressions and return true only if both expressions are true.

    Control Flow in Java

    • The if statement is used to execute a block of code conditionally based on whether a specified condition is true.
    • Switch statements provide a more efficient approach for handling multiple alternative paths when dealing with discrete values.

    Probability and Decision-Making

    • The systematic study of uncertainty is known as probability theory, which quantifies the likelihood of various outcomes in uncertain situations.
    • Probability measures the likelihood that a particular event will occur, ranging from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain).
    • In decision-making, probability defines the chances of different outcomes, helping individuals make informed choices.
    • Relative frequency indicates how often each outcome occurs in a large number of trials, providing empirical evidence for predicting future events.
    • The measure of belief in the occurrence of a future event is often termed subjective probability, reflecting personal judgment based on available information.
