Object-Oriented Thinking
A way of viewing world
 A way of viewing the world is an idea to illustrate the object-oriented programming concept with
an example of a real-world situation.
 Let us consider a situation, A person at office and he wants to get food to his family members
who are at his home from a hotel. Because of the distance from his office to home, there is no
possibility of getting food from a hotel . So, how do we solve the issue?
 To solve the problem, he calls zomato (an agent in food delevery community), tells them the
variety and quantity of food and the hotel name from which he wish to deliver the food to
hisfamily members. Look at the following image.
Agents and Communities
 To solve his food delivery problem, he used a solution by finding an appropriate agent (Zomato)
and passes a message containing his request. It is the responsibility of the agent (Zomato) to
satisfy his request. Here, the agent uses some method to do this. He does not need to know the
method that the agent has used to solve his request. This is usually hidden from him.
 So, in object-oriented programming, problem-solving is the solution to our problem which
requires the help of many individuals in the community.
 An object-oriented program is structured as a community of interacting agents, called
objects. Where each object provides a service (data and methods) that is used by other
members of the community.
 In our example, the online food delivery system is a community in which the agents are zomato
and set of hotels. Each hotel provides a variety of services that can be used by other members
like zomato, himself, and his family in the community.
1
Messages and Methods
 To solve his problem, he started with a request to the agent zomato, which led to still more
requests among the members of the community until his request has done. Here, the members
of a community interact with one another by making requests until the problem has satisfied.
 In object-oriented programming, every action is initiated by passing a message to an
agent (object), which is responsible for the action. The receiver is the object to whom the
message was sent. In response to the message, the receiver performs some method to
carry out the request. Every message may include any additional information as
arguments.
 In our example, He send a request to zomato with a message that contains food items, the
quantity of food, and the hotel details. The receiver uses a method to food get delivered to his
home.
Responsibilities
 In object-oriented programming, behaviors of an object described in terms of responsibilities.

 In our example, his request for action indicates only the desired outcome (food delivered to his
family). The agent (zomato) free to use any technique that solves my problem.
 By discussing a problem in terms of responsibilities increases the level of abstraction. This
enables more independence between the objects in solving complex problems.
Classes and Instances
 In object-oriented programming, all objects are instances of a class. The method invoked by an
object in response to a message is decided by the class.
 All the objects of a class use the same method in response to a similar message.
 In our example, the zomato a class and all the hotels are sub-classes of it. For every request
(message), the class creates an instance of it and uses a suitable method to solve the problem.
Classes Hierarchies
 A graphical representation is often used to illustrate the relationships among the classes
(objects) of a community.
 This graphical representation shows classes listed in a hierarchical tree-like structure.
 In this more abstract class listed near the top of the tree, and more specific classes in the middle
of the tree, and the individuals listed near the bottom.
 In object-oriented programming, classes can be organized into a hierarchical inheritance
structure. A child class inherits properties from the parent class that higher in the tree.
Method Binding, Overriding, and Exception
 In the class hierarchy, both parent and child classes may have the same method which
implemented individually.
 Here, the implementation of the parent is overridden by the child. Or a class may provide
multiple definitions to a single method to work with different arguments (overloading).
 The search for the method to invoke in response to a request (message) begins with the class of
this receiver.
 If no suitable method is found, the search is performed in the parent class of it.
 The search continues up the parent class chain until either a suitable method is found or the
parent class chain is exhausted.
 If a suitable method is found, the method is executed. Otherwise, an error message is issued.

Summary of Object-Oriented concepts
 OOP stands for Object-Oriented Programming. OOP is a programming paradigm in which every
program is follows the concept of object.
 In other words, OOP is a way of writing programs based on the object concept.
The object-oriented programming paradigm has the following core concepts.
 Encapsulation
 Inheritance
 Polymorphism
 Abstraction
The popular object-oriented programming languages are
 Smalltalk,
 C++,
 Java,
 PHP,
 C#,
 Python, etc.
Encapsulation
 Encapsulation is the process of combining data and code into a single unit (object / class).
 In OOP, every object is associated with its data and code.
 In programming, data is defined as variables and code is defined as methods.
 The java programming language uses the class concept to implement encapsulation.
Inheritance
 Inheritance is the process of acquiring properties and behaviors from one object to another
object or one class to another class.
 In inheritance, we derive a new class from the existing class. Here, the new class acquires the
properties and behaviors from the existing class.
 In the inheritance concept, the class which provides properties is called as parent class and the
class which recieves the properties is called as child class.
 The parent class is also known as base class or supre class. The child class is also known as
derived class or sub class.
 In the inheritance, the properties and behaviors of base class extended to its derived class, but
the base class never receive properties or behaviors from its derived class.
 In java programming language the keyword extends is used to implement inheritance.
3
Polymorphism
Polymorphism is the process of defining same method with different implementation. That means
creating multiple methods with different behaviors.
The java uses method overloading and method overriding to implement polymorphism.
Method overloading – Defining multiple methods with same name but with different parameters.
Method overriding - Defining multiple methods with same name and same parameters.
Abstraction
 Abstraction is hiding the internal details and showing only essential functionality.
 In the abstraction concept, we do not show the actual implementation to the end user, instead we
provide only essential things.
 For example, if we want to drive a car, we does not need to know about the internal functionality
like how wheel system works? how brake system works? how music system works? etc.

Java Buzz Words

Java is the most popular object-oriented programming language. Java has many advanced features, a
list of key features is known as Java Buzz Words. Following are Java Buzz Words.
1. Simple
2. Secure
3. Portable
4. Object-oriented
5. Robust
6. Architecture-neutral (or) Platform Independent
7. Multi-threaded
8. Interpreted
9. High performance
10. Distributed
11. Dynamic
Simple
Java programming language is very simple and easy to learn, understand, and code. Most of the
syntaxes in java follow basic programming language C and object-oriented programming concepts are
similar to C++. In a java programming language, many complicated features like pointers, operator
overloading, structures, unions, etc. have been removed. One of the most useful features is the garbage
collector it makes java more simple.
Secure
Java is said to be more secure programming language because it does not have pointers concept, java
provides a feature "applet" which can be embedded into a web application. The applet in java does not
5
allow access to other parts of the computer, which keeps away from harmful programs like viruses and
unauthorized access.
Portable
Portability is one of the core features of java which enables the java programs to run on any computer or
operating system. For example, an applet developed using java runs on a wide variety of CPUs,
operating systems, and browsers connected to the Internet.
Object-oriented
Java is said to be a pure object-oriented programming language. In java, everything is an object. It

supports all the features of the object-oriented programming paradigm. The primitive data types java
also implemented as objects using wrapper classes, but still, it allows primitive data types to archive
high-performance.
Robust
Java is more robust because the java code can be executed on a variety of environments, java has a
strong memory management mechanism (garbage collector), java is a strictly typed language, it has a
strong set of exception handling mechanism, and many more.
Architecture-neutral (or) Platform Independent
Java has invented to archive "write once; run anywhere, any time, forever". The java provides JVM
(Java Virtual Machine) to to archive architectural-neutral or platform-independent. The JVM allows the
java program created using one operating system can be executed on any other operating system.
Multi-threaded
Java supports multi-threading programming, which allows us to write programs that do multiple
operations simultaneously.
Interpreted
Java enables the creation of cross-platform programs by compiling into an intermediate representation
called Java bytecode. The byte code is interpreted to any machine code so that it runs on the native
machine.
High performance
Java provides high performance with the help of features like JVM, interpretation, and its simplicity.
Distributed
Java programming language supports TCP/IP protocols which enable the java to support the distributed
environment of the Internet. Java also supports Remote Method Invocation (RMI), this feature enables a
program to invoke methods across a network.
Dynamic
Java is said to be dynamic because the java byte code may be dynamically updated on a running
system and it has a dynamic memory allocation and deallocation (objects and garbage collector).
An Overview of Java
 Java is a computer programming language. Java was created based on C and C++.
 Java uses C syntax and many of the object-oriented features are taken from C++.
6
 Before Java was invented there were other languages like COBOL, FORTRAN, C, C++, Small
Talk, etc. These languages had few disadvantages which were corrected in Java.
 Java also innovated many new features to solve the fundamental problems which the previous
languages could not solve.
History of Java:
 In 1990, Sun Micro Systems Inc. (US) was conceived a project to develop software for consumer
electronic devices that could be controlled by a remote. This project was called Stealth Project
but later its name was changed to Green Project.
 In January 1991, Project Manager James Gosling and his team members Patrick Naughton,
Mike Sheridan, Chris Wrath, and Ed Frank met to discuss about this project.
 Gosling thought C and C++ would be used to develop the project. But the problem he faced with
them is that they were system dependent languages. The trouble with C and C++ (and most
other languages) is that they are designed to be compiled for a specific target and could not be
used on various processors, which the electronic devices might use.
 James Gosling with his team started developing a new language, which was completely system
independent. This language was initially called OAK. Since this name was registered by some
other company, later it was changed to Java.
 James Gosling and his team members were consuming a lot of coffee while developing this
language. Good quality of coffee was supplied from a place called “Java Island‟. Hence they
fixed the name of the language as Java. The symbol for Java language is cup and saucer.
 Sun formally announced Java at Sun World conference in 1995. On January 23rd 1996, JDK1.0
version was released.
Execution Process of Java Program
The following three steps are used to create and execute a java program.
1) Create a source code (.java file).

2) Compile the source code using javac command.
3) Run or execute .class file uisng java command.
7
Structure of the Java Program
//A Simple Java Program

import java.lang.System;
import java.lang.String;
class Sample
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.print ("Hello world");
}
}
 As all other programming languages, Java also has a structure.

 The first line of the C/C++ program contains include statement. For example, <stdio.h> is the
header file that contains functions, like printf (), scanf () etc. So if we want to use any of these
functions, we should include this header file in C/ C++ program.
 Similarly in Java first we need to import the required packages. By default java.lang.* is imported.
Java has several such packages in its library. A package is a kind of directory that contains a
group of related classes and interfaces. A class or interface contains methods.
 Since Java is purely an Object Oriented Programming language, we cannot write a Java program
without having at least one class or object. So, it is mandatory to write a class in Java program.
We should use class keyword for this purpose and then write class name.
 In C/C++, program starts executing from main method similarly in Java, program starts executing
from main method. The return type of main method is void because program starts executing
from main method and it returns nothing.
 Since Java is purely an Object Oriented Programming language, without creating an object to a
class it is not possible to access methods and members of a class. But main method is also a
method inside a class, since program execution starts from main method we need to call main
method without creating an object.
 Static methods are the methods, which can be called and executed without creating objects.
Since we want to call main () method without using an object, we should declare main ()method
as static. JVM calls main () method using its Classname.main () at the time of running the
program.
 JVM is a program written by Java Soft people (Java development team) and main () is the
method written by us. Since, main () method should be available to the JVM, it should be
declared as public. If we don‟t declare main () method as public, then it doesn‟t make itself
available to JVM and JVM cannot execute it.
8
 JVM always looks for main () method with String type array as parameter otherwise JVM cannot
recognize the main () method, so we must provide String type array as parameter to main ()
method.
 A class code starts with a {and ends with a}. A class or an object contains variables and methods
(functions). We can create any number of variables and methods inside the class. This is our first
program, so we had written only one method called main ().
 Our aim of writing this program is just to display a string “Hello world”. In Java, print () method is
used to display something on the monitor.
 A method should be called by using objectname.methodname (). So, to call print () method,
create an object to PrintStream class then call objectname.print () method.
 An alternative is given to create an object to PrintStream Class i.e. System.out. Here, System is
the class name and out is a static variable in System class. out is called a field in System class.
When we call this field a PrintStream class object will be created internally. So, we can call print()
method as:
System.out.print (“Hello world”);
 println () is also a method belonging to PrintStream class. It throws the cursor to the next line
after displaying the result.
 In the above Sample program System and String are the classes present in java.lang
package.
Java Data Types

The classification of data item is called data type. The data type is a category of data stored in
variables. In java, data types are classified into two types and they are as follows.
The primitive data types are built-in data types and they specify the type of value stored in a variable and
the memory size. The primitive data types do not have any additional methods.
In java, primitive data types includes byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, and boolean.
9
Data Memory Default

type Meaning size Range Value
Whole
byte numbers 1 byte -128 to +127
0
Whole
short numbers 2 bytes -32768 to +32767 0

int numbers 4 bytes -2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647 0
Whole -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to
long numbers 8 bytes +9,223,372,036,854,775,807 0L
Fractional
float numbers 4 bytes - 0.0f
Fractional
double numbers 8 bytes - 0.0d
Single
char character 2 bytes 0 to 65535 \u0000
boolean unsigned char 1 bit 0 or 1 0 (false)

public class PrimitiveDataTypes

{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
byte i;
short j;
int k;
long l;
float m;
double n;
char ch;
boolean p;
System.out.println("byte value is ”+i);
System.out.println("short value is ”+j);
System.out.println("int value is ”+k);
System.out.println("long value is ”+l);
System.out.println("float value is ”+m);
System.out.println("double value is ”+n);
System.out.println("character value is”+ch);
10
System.out.println("boolean value is”+p);
}
}
OUTPUT
Non-primitive Data Types
 In java, non-primitive data types are the reference data types or user-created data types.
 All non-primitive data types are implemented using object concepts.
 Every variable of the non-primitive data type is an object.
 The non-primitive data types may use additional methods to perform certain operations.
 The default value of non-primitive data type variable is null.
In java, examples of non-primitive data types are
String, Array, List, Queue, Stack, Class, Interface, etc.
Primitive Vs Non-primitive Data Types
Primitive Data Type Non-primitive Data Type
These are built-in data types These are created by the users
Does not support additional methods Support additional methods
Always has a value It can be null
Starts with lower-case letter Starts with upper-case letter
Size depends on the data type Same size for all
11
Java Variables
A variable is a named memory location used to store a data value. A variable can be defined as a
container that holds a data value.
In java, we use the following syntax to create variables.
Syntax
data_type variable_name;
(or)
data_type variable_name_1, variable_name_2,...;
(or)
data_type variable_name = value;
(or)
data_type variable_name_1 = value, variable_name_2 = value,...;
In java programming language variables are clasiffied as follows.
1) Local variables
2) Instance variables or Member variables or Global variables
3) Static variables or Class variables
4) Final variables
Local variables
 The variables declared inside a method or a block are known as local variables.
 A local variable is visible within the method in which it is declared.
 The local variable is created when execution control enters into the method or block and
destroyed after the method or block execution completed.
Instance variables or member variables
 The variables declared inside a class and outside any method, constructor or block are known as
instance variables or member variables.
 These variables are visible to all the methods of the class.
 The changes made to these variables by method affects all the methods in the class.
 These variables are created separate copy for every object of that class.
Static variables or Class variables

 A static variable is a variable that declared using static keyword.
 The instance variables can be static variables but local variables can not.
 Static variables are initialized only once, at the start of the program execution.
 The static variable only has one copy per class irrespective of how many objects we create.
12
//java program to illustrate static variable in java.
public class StaticVariablesExample
{
int x, y; // Instance variables
static int z; // Static variable
StaticVariablesExample(int x, int y){

this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
public void show() {

int a; // Local variables
System.out.println("Inside show method,");
System.out.println("x = " + x + ", y = " + y + ", z = " + z);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {

StaticVariablesExample obj_1 = new StaticVariablesExample(10, 20);
StaticVariablesExample obj_2 = new StaticVariablesExample(100, 200);
obj_1.show();
StaticVariablesExample.z = 1000;
obj_2.show();
}
}
final variables
 A final variable is a variable that declared using final keyword.

 The final variable is initialized only once, and does not allow any method to change it's value
again.
 The variable created using final keyword acts as constant.
 All variables like local, instance, and static variables can be final variables.
// java program to illustrate final variable in java.
public class FinalVariableExample

{
final int a = 10;
void show()
{
System.out.println("a = " + a);
a = 20; //Error due to final variable cann't be modified
}
13
FinalVariableExample obj = new FinalVariableExample();
obj.show();
}
}
Arrays
 An array is a collection of similar data values with a single name.
 An array can also be defined as, a special type of variable that holds multiple values of the
same data type at a time.
 In java, arrays are objects and they are created dynamically using new operator.
 Every array in java is organized using index values. The index value of an array starts with '0'
and ends with 'zise-1'.
 We use the index value to access individual elements of an array.
In java, there are two types of arrays and they are as follows.
1) One Dimensional Array

2) Multi Dimensional Array
Creating an array
In the java programming language, an array must be created using new operator and with a specific
size. The size must be an integer value but not a byte, short, or long.
Syntax to create an array
data_type array_name[ ] = new data_type[size];

(or)
data_type[ ] array_name = new data_type[size];
// Example Program
public class ArrayExample

{
{
int list[] = new int[5];
list[0] = 10;
System.out.println("Value at index 0 - " + list[0]);
System.out.println("Length of the array - " + list.length);
}
}
OUTPUT
Value at index 0 - 10
Length of the array - 5
14
Looping through an array:
An entire array is accessed using either simple for statement or for-each statement.
public class ArrayDemo
{

{
String[] cars = {"Volvo", "BMW", "Ford", "Mazda"};
System.out.println("lenth of array"+cars.length);
for (int i = 0; i < cars.length; i++)
{
System.out.println(cars[i]);
}
}
}
OUTPUT
lenth of array4
Volvo
BMW
Ford
Mazda
Multidimensional Array
 Multidimensional arrays are arrays of arrays.

 To create a multidimensional array variable, specify each additional index using another set
of square brackets.
 When we create a two-dimensional array, it created with a separate index for rows and
columns.
 The individual element is accessed using the respective row index followed by the column
index.
 When an array is initialized at the time of declaration, it need not specify the size of the array
and use of the new operator.
Syntax
data_type array_name[ ][ ] = new data_type[rows][columns];
(or)
data_type[ ][ ] array_name = new data_type[rows][columns];
int matrix_a[ ][ ] = {{1, 2},{3, 4},{5, 6}};
// Java program to demonstrate Multidimensional Array
public class ArrayTwoDim

{
{
int[][] myNumbers = { {1, 2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7} };
15
System.out.println("row size:"+myNumbers.length);
for (int i = 0; i < myNumbers.length; i++)
{
System.out.println("column size: "+myNumbers[i].length);
for(int j = 0; j < myNumbers[i].length; j++)
{
System.out.print(myNumbers[i][j]+"\t");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
OUTPUT
row size:2
column size: 4
1 2 3 4
column size: 3
5 6 7
Operators
An operator is a symbol used to perform arithmetic and logical operations.
In java, operators are classified into the following four types.
 Arithmetic Operators
 Relational (or) Comparison Operators
 Logical Operators
 Assignment Operators
 Bitwise Operators
 Conditional Operators
Arithmetic Operators
 In java, arithmetic operators are used to performing basic mathematical operations like addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division, modulus, increment, decrement, etc.,
Operator Meaning
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division
% Modulus - Remainder of the Division
++ Increment
-- Decrement
16
 The addition operator can be used with numerical data types and character or string data type.
When it is used with numerical values, it performs mathematical addition and when it is used with
character or string data type values, it performs concatination (appending).
 The modulus (remainder of the division) operator is used with integer data type only
 The increment and decrement operators are used as pre-increment or pre-decrement and post-
increment or post-decrement.
 When they are used as pre, the value is get modified before it is used in the actual expresion
and when it is used as post, the value is get modified after the the actual expression evaluation.
// Java program to demonstrate Arithmetic Operators
public class ArithmeticOperators

{
{
int a = 10, b = 20, result;
System.out.println("a = " + a + ", b = " + b);
result = a + b;
System.out.println("Addition : " + a + " + " + b + " = " + result);
result = a - b;
System.out.println("Subtraction : " + a + " - " + b + " = " + result);
result = a * b;
System.out.println("Multiplucation : " + a + " * " + b + " = " + result);
result = b / a;
System.out.println("Division : " + b + " / " + a + " = " + result);
result = b % a;
System.out.println("Modulus : " + b + " % " + a + " = " + result);
result = ++a;
System.out.println("Pre-increment : ++a = " + result);
result = b--;
System.out.println("Post-decrement : b-- = " + result);
}
}
OUTPUT
a = 10, b = 20
Addition : 10 + 20 = 30
Subtraction : 10 - 20 = -10
17
Multiplucation : 10 * 20 = 200
Division : 20 / 10 = 2
Modulus : 20 % 10 = 0
Pre-increment : ++a = 11
Post-decrement : b-- = 20
Expressions
 An expression is a collection of operators and operands that represents a specific value.

 An operator is a symbol that performs tasks like arithmetic operations, logical operations, and
conditional operations, etc.
 Operands are the values on which the operators perform the task. Here operand can be a direct
value or variable or address of memory location.
Expression Types
1. Infix Expression
2. Postfix Expression
3. Prefix Expression
Infix Expression: The expression in which the operator is used between operands is called infix
expression.
Postfix Expression: The expression in which the operator is used after operands is called postfix
expression.
Prefix Expression:The expression in which the operator is used before operands is called a prefix
expression.
Control Statements
 The default execution flow of a program is a sequential order.
 Sometimes, we may want to jump from line to another line, we may want to skip a part of the
program, or sometimes we may want to execute a part of the program again and again. To solve
this problem, java provides control statements.
 The control statements are used to control the order of execution according to our requirements.
18
Types of Control Statements
1. Selection Control Statements ( Decision Making Statements )

2. Iterative Control Statements ( Looping Statements )
3. Jump Statements
Selection Control Statements
 The selection statements are also known as decision making statements or branching
statements.
 The selection statements are used to select a part of the program to be executed based on a
condition.
Java provides the following selection statements.
1. if statement
2. if-else statement
3. if-elif statement
4. nested if statement
5. switch statement
if statement
 if statement is used to test a condition and decide the execution of a block of statements based
on that condition result.
 The if statement checks, the given condition then decides the execution of a block of
statements.
 If the condition is True, then the block of statements is executed and if it is False, then the block
of statements is ignored.
19
// Java program to demonstrate If statement
public class IfDemo

{
int x = 20;
int y = 18;
if (x > y) {
System.out.println("x is greater than y");
}
}
}
Output
x is greater than y
if-else statement
 if-else statement is used to test a condition and pick the execution of a block of statements out of
two blocks based on that condition result.
 The if-else statement checks the given condition then decides which block of statements to be
executed based on the condition result.
 If the condition is True, then the true block of statements is executed and if it is False, then the
false block of statements is executed.
// Java program to demonstrate If-else statement
public class IfElseDem

{
int time = 20;
if (time < 18) {
System.out.println("Good day.");
} else {
System.out.println("Good evening.");
}
}
}
Output
Good evening.
20
Nested if statement
Writing an if statement inside another if-statement is called nested if statement.

The general syntax of the nested if-statement is as follows.
if(condition_1)
{
if(condition_2)
{
inner if-block of statements;
}
...
}
// Java program to demonstrate nested If statement
import java.util.Scanner;
public class NestedIfStatementTest

{
Scanner read = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Enter any number: ");
int num = read.nextInt();
if (num < 100) {

System.out.println("\nGiven number is below 100");
if (num % 2 == 0)
System.out.println("And it is EVEN");
else
System.out.println("And it is ODD");
} else
System.out.println("Given number is not below 100");
System.out.println("\nWe are outside the if-block!!!");
}
}
Output
Enter any number: 95

Given number is below 100
And it is ODD
We are outside the if-block!!!
if-else if statement
Writing an if-statement inside else of an if statement is called if-else-if statement.

The general syntax of the an if-else-if statement is as follows.
if (condition1)
{
// block of code to be executed if condition1 is true
21
}
else if (condition2)
{
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is true
}
else
{
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is false
}
// Java program to demonstrate If-else if statement
public class IfElseIf

{
{
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter time");
int time = s.nextInt();
if (time < 10)
{
System.out.println("Good morning.");
}
else if (time < 20)
{
System.out.println("Good day.");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Good evening.");
}
}
}
Output
Enter time
21
Enter any three numbers: Good evening.
switch statement
 Using the switch statement, one can select only one option from more number of options very
easily.
 In the switch statement, we provide a value that is to be compared with a value associated with
each option.
 Whenever the given value matches the value associated with an option, the execution starts from
that option.
 In the switch statement, every option is defined as a case.
22
Syntax
switch(expression)
{
case x: // code block
break;
case y: // code block
break;
default: // code block
}
// Java program to demonstrate If-else if statement
public class switchDemo

{
{
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a number");
int day = s.nextInt();
switch (day)
{
case 1:
System.out.println("Monday");
break;
case 2:
System.out.println("Tuesday");
break;
case 3:
System.out.println("Wednesday");
break;
case 4:
System.out.println("Thursday");
break;
case 5:
System.out.println("Friday");
break;
case 6:
System.out.println("Saturday");
break;
case 7:
System.out.println("Sunday");
break;
default:
System.out.println("Not Valid");
}
}
}
Output
Enter a number

Iterative Control Statements
 The iterative statements are also known as looping statements or repetitive statements.
 The iterative statements are used to execute a part of the program repeatedly as long as the
given condition is True.
 Using iterative statements reduces the size of the code, reduces the code complexity, makes it
more efficient, and increases the execution speed.
Java provides the following iterative statements.
1) while statement
2) do-while statement
3) for statement
4) for-each statement
while statement
 The while statement is used to execute a single statement or block of statements repeatedly as
long as the given condition is TRUE.
 The while statement is also known as Entry control looping statement since condition is tested at
beginning of the loop.
The syntax and execution flow of while statement is as follows.
variable initialization;
while (condition)
{
// code block to be executed
Modification;
}
// Java program to demonstrate while loop
class WhileTest {
int num = 1;
while(num <= 10) {

System.out.println(num);
num++;
}
System.out.println("Statement after while!");
Output
1
2
3
4
5
24
6
7
8
9
10
Statement after while!
do-while statement
 The do-while statement is used to execute a single statement or block of statements repeatedly
as long as given the condition is TRUE.
 The do-while statement is also known as the Exit control looping statement. The do-while
statement has the following syntax.
Syntax
do
{
}
while (condition);
 The loop will always be executed at least once, even if the condition is false, because the code
block is executed before the condition is tested:
// Java program to demonstrate do-while loop
public class DoWhileTest {
int num = 1;
do {
System.out.println(num);
num++;
}while(num <= 10);
System.out.println("Statement after do-while!");
Output
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
25
10
Statement after do-while!
for statement
 The for statement is used to execute a single statement or a block of statements repeatedly as
long as the given condition is TRUE. The for statement has the following syntax
Syntax
for (statement 1; statement 2; statement 3) {
 Statement 1 is executed (one time) before the execution of the code block.
 Statement 2 defines the condition for executing the code block.
 Statement 3 is executed (every time) after the code block has been executed.
 In for-statement, the execution begins with the initialization statement.
 After the initialization statement, it executes Condition. If the condition is evaluated to true, then
the block of statements executed otherwise it terminates the for-statement.
 After the block of statements execution, the modification statement gets executed, followed by
condition again.
// Java program to demonstrate for loop
class ForTest {
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

System.out.println("i = " + i);
}
System.out.println("Statement after for!");

}
Output
i=0
i=1
i=2
i=3
i=4
i=5
i=6
i=7
i=8
i=9
Statement after for!
26
for-each statement
 The Java for-each statement was introduced since Java 5.0 version.
 It provides an approach to traverse through an array or collection in Java.
 The for-each statement also known as enhanced for statement
 The for-each statement executes the block of statements for each element of the given array or
collection.
Syntax
for (type variableName : arrayName) {
// Java program to demonstrate for-each loop
public class ForEachTest

{
String[] cars = {"Volvo", "BMW", "Ford", "Mazda"};
for (String i : cars) {
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}
Output
Volvo
BMW
Ford
Mazda
Jump Statements
The java programming language supports jump statements that used to transfer execution control from
one line to another line.
The java programming language provides the following jump statements.
 break statement
 continue statement
 labelled break and continue statements
 return statement
break statement
 The break statement in java is used to terminate a switch or looping statement.
27
 That means the break statement is used to come out of a switch statement and a looping
statement like while, do-while, for, and for-each.
 Using the break statement outside the switch or loop statement is not allowed.
// Java program to demonstrate break statement
class JavaBreakStatement
{
{
int list[] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};
for(int i : list)
{
if(i == 30)
break;
}
}
}
Output
10
20
continue statement
 The continue statement is used to move the execution control to the beginning of the looping
statement.
 When the continue statement is encountered in a looping statement, the execution control skips
the rest of the statements in the looping block and directly jumps to the beginning of the loop.
 The continue statement can be used with looping statements like while, do-while, for, and for-
each.
 When we use continue statement with while and do-while statements, the execution control
directly jumps to the condition.
 When we use continue statement with for statement the execution control directly jumps to the
modification portion (increment/decrement/any modification) of the for loop
// Java program to demonstrate continue statement
class ContinueStatement {
int list[] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};
for(int i : list) {
if(i == 30)
continue;
}
28
}
}
Output
10
20
40
50
Labelled break and continue statement
 The java programming langauge does not support goto statement, alternatively, the break and
continue statements can be used with label.
 The labelled break statement terminates the block with specified label. The labbeled contonue
statement takes the execution control to the beginning of a loop with specified label.
// Java program to demonstrate labeled break and continue statement
// Java program to demonstrate labeled break and continue statement
class JavaLabelledStatement {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner read = new Scanner(System.in);
reading: for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
System.out.print("Enter a even number: ");
int value = read.nextInt();
verify: if (value % 2 == 0) {
System.out.println("\nYou won!!!");
System.out.println("Your score is " + i*10 + " out of 30.");
break reading;
} else {
System.out.println("\nSorry try again!!!");
System.out.println("You left with " + (3-i) + " more options...");
continue reading;
}
}
}
}
Output
Enter a even number

Sorry try again!!!
You left with " + (3-i) + " more options...
Enter a even number
You won!!!
Your score is 20 out of 30
return statement
 return statement is useful to terminate a method and come back to the calling method.
29
 return statement in main method terminates the application.
 return statement can be used to return some value from a method to a calling method
Syntax:
return;
(or)
return value; // value may be of any type
// Java program to demonstrate return statement
class ReturnDemo {
public static void main(String args[]) {
boolean t = true;
System.out.println (“Before the return”);
if (t)
return;
System.out.println (“This won‟t execute”);
}
}
Output
Before the return
Java Classes
 Java is an object-oriented programming language, so everything in java program must be based
on the object concept.
 In a java programming language, the class concept defines the skeleton of an object.
 The java class is a template of an object.
 The class defines the blueprint of an object.
 Every class in java forms a new data type.
 Once a class got created, we can generate as many objects as we want.
 Every class defines the properties and behaviors of an object.
 All the objects of a class have the same properties and behaviors that were defined in the class.
Every class of java programming language has the following characteristics.
 Identity - It is the name given to the class.

 State - Represents data values that are associated with an object.
 Behavior - Represents actions can be performed by an object.
Look at the following picture to understand the class and object concept
30
Class
 In java, we use the keyword class to create a class. A class in java contains properties as
variables and behaviors as methods. Following is the syntax of class in the java.
 The ClassName must begin with an alphabet, and the Upper-case letter is preferred.
 The ClassName must follow all naming rules.
Syntax
class <ClassName>
{
data members declaration;
methods defination;
}
Object
 An Object is a real time entity.

 An object is an instance of a class. Instance means physically happening. An object will have
some properties and it can perform some actions.
 When an object of a class is created, the class is said to be instantiated.
 All the objects that are created using a single class have the same properties and methods. But
the value of properties is different for every object.
 Object contains variables and methods. The objects which exhibit similar properties and actions
are grouped under one class.
 “To give a real world analogy, a house is constructed according to a specification. Here, the
specification is a blueprint that represents a class, and the constructed house represents the
object”.
Syntax
<ClassName> <objectName> = new <ClassName>( );

Student s = new Student ();
31
Now we can access the properties and methods of a class by using object with dot operator as:
s.rollNo, s.name, s.display ()
String Handling
 In Java, string is basically an object that represents sequence of char values.
 An array of characters works same as Java string.
 A String represents group of characters
Creating Strings:
 We can declare a String variable and directly store a String literal using assignment operator.
String str = "Hello";

 We can create String object using new operator with some data.
String s1 = new String ("Java");
 We can create a String by using character array also.
char arr[] = { 'p','r','o',‟g‟,‟r‟,‟a‟,‟m‟};
 We can create a String by passing array name to it, as:
String s2 = new String (arr);
 We can create a String by passing array name and specifying which characters we need:
String s3 = new String (str, 2, 3);
 Here starting from 2nd character a total of 3 characters are copied into String s3.

StringBuffer
 We can divide objects broadly as mutable and immutable objects.

 Mutable objects are those objects whose contents can be modified.
 Immutable objects are those objects, once created can not be modified.
 String objects are immutable.
 The methods that directly manipulate data of the object are not available in String class.
 StringBuffer objects are mutable, so they can be modified.
Creating StringBuffer
 We can create a StringBuffer object by using new operator and pass the string to the object,
as:
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer ("Kiran");
 We can create a StringBuffer object by first allotting memory to the StringBuffer object
using new operator and later storing the String into it as:
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer (30);

 In general a StringBuffer object will be created with a default capacity of 16 characters.
 Even if we declare the capacity as 30, it is possible to store more than 30 characters into StringBuffer.
// Java program using StringBuffer class methods
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class Mutable {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
// to accept data from keyboard
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));
System.out.print("Enter sur name : ");
String sur=br.readLine( );
System.out.print("Enter mid name : ");
34
String mid=br.readLine ( );
System.out.print("Enter last name : ");
String last=br.readLine( );
// create String Buffer object
StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer( );
// append sur, last to sb
sb.append(sur);
sb.append(last);
//insert mid after sur
int n=sur.length ( );
sb.insert(n, mid);
//display full name
System.out.println ("Full name = "+sb);
System.out.println ("In reverse ="+sb.reverse ( ));
}
}
Output
Enter sur name : Azaad

Enter mid name : Chandra
Enter last name : Shekar
Full name = AzaadChandraShekar
In reverse =rakehSardnahCdaazA
Inheritance
Inheritance Concept:
 The process of acquiring the properties of one class to another class is called as Inheritance.
 The inheritance is a very useful and powerful concept of object-oriented programming.
 In java, using the inheritance concept, we can use the existing features of one class in another
class.
 The inheritance provides a greate advantage called code re-usability.
 With the help of code re-usability, the commonly used code in an application need not be written
again and again.
 The Parent class is the class which provides features to another class. The parent class is also
known as Base class or Superclass.
 The Child class is the class which receives features from another class. The child class is also
known as the Derived Class or Subclass.
 In the inheritance, the child class acquires the features from its parent class. But the parent class
never acquires the features from its child class.
35
There are five types of inheritances, and they are as follows.
1. Simple Inheritance (or) Single Inheritance

2. Multiple Inheritance
3. Multi-Level Inheritance
4. Hierarchical Inheritance
5. Hybrid Inheritance
Creating Child Class in java
 In java, we use the keyword extends to create a child class. The following syntax used to create
a child class in java.
 In a java programming language, a class extends only one class. Extending multiple classes is
not allowed in java.
Syntax
Class <ChildClassName> extends <ParentClassName>

{
...
//Implementation of child class
...
36
}
1. Single Inheritance
In this type of inheritance, one child class derives from one parent class.
// Java program to demonstrate Single Inheritance
class ParentClass{
int a;
void setData(int a) {
this.a = a;
}
}
class ChildClass extends ParentClass{
void showData() {
System.out.println("Value of a is " + a);
}
}
public class SingleInheritance {
ChildClass obj = new ChildClass();

obj.setData(100);
obj.showData();
}
OUTPUT
Value of a is 100
2. Multi-level Inheritance
In this type of inheritance, the child class derives from a class which already derived from another class.
// Java program to demonstrate Multilevel Inheritance
class ParentClass{
int a;
this.a = a;
}
}
void showData() {
}
}
class ChildChildClass extends ChildClass{
void display() {
System.out.println("Inside ChildChildClass!");
}
}
37
class MultipleInheritance {
ChildChildClass obj = new ChildChildClass();

obj.setData(100);
obj.showData();
obj.display();
}
}
OUTPUT
Value of a is 100
Inside ChildChildClass!
3. Hierarchical Inheritance
In this type of inheritance, two or more child classes derive from one parent class.
// Java program to demonstrate Hierarchical Inheritance
class ParentClass{
int a;
this.a = a;
}
}
void showData() {
System.out.println("Inside ChildClass!");
}
}
class ChildClassToo extends ParentClass{
void display() {
System.out.println("Inside ChildClassToo!");
}
}
class HierarchicalInheritance {
ChildClass child_obj = new ChildClass();

child_obj.setData(100);
child_obj.showData();
ChildClassToo childToo_obj = new ChildClassToo();

childToo_obj.setData(200);
childToo_obj.display();
}
OUTPUT
38
Inside ChildClass!
Value of a is 100
Inside ChildClassToo!
Value of a is 200
4. Hybrid Inheritance
The hybrid inheritance is the combination of more than one type of inheritance.
Access Modifiers( Member Access)
In Java, the access specifiers (also known as access modifiers) used to restrict the scope or
accessibility of a class, constructor, variable, method or data member of class and interface.
There are four access specifiers, and their list is below.
1. default (or) no modifier

2. public
3. protected
4. private
 The default members are accessible within the same package but not outside the package.
 The public members can be accessed everywhere.
 The protected members are accessible to every child class (same package or other
packages).
 The private members can be accessed only inside the same class.
// Java program to demonstrate Access Modifiers
class ParentClass {
int a = 10;
public int b = 20;
protected int c = 30;
private int d = 40;
void showData() {
System.out.println("Inside ParentClass");
System.out.println(" ");
System.out.println("default member a = " + a);
System.out.println("public member b = " + b);
System.out.println("protected member c = " + c);
System.out.println("private member d = " + d);
}
}
class ChildClass extends ParentClass {
void accessData() {
System.out.println("Inside ChildClass");
System.out.println("default member a = " + a);
System.out.println("public member b = " + b);
System.out.println("protected member c = " + c);
//System.out.println("d = " + d); // private member can't be accessed
39
}
}
class AccessModifiersExample {

obj.showData();
obj.accessData();
}
}
OUTPUT
Inside ParentClass
default member a = 10
public member b = 20
protected member c = 30
private member d = 40
Inside ChildClass
default member a = 10
public member b = 20
protected member c = 30
Constructors
 A constructor is similar to a method that initializes the instance variables of a class.
 A constructor name and classname must be same.
 A constructor may have or may not have parameters. Parameters are local variables to
 receive data.
 A constructor does not return any value, not even void.
 A constructor without any parameters is called default constructor.
e.g. class Student
{
int rollNo;
String name;
Student ()
{
rollNo = 101;
name = “Kiran”;
}
}
 A constructor with one or more parameters is called parameterized constructor.
e.g.
class Student
{ int rollNo;
String name;
Student (int r, String n)
{
rollNo = r;
name = n;
}
}
40
 A constructor is called and executed at the time of creating an object.
 A constructor is called only once per object.
 Default constructor is used to initialize every object with same data where as parameterized
constructor is used to initialize each object with different data.
 If no constructor is written in a class then java compiler will provide default values.
 The parameterized constructor of parent class must be called explicitly using
the super keyword.
// Java program to initialize student details using default constructor and display the same.
class Student
{
int rollNo;
String name;
Student ()
{
rollNo = 101;
name = "Suresh";
}
void display ()
{
System.out.println ("Student Roll Number is: " + rollNo);
System.out.println ("Student Name is: " + name);
}
}
class StudentDemo
{
{
Student s1 = new Student ();
System.out.println ("s1 object contains: ");
s1.display ();
Student s2 = new Student ();
System.out.println ("s2 object contains: ");
s2.display ();
}
}
OUTPUT
s1 object contains:
Student Roll Number is: 101
Student Name is: Suresh
s2 object contains:
// Java program to initialize student details using Parameterized constructor and display the
same.
class Student
{
int rollNo;
String name;
Student (int r, String n)
41
{
rollNo = r;
name = n;
}
void display ()
{
System.out.println ("Student Roll Number is: " + rollNo);
System.out.println ("Student Name is: " + name);
}
}
class StudentDemo
{
{
Student s1 = new Student (101, “Suresh”);
System.out.println (“s1 object contains: “ );
s1.display ();
Student s2 = new Student (102, “Ramesh”);
System.out.println (“s2 object contains: “ );
s2.display ();
}
}
OUTPUT
s1 object contains:
s2 object contains:
Student Name is: Ramesh
super keyword
 In java, super is a keyword used to refers to the parent class object.
 The super keyword came into existence to solve the naming conflicts in the inheritance.
 When both parent class and child class have members with the same name, then the super
keyword is used to refer to the parent class version.
 the super keyword is used for the following purposes.
 To refer parent class data members as: super.variable

 To refer parent class methods as: super.method ()
 To call parent class constructor as: super (values)
 The super keyword is used inside the child class only.
// super to refer parent class data members
When both parent class and child class have data members with the same name, then the super
keyword is used to refer to the parent class data member from child class.
class ParentClass
{
42
int num = 10;

}
int num = 20;
void showData() {
System.out.println("Inside the ChildClass");
System.out.println("ChildClass num = " + num);
System.out.println("ParentClass num = " + super.num);
}
}
public class SuperKeywordExample

{

{
obj.showData();
System.out.println("\nInside the non-child class");

System.out.println("ChildClass num = " + obj.num);
//System.out.println("ParentClass num = " + super.num); //super can't be used here
}
OUTPUT
Inside the ChildClass

ChildClass num = 20
ParentClass num = 10
Inside the non-child class

ChildClass num = 20
// super to call parent class method
When both parent class and child class have method with the same name, then the super keyword is
used to refer to the parent class method from child class.
class ParentClass
{
int num1 = 10;
void showData()
{
43
System.out.println("\nInside the ParentClass showData method");
System.out.println("ChildClass num = " + num1);
}
}
class ChildClass extends ParentClass

{
int num2 = 20;
void showData()
{
System.out.println("\nInside the ChildClass showData method");
System.out.println("ChildClass num = " + num2);
super.showData();
}
}
class SuperKeywordExample
{
{
obj.showData();
//super.showData(); // super can't be used here
}
}
OUTPUT
Inside the ChildClass showData method
ChildClass num = 20
Inside the ParentClass showData method

ChildClass num = 10
// super to call parent class constructor
When an object of child class is created, it automatically calls the parent class default-constructor before
it's own. But, the parameterized constructor of parent class must be called explicitly using
the super keyword inside the child class constructor.
class ParentClass
{
int num1;
ParentClass()
{
System.out.println("\nInside the ParentClass default constructor");
num1 = 10;
}
ParentClass(int value)
{
System.out.println("\nInside the ParentClass parameterized constructor");
num1 = value;
}
}

To call the parameterized constructor of the parent class, the super keyword must be the first statement inside
the child class constructor, and we must pass the parameter values.
OUTPUT
Inside the ParentClass parameterized constructor
Inside the ChildClass constructor
“final” keyword
 final keyword before a class prevents inheritance.
e.g.: final class A
class B extends A //invalid
 final keyword before a method prevents overriding.
 final keyword before a variable makes that variable as a constant.
e.g.: final double PI = 3.14159; //PI is a constant.
final with variables
 When a variable defined with the final keyword, it becomes a constant, and it does not allow us
to modify the value.
 The variable defined with the final keyword allows only a one-time assignment, once a value
assigned to it, never allows us to change it again.
public class FinalVariableExample

{
{
final int a = 10;
System.out.println("a = " + a);
a = 100; // Can't be modified
}
}
OUTPUT
Main.java:9: error: cannot assign a value to final variable a
a = 100; // Can't be modified
45
final with methods

 When a method defined with the final keyword, it does not allow it to override.
 The final method extends to the child class, but the child class can not override or re-define it.
 It must be used as it has implemented in the parent class.
class ParentClass
{
int num = 10;
final void showData()
{
System.out.println("Inside ParentClass showData() method");
System.out.println("num = " + num);
}
}

{
void showData()
{
System.out.println("Inside ChildClass showData() method");
}
}
class FinalKeywordExample
{

{
obj.showData();
}
}
OUTPUT
Main.java:13: error: showData() in ChildClass cannot override showData() in ParentClass
void showData()
overridden method is final
final with class
When a class defined with final keyword, it can not be extended by any other class.
final class ParentClass
{
int num = 10;
void showData()
{
}
}

{
46
class FinalKeywordExample
{
{
}
}
OUTPUT
Main.java:11: error: cannot inherit from final ParentClass
Polymorphism
The polymorphism is the process of defining same method with different implementation. That means
creating multiple methods with different behaviors.
In java, polymorphism implemented using method overloading and method overriding.
Ad hoc polymorphism
 The ad hoc polymorphism is a technique used to define the same method with different
implementations and different arguments.
 In a java programming language, ad hoc polymorphism carried out with a method overloading
concept.
 In ad hoc polymorphism the method binding happens at the time of compilation.
 Ad hoc polymorphism is also known as compile-time polymorphism.
 Every function call binded with the respective overloaded method based on the arguments.
 The ad hoc polymorphism implemented within the class only.
import java.util.Arrays;
class AdHocPolymorphismExample
{
void sorting(int[] list)
{
Arrays.parallelSort(list);
System.out.println("Integers after sort: " + Arrays.toString(list) );
}
void sorting(String[] names)
{
Arrays.parallelSort(names);
System.out.println("Names after sort: " + Arrays.toString(names) );
}

{
AdHocPolymorphismExample obj = new AdHocPolymorphismExample();
int list[] = {2, 3, 1, 5, 4};
obj.sorting(list); // Calling with integer array
String[] names = {"rama", "raja", "shyam", "seeta"};
obj.sorting(names); // Calling with String array
47
}
}
OUTPUT
Integers after sort: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Names after sort: [raja, rama, seeta, shyam]
Pure polymorphism
 The pure polymorphism is a technique used to define the same method with the same arguments
but different implementations.
 In a java programming language, pure polymorphism carried out with a method overriding
concept.
 In pure polymorphism, the method binding happens at run time. Pure polymorphism is also
known as run-time polymorphism.
 Every function call binding with the respective overridden method based on the object reference.
 When a child class has a definition for a member function of the parent class, the parent class
function is said to be overridden.
 The pure polymorphism implemented in the inheritance concept only.
class ParentClass
{
int num = 10;
void showData()
{
}
}
void showData()
{
System.out.println("Inside ChildClass showData() method");
}
}
class PurePolymorphism
{
{
ParentClass obj = new ParentClass();
obj.showData();
obj = new ChildClass();
obj.showData();
}
}
48
OUTPUT
Inside ParentClass showData() method
num = 10
Inside ChildClass showData() method
num = 10
Method Overriding
 The method overriding is the process of re-defining a method in a child class that is already
defined in the parent class.
 When both parent and child classes have the same method, then that method is said to be the
overriding method.
 The method overriding enables the child class to change the implementation of the method which
aquired from parent class according to its requirement.
 In the case of the method overriding, the method binding happens at run time.
 The method binding which happens at run time is known as late binding. So, the method
overriding follows late binding.
 The method overriding is also known as dynamic method dispatch or run time
polymorphism or pure polymorphism.
class Animal
{
void move()
{
System.out.println ("Animals can move");
}
}
class Dog extends Animal
{
void move()
{
System.out.println ("Dogs can walk and run");
}
}
class OverRide
{
{
Animal a = new Animal (); // Animal reference and object
Animal b = new Dog (); // Animal reference but Dog object
a.move (); // runs the method in Animal class
b.move (); //Runs the method in Dog class
}
}
OUTPUT
Animals can move

Dogs can walk and run
49
Abstract Class
 A method with method body is called concrete method. In general any class will have all
concrete methods.
 A method without method body is called abstract method.
 A class that contains abstract method is called abstract class.
 A class prefixed with abstract keyword is known as an abstract class.
 In java, an abstract class may contain abstract methods (methods without implementation) and
also non-abstract methods (methods with implementation).
 An abstract class is a class with zero or more abstract methods
 ·An abstract class contains instance variables & concrete methods in addition to abstract
 methods.
 It is not possible to create objects to abstract class.
 But we can create a reference of abstract class type.
 All the abstract methods of the abstract class should be implemented in its sub classes.
 If any method is not implemented, then that sub class should be declared as „abstract‟.
 Abstract class reference can be used to refer to the objects of its sub classes.
 Abstract class references cannot refer to the individual methods of sub classes.
 A class cannot be both „abstract‟ & „final‟.
e.g.: final abstract class A // invalid
// Example program for abstract class.
abstract class Figure

{
double dim1;
double dim2;
Figure (double a, double b)
{
dim1 = a;
dim2 = b;
}
abstract double area (); // area is now an abstract method
}
class Rectangle extends Figure
{
Rectangle (double a, double b)
{
super (a, b);
}
double area () // override area for rectangle
{
System.out.println ("Inside Area of Rectangle.");
return dim1 * dim2;
}
}
class Triangle extends Figure
{
Triangle (double a, double b)
{
super (a, b);
}
double area() // override area for right triangle
{
System.out.println ("Inside Area of Triangle.");
50
return dim1 * dim2 / 2;
}
}
public class AbstractArea {
{
// Figure f = new Figure(10, 10); // illegal now
//Rectangle r = new Rectangle(9, 5);
Figure r = new Rectangle(9, 5);
Figure t = new Triangle(10, 8);
System.out.println("Area of reactangle is " + r.area());
System.out.println("Area of triangle is " + t.area());
}
}
OUTPUT
Area of a circle is : 326.68559999999997

Volume of a circle is : 64.056
Object Class
 In java, the Object class is the super most class of any class hierarchy. The Object class in the
java programming language is present inside the java.lang package.
 Every class in the java programming language is a subclass of Object class by default.
 The Object class is useful when you want to refer to any object whose type you don't know.
Because it is the super class of all other classes in java, it can refer to any type of object.
Methods of Object class
Method Description Return Value

getClass() Returns Class class object Object
hashCode() returns the hashcode number for object being used. int
equals(Object obj) compares the argument object to calling object. boolean
clone() Compares two strings, ignoring case int
concat(String) Creates copy of invoking object object
toString() returns the string representation of invoking object. String
notify() wakes up a thread, waiting on invoking object's monitor. void
notifyAll() wakes up all the threads, waiting on invoking object's monitor. void
wait() causes the current thread to wait, until another thread notifies. void
causes the current thread to wait for the specified milliseconds

wait(long,int) void
and nanoseconds, until another thread notifies.
51
It is invoked by the garbage collector before an object is being
finalize() void
garbage collected.
Forms of Inheritance
The inheritance concept used for the number of purposes in the java programming language. One of the
main purposes is substitutability. The substitutability means that when a child class acquires properties
from its parent class, the object of the parent class may be substituted with the child class object. For
example, if B is a child class of A, anywhere we expect an instance of A we can use an instance of B.
The substitutability can achieve using inheritance, whether using extends or implements keywords.
The following are the different forms of inheritance in java.
 Specialization
 Specification
 Construction
 Extension
 Limitation
 Combination
Specialization
It is the most ideal form of inheritance. The subclass is a special case of the parent class. It holds the
principle of substitutability.
Specification
This is another commonly used form of inheritance. In this form of inheritance, the parent class just
specifies which methods should be available to the child class but doesn't implement them. The java
provides concepts like abstract and interfaces to support this form of inheritance. It holds the principle of
substitutability.
Construction
This is another form of inheritance where the child class may change the behavior defined by the parent
class (overriding). It does not hold the principle of substitutability.
Extension
This is another form of inheritance where the child class may add its new properties. It holds the
principle of substitutability.
Limitation
This is another form of inheritance where the subclass restricts the inherited behavior. It does not hold
the principle of substitutability.
Combination
This is another form of inheritance where the subclass inherits properties from multiple parent classes.
Java does not support multiple inheritance type.
52
Benefits and Costs of Inheritance
The inheritance is the core and more useful concept Object Oriented Programming. With inheritance, we
will be able to override the methods of the base class so that the meaningful implementation of the base
class method can be designed in the derived class. An inheritance leads to less development and
maintenance costs. Vides lot of benefits and few of them are listed below.
Benefits of Inheritance
 Inheritance helps in code reuse. The child class may use the code defined in the parent class
without re-writing it.
 Inheritance can save time and effort as the main code need not be written again.
 Inheritance provides a clear model structure which is easy to understand.
 An inheritance leads to less development and maintenance costs.
 With inheritance, we will be able to override the methods of the base class so that the meaningful
implementation of the base class method can be designed in the derived class. An inheritance
leads to less development and maintenance costs.
 In inheritance base class can decide to keep some data private so that it cannot be altered by the
derived class.
Costs of Inheritance
 Inheritance decreases the execution speed due to the increased time and effort it takes, the
program to jump through all the levels of overloaded classes.
 Inheritance makes the two classes (base and inherited class) get tightly coupled. This means
one cannot be used independently of each other.
 The changes made in the parent class will affect the behavior of child class too.
 The overuse of inheritance makes the program more complex.
Limitations of Inheritance
 Main disadvantage of using inheritance is that the two classes (parent and child class) gets
tightly coupled. This means that if we change code of parent class, it will affect to all the child
classes which is inheriting/deriving the parent class, and hence, it cannot be independent of each
other.
 Inherited functions work slower than normal function as there is indirection.
 Improper use of inheritance may lead to wrong solutions.
 Often, data members in the base class are left unused which may lead to memory wastage.
 Inheritance increases the coupling between base class and derived class.
