Study Notes

Object-Oriented Programming

  • OOP involves programming with objects, representing real-world entities with unique identities, states (data fields), and behaviors (methods).
  • Classes are blueprints for creating objects of the same type, grouping related objects.
  • Objects are instances of classes.

Classes

  • Classes use variables to define data fields and methods to define behaviors.
  • Classes utilize constructors to construct objects from the class.

Example: Circle Class

  • The Circle class defines a radius data field and a getArea method to calculate the area.
  • It features constructors to initialize objects with different radius values, including a no-arg constructor (no parameters) and a one-argument constructor with a newRadius parameter.

Constructors

  • Constructors have the same name as the class and initialize objects.
  • They don't have a return type, not even void.
  • They are invoked using the new operator when creating an object.

Default Constructor

  • If no constructors are explicitly defined in a class, a no-arg constructor with an empty body is implicitly defined by the compiler, called the Default Constructor.

Declaring Object Reference Variables

  • To declare an object reference variable, use the syntax ClassName objectRefVarName;.
  • For example: Circle myCircle;.
  • To create an object using the reference variable, use the syntax objectName = new ClassName().
  • Example: myCircle = new Circle();.
  • The new operator invokes the class's constructor and assigns the newly created object to the reference variable.
