Study Notes
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts
- OOP involves programming with objects, representing real-world entities.
- Examples of objects include a student, desk, circle, button, or loan.
- An object has three core features: unique identity, state, and behaviors.
- The state consists of data fields (properties) holding current values.
- The behavior of an object is demonstrated through methods.
Understanding Classes
- Classes define a blueprint for creating objects of the same type.
- In Java, classes employ variables for data fields and methods for behaviors.
- Classes include constructors, special methods for creating and initializing objects.
Constructors and Their Role
- A no-arg constructor is a constructor without parameters.
- Constructors share the name with their class and do not have a return type.
- They are invoked using the new operator to create objects.
- Example of object instantiation:
new Circle();ornew Circle(5.0);
Default Constructors
- If no constructors are defined, a default constructor is automatically provided.
- The default constructor is a no-arg constructor with an empty body.
Declaring Object Reference Variables
- Object reference variables enable access to objects in Java.
- Declaration syntax:
ClassName objectRefVar; - Example:
Circle myCircle;
