OBJECT ORIENTED ANALYSIS

AND DESIGN

Object and class

What is an object?
● An object in Java is any real-world
thing that has properties and
actions.
● In other words, an entity that has
state and behavior is known as an
object.
● Here, state represents properties
and behavior represents actions or
functionality.
What is class?
A class is basically user-defined
data types that act as a template for
creating objects of the identical type.
It represents the common properties
and actions (functions) of an object.
In other words, a class can also be
defined as “a class is a group of
objects which are common to all
objects of one type”.
Realtime Example:

Let’s take one interesting example is Mobile

Phone.
● The name of the class is “Phone”. It has
different models. But the type is same
‘Phone’. This is the class.
● It has some properties and actions. This is
called Object.
● Thus, a phone object is comprised of the
properties that the phone has actions that
phone does.
Ex: ‘Phone Oppo A9 2020’.

Properties are width = 6.5 or “6.5 inch “,

color = “Space Purple”, OS = “Android
9.0”, price = 15000”,brand = “Oppo A9
2020”, and weight = “195 gm”.

Actions/Behavior are call(), sendSms(),

runApp(), browserInternet(), sharing().
