Study Notes

Object Oriented Programming

Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is a methodology for designing programs using classes and objects.
It simplifies software development and maintenance.
Objects are real-world entities such as pens, chairs, tables, computers, watches.
Objects have state (characteristics) and behavior (actions).
- Example: A dog is an object with states like color, name, breed, and behaviors like wagging the tail, barking, eating.
Classes are templates for creating objects, defining object data types and methods.
Classes act as blueprints to create individual objects.
Classes don't consume space.

Advantages of OOP over Procedure Oriented Programming

OOP simplifies development and maintenance.
OOP provides data hiding; global data access is not allowed from elsewhere unlike procedure-oriented programming languages.

Constructors

Constructors are blocks of code (similar to methods) called when an object is created.
They initialize the object.
They are called when an object is created. The compiler constructs the values at the time of object creation.
If a class doesn't have constructors, the compiler creates a default constructor for it.
Constructor name must match class name.
Constructors have no return type (not even void)
A constructor cannot be abstract, static, final, or synchronized

Types of Constructors

Default Constructor
- Has no arguments.
Parameterized Constructor
- Has one or more arguments.

Importance of Constructor Overloading

Constructors can have identical names but different parameter lists.

Constructor vs Method

Constructor: Initializes an object's state. Return type is not specified.
Method: Exposes an object's behavior. Return type is specific.

Inheritance

Inheritance is a mechanism in which one object acquires all the properties and behaviors of a parent object.
It is an important part of OOPs (Object Oriented programming system)
It is an IS-A relationship, where child is a type of parent.

Types of Inheritance

Single Inheritance
Multilevel inheritance
Hierarchical inheritance
Multiple Inheritance (not supported in Java)

Polymorphism

Polymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms.
It is common practice to refer to a child class object using a parent class reference.
In Java, classes are polymorphic.

Method Overloading

Method overloading is a technique where a class can have multiple methods with the same name but different parameters.
The compiler distinguishes them based on the number and type of parameters.

Method Overriding

Method overriding occurs when a subclass has a method with the same name, parameters and return type as in its superclass.
The subclass provides its implementation of the method.

Encapsulation

Encapsulation is wrapping code and data together in a single unit.
It involves making data members private and using getter and setter methods to access and modify them.

Advantages of Encapsulation

Controls data access.
Allows easy read-only or write-only access to the data.
Hiding internal implementation details protects data integrity.
Makes code easier to understand and maintain.

Access Modifiers

private: Access only within the class.
default: Access only within the package.
protected: Access within the package and subclasses.
public: Access everywhere.

Abstraction

Abstraction is hiding implementation details and showing only essential information.

Generalization

Generalization is extracting shared characteristics from multiple classes and creating a parent class.

Exceptions

Exceptions are events that disrupt the normal flow of a program, such as an error or a condition.
Checked exceptions must be handled explicitly and declared in the method signatures.
Unchecked exceptions (or runtime exceptions) may not be handled and do not need to be declared.

Data Structures

Arrays store elements of the same data type in contiguous memory locations.
It is an index based data structure.
It has a fixed size.

Queue

Queue is a data structure used for managing elements in an ordered sequence, following the FIFO (First In, First Out) principle.

Collection Interfaces

Defines the behaviors that all collections will have.
Allows collections to be manipulated independently of the implementations. Collection, List, Set, Map are some common interfaces.

SQL (Structured Query Language)

A programming language used to communicate with databases.
Used to manage and query relational databases.

Primary and Foreign Keys

Primary Key uniquely identifies each row in a table.
Foreign Key links related data across tables.

Web Development

Web development: Creating interactive web applications.
HTML, CSS, JavaScript are foundational to front-end web development.

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)

Markup language for creating web pages.
HTML elements are represented by tags.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

Styles the appearance of HTML elements.

JavaScript

Programming language for web.
Allows to interact with web pages, calculate, and manipulate data.
