    Study Notes

    Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

    • OOP is a programming paradigm that focuses on using objects to represent and manipulate data.
    • In OOP, data is encapsulated within objects, which are defined by their properties (attributes) and behaviors (methods).

    Objects

    • Objects are instances of a class, created from a class in languages like Java.
    • They have states and behaviors.
    • Objects correspond to real-world entities, can be physical or logical, and take up space in memory.
    • Examples of objects include a dog, chair, tree, etc.

    Classes

    • Classes are like object constructors for creating objects.
    • A collection of objects is said to be a class.
    • Classes are logical quantities that don't consume space in memory.
    • A class is also called a template of an object.
    • Classes have members, including fields, methods, and constructors.

    Class Declaration

    • A class declaration consists of:
      • Modifiers (public or default access)
      • Class name (initial letter)
      • Superclass (a class can only extend one parent)
      • Interfaces (a class can implement more than one interface)
      • Body (surrounded by braces, { })

    Java OOP Concepts

    Abstraction

    • Abstraction is using simple things to represent complexity.
    • It allows programmers to create reusable tools by breaking down complex systems into smaller components.

    Encapsulation

    • Encapsulation is the practice of keeping fields within a class private.
    • It provides access to those fields via public methods, creating a protective barrier that keeps data and code safe.

    Inheritance

    • Inheritance is a special feature of OOP in Java.
    • It lets programmers create new classes that share some attributes of existing classes.

    Polymorphism

    • Polymorphism allows programmers to use the same word to mean different things in different contexts.
    • It has two forms: method overloading and method overriding.
