Study Notes

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Java

Key Concepts

  • Encapsulation: Hiding implementation details and showing only necessary information to the outside world.
  • Abstraction: Focusing on essential features and hiding non-essential details.
  • Inheritance: Creating a new class based on an existing class.
  • Polymorphism: Objects of different classes responding to the same method call.

Classes and Objects

  • A class is a blueprint or template for creating objects.
  • An object is an instance of a class.
  • A class defines properties (data) and methods (functions).

Inheritance

  • Superclass (or parent class): The class from which another class inherits.
  • Subclass (or child class): The class that inherits from another class.
  • Extends keyword: Used to indicate inheritance.
  • Single inheritance: A class can only inherit from one superclass.
  • Multilevel inheritance: A class can inherit from a subclass that itself inherits from another class.

Polymorphism

  • Method Overloading: Multiple methods with the same name but different parameters.
  • Method Overriding: A subclass provides a different implementation of a method already defined in its superclass.
  • Upcasting: Assigning a subclass object to a superclass reference variable.
  • Downcasting: Assigning a superclass object to a subclass reference variable.

Other OOP Concepts

  • Composition: A class containing objects of other classes.
  • Interface: A abstract class that defines a contract for other classes to implement.
  • Abstract class: A class that cannot be instantiated and is used as a base class for other classes.
  • Packages: A way to group related classes and interfaces together.

Test your knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming concepts in Java, including encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, and more.
