Need for OOP Paradigm
D
➢ OOP is an approach to program organization and
A
development, which attempts to eliminate some of the
A
drawbacks of conventional programming methods by
G
incorporating the best of structured programming
features with several new concepts.
U
➢ OOP allows us to decompose a problem into number
SJ
of entities called objects and then build data and
methods (functions) around these entities.
TE
➢ The data of an object can be accessed only by the
methods associated with the object.
O
N
L 1.1
Some of the Object-Oriented Paradigm are:
D
1. Emphasis is on data rather than procedure.
A
2. Programs are divided into objects.
A
3. Data Structures are designed such that they
Characterize the objects.
G
4 Methods that operate on the data of an object are
U
tied together in the data structure.
SJ
5 Data is hidden and can not be accessed by external
functions.
TE
6 Objects may communicate with each other through
methods.
O
N
L 1.2
A way of viewing world – Agents
D
A
• OOP uses an approach of treating a real world agent
A
as an object.
G
• Object-oriented programming organizes a program
around its data (that is, objects) and a set of well-
U
defined interfaces to that data.
SJ
• An object-oriented program can be characterized as
data controlling access to code by switching the
TE
controlling entity to data.

CLASSES
D
• Class is blue print or an idea of an Object
A
• From One class any number of Instances can be
A
created
G
• It is an encapsulation of attributes and methods

INSTANCE
D
• Instance is an Object of a class which
A
is an entity with its own attribute
A
values and methods.
G
U
• Creating an Instance
SJ
ClassName refVariable;
TE
refVariable = new Constructor();
or
O
ClassName refVariable = new Constructor();

N
L 3.3
Java Class Hierarchy
D
A
• In Java, class “Object” is the base class to all
other classes
A
– If we do not explicitly say extends in a new class
G
definition, it implicitly extends Object
U
– The tree of classes that extend from Object and
SJ
all of its subclasses are is called the class
hierarchy
TE
– All classes eventually lead back up to Object
– This will enable consistent access of objects of
O
different classes.
N
L 3.4
Inheritance
D
• Methods allows to reuse a sequence of statements
A
• Inheritance allows to reuse classes by deriving a new
A
class from an existing one
• The existing class is called the parent class, or
G
superclass, or base class
U
• The derived class is called the child class or subclass.
• The child class inherits characteristics of the parent
SJ
class(i.e the child class inherits the methods and
data defined for the parent class
TE
O
N
L 3.5
Inheritance
D
• Inheritance relationships are often shown
A
graphically in a class diagram, with the
A
arrow pointing to the parent class

N
L 3.6
Method Binding
D
• Objects are used to call methods.
A
• MethodBinding is an object that can be used to call an arbitrary
public method, on an instance that is acquired by evaluatng the
A
leading portion of a method binding expression via a value
binding.
G
• It is legal for a class to have two or more methods with the
same name.
U
• Java has to be able to uniquely associate the invocation of a
method with its definition relying on the number and types of
arguments. SJ
• Therefore the same-named methods must be distinguished:
TE
1) by the number of arguments, or
2) by the types of arguments
• Overloading and inheritance are two ways to implement
O
polymorphism.
N
L 4.1
Method Overriding.
D
A
➢ There may be some occasions when we want an object to
A
respond to the same method but have different behaviour
when that method is called.
G
➢ That means, we should override the method defined in the
U
superclass. This is possible by defining a method in a sub class
that has the same name, same arguments and same return
SJ
type as a method in the superclass.
➢ Then when that method is called, the method defined in the
TE
sub class is invoked and executed instead of the one in the
superclass. This is known as overriding.
O
N
L 4.2
Exceptions in Java
D
A
• Exception is an abnormal condition that arises in the code
A
sequence.
• Exceptions occur during compile time or run time.
G
• “throwable” is the super class in exception hierarchy.
U
• Compile time errors occurs due to incorrect syntax.
SJ
• Run-time errors happen when
– User enters incorrect input
TE
– Resource is not available (ex. file)
– Logic error (bug) that was not fixed
O
N
L 4.3
Exception classes
D
• In Java, exceptions are objects. When you throw an exception, you
throw an object. You can't throw just any object as an exception,
A
however -- only those objects whose classes descend from
Throwable.
A
• Throwable serves as the base class for an entire family of classes,
G
declared in java.lang, that your program can instantiate and throw.
• Throwable has two direct subclasses, Exception and Error.
U
• Exceptions are thrown to signal abnormal conditions that can often
be handled by some catcher, though it's possible they may not be
SJ
caught and therefore could result in a dead thread.
• Errors are usually thrown for more serious problems, such as
TE
OutOfMemoryError, that may not be so easy to handle. In general,
code you write should throw only exceptions, not errors.
• Errors are usually thrown by the methods of the Java API, or by the
Java virtual machine itself.

Java History
D
A
• Computer language innovation and development occurs for
A
two fundamental reasons:
G
1) to adapt to changing environments and uses
2) to implement improvements in the art of programming
U
• The development of Java was driven by both in equal
measures.
SJ
• Many Java features are inherited from the earlier languages:
TE
B → C → C++ → Java
O
N
L 1.1
Before Java: C
D
A
• Designed by Dennis Ritchie in 1970s.
A
• Before C: BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, PASCAL
G
• C- structured, efficient, high-level language that
U
could replace assembly code when creating
systems programs.
SJ
• Designed, implemented and tested by
programmers.
TE
O
N
L 1.2
Before Java: C++
D
A
• Designed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979.
A
• Response to the increased complexity of programs and
G
respective improvements in the programming paradigms and
methods:
U
1) assembler languages
2) high-level languages
SJ
3) structured programming
4) object-oriented programming (OOP)
• OOP – methodology that helps organize complex programs
TE
through the use of inheritance, encapsulation and
polymorphism.
• C++ extends C by adding object-oriented features.
O
N
L 1.3
Java: History
D
• In 1990, Sun Microsystems started a project called Green.
A
• Objective: to develop software for consumer electronics.
A
• Project was assigned to James Gosling, a veteran of classic
network software design. Others included Patrick Naughton,
G
ChrisWarth, Ed Frank, and Mike Sheridan.
• The team started writing programs in C++ for embedding into
U
– toasters
SJ
– washing machines
– VCR’s
TE
• Aim was to make these appliances more “intelligent”.
O
N
L 1.4
Java: History (contd.)
D
 C++ is powerful, but also dangerous. The power and popularity of C
A
derived from the extensive use of pointers. However, any incorrect
use of pointers can cause memory leaks, leading the program to
A
crash.
 In a complex program, such memory leaks are often hard to detect.
G
 Robustness is essential. Users have come to expect that Windows
may crash or that a program running under Windows may crash.
(“This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut
U
down”)
 However, users do not expect toasters to crash, or washing
SJ
machines to crash.
 A design for consumer electronics has to be robust.
TE
 Replacing pointers by references, and automating memory
management was the proposed solution.
O
N
L 1.5
Java: History (contd.)
D
A
• Hence, the team built a new programming language called Oak, which
A
avoided potentially dangerous constructs in C++, such as pointers, pointer
arithmetic, operator overloading etc.
G
• Introduced automatic memory management, freeing the programmer to
concentrate on other things.
U
• Architecture neutrality (Platform independence)
• Many different CPU’s are used as controllers. Hardware chips are evolving
SJ
rapidly. As better chips become available, older chips become obsolete
and their production is stopped. Manufacturers of toasters and washing
machines would like to use the chips available off the shelf, and would not
TE
like to reinvest in compiler development every two-three years.
• So, the software and programming language had to be architecture
neutral.
O
N
L 1.6
Java: History (contd)
D
A
• It was soon realized that these design goals of consumer electronics perfectly suited
A
an ideal programming language for the Internet and WWW, which should be:
❖ object-oriented (& support GUI)
❖ – robust
G
❖ – architecture neutral
• Internet programming presented a BIG business opportunity. Much bigger than
U
programming for consumer electronics.
• Java was “re-targeted” for the Internet
•
•
SJ
The team was expanded to include Bill Joy (developer of Unix), Arthur van Hoff,
Jonathan Payne, Frank Yellin, Tim Lindholm etc.
In 1994, an early web browser called WebRunner was written in Oak. WebRunner was
TE
later renamed HotJava.
• In 1995, Oak was renamed Java.
• A common story is that the name Java relates to the place from where the
development team got its coffee. The name Java survived the trade mark search.
O
N
L 1.7
Java History
D
A
 Designed by James Gosling, Patrick Naughton, Chris
A
Warth, Ed Frank and Mike Sheridan at Sun Microsystems
in 1991.
G
 The original motivation is not Internet: platform-
independent software embedded in consumer electronics
U
devices.
 With Internet, the urgent need appeared to break the
SJ
fortified positions of Intel, Macintosh and Unix
programmer communities.
TE
 Java as an “Internet version of C++”? No.
 Java was not designed to replace C++, but to solve a
different set of problems.

The Java Buzzwords
D
A
• The key considerations were summed up by the
A
Java team in the following list of buzzwords:
❖ Simple
G
❖ Secure
❖ Portable
U
❖ Object-oriented
❖ Robust
SJ
❖ Multithreaded
❖ Architecture-neutral
TE
❖ Interpreted
❖ High performance
❖ Distributed
O
❖ Dynamic
N
L 1.9
D
A
• simple – Java is designed to be easy for the professional
A
programmer to learn and use.
• object-oriented: a clean, usable, pragmatic approach to
G
objects, not restricted by the need for compatibility
U
with other languages.
• Robust: restricts the programmer to find the mistakes
SJ
early, performs compile-time (strong typing) and run-
time (exception-handling) checks, manages memory
TE
automatically.
• Multithreaded: supports multi-threaded programming
O
for writing program that perform concurrent

computations
N
L 1.10
D
A
• Architecture-neutral: Java Virtual Machine
A
provides a platform independent environment
G
for the execution of Java byte code
U
• Interpreted and high-performance: Java
SJ
programs are compiled into an intermediate
representation – byte code:
TE
a) can be later interpreted by any JVM
b) can be also translated into the native machine code
O
for efficiency.
N
L 1.11
D
A
• Distributed: Java handles TCP/IP protocols, accessing
A
a resource through its URL much like accessing a
G
local file.
• Dynamic: substantial amounts of run-time type
U
information to verify and resolve access to objects at
run-time.SJ
• Secure: programs are confined to the Java execution
TE
environment and cannot access other parts of the
computer.
O
N
L 1.12
D
A
• Portability: Many types of computers and operating
A
systems are in use throughout the world—and many
G
are connected to the Internet.
• For programs to be dynamically downloaded to all
U
the various types of platforms connected to the
SJ
Internet, some means of generating portable
executable code is needed. The same mechanism
TE
that helps ensure security also helps create
portability.
• Indeed, Java's solution to these two problems is both
O
elegant and efficient.

N
L 1.13
Data Types
D
A
• Java defines eight simple types:
A
1)byte – 8-bit integer type
G
2)short – 16-bit integer type
3)int – 32-bit integer type
U
4)long – 64-bit integer type
SJ
5)float – 32-bit floating-point type
6)double – 64-bit floating-point type
TE
7)char – symbols in a character set
8)boolean – logical values true and false
O

 long: 64-bit integer type.
A
Range: -9223372036854775808 to

G
Example: long l = 10000000000000000;
Usage: 1) useful when int type is not large enough to hold the
U
desired value
 float: 32-bit floating-point number.
SJ
Range: 1.4e-045 to 3.4e+038.
Example: float f = 1.5;
TE
Usage:

2) large degree of precision is not required
O
N
L 1.17
D
A
• double: 64-bit floating-point number.
A
Range: 4.9e-324 to 1.8e+308.

Example: char c = ‘a’;
Usage:
U
1) Represents both ASCII and Unicode character sets;
SJ
Unicode defines a
character set with characters found in (almost) all
TE
human languages.
2) Not the same as in C/C++ where char is 8-bit and
represents ASCII only.

TE
or for
O
N
L 1.20
Variables
D
A
• declaration – how to assign a type to a variable
A
• initialization – how to give an initial value to a variable
G
• scope – how the variable is visible to other parts of the
program
U
• lifetime – how the variable is created, used and
destroyed SJ
• type conversion – how Java handles automatic type
conversion
TE
• type casting – how the type of a variable can be
narrowed down
• type promotion – how the type of a variable can be
O
expanded
N
L 2.1
Variables
D
A
• Java uses variables to store data.
A
• To allocate memory space for a variable JVM requires:
G
1) to specify the data type of the variable
U
2) to associate an identifier with the variable
SJ
3) optionally, the variable may be assigned an initial
TE
value
• All done as part of variable declaration.
O
N
L 2.2
Basic Variable Declaration
D
A
• datatype identifier [=value];
A
• datatype must be
G
– A simple datatype
U
– User defined datatype (class type)
SJ
• Identifier is a recognizable name confirm to
identifier rules
TE
• Value is an optional initial value.
O
N
L 2.3
Variable Declaration
D
A
• We can declare several variables at the same time:
A
type identifier [=value][, identifier [=value] …];
G
Examples:
U
int a, b, c;
SJ int d = 3, e, f = 5;
byte g = 22;
TE
double pi = 3.14159;
char ch = 'x';
O
N
L 2.4
Variable Scope
D
A
• Scope determines the visibility of program elements with respect to
A
other program elements.
• In Java, scope is defined separately for classes and methods:
G
1) variables defined by a class have a global scope
2) variables defined by a method have a local scope
U
A scope is defined by a block:
{
…
}
SJ
TE
A variable declared inside the scope is not visible outside:
{
int n;
}
O
n = 1;// this is illegal

N
L 2.5
Variable Lifetime
D
A
• Variables are created when their scope is entered by
A
control flow and destroyed when their scope is left:
• A variable declared in a method will not hold its
G
value between different invocations of this method.
U
• A variable declared in a block looses its value when
SJ
the block is left.
• Initialized in a block, a variable will be re-initialized
TE
with every re-entry. Variables lifetime is confined to
its scope!
O
N
L 2.6
Arrays
D
A
• An array is a group of liked-typed variables
A
referred to by a common
G
• name, with individual variables accessed by
U
their index.
• Arrays are: SJ
1) declared
TE
2) created
3) initialized
4) used
O
• Also, arrays can have one or several dimensions.

N
L 2.7
Array Declaration
D
A
• Array declaration involves:
A
1) declaring an array identifier
G
2) declaring the number of dimensions
U
3) declaring the data type of the array elements
SJ
• Two styles of array declaration:
type array-variable[];
TE
or
type [] array-variable;
O
N
L 2.8
Array Creation
D
A
• After declaration, no array actually exists.
A
• In order to create an array, we use the new operator:
G
type array-variable[];
U
array-variable = new type[size];
SJ
• This creates a new array to hold size elements of
type type, which reference will be kept in the
TE
variable array-variable.
O
N
L 2.9
Array Indexing
D
A
• Later we can refer to the elements of this
A
array through their indexes:
G
• array-variable[index]
U
• The array index always starts with zero!
• The Java run-time system makes sure that all
SJ
array indexes are in the correct range,
TE
otherwise raises a run-time error.
O
N
L 2.10
Array Initialization
D
A
• Arrays can be initialized when they are declared:
A
• int monthDays[] =
G
{31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31};
U
• Note:
SJ
1) there is no need to use the new operator
TE
2) the array is created large enough to hold all
specified elements
O
N
L 2.11
Multidimensional Arrays
D
A
• Multidimensional arrays are arrays of arrays:
A
1) declaration: int array[][];
G
2) creation: int array = new int[2][3];
U
3) initialization
SJ
int array[][] = { {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6} };
TE
O
N
L 2.12
Operators Types
D
A
• Java operators are used to build value expressions.
A
• Java provides a rich set of operators:
G
1) assignment
U
2) arithmetic
SJ
3) relational
4) logical
TE
5) bitwise
O
N
L 2.13
Arithmetic assignments
D
A
+= v += expr; v = v + expr ;
A
G
-= v -=expr; v = v - expr ;
U
*= v *= expr; v = v * expr ;
SJ
/= v /= expr; v = v / expr ;
TE
%= v %= expr; v = v % expr ;
O
N
L 2.14
Basic Arithmetic Operators
D
A
+ op1 + op2 ADD
A
G
- op1 - op2 SUBSTRACT

Bit wise operators
D
A
~ ~op Inverts all bits
A
& op1 & op2 Produces 1 bit if both operands are 1
G
| op1 |op2 Produces 1 bit if either operand is 1
U
^ op1 ^ op2 Produces 1 bit if exactly one operand is 1
>>
SJ
op1 >> op2 Shifts all bits in op1 right by the value of
TE
op2
<< op1 << op2 Shifts all bits in op1 left by the value of
op2
O
N
L 2.18
Expressions
D
• An expression is a construct made up of variables,
A
operators, and method invocations, which are
A
constructed according to the syntax of the language, that
evaluates to a single value.
G
• Examples of expressions are in bold below:
U
int number = 0;
SJ
anArray[0] = 100;
System.out.println ("Element 1 at index 0: " +
TE
anArray[0]);
int result = 1 + 2; // result is now 3 if(value1 ==
value2)
O
System.out.println("value1 == value2");
N
L 2.19
Expressions
D
 The data type of the value returned by an expression depends
A
on the elements used in the expression.
A
 The expression number = 0 returns an int because the
assignment operator returns a value of the same data type as its
G
left-hand operand; in this case, number is an int.
 As you can see from the other expressions, an expression can
U
return other types of values as well, such as boolean or String.
 The Java programming language allows you to construct
SJ
compound expressions from various smaller expressions as
long as the data type required by one part of the expression
matches the data type of the other.
TE
 Here's an example of a compound expression: 1*2*3
O
N
L 2.20
Control Statements
D
A
• Java control statements cause the flow of
A
execution to advance and branch based on the
changes to the state of the program.
G
• Control statements are divided into three groups:
U
• 1) selection statements allow the program to
choose different parts of the execution based on
SJ
the outcome of an expression
• 2) iteration statements enable program execution
TE
to repeat one or more statements
• 3) jump statements enable your program to
O
execute in a non-linear fashion

N
L 3.1
Selection Statements
D
A
• Java selection statements allow to control the flow of
A
program’s execution based upon conditions known
G
only during run-time.
• Java provides four selection statements:
U
1) if
SJ
2) if-else
TE
3) if-else-if
4) switch
O
N
L 3.2
Iteration Statements
D
A
• Java iteration statements enable repeated
A
execution of part of a program until a certain
G
termination condition becomes true.
U
• Java provides three iteration statements:
SJ
1) while
2) do-while
TE
3) for
O
N
L 3.3
Jump Statements
D
A
• Java jump statements enable transfer of
A
control to other parts of program.
• Java provides three jump statements:
G
1) break
U
2) continue
SJ
3) return
• In addition, Java supports exception handling
TE
that can also alter the control flow of a
program.
O
N
L 3.4
Type Conversion
D
A
• Size Direction of Data Type
A
– Widening Type Conversion (Casting down)
• Smaller Data Type → Larger Data Type
G
– Narrowing Type Conversion (Casting up)
U
• Larger Data Type → Smaller Data Type
SJ
• Conversion done in two ways

What is an Object?
D
A
• Real world objects are things that have:
A
1) state
G
2) behavior
Example: your dog:
U
• state – name, color, breed, sits?, barks?, wages tail?,
runs? SJ
• behavior – sitting, barking, waging tail, running
TE
• A software object is a bundle of variables (state) and
methods (operations).
O
N
L 4.2
What is a Class?
D
A
• A class is a blueprint that defines the variables
A
and methods common to all objects of a
G
certain kind.
• Example: ‘your dog’ is a object of the class
U
Dog.
SJ
• An object holds values for the variables
TE
defines in the class.
• An object is called an instance of the Class
O
N
L 4.3
Object Creation
D
A
• A variable is declared to refer to the objects of
A
type/class String:
G
String s;
• The value of s is null; it does not yet refer to any
U
object.
SJ
• A new String object is created in memory with initial
“abc” value:
TE
• String s = new String(“abc”);
• Now s contains the address of this new object.
O
N
L 4.4
Object Destruction
D
A
• A program accumulates memory through its
A
execution.
• Two mechanism to free memory that is no longer
G
need by the program:
1) manual – done in C/C++
U
2) automatic – done in Java
SJ
• In Java, when an object is no longer accessible
through any variable, it is eventually removed
TE
from the memory by the garbage collector.
• Garbage collector is parts of the Java Run-Time
Environment.
O
N
L 4.5
Class
D
A
• A basis for the Java language.
A
• Each concept we wish to describe in Java must
G
be included inside a class.
U
• A class defines a new data type, whose values
SJ
are objects:
• A class is a template for objects
TE
• An object is an instance of a class
O
N
L 4.6
Class Definition
D
A
 A class contains a name, several variable declarations (instance
variables) and several method declarations. All are called
A
members of the class.
 General form of a class:
G
class classname {
type instance-variable-1;
U
…
SJ type instance-variable-n;
type method-name-1(parameter-list) { … }
type method-name-2(parameter-list) { … }
TE
…
type method-name-m(parameter-list) { … }
}
O

L 4.7
Example: Class Usage
D
A
class Box {
A
double width;
double height;
double depth;
G
}
class BoxDemo {
U
public static void main(String args[]) {
Box mybox = new Box();
double vol; SJ
mybox.width = 10;
TE
mybox.height = 20;
mybox.depth = 15;
vol = mybox.width * mybox.height * mybox.depth;
System.out.println ("Volume is " + vol);
O
} }
N
L 4.8
Constructor
D
A
• A constructor initializes the instance variables of an object.
A
• It is called immediately after the object is created but before
G
the new operator completes.
1) it is syntactically similar to a method:
U
2) it has the same name as the name of its class
SJ
3) it is written without return type; the default
return type of a class
• constructor is the same class
TE
• When the class has no constructor, the default constructor
automatically initializes all its instance variables with zero.
O
N
L 5.1
Example: Constructor
D
A
class Box {
A
double width;
double height;
G
double depth;
Box() {
U
System.out.println("Constructing Box");
SJ
width = 10; height = 10; depth = 10;
}
TE
double volume() {
return width * height * depth;
}
O
}
N
L 5.2

D
A
class Box {
A
double width;
G
double height;

U
Box(double w, double h, double d) {
SJ
width = w; height = h; depth = d;
}
TE
double volume()
{ return width * height * depth;

N
L 5.3
Methods
D
A
 General form of a method definition:
A
type name(parameter-list) {
… return value;
G
…
}
U
 Components:
1) type - type of values returned by the method. If a method
SJ
does not return any value, its return type must be void.
2) name is the name of the method
TE
3) parameter-list is a sequence of type-identifier lists
separated by commas
4) return value indicates what value is returned by the
method.
O
N
L 5.4
Example: Method
D
A
• Classes declare methods to hide their internal data
A
structures, as well as for their own internal use: Within a
G
class, we can refer directly to its member variables:
class Box {
U
double width, height, depth;
SJ
void volume() {
System.out.print("Volume is ");
TE
System.out.println(width * height * depth);
}
O
}
N
L 5.5
Parameterized Method
D
A
• Parameters increase generality and applicability of a
A
method:
• 1) method without parameters
G
int square() { return 10*10; }
U
• 2) method with parameters
SJ
int square(int i) { return i*i; }
• Parameter: a variable receiving value at the time the
TE
method is invoked.
• Argument: a value passed to the method when it is
O
invoked.
N
L 5.6
Access Control: Data Hiding and
D
Encapsulation
A
• Java provides control over the visibility of variables
A
and methods.
G
• Encapsulation, safely sealing data within the capsule
of the class Prevents programmers from relying on
U
details of class implementation, so you can update
without worry
SJ
• Helps in protecting against accidental or wrong
TE
usage.
• Keeps code elegant and clean (easier to maintain)
O
N
L 6.1
Access Modifiers: Public, Private,
D
Protected
A
• Public: keyword applied to a class, makes it
A
available/visible everywhere. Applied to a
method or variable, completely visible.
G
• Default(No visibility modifier is specified): it
U
behaves like public in its package and private
SJ
in other packages.
• Default Public keyword applied to a class,
TE
makes it available/visible everywhere.
Applied to a method or variable, completely
visible.
O
N
L 6.2
D
A
• Private fields or methods for a class only
A
visible within that class. Private members are
not visible within subclasses, and are not
G
inherited.
U
• Protected members of a class are visible
within the class, subclasses and also within all
SJ
classes that are in the same package as that
class.
TE
O
N
L 6.3
Visibility
D
A
public class Circle {

A
G
// Constructor
public Circle (double x, double y, double r) {

this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
SJ
this.r = r;
TE
//Methods to return circumference and area
public double circumference() { return 2*3.14*r;}
public double area() { return 3.14 * r * r; }
O
}
N
L 6.4
Keyword this
D
A
• Can be used by any object to refer to itself
A
in any class method
G
• Typically used to
U
– Avoid variable name collisions
SJ
– Pass the receiver as an argument
– Chain constructors
TE
O
N
L 6.5
Keyword this
D
A
• Keyword this allows a method to refer to the object
A
that invoked it.
G
• It can be used inside any method to refer to the
current object:
U
Box(double width, double height, double depth) {
SJ
this.width = width;
TE
this.height = height;
this.depth = depth;
O
}
N
L 6.6
Garbage Collection
D
A
• Garbage collection is a mechanism to remove objects from
A
memory when they are no longer needed.
• Garbage collection is carried out by the garbage collector:
G
• 1) The garbage collector keeps track of how many references
U
an object has.
• 2) It removes an object from memory when it has no longer
SJ
any references.
• 3) Thereafter, the memory occupied by the object can be
TE
allocated again.
• 4) The garbage collector invokes the finalize method.
O
N
L 6.7
finalize() Method
D
A
• A constructor helps to initialize an object just after it
A
has been created.
• In contrast, the finalize method is invoked just before
G
the object is destroyed:
U
• 1) implemented inside a class as:
SJ
protected void finalize() { … }
• 2) implemented when the usual way of removing
TE
objects from memory is insufficient, and some
special actions has to be carried out
O
N
L 6.8
Method Overloading
D
A
• It is legal for a class to have two or more methods
A
with the same name.
• However, Java has to be able to uniquely associate
G
the invocation of a method with its definition
U
relying on the number and types of arguments.
• Therefore the same-named methods must be
SJ
distinguished:
• 1) by the number of arguments, or
TE
• 2) by the types of arguments
• Overloading and inheritance are two ways to
O
implement polymorphism.
N
L 7.1
Example: Overloading
D
A
class OverloadDemo {
A
void test() {
System.out.println("No parameters");
G
}
void test(int a) {
System.out.println("a: " + a);
U
}
void test(int a, int b) {
}
SJ
System.out.println("a and b: " + a + " " + b);
double test(double a) {
TE
System.out.println("double a: " + a); return a*a;
}
}
O
N
L 7.2
Constructor Overloading
D
A
class Box {
A
double width, height, depth;
G
}
U
Box() {
width = -1; height = -1; depth = -1;
} SJ
Box(double len) {
TE
width = height = depth = len;
}
double volume() { return width * height * depth; }
O
}
N
L 7.3
Parameter Passing
D
A
• Two types of variables:
A
1) simple types
2) class types
G
• Two corresponding ways of how the arguments are
U
passed to methods:
• 1) by value a method receives a cope of the original
SJ
value; parameters of simple types
• 2) by reference a method receives the memory
TE
address of the original value, not the value itself;
parameters of class types
O
N
L 7.4
Call by value
D
A
class CallByValue {
A
G
Test ob = new Test();
int a = 15, b = 20;
U
System.out.print("a and b before call: “);
SJ
System.out.println(a + " " + b);
TE
ob.meth(a, b);
System.out.print("a and b after call: ");
O
System.out.println(a + " " + b);

}
N
L 7.5
}
Call by refference
D
A
• As the parameter hold the same address as the argument, changes to the
A
object inside the method do affect the object used by the argument:
class CallByRef {
G
U
Test ob = new Test(15, 20);
System.out.print("ob.a and ob.b before call: “);
SJ
System.out.println(ob.a + " " + ob.b);
ob.meth(ob);
TE
System.out.print("ob.a and ob.b after call: ");
System.out.println(ob.a + " " + ob.b);
}
O
}
N
L 7.6
Recursion
D
A
• A recursive method is a method that calls itself:
A
1) all method parameters and local variables are
G
allocated on the stack
2) arguments are prepared in the corresponding
U
parameter positions
SJ
3) the method code is executed for the new
arguments
TE
4) upon return, all parameters and variables are
removed from the stack
5) the execution continues immediately after the
O
invocation point
N
L 8.1
Example: Recursion
D
A
class Factorial {
A
int fact(int n) {
G
if (n==1) return 1;
return fact(n-1) * n;
U
}
}
SJ
class Recursion {
TE
Factorial f = new Factorial();
System.out.print("Factorial of 5 is ");
System.out.println(f.fact(5));
O
} }
N
L 8.2
String Handling
D
A
• String is probably the most commonly used class in
A
Java's class library. The obvious reason for this is that
strings are a very important part of programming.
G
• The first thing to understand about strings is that every
U
string you create is actually an object of type String.
Even string constants are actually String objects.
SJ
• For example, in the statement
System.out.println("This is a String, too");
TE
the string "This is a String, too" is a String constant
O
N
L 8.3
D
A
• Java defines one operator for String objects: +.
A
• It is used to concatenate two strings. For example,
G
this statement
U
• String myString = "I" + " like " + "Java.";
SJ
results in myString containing
TE
"I like Java."
O
N
L 8.4
• The String class contains several methods that you
can use. Here are a few. You can
D
• test two strings for equality by using
A
equals( ). You can obtain the length of a string by
A
calling the length( ) method. You can obtain the
character at a specified index within a string by
G
calling charAt( ). The general forms of these three
U
methods are shown here:
• // Demonstrating some String methods.
SJ
class StringDemo2 {
TE
String strOb1 = "First String";
O
String strOb2 = "Second String";

N
String strOb3 = strOb1;

L 8.5
System.out.println ("Char at index 3 in strOb1: " +
D
strOb1.charAt(3));
if(strOb1.equals(strOb2))
A
System.out.println("strOb1 == strOb2");
A
else
System.out.println("strOb1 != strOb2");
G
if(strOb1.equals(strOb3))
System.out.println("strOb1 == strOb3");
else
U
System.out.println("strOb1 != strOb3");
}}
SJ
This program generates the following output:
Length of strOb1: 12
TE
Char at index 3 in strOb1: s
strOb1 != strOb2
strOb1 == strOb3
O
N
L 8.6
Hierarchical Abstraction
D
A
• An essential element of object-oriented programming is
A
abstraction.
• Humans manage complexity through abstraction. For
G
example, people do not think of a car as a set of tens of
U
thousands of individual parts. They think of it as a well-
defined object with its own unique behavior.
SJ
• This abstraction allows people to use a car without being
overwhelmed by the complexity of the parts that form
the car. They can ignore the details of how the engine,
TE
transmission, and braking systems work.
• Instead they are free to utilize the object as a whole.
O
N
L 1.1
Class Hierarchy
D
A
 A child class of one parent can be the parent of
A
another child, forming class hierarchies
G
Animal

SJ
Reptile Bird Mammal
TE
Snake Lizard Parrot Horse Bat

O
At the top of the hierarchy there’s a default class

N

called Object. L 1.2
Class Hierarchy
D
A
• Good class design puts all common features as
A
high in the hierarchy as reasonable
G
• The class hierarchy determines how methods are
U
executed
• inheritance is transitive
SJ
– An instance of class Parrot is also an
TE
instance of Bird, an instance of Animal, …,
and an instance of class Object
O
N
L 1.3
Base Class Object
D
A
• In Java, all classes use inheritance.
A
• If no parent class is specified explicitly, the
G
base class Object is implicitly inherited.
U
• All classes defined in Java, is a child of Object
SJ
class, which provides minimal functionality
guaranteed to e common to all objects.
TE
O
N
L 1.4
Base Class Object
D
(cont)
A
Methods defined in Object class are;
A
1.equals(Object obj) Determine whether the
G
argument object is the same as the receiver.
U
2.getClass() Returns the class of the receiver, an object
of type Class.
SJ
3.hashCode() Returns a hash value for this object. Should
TE
be overridden when the equals method is changed.
4.toString() Converts object into a string value. This
method is also often overridden.
O
N
L 1.5
D
Base class
A
A
1) a class obtains variables and methods from
another class
G
2) the former is called subclass, the latter super-
U
class (Base class)
SJ
3) a sub-class provides a specialized behavior
TE
with respect to its super-class
4) inheritance facilitates code reuse and avoids
O
duplication of data
N
L 1.6
D
A
• One of the pillars of object-orientation.
• A new class is derived from an existing class:
A
1) existing class is called super-class
G
2) derived class is called sub-class
• A sub-class is a specialized version of its super-class:
U
1) has all non-private members of its
SJ
super-class
2) may provide its own implementation of
super-class methods
TE
• Objects of a sub-class are a special kind of objects of a
super-class.

Subclass, Subtype and
D
Substitutability
A
• A subtype is a class that satisfies the principle of
A
substitutability.
G
U
• A subclass is something constructed using
inheritance, whether or not it satisfies the principle
SJ
of substitutability.
TE
• The two concepts are independent. Not all
subclasses are subtypes, and (at least in some
O
languages) you can construct subtypes that are

not subclasses.
N
L 2.1
Subclass, Subtype, and Substitutability
D
A
A
• Substitutability is fundamental to many of the
powerful software development techniques in
G
OOP.
U
• The idea is that, declared a variable in one
SJ
type may hold the value of different type.
• Substitutability can occur through use of
TE
inheritance, whether using extends, or using
implements keywords.
O
N
L 2.2
Subclass, Subtype, and Substitutability
D
A
When new classes are constructed using inheritance, the
A
argument used to justify the validity of substitutability is as
follows;
G
• Instances of the subclass must possess all data fields
U
associated with its parent class.
SJ
• Instances of the subclass must implement, through
inheritance at least, all functionality defined for parent class.
TE
(Defining new methods is not important for the argument.)
• Thus, an instance of a child class can mimic the behavior of
O
the parent class and should be indistinguishable from an

instance of parent class if substituted in a similar situation.
N
L 2.3
Subclass, Subtype, and
D
Substitutability
A
➢The term subtype is used to describe the relationship
A
between types that explicitly recognizes the principle of
G
substitution. A type B is considered to be a subtype of A if
an instances of B can legally be assigned to a variable
U
declared as of type A.
SJ
➢The term subclass refers to inheritance mechanism
TE
made by extends keyword.
➢Not all subclasses are subtypes. Subtypes can also be
O
formed using interface, linking types that have no

N
inheritance relationship.
L 2.4
Subclass
D
A
• Methods allows to reuse a sequence of statements
A
• Inheritance allows to reuse classes by deriving a new class
from an existing one
G
• The existing class is called the parent class, or superclass, or
base class
U
• The derived class is called the child class or subclass.
SJ
• As the name implies, the child inherits characteristics of the
parent(i.e the child class inherits the methods and data
defined for the parent class
TE
O
N
L 2.5
Subtype
D
A
• Inheritance relationships are often shown
A

an inheritance relationship
A

int weight;
public void int getWeight() {…}
} SJ
class Bird extends Animal
TE
{
// class contents
public void fly() {…};
O
}
N
L 2.7
Defining Methods in the Child Class:
D
Overriding by Replacement
A
• A child class can override the definition of an inherited method in
favor of its own
A
– that is, a child can redefine a method that it inherits from its parent
– the new method must have the same signature as the parent's method,
G
but can have different code in the body
U
• In java, all methods except of constructors override the methods of
their ancestor class by replacement. E.g.:
–
–
–
SJ
the Animal class has method eat()
the Bird class has method eat() and Bird extends Animal
variable b is of class Bird, i.e. Bird b = …
TE
– b.eat() simply invokes the eat() method of the Bird class
• If a method is declared with the final modifier, it cannot be

O
overridden
N
L 2.8
Forms of Inheritance
D
A
Inheritance is used in a variety of way and for a variety of different
A
purposes .
• Inheritance for Specialization
G
• Inheritance for Specification
U
• Inheritance for Construction
SJ
• Inheritance for Extension
TE
• Inheritance for Limitation
• Inheritance for Combination
O
One or many of these forms may occur in a single case.

N
L 3.1
D
(- Inheritance for Specialization -)
A
Most commonly used inheritance and sub classification is for
A
specialization.
G
Always creates a subtype, and the principles of substitutability
is explicitly upheld.
U
It is the most ideal form of inheritance.
SJ
An example of subclassification for specialization is;
TE
public class PinBallGame extends Frame {
// body of class
O
}
N
L 3.2
D
Specialization
A
• By far the most common form of inheritance is for specialization.
A
– Child class is a specialized form of parent class
– Principle of substitutability holds
G
• A good example is the Java hierarchy of Graphical components in
the AWT:
U
• Component
• Label
SJ
• Button
• TextComponent
TE
– TextArea
– TextField
• CheckBox
O
• ScrollBar
N
L 3.3
D
(- Inheritance for Specification -)
A
A
This is another most common use of inheritance. Two different
mechanisms are provided by Java, interface and abstract, to make
G
use of subclassification for specification. Subtype is formed and
substitutability is explicitly upheld.
U
Mostly, not used for refinement of its parent class, but instead is
SJ
used for definitions of the properties provided by its parent.
class FireButtonListener implements ActionListener {
TE
// body of class
}
O
class B extends A {
// class A is defined as abstract specification class
N
} L 3.4
Specification
D
A
• The next most common form of
A
inheritance involves specification. The
parent class specifies some behavior,
G
but does not implement the behavior
U
– Child class implements the behavior
– Similar to Java interface or abstract class
SJ
– When parent class does not implement actual
behavior but merely defines the behavior that will be
implemented in child classes
TE
• Example, Java 1.1 Event Listeners:
ActionListener, MouseListener, and so on specify
behavior, but must be subclassed.
O
N
L 3.5
D
(- Inheritance for Construction -)
A
A
Child class inherits most of its functionality from parent,
but may change the name or parameters of methods
G
inherited from parent class to form its interface.
U
This type of inheritance is also widely used for code
SJ
reuse purposes. It simplifies the construction of newly
formed abstraction but is not a form of subtype, and
TE
often violates substitutability.
Example is Stack class defined in Java libraries.
O
N
L 4.1
Construction
D
A
• The parent class is used only for its

behavior, the child class has no is-a
relationship to the parent.
G
– Child modify the arguments or names of

• An example might be subclassing the idea
of a Set from an existing List class.
TE
– Child class is not a more specialized
form of parent class; no substitutability

(- Inheritance for Extension -)
A
A
Subclassification for extension occurs when a child
G
class only adds new behavior to the parent class and
U
does not modify or alter any of the inherited attributes.
SJ
Such subclasses are always subtypes, and
substitutability can be used.
TE
Example of this type of inheritance is done in the
definition of the class Properties which is an
O
extension of the class HashTable.

N
L 4.3
D
Generalization or Extension
A
 The child class generalizes or extends the parent class
A
by providing more functionality
 In some sense, opposite of subclassing for
G
specialization
U
 The child doesn't change anything inherited from the
parent, it simply adds new features
SJ
 Often used when we cannot modify existing
base parent class
TE
 Example, ColoredWindow inheriting from Window
 Add additional data fields
 Override window display methods
O
N
L 4.4
D
(- Inheritance for Limitation -)
A
Subclassification for limitation occurs when the
A
behavior of the subclass is smaller or more
G
restrictive that the behavior of its parent class.
U
Like subclassification for extension, this form
SJ
of inheritance occurs most frequently when a
TE
programmer is building on a base of existing
classes.
O
Is not a subtype, and substitutability is not

N
proper. L 4.5
Limitation
D
A
• The child class limits some of the behavior of
A
the parent class.
G
• Example, you have an existing List data type,
and you want a Stack
U
• Inherit from List, but override the methods
SJ
that allow access to elements other than top
so as to produce errors.
TE
O
N
L 4.6
D
(- Inheritance for Combination -)
A
This types of inheritance is known as multiple inheritance in
A
Object Oriented Programming.
G
Although the Java does not permit a subclass to be formed be
U
inheritance from more than one parent class, several
approximations to the concept are possible.
SJ
Example of this type is Hole class defined as;
TE
class Hole extends Ball implements
PinBallTarget{
// body of class
O
}
N
L 4.7
Combimnation
D
A
• Two or more classes that seem to be related,
A
but its not clear who should be the parent
G
and who should be the child.
• Example: Mouse and TouchPad and JoyStick
U
• Better solution, abstract out common parts to
SJ
new parent class, and use subclassing for
specialization.
TE

N
L 4.8
Summary of Forms of Inheritance
D
A
• Specialization. The child class is a special case of the parent class;
in other words, the child class is a subtype of the parent class.
A
• Specification. The parent class defines behavior that is implemented
in the child class but not in the parent class.
G
• Construction. The child class makes use of the behavior provided by
the parent class, but is not a subtype of the parent class.
U
• Generalization. The child class modifies or overrides some of the
methods of the parent class.
•
•
SJ
Extension. The child class adds new functionality to the parent class,
but does not change any inherited behavior.
Limitation. The child class restricts the use of some of the behavior
TE
inherited from the parent class.
• Variance. The child class and parent class are variants of each other,
and the class-subclass relationship is arbitrary.
• Combination. The child class inherits features from more than one
O
parent class. This is multiple inheritance and will be the subject of a

later chapter.

The Benefits of Inheritance
D
A
• Software Reusability (among projects)
A
• Increased Reliability (resulting from reuse and sharing
G
of well-tested code)
• Code Sharing (within a project)
U
• Consistency of Interface (among related objects)

Member access rules
D
A

A
are accessible and which do not
G
• Members (variables and methods) declared with
U
public visibility are accessible, and those with
private visibility are not
SJ
• Problem: How to make class/instance variables visible
TE
only to its subclasses?
• Solution: Java provides a third visibility modifier that
O
helps in inheritance situations: protected

A
Visibility Modifiers for class/interface:
A
public : can be accessed from outside the class definition.
G
protected : can be accessed only within the class definition in
U
which it appears, within other classess in the same package, or
within the definition of subclassess.
SJ
private : can be accessed only within the class definition in
which it appears.
TE
default-access (if omitted) features accessible from inside the
current Java package
O
N
L 6.2
The protected Modifier
D
A
• The protected visibility modifier allows a member of a base class
A
to be accessed in the child
– protected visibility provides more encapsulation than
G
public does
– protected visibility is not as tightly encapsulated as private
U
visibility

of super class from sub class.
G
 super.a=a;
It is used to call a constructor of super class from

 super(a,b);
TE
 It is used to call a super class method from sub class
method to avoid redundancy of code
O
 super.addNumbers(a, b);
N
L 6.11
Super and Hiding
D
A
• Why is super needed to access super-class members?
A
• When a sub-class declares the variables or methods with the same
names and types as its super-class:
G
class A {
int i = 1;
U
}
class B extends A {
SJ
int i = 2;
System.out.println(“i is “ + i);
}
TE
• The re-declared variables/methods hide those of the super-class.
O
N
L 6.12
Example: Super and Hiding
D
A
class A {
A
int i;
}
G
class B extends A {
int i;
U
B(int a, int b) {
SJ
super.i = a; i = b;
}
TE
void show() {
System.out.println("i in superclass: " + super.i);
System.out.println("i in subclass: " + i);
O
}
}
N
L 6.13
Example: Super and Hiding
D
A
• Although the i variable in B hides the i
A
variable in A, super allows access to the
hidden variable of the super-class:
G
class UseSuper {
U
SJ
B subOb = new B(1, 2);
subOb.show();
TE
}
}
O
N
L 6.14
D
Using final with inheritance
A
• final keyword is used declare constants which can not change its
A
value of definition.
G
• final Variables can not change its value.
U
SJ
• final Methods can not be Overridden or Over Loaded
TE
• final Classes can not be extended or inherited
O
N
L 6.15
Preventing Overriding with final
D
A
• A method declared final cannot be overridden in any sub-
A
class:
G
class A {
final void meth() {
U
System.out.println("This is a final method.");
}
} SJ
This class declaration is illegal:
TE
class B extends A {
void meth() {
System.out.println("Illegal!");
O
}
}
N
L 6.16
Preventing Inheritance with final
D
A
• A class declared final cannot be inherited – has no
A
sub-classes.
G
final class A { … }
• This class declaration is considered illegal:
U
class B extends A { … }
SJ
• Declaring a class final implicitly declares all its
methods final.
TE
• It is illegal to declare a class as both abstract and
final.
O
N
L 6.17
Polymorphism
D
A
• Polymorphism is one of three pillars of object-
orientation.
A
• Polymorphism: many different (poly) forms of objects
that share a common interface respond differently when
G
a method of that interface is invoked:
U
1) a super-class defines the common interface
2) sub-classes have to follow this interface
SJ
(inheritance), but are also permitted to
provide their own implementations
TE
(overriding)
• A sub-class provides a specialized behaviors relying on
the common elements defined by its super-class.
O
N
L 7.1
Polymorphism
D
A
• A polymorphic reference can refer to different types of objects at
different times
A
– In java every reference can be polymorphic except of references
to base types and final classes.
G
•
U
It is the type of the object being referenced, not the reference type,
that determines which method is invoked
SJ
– Polymorphic references are therefore resolved at run-time, not
during compilation; this is called dynamic binding
TE
• Careful use of polymorphic references can lead to elegant, robust
software designs
O
N
L 7.2
D
A
• When a method of a sub-class has the
Method Overriding
A
same name and type as a method of the
G
super-class, we say that this method is
overridden.
U
• When an overridden method is called
SJ
from within the sub-class:
TE
1) it will always refer to the sub-class
method
2) super-class method is hidden
O
N
L 7.3
Example: Hiding with Overriding 1
D
A
class A {
A
int i, j;
A(int a, int b) {
G
i = a; j = b;
U
}
void show() {
SJ
System.out.println("i and j: " + i + " " + j);
TE
}
}
O
N
L 7.4
D
A
class B extends A {
A
int k;
B(int a, int b, int c) {
G
super(a, b);
U
k = c;
} SJ
void show() {
TE
System.out.println("k: " + k);
}
}
O
N
L 7.5
D
A
• When show() is invoked on an object of type B, the
A
version of show() defined in B is used:
class Override {
G
U
B subOb = new B(1, 2, 3);
subOb.show();
SJ}
}
TE
• The version of show() in A is hidden through
overriding.
O
N
L7.6
Overloading vs. Overriding
D
A
• Overloading deals with • Overriding deals with two
A
multiple methods in the methods, one in a parent
G
same class with the same class and one in a child class,
name but different that have the same
U
signatures signature
• Overloading lets you
SJ
define a similar operation o Overriding lets you define a
in different ways for similar operation in different
TE
different data ways for different object
types
O
N
L 7.7
Abstract Classes
D
A
• Java allows abstract classes
A
– use the modifier abstract on a class header to declare an
abstract class
G
abstract class Vehicle
{ … }
U
• An abstract class is a placeholder in a class hierarchy
SJ
that represents a generic concept
TE
Vehicle
O
N
Car Boat Plane

L 7.8
Abstract Class: Example
D
A
 An abstract class often contains abstract methods,
A
though it doesn’t have to
⚫ Abstract methods consist of only methods declarations,
G
without any method body
U
public abstract class Vehicle
{ SJ
String name;
public String getName()
TE
{ return name; } \\ method body
abstract public void move();

O
\\ no body!
}
N
L 7.9
Abstract Classes
D
A
• An abstract class often contains abstract methods, though it
A
doesn’t have to
– Abstract methods consist of only methods declarations, without any
G
method body
• The non-abstract child of an abstract class must override the
U
abstract methods of the parent
SJ
• An abstract class cannot be instantiated
• The use of abstract classes is a design decision; it helps us
TE
establish common elements in a class that is too general to
instantiate
O
N
L 7.10
Abstract Method
D
A
• Inheritance allows a sub-class to override the methods of its
A
super-class.
• A super-class may altogether leave the implementation details
G
of a method and declare such a method abstract:
• abstract type name(parameter-list);
U
• Two kinds of methods:
1) concrete – may be overridden by sub-classes
SJ
2) abstract – must be overridden by sub-classes
• It is illegal to define abstract constructors or static methods.
TE

N
L 7.11
Defining a Package
D
❖A package is both a naming and a visibility control
A
mechanism:
1) divides the name space into disjoint subsets It is
A
possible to define classes within a package that are
G
not accessible by code outside the package.
U
2) controls the visibility of classes and their members
It is possible to define class members that are only
SJ
exposed to other members of the same package.
❖Same-package classes may have an intimate
TE
knowledge of each other, but not expose that
knowledge to other packages
O
N
L 1.1
Creating a Package
D
• A package statement inserted as the first line of the
A
source file:
A
package myPackage;
G
class MyClass1 { … }
U
• means that all classes in this file belong to the
SJ
myPackage package.
• The package statement creates a name space where
TE
such classes are stored.
• When the package statement is omitted, class names
O
are put into the default package which has no name.

N
L 1.2
Multiple Source Files
D
A
• Other files may include the same package
A
instruction:
G
1. package myPackage;
U
2.
SJ
package myPackage;
TE
class MyClass3{ … }
• A package may be distributed through several
O
source files
N
L 1.3
Packages and Directories
D
• Java uses file system directories to store packages.
A
• Consider the Java source file:
A
package myPackage;
G
U
• The byte code files MyClass1.class and
SJ
MyClass2.class must be stored in a directory
myPackage.
TE
• Case is significant! Directory names must match
package names exactly.
O
N
L 1.4
Package Hierarchy
D
• To create a package hierarchy, separate each package
A
name with a dot:
package myPackage1.myPackage2.myPackage3;
A
• A package hierarchy must be stored accordingly in the file
G
system:
U
1) Unix myPackage1/myPackage2/myPackage3
SJ
2) Windows myPackage1\myPackage2\myPackage3
3) Macintosh myPackage1:myPackage2:myPackage3
TE
• You cannot rename a package without renaming its
directory!
O
N
L 1.5
Accessing a Package
D
• As packages are stored in directories, how
A
does the Java run-time system know where to
A
look for packages?
• Two ways:
G
1) The current directory is the default start
U
point - if packages are stored in the current
SJ
directory or sub-directories, they will be
found.
TE
2) Specify a directory path or paths by setting
the CLASSPATH environment variable.
O
N
L 1.6
CLASSPATH Variable
D
• CLASSPATH - environment variable that points
A
to the root directory of the system’s package
A
hierarchy.
• Several root directories may be specified in
G
CLASSPATH,
U
• e.g. the current directory and the
C:\raju\myJava directory:
SJ
.;C:\raju\myJava
TE
• Java will search for the required packages by
looking up subsequent directories described in
the CLASSPATH variable.
O
N
L 1.7
Finding Packages
D
A
• Consider this package statement:
A
package myPackage;
G
• In order for a program to find myPackage, one
U
of the following must be true:
SJ
1) program is executed from the directory
immediately above myPackage (the parent of
TE
myPackage directory)
2) CLASSPATH must be set to include the path
O
to myPackage
N
L 1.8
Example: Package
D
package MyPack;
A
A
class Balance {
String name;
G
double bal;
U
Balance(String n, double b) {
name = n; bal = b;
SJ
}
TE
void show() {
if (bal<0) System.out.print("-->> ");
System.out.println(name + ": $" + bal);
O
} }
N
L 1.9
Example: Package
D
class AccountBalance {
A
A
Balance current[] = new Balance[3];
G
current[0] = new Balance("K. J. Fielding", 123.23);
U
current[1] = new Balance("Will Tell", 157.02);
SJ
current[2] = new Balance("Tom Jackson", -12.33);
for (int i=0; i<3; i++) current[i].show();
TE
}
}
O
N
L 1.10
Example: Package
D
• Save, compile and execute:
A
1) call the file AccountBalance.java
A
2) save the file in the directory MyPack
G
3) compile; AccountBalance.class should be also in
MyPack
U
4) set access to MyPack in CLASSPATH variable, or
SJ
make the parent of MyPack your current directory
5) run: java MyPack.AccountBalance
TE
• Make sure to use the package-qualified class name.
O
N
L 1.11
Importing of Packages
D
A
• Since classes within packages must be fully-
qualified with their package names, it would
A
be tedious to always type long dot-separated
G
names.
• The import statement allows to use classes or
U
whole packages directly.
SJ
• Importing of a concrete class:
import myPackage1.myPackage2.myClass;
TE
• Importing of all classes within a package:
import myPackage1.myPackage2.*;
O
N
L 2.1
Import Statement
D
• The import statement occurs immediately after the package
A
statement and before the class statement:
package myPackage;
A
• import otherPackage1;otherPackage2.otherClass;
G
class myClass { … }
• The Java system accepts this import statement by default:
U
import java.lang.*;
SJ
• This package includes the basic language functions. Without
such functions, Java is of no much use.
TE
O
N
L 2.2
Example: Packages 1
D
• A package MyPack with one public class Balance.
A
The class has two same-package variables: public constructor
and a public show method.
A
package MyPack;
public class Balance {
G
String name;
double bal;
U
public Balance(String n, double b) {
name = n; bal = b;
} SJ
public void show() {
TE
if (bal<0) System.out.print("-->> ");
System.out.println(name + ": $" + bal);
}
O
}
N
L 2.3
Example: Packages 2
D
The importing code has access to the public class
A
Balance of the MyPack package and its two public
A
members:
G
import MyPack.*;
U
class TestBalance {
SJ
Balance test = new Balance("J. J. Jaspers", 99.88);
TE
test.show();
}
O
}
N
L 2.4
Java Source File
D
A
• Finally, a Java source file consists of:
A
1) a single package instruction (optional)
G
2) several import statements (optional)
U
3) a single public class declaration (required)
SJ
4) several classes private to the package
TE
(optional)
• At the minimum, a file contains a single public
O
class declaration.
N
L 2.5
Differences between classes and interfaces
D
A
• Interfaces are syntactically similar to classes,
A
but they lack instance variables, and their
G
methods are declared without any body.
U
• One class can implement any number of
SJ
interfaces.
• Interfaces are designed to support dynamic
TE
method resolution at run time.
O
N
L 3.1
• Interface is little bit like a class... but interface is lack in
instance variables....that's u can't create object for it.....
D
• Interfaces are developed to support multiple inheritance...
A
• The methods present in interfaces r pure abstract..
• The access specifiers public,private,protected are possible
A
with classes, but the interface uses only one spcifier public.....
G
• interfaces contains only the method declarations.... no
definitions.......
U
• A interface defines, which method a class has to implement.
This is way - if you want to call a method defined by an
SJ
interface - you don't need to know the exact class type of an
object, you only need to know that it implements a specific
TE
interface.
• Another important point about interfaces is that a class can
implement multiple interfaces.
O
N
L 3.2
Defining an interface
D
A
• Using interface, we specify what a class must
A
do, but not how it does this.
G
• An interface is syntactically similar to a class,
U
but it lacks instance variables and its methods
SJ
are declared without any body.
• An interface is defined with an interface
TE
keyword.
O
N
L 4.1
Defining an Interface
D
❖ An interface declaration consists of modifiers, the keyword interface, the
interface name, a comma-separated list of parent interfaces (if any), and the
A
interface body. For example:
public interface GroupedInterface extends Interface1, Interface2, Interface3 {
// constant declarations double E = 2.718282;
A
// base of natural logarithms //
//method signatures
G
void doSomething (int i, double x);
int doSomethingElse(String s);
U
}
❖ The public access specifier indicates that the interface can be used by any class in
SJ
any package. If you do not specify that the interface is public, your interface will
be accessible only to classes defined in the same package as the interface.
❖ An interface can extend other interfaces, just as a class can extend or subclass
TE
another class. However, whereas a class can extend only one other class, an
interface can extend any number of interfaces. The interface declaration includes
a comma-separated list of all the interfaces that it extends
O
N
L 4.2
Implementing interface
D
• General format:
A
access interface name {
A
type method-name1(parameter-list);
G
type method-name2(parameter-list);
U
…
SJ
type var-name1 = value1;
type var-nameM = valueM;
TE
…
O
}
N
L 5.1
• Two types of access:

1) public – interface may be used anywhere in a
A
program
A
2) default – interface may be used in the current
package only
G
• Interface methods have no bodies – they end with
U
the semicolon after the parameter list.
SJ
• They are essentially abstract methods.
• An interface may include variables, but they must
TE
be final, static and initialized with a constant value.
• In a public interface, all members are implicitly

Interface Implementation
D
• A class implements an interface if it provides a
A
complete set of methods defined by this
A
interface.
1) any number of classes may implement an
G
interface
U
2) one class may implement any number of
SJ
interfaces
• Each class is free to determine the details of
TE
its implementation.
• Implementation relation is written with the
implements keyword.
O

L 5.3
Implementation Format
D
• General format of a class that includes the
A
implements clause:
A
• Syntax:
G
access class name extends super-class
U
implements interface1, interface2, …,
SJ
interfaceN {
TE
…
}
O
• Access is public or default.

L 5.4
Implementation Comments
D
• If a class implements several interfaces, they
A
are separated with a comma.
A
• If a class implements two interfaces that
declare the same method, the same method
G
will be used by the clients of either interface.
U
• The methods that implement an interface
SJ
must be declared public.
• The type signature of the implementing
TE
method must match exactly the type signature
specified in the interface definition.

Declaration of the Callback interface:
A
interface Callback {

public void callback(int p) {
System.out.println("callback called with " + p);

More Methods in Implementation
D
• An implementing class may also declare its own

Applying interfaces
D
A Java interface declares a set of method

variables in interface
D
• Variables declared in an interface must be constants.
A
• A technique to import shared constants into multiple
classes:
A
1) declare an interface with variables initialized to
G
the desired values
2) include that interface in a class through
U
implementation
SJ
• As no methods are included in the interface, the
class does not implement
TE
• anything except importing the variables as constants.
O
N
L 7.1
Example: Interface Variables 1
D
An interface with constant values:
A
import java.util.Random;
A
interface SharedConstants {
G
int NO = 0;
U
int YES = 1;
int MAYBE = 2;
SJ
int LATER = 3;
TE
int SOON = 4;
int NEVER = 5;
O
}
N
L 7.2
D
• Question implements SharedConstants, including all its
constants.
A
• Which constant is returned depends on the generated
random number:
A
class Question implements SharedConstants {
Random rand = new Random();
G
int ask() {
int prob = (int) (100 * rand.nextDouble());
U
if (prob < 30) return NO;
SJ
else if (prob < 60) return YES;
else if (prob < 75) return LATER;
else if (prob < 98) return SOON;
TE
else return NEVER;
}
}
O
N
L 7.3
D
• AskMe includes all shared constants in the same way, using
A
them to display the result, depending on the value received:
class AskMe implements SharedConstants {
A
static void answer(int result) {
switch(result) {
G
case NO: System.out.println("No"); break;
U
case YES: System.out.println("Yes"); break;
case MAYBE: System.out.println("Maybe"); break;
SJ
case LATER: System.out.println("Later"); break;
case SOON: System.out.println("Soon"); break;
TE
case NEVER: System.out.println("Never"); break;
}
}
O
N
L 7.4
D
 The testing function relies on the fact that both ask
A
and answer methods,
 defined in different classes, rely on the same
A
constants:
G
Question q = new Question();
U
answer(q.ask());
SJ
answer(q.ask());
answer(q.ask());
TE
answer(q.ask());
}
O
}
N

extending interfaces
D
• One interface may inherit another interface.
A
• The inheritance syntax is the same for classes and
interfaces.
A
interface MyInterface1 {
G
void myMethod1(…) ;
}
U
interface MyInterface2 extends MyInterface1 {
SJ
void myMethod2(…) ;
}
TE
• When a class implements an interface that inherits
another interface, it must provide implementations
for all methods defined within the interface
O
inheritance chain.
N
L 7.6
Example: Interface Inheritance 1
D
• Consider interfaces A and B.
A
interface A {
A
void meth1();
G
void meth2();
U
}
SJ
B extends A:
TE
interface B extends A {
void meth3();
O
}
N
L 7.7
D
• MyClass must implement all of A and B methods:
A
class MyClass implements B {
A
public void meth1() {
G
System.out.println("Implement meth1().");
}
U
SJ
}
TE
O
}}
N
L 7.8
D
• Create a new MyClass object, then invoke all
A
interface methods on it:
A
class IFExtend {
G
public static void main(String arg[]) {
MyClass ob = new MyClass();
U
ob.meth1();
SJ
ob.meth2();
TE
ob.meth3();
}
