Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of encapsulation in object-oriented programming?

  • To define a blueprint or template for creating objects

  • Hierarchical Inheritance
  • Multilevel Inheritance
  • Multiple Inheritance
  • Single Inheritance (correct)
  • What is the term for the ability of an object to take on multiple forms?

  • Inheritance
  • Abstraction
  • Polymorphism (correct)
  • Composition

    Study Notes

    Object-Oriented Programming in Java

    Key Concepts

    • Encapsulation: bundling data and methods that operate on that data into a single unit (class)
    • Abstraction: showing only essential features while hiding non-essential details
    • Inheritance: creating a new class based on an existing class (parent or superclass)
    • Polymorphism: ability of an object to take on multiple forms
    • Composition: combining objects to form a new object

    Classes and Objects

    • Class: a blueprint or template for creating objects
    • Object: an instance of a class, with its own state and behavior
    • Constructors: special methods used to initialize objects when they are created

    Inheritance

    • Single Inheritance: a class can inherit from only one parent class
    • Multilevel Inheritance: a class can inherit from a parent class that itself inherits from another parent class
    • Hierarchical Inheritance: multiple classes can inherit from a single parent class
    • Multiple Inheritance: a class can inherit from multiple parent classes (not supported in Java)

    Polymorphism

    • Method Overloading: multiple methods with the same name but different parameters
    • Method Overriding: a subclass provides a different implementation of a method already defined in its superclass
    • Operator Overloading: not supported in Java

    Access Modifiers

    • public: accessible from anywhere
    • private: accessible only within the same class
    • protected: accessible within the same class and its subclasses
    • default (or no modifier): accessible within the same package

    Other OOP Concepts

    • Abstract Classes: classes that cannot be instantiated and are used as base classes for other classes
    • Interfaces: abstract classes that contain only constants and method signatures
    • Enums: special classes that represent a fixed number of named values
