What is function overloading?

Defining multiple functions with the same name but different parameters within the same scope.

Overloading in procedural programming?

Procedural programming does not support function overloading.

Overloading in OOP?

Object-oriented programming supports function overloading.

Study Notes

  • The presentation provides a basic introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Java.
  • Includes the definition of classes and objects, and basic Java syntax, and touches on some more advanced concepts.

Programming Languages

  • A programming language is a language used by programmers to tell the computer what to do.
  • Instructions written in languages like C, C++, Java, and Python are all instruction sets.
  • Instructions allow the computer to perform a specific function.
  • Low-Level Machine Dependent languages:
    • These languages directly talk to the processor using 0s and 1s.
    • Programs written using these languages are very fast but machine specific.
    • Low-level is further subdivided into Machine Language and Assembly Language.
  • High-Level Human Understandable Languages:
    • High-level languages must be compiled or interpreted into machine language.
    • This programming language includes Python, Java, JavaScript, PHP, C#, etc.

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

  • OOP relies on the concepts of classes and objects in computer science which creates reusable pieces of code.
  • Classes serve as code blueprints.
  • Objects are individual instances of classes.
  • Languages that support object-oriented programming:
    • Javascript
    • C++
    • Java
    • Python

Classes

  • Classes are user-defined data types.
  • Classes consist of data members and member functions that can be accessed by creating an object.
  • Classes are a set of properties or methods common to all objects of one type, acting as blueprints for those objects.
  • Example:
    • "Cars" could be a class, while all cars have common properties (wheels, speed limits, mileage).
    • Wheels, speed limits and mileage would be specific properties of the "Cars" class.

Objects

  • Objects are the basic unit of OOP and represents real-life entities.
  • An object is an instance of a class.
  • Memory isn't allocated when a Class is defined.
  • Memory is allocated only when it's instantiated as an object.
  • Objects have Identity, state and behavior.
  • Each object contains both data and code to manipulate the data.

Advantages and Purposes of OOP

  • OOP provides a clear model structure for programs.
  • OOP divides the program into classes, making it easy to understand.
  • OOP makes the development and maintenance of projects more effortless.
  • OOP provides data hiding, which helps in data security.
  • OOP ensures code reusability.

Procedural vs Object Oriented Programming

  • Procedural programming divides the program into small parts called "functions".

  • There is NO access specifier in procedural programming.

  • Adding new data and functions is NOT easy in procedural world.

  • Procedural programming does NOT have any proper way for hiding data, therefore less secure.

  • In procedural programming, overloading is not possible.

  • In procedural programming, function is more important than data.

  • Procedural programming is based on unreal world.

  • Procedural programming examples includes C, FORTRAN, Pascal, Basic etc.

  • Object-oriented programming divides program into small parts called "classes".

  • Object-oriented programming has access specifiers like private, public, protected etc.

  • Adding new data and function is easy.

  • Object-oriented programming provides data hiding and is therefore more secure.

  • In object oriented programming, overloading is possible.

  • In object-oriented programming, data is more important than function.

  • Object-oriented programming is based on real world,.

  • Object Oriented programming includes examples like C++, Java, Python, C# etc.

Java

  • Java is a high-level programming language developed by Sun Microsystems.
  • Java programs are interpreted by a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
  • This means that Java programs can be run on different systems, like Unix, Windows, and Macintosh

Benefits of Java Programming

  • Supports Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).
  • Java can be easily transferred and run over the Internet.
  • Java is a powerful and easy-to-use language.
  • Java has strong dependability , minimizing programming errors.
  • Java is secure and can be used in developing smart phone applications.
  • Java is independent from OS on the device it is running on, which can be an issue at times.
  • Downloading and installing on a computer for free makes updating convenient.

Java Requirements:

  • There are multiple ways to write and translate Java programs.

First way to translate/ write Java Program:

  • Use the JDK library directly to invoke the source with any line editor.
  • Considered a traditional method of using JDK tools by SUN, with any line editor to prepare the program.

Second way to translate/ write Java Program:

  • Java programmers and developers can choose a developer environment to facilitate their work.
  • Program: NetBeans contains integrated development tools.
  • Java NetBeans runs on various systems:
    • Windows
    • macOS
    • Linux
    • Solaris
  • NetBeans has support for other languages:
    • PHP
    • C
    • C++
    • HTML5
    • JavaScript
