Study Notes
Object Oriented Programming
- In object-oriented programming, data and operations are grouped together to create an object.
- An object is an instance of a class.
- A class is a blueprint for creating objects.
- Student class:
- Data members (attributes): student name, university ID, birth date, address, GPA, study level, email.
- Operations (methods): modify GPA, change level, set name, set address, print student info.
First Class in Java
- student class:
- Data members: ID, University_ID, GPA, Address.
- The class is declared using the public class student keyword.
- Each data member is declared with a data type (int, double, or String).
- An object is created using the new keyword.
- An object is accessed using the dot operator (.).
Access Modifier
- Private modifier:
- Restricts access to class members from outside the class.
- Public modifier:
- Allows access to class members from inside or outside the class.
Data Hiding
- Encapsulation is the process of hiding data members and operations within a class.
- This promotes code integrity by restricting direct access to internal data and enforcing access through methods.
Constructor
- A constructor is a special method that is called when an object is created.
- Constructors have the same name as the class.
- Constructors do not have a return type.
- Constructors are typically public.
Overloading Methods and Constructors
- Method overloading allows for multiple methods with the same name but different parameter lists.
- Constructor overloading allows for multiple constructors with different parameter lists.
Example of Class Employee
- Employee class:
- Data members: Emp_ID, Name, Depart, Salary, bonus, Resident.
- Methods:
- Multiple constructors with different parameters to initialize the object.
- Set_Salary(), which takes a double value and sets the employee's salary.
- Set_Depart(), which takes a String value and sets the employee's department.
- Set_Emp_ID(), which takes an integer value and sets the employee's ID.
- Print_Emp_Data(), which prints the employee's data.
Static Class Members
- Static fields and methods belong to the class, not individual objects.
- Static fields are accessed using the class name, not object name.
- Static methods cannot access instance fields, only static ones.
- They are typically used to create utility classes, like the Math class in Java.
Uninitialized Local Reference Variables
- Variables declared in a method can be initialized without assigning a value, making them uninitialized until assigned.
- Using an uninitialized reference variable leads to a compiler error.
Rectangle Class
- rectangle class:
- Data members: length, width.
- Methods:
- Set methods: setLength(), setWidth().
- Get methods: getLength(), getWidth(), getArea().
Initializing Value Through Constructors
- Constructors are called when objects are instantiated, allowing initialization of data members without explicit assignments.
