Java Object and Classes

Java Object and Classes
This lesson mainly focused on Java object and class and describes the features of Java object-oriented programming
.Java has following OOPS features:
  • Encapsulation
  • Inheritance
  • Polymorphism
  • Abstraction
  • Classes
  • Objects
  • Instance
  • Method
  • Message Parsing
In this lesson our major focus on Objects and Classes.

What is Object?

In real-world an entity that has state and its behavior is known as an object.
For Example:
  • A Car is an object. It has states (name, color, model) and its behavior (changing gear, applying brakes).
  • A Pen is an object. Its name is Parker, color is silver etc. known as its state. It is used to write, so writing is its behavior.
In real-world object and software object have conceptually similar characteristics. In terms of object-oriented programming, software objects also have a state and behavior.

What is a class?

  • A class is a template or blueprint that is used to create objects.
  • Class representation of objects and the sets of operations that can be applied to such objects.
  • A class consists of Data members and methods.
The primary purpose of a class is to hold data/information. This is achieved with attributes which are also known as data members.
The member functions determine the behavior of the class i.e. provide a definition for supporting various operations on data held in form of an object.

Defining a Class in Java

Syntax:
public class class_name
{
    Data Members;
    Methods;
}
Example:
public class Car
{
    public:
    double color; // Color of a car
    double model; // Model of a car
}
  • Private, Protected, Public is called visibility labels.
  • The members that are declared private can be accessed only from within the class.
  • Public members can be accessed from outside the class also.

Class Members

Data and functions are members.
Data Members and methods must be declared within the class definition.
Example:
public class Cube
{
    int length; // length is a data member of class Cube
    int breadth; // breadth is a data member of class Cube
    int length ; // Error redefinition of length 
}
  • A member cannot be redeclared within a class.
  • No member can be added elsewhere other than in the class definition.

Python Lists

Python Lists Dealing with data in a structured format is quiet generous, and this is possible if those data are set accordingly in a specific manner. So, Python provides these data structures named ‘lists’ and ‘tuples’ that are used to organize data in  single set. Python has 6 built-in sequences and among them the most famous are “lists and tuples”. The lists are containers that hold a number of other objects in a given order. It usually puts into practice the sequence protocol and allows programmers to add or remove objects from that sequence. Each element of the sequence is assigned a number i.e. he index and the first index is 0 (zero). This versatile data-type of Python is written in a sequence of list separated by commas between expressions. Creating Lists To build a list, just put a number of expressions in square brackets. The syntax is: Syntax: lst1 = [ ] # lst1 is the name of the list lst2 = [ expression1 , …. , expression_N ] Example: #!/usr/bin/python ls...

C++ Qualifiers and Storage Classes

C++ Qualifiers and Storage Classes Qualifiers and storage class are smaller but important programming concept that helps to make the quality of a variable more accurate for using that variable within the program. In this chapter you will learn about how qualifiers are used with variables and what the roles of different storage classes in C++ are. What is a Qualifier? A qualifier is a token added to a variable which adds an extra  quality , such as specifying volatility or constant-ness to a variable. They act like an adjective for a variable. With or without a qualifier, the variable itself still occupies the same amount of memory, and each bit has the same interpretation or contribution to the state/value. Qualifiers just specify something about how it may be accessed or where it is stored. Three qualifiers are there in C++. These are: const : This is used to define that the type is constant. volatile : his is used to define that the type is volatile. mutable:  applies to non...
