Study Notes

Object-Oriented Concepts

  • An object represents a real-world entity that can be distinctly identified.
  • A class is a construct that defines objects of the same type; it serves as a blueprint for creating objects.
  • An object is an instance of a class and is created using a constructor.
  • The keyword class is required to declare a class in Java.

Constructors

  • A constructor is invoked to create an object.
  • If no constructors are explicitly declared in a class, a default constructor is provided automatically.
  • Constructors do not have a return type and must share the same name as the class.
  • Multiple constructors can exist within a class.
  • Constructors are invoked using the new operator.

Code Analysis and Errors

  • Programs can fail to compile if a default constructor is absent when one is invoked.
  • Local variables do not receive default values; however, fields (data members) do have default values (e.g., boolean is false, numeric is 0, object type is null).
  • A program will compile if local variables are properly initialized, otherwise, it will result in compile-time errors.

Variable Scope and Behavior

  • You can declare variables with the same name in different methods within a class.
  • Variables within a block can overshadow class-level variables, leading to varying values based on scope.
  • Static variables retain their values across class instances and are shared among all instances.

Immutable Objects

  • An immutable object's properties cannot be modified once set.
  • All properties of immutable objects should be private, and they should not have mutator methods.
  • A readable property in an immutable object must also be immutable itself.

Arrays and References

  • When declaring an array of objects, such as Circle[] x, it indicates that x references an array where each element can point to a Circle object.
  • Assigning an array or creating an array must be done correctly to avoid null references.

Method Behaviors

  • When passing objects to methods, if the reference is reassigned, it does not affect the original object unless the object's properties are modified directly.
  • The newly assigned object inside a method does not alter the original object's reference.

Output Analysis

  • Understanding specific outputs from programming statements requires examining variable scopes, initializations, and method invocations.
  • Outputs reflect the status of static and instance variables as influenced by method executions and scope resolutions.

Code Compliance and Common Pitfalls

  • Incorrect constructor invocation leads to compile errors.
  • Failing to initialize variables before use will cause compile-time or runtime exceptions.
  • Ensure clarity in variable scope to avoid confusion surrounding local vs. class-level variables.
