Study Notes
This Keyword
- Used to resolve name conflicts between global variables and local variables
- Can be used to call one constructor within another constructor of the same class
- Can be used to invoke current class methods implicitly
- Can be passed as an argument in method calls
- Can be passed as an argument in constructor calls
- Can be used to return the current class instance
Class and Object
- A class is a blueprint or template
- Class members include fields, methods, and constructors
- An object is a real copy of a class
- Objects have unique identities, states, and behaviors
Methods
- Methods are functions defined inside a class
- Methods can also be called member functions
- A method receives parameters from the caller, performs operations, and returns a result or void to the caller
- Methods and parameters are the primary mechanisms for passing information into and out of an object
- Public methods can be called from methods of other classes in the same package or different package
- Return type specifies the type of data a method returns to its caller
- Variables declared in a method body are local variables and can only be used in that method
- Local variables lose their values when the method terminates
Constructors
- Used to initialize objects
- Basic aim is to place values in the object
- A class provides constructors that are invoked to create a new object and initialize its data fields
- Constructors have the same name as the class
- Access modifiers (specifiers) in Java include private, package private, protected, and public
Java Naming Conventions
- Package names and Java reserved words use small case
- Class names and interface names use Pascal case
- Method names and variable names use camel case
- Constants use capital snake case
