Oops concepts
1. Inheritance
2. Polymorphism
3. Abstraction
4. Encapsulation

Inheritance:-
1. The process of acquiring fields(variables) and methods(behaviors) from one class to another class
is called inheritance.
2. The main objective of inheritance is code extensibility whenever we are extending class
automatically the code is reused.
3. In inheritance one class giving the properties and behavior & another class is taking the
properties and behavior.
4. Inheritance is also known as is-a relationship. By using extends keyword we are achieving
inheritance concept.
5. extends keyword used to achieve inheritance & it is providing relationship between two classes
when you make relationship then able to reuse the code.
6. In java parent class is giving properties to child class and Child is acquiring properties from
Parent.
7. To reduce length of the code and redundancy of the code sun people introduced inheritance
concept.

Application code before inheritance

class A Application codeafter inheritance
{ void m1(){ } class A //parent class or super class or base
void m2(){ } {
}; void m1(){ }
class B void m2(){ }
{ void m1(){ } };
void m2(){ } class B extends A //child or sub or derived
void m3(){ } {
void m4(){ } void m3(){ }
}; void m4(){ }
class C };
{ void m1(){ } class C extends B

Note 1:-In java it is possible to create objects forboth parent and child classes.
1. If we are creating object for parent class it is possible to call only parent specific methods.
A a=new A();
a.m1();a.m2();
2. if we are creating object for child class it is possible to call parent specific and child specific.
B b=new B();
b.m1();b.m2(); b.m3();b.m4();
C c=new C();
c.m1(); c.m2(); c.m3();c.m4();c.m5();c.m6();

Types of inheritance :-
There are five types of inheritance in java
1. Single inheritance
2. Multilevel inheritance
3. Hierarchical inheritance
4. Multiple inheritance
5. Hybrid Inheritance

Single inheritance:-
 One class has one and only one direct super class is called single inheritance.
 In the absence of any other explicit super class, every class is implicitly a subclass of Object class.

Class B extends A ===>class B acquiring properties of A class.

Example:-
class Parent
{ void property(){System.out.println("money");}
};
class Child extends Parent
{ void m1() { System.out.println("m1 method"); }
public static void main(String[] args)
{ Child c = new Child();
c.property(); //parent class method executed
c.m1(); //child class method executed
}
};

Multilevel inheritance:-
One Sub class is extending Parent class then that sub class will become Parent class of next
extended class this flow is called multilevel inheritance.

Class B extends A ===> class B acquiring properties of A class

Class C extends B ===> class C acquiring properties of B class
[indirectly class C using properties of A & B classes]
Example:-
class A
{ void m1(){System.out.println("m1 method");}
};
class B extends A
{ void m2(){System.out.println("m2 method");}
};
class C extends B
{ void m3(){System.out.println("m3 method");}
public static void main(String[] args)
{ A a = new A(); a.m1();
B b = new B(); b.m1(); b.m2();;

C c = new C(); c.m1(); c.m2(); c.m3();

}
}
Hierarchical inheritance :-
More than one sub class is extending single Parent is called hierarchical inheritance.

Class B extends A ===> class B acquiring properties of A class

Class C extends A ===>class C acquiring properties of A class
Class D extends A ===>class D acquiring properties of A class

Example:-
class A
{ void m1(){System.out.println("A class");}
};
class B extends A
{ void m2(){System.out.println("B class");}
};
class C extends A
{ void m2(){System.out.println("C class");}
};
class Test
{ public static void main(String[] args)
{ B b= new B();
b.m1(); b.m2();
C c = new C();
c.m1(); c.m2();
}
};

Multiple inheritance:-
 One sub class is extending more than one super class is called Multiple inheritance and java not
supporting multiple inheritance because it is creating ambiguity problems (confusion state) .
 Java not supporting multiple inheritance hence in java one class able to extends only one class at
a time but it is not possible to extends more than one class.
Class A extends B ===>valid
Class A extends B ,C ===>invalid

Hybrid inheritance:-
 Hybrid is combination of hierarchical & multiple inheritance .
 Java is not supporting hybrid inheritance because multiple inheritance(not supported by
java) is included in hybrid inheritance.

You can prevent sub class creation by using final keyword in the parent class declaration.
final class Parent //for this class child class creation not possible because it is final.
{
};
class Child extends Parent
{
};

compilation error:- cannot inherit from final Parent

Note:-
1. Except for the Object class , a class has one direct super class.
2. a class inherit fields and methods from all its super classes whether directly or indirectly.
3. an abstract class can only be sub classed but cannot be instantiated.
4. In parent and child it is recommended to create object of Child class.
Java.lang.Object class methods :-
public class java.lang.Object {
1) public final native java/lang/Class<?> getClass();
2) public native int hashCode();
3) public boolean equals(java.lang.Object);
4) protected native java.lang.Object clone() throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException;
5) public java.lang.String toString();
6) public final native void notify();
7) public final native void notifyAll();
8) public final native void wait(long) throws java.lang.InterruptedException;
9) public final void wait(long, int) throws java.lang.InterruptedException;
10) public final void wait() throws java.lang.InterruptedException;
11. protected void finalize() throws java.lang.Throwable;}

Example :-
In java if we are extending java class that extended class will become Parent class , if we are not
extending Object class will become Parent class.
In below example
A class Parent is ----> Object
B class Parent is ---->A
C class Parent is ---->B
class A

{ void m1(){} };
class B extends A
{ void m2(){} };
class C extends B
{ void m3(){} };
In above example A class Parent is Object class
Object class contains ---->11 methods
A class contains ---->12 methods
B class contains ---->13 methods
C class contains ---->14 methods
Instanceof operator:-
 It is used check the type of the object and return Boolean value as a return value.
Syntax:- reference-variable instanceof class-name;
Example:- Test t=new Test();
t instanceof Test
 Whenever we are using instanceof operator the reference variable and class-name must have
some relationship either [parent to child] or [child-parent] otherwise compiler generates error
message “inconvertible types”
 If the relationship is
o Child – parent returns true
o Parent - child returns false
Example :-
class Animal{ };
class Dog extends Animal{ };
class Test
{ public static void main(String[] args)
{ //syntax: (ref-ver instanceof class-name);
String str="ratan";
Animal a = new Animal();
Dog d = new Dog();
Object o = new Object();
System.out.println(a instanceof Object); //true [child-parent]
System.out.println(d instanceof Animal); //true [child-parent]
System.out.println(str instanceof Object); //true [child-parent]
System.out.println(o instanceof Animal); //false [parent-child]
System.out.println(a instanceof Dog); //false [parent-child]
//no relationship compilation error :inconvertible types
//System.out.println(str instanceof Animal);
}
}
Association:-
 Class A uses class B
 When one object wants another object to perform services for it.
 Relationship between teacher and student, number of students associated with one teacher or
one student can associate with number of teachers. But there is no ownership and both objects
have their own life cycles.

Aggregation:-
 Class A has instance of class B.
 Class A can exists without presence of class B . a university can exists without chancellor.
 Take the relationship between teacher and department. A teacher may belongs to multiple
departments hence teacher is a part of multiple departments but if we delete department object
teacher object will not destroy.
Example -1:-
//Teacher.java
class Teacher
{ //instance variables
String tname,sub;
Teacher(String tname,String sub)//local variables
{ //conversion
this.tname=tname; this.sub=sub;

Composition :-
 Class A owns class B , it is a strong type of aggregation. There is no meaning of child without
parent.
 Order consists of list of items without order no meaning of items. or bank account consists of
transaction history without bank account no meaning of transaction history or without student
class no meaning of marks class.
 Let’s take Example house contains multiple rooms, if we delete house object no meaning of room
object hence the room object cannot exists without house object.
 Relationship between question and answer, if there is no meaning of answer without question
object hence the answer object cannot exist without question objects.
 Relationship between student and marks, there is no meaning of marks object without student
object.
Example :-

Example-2:-
nIside the constructor super keyword must be first statement otherwise compiler generate error

Example-3:-
Inside the constructor this keyword must be first statement and super keyword must be first statement

Note:-
1. Every class in the java programming either directly or indirectly child class of Object.
2. Root class for all java classes is Object class.
3. The object class present in java.lang package

Polymorphism:-
 One thing can exhibits more than one form is called polymorphism.
 Polymorphism shows some functionality(method name same) with different logics execution.
 The ability to appear in more forms is called polymorphism.
 Polymorphism is a Greek word poly means many and morphism means forms.
There are two types of polymorphism in java
1) Compile time polymorphism / static binding / early binding
[method execution decided at compilation time]
Example :- method overloading.
2) Runtime polymorphism /dynamic binding /late binding.
[Method execution decided at runtime].
Example :- method overriding.

Compile time polymorphism [Method Overloading]:-

1) If java class allows two methods with same name but different number of arguments such
type of methods are called overloaded methods.
2) We can overload the methods in two ways in java language
a. By passing different number of arguments to the same methods.
void m1(int a){}
void m1(int a,int b){}
b. Provide the same number of arguments with different data types.
void m1(int a){}
void m1(char ch){}
3) If we want achieve overloading concept one class is enough.
4) It is possible to overload any number of methods in single java class.
Types of overloading:-

 JAVA Means DURGA SOFT

a. Method overloading explicitly by the programmer

b. Constructor overloading
c. Operator overloading implicitly by the JVM(‘+’ addition& concatenation)

Method overloading:-
Example:-
class Test
{ //below three methods are overloaded methods.
void m1(char ch) {System.out.println(" char-arg constructor "); }
void m1(int i) {System.out.println("int-arg constructor "); }
void m1(int i,int j) {System.out.println(i+j); }
public static void main(String[] args)
{Test t=new Test();
//three methods execution decided at compilation time
t.m1('a');t.m1(10);t.m1(10,20);
}
}
Example :- overloaded methods vs. all data types
class Test
{ void m1(byte a) { System.out.println("Byte value-->"+a); }
void m1(short a) { System.out.println("short value-->"+a); }
void m1(int a) { System.out.println("int value-->"+a); }
void m1(long a) { System.out.println("long value is-->"+a); }
void m1(float f) { System.out.println("float value is-->"+f); }
void m1(double d) { System.out.println("double value is-->"+d); }
void m1(char ch) { System.out.println("character value is-->"+ch); }
void m1(boolean b) { System.out.println("boolean value is-->"+b); }
void sum(int a,int b)
{ System.out.println("int arguments method");
System.out.println(a+b);
}
void sum(long a,long b)
{ System.out.println("long arguments method");
System.out.println(a+b);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Test t=new Test();
t.m1((byte)10); t.m1((short)20); t.m1(30); t.m1(40);
t.m1(10.6f); t.m1(20.5); t.m1('a'); t.m1(true);
t.sum(10,20);
t.sum(100L,200L);
}
}
Constructor Overloading:-
The class contains more than one constructors with same name but different arguments is called
constructor overloading.

class Test
{ //overloaded constructors
Test() { System.out.println("0-arg constructor"); }
Test(int i) { System.out.println("int argument constructor"); }
Test(char ch,int i){ System.out.println(ch+"-----"+i); }
public static void main(String[] args)
{ Test t1=new Test(); //zero argument constructor executed.
Test t2=new Test(10); // one argument constructor executed.
Test t3=new Test('a',100);//two argument constructor executed.
}
}
Operator overloading:-
 One operator with different behavior is called Operator overloading .
 Java is not supporting operator overloading but only one overloaded in java language is ‘+’.
o If both operands are integer + perform addition.
o If at least one operand is String then + perform concatenation.
Example:-
class Test
{ public static void main(String[] args)
{ int a=10;
int b=20;
System.out.println(a+b); //30 [addition]
System.out.println(a+"ratan"); //10Ratan [concatenation]

}
}
Runtime polymorphism [Method Overriding]:-
1) If we want to achieve method overriding we need two class with parent and child
relationship.
2) The parent class method contains some implementation (logics).
a. If child is satisfied use parent class method.
b. If the child class not satisfied (required own implementation) then override the
method in Child class.
3) A subclass has the same method as declared in the super class it is known as method
overriding.
The parent class method is called ===> overridden method
The child class method is called ===> overriding method
While overriding methods must fallow these rules:-
1) While overriding child class method signature & parent class method signatures must be same
otherwise we are getting compilation error.
2) The return types of overridden method & overriding method must be same.
3) While overriding the methods it is possible to maintains same level permission or increasing
order but not decreasing order, if you are trying to reduce the permission compiler generates
error message “attempting to assign weaker access privileges ”.
4) You are unable to override final methods. (Final methods are preventing overriding).
5) While overriding check the covariant-return types.
6) Static methods are bounded with class hence we are unable to override static methods.

 JAVA Means DURGA SOFT

7) It is not possible to override private methods because these methods are specific to class.

If a subclass defines a static method with the same signature as a static method in the superclass, then the
method in the subclass hides the one in the superclass.

class Animal
{ void instanceMethod(){System.out.println("instance method in Animal");}
static void staticMethod(){System.out.println("static method in Animal");}
};
class Dog extends Animal
{ void instanceMethod(){System.out.println("instance method in Dog");}//overriding
static void staticMethod(){System.out.println("static method in Dog");}//hiding
public static void main(String[ ] args)
{ Animal a = new Dog();
a.instanceMethod();
a.staticMethod(); // [or] Animal.instanceMethod();
}
};

 The version of the overridden instance method that gets invoked is the one in the subclass.
 The version of the hidden static method that gets invoked depends on whether it is invoked from the
superclass or the subclass.

The Cat class overrides the instance method in Animal and hides the static method in Animal.
The main method in this class creates an instance of Cat and invokestestClassMethod() on the class
and testInstanceMethod() on the instance.

Example-1 :-method Overriding

class Parent //parent class
{ void property() {System.out.println("money+land+hhouse");}
void marry() {System.out.println("black girl"); }//overridden method
};
class Child extends Parent//child class
{ void marry() {System.out.println("white girl/red girl");} //overriding method
public static void main(String[] args)
{ Child c=new Child();
c.property(); c.marry();
Parent p=new Parent();
p.property(); p.marry();

};
Covariant return types :-
Example 1:-
in below example overriding is not possible because overridden method return type &
overriding method return types are not matched.
class Parent
{ void m1(){}
};
class Child extends Parent
{int m1(){}
};
Compilation error:- m1() in Child cannot override m1() in Parent
return type int is not compatible with void
Example-2:-
1) Before java 5 version it is not possible to override the methods by changing it’s return types .
2) From java5 versions onwardsjava supports support covariant return types it means while
overriding it is possible to change the return types of parent class method(overridden method)
&child class method(Overriding).
3) The return type of overriding method is must be sub-type of overridden method return type this
is called covariant return types.
class Animal
{ void m2(){System.out.println("Animal class m2() method");}
Animal m1()
{ return new Animal();
}
}
class Dog extends Animal
{ Dog m1()
{ return new Dog();
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{ Dog d = new Dog(); d.m2();
Dog d1 = d.m1(); //[d.m1() returns Dog object]
d1.m2();
Animal a = new Animal();
a.m2();
Animal a1 = a.m1(); // [a.m1() returns Animal object]
a1.m2();
}
};

Type-casting:-
The process of converting data one type to another type is called type casting.
There are two types of type casting
1. Implicit typecasting /widening/up casting
2. Explicit type-casting (narrowing)/do

When we assign higher value to lower data type range then compiler will rise compiler error “possible
loss of precision” but whenever we are type casting higher data type-lower data type compiler won’t
generate error message but we will loss the data.

Implicit-typecasting:- (widening) or (up casting)

1. When we assign lower data type value to higher data type that typecasting is called up- casting.
2. When we perform up casting data no data loss.
3. It is also known as up-casting or widening.
4. Compiler is responsible to perform implicit typecasting.

Explicit type-casting:- (Narrowing) or (down casting)

1. When we assign a higher data type value to lower data type that type-casting is called down
casting.
2. When we perform down casting data will be loss.
3. It is also known as narrowing or down casting.
4. User is responsible to perform explicit typecasting.

Note :- Parent class reference variable is able to hold child class object but Child class reference
variable is unable to hold parent class object.

//target-type variable-name=(target-type)source-type;

Parent p = new Child();

}
}
Example-2:-
 In java parent class reference variable is able to hold Child class object but Child class reference
variable unable to hold Parent class object.
o Parent p = new Child(); ---->valid
o Child c = new Parent(); ---->invalid
class Parent
{ void m1(){System.out.println("parent m1 method");} //overridden method
}
class Child extends Parent
{ void m1(){System.out.println("child m1 method");} //override method
void m2(){System.out.println("child m2 method");} //direct method of child class
public static void main(String[] args)
{
//parent class is able to hold child class object
Parent p1 = new Child(); //creates object of Child class
p1.m1(); //child m1() will be executed
//p1.m2(); Compilation error we are unable to call m2() method
Child c1 =(Child)p1; //type casting parent reference variable to child object.
c1.m1();
c1.m2();
}
};
 In above example parent class is able to hold child class object but when you call p.m1();
method compiler is checking m1() method in parent class at compilation time. But at runtime
child object is created hence Child method will be executed.
 Based on above point decide in above method execution decided at runtime hence it is a runtime
polymorphism.
 When you call p.m2 (); compileris checking m2 () method in parent class since not there so
compiler generate error message. Finally it is not possible to call child class m2 () by using parent
reference variable even thought child object is created.
 Based on above point we can say by using parent reference it is possible to call only overriding
methods (m1 () ) of child class but it is not possible to call direct method(m2() ) of child class.
 To overcome above limitation to call child class method perform typecasting.

Example :- importance of converting parent class reference variable into child class object
//let assume predefined class
class ActionForm
{ void xxx(){} //predefined method
void yyy(){} //predefined method
};
class LoginForm extends ActionForm //assume to create LoginForm our class must extends ActonForm

toString():-
 toString() method present in Object and it is printing String representation of Object.
 toString() method return type is String object it means toString() method is returning
String object.
 The toString() method is overridden some classes check the below implementation.
o In String class toString() is overridden to return content of String object.
o In StingBuffer class toString() is overridden to returns content of StringBuffer
class.
o In Wrapper classes(Integer,Byte,Character…etc) toString is overridden to returns
content of Wrapper classes.
internal implementation:-
class Object
{ public String toString()
{ return getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode());
}
};
Example:-
Note :- whenever you are printing reference variable internally toString() method is called.
Test t = new Test(); //creates object of Test class reference variable is “t”
//the below two lines are same.
System.out.println(t);
System.out.println(t.toString());
class Test
{ public static void main(String[] args)
{ Test t = new Test();
System.out.println(t);
System.out.println(t.toString()); // [Object class toString() executed]
}
};

Example -2:-
toString() method present in Object class but in our Test class we are overriding toString()
method hence our class toString() method is executed.
class Test
{ //overriding toString() method
public String toString()
{ return "ratansoft";
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{ Test t = new Test();
//below two lines are same

Student s2 = new Student("anu",222);

//below two lines are same

Final modifier:-
1) Final is the modifier applicable for classes, methods and variables (for all instance,
Static and local variables).
Case 1:-
1) if a class is declared as final, then we cannot inherit that class it means we cannot create child
class for that final class.
2) Every method present inside a final class is always final but every variable present inside the
final class not be final variable.
Example :-
final class Parent //parent is final class child class creation not possible
{ };
class Child extends Parent //compilation error
{ };

Example :-
Note :- Every method present inside a final class is always final but every variable present inside the
final class not be final variable.

{ int a=10; //not a final variable
void m1() //final method
{ System.out.println("m1 method is final");
a=a+100;
System.out.println(a); //110
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{ Test t=new Test();
t.m1();
}
}
Case 2:-
If a method declared as a final we can not override that method in child class.
Example :-
class Parent
{ final void marry(){} //overridden method is final
};
class Child extends Parent
{ void marry(){} //overriding method
};
Compilation Error:- marry() in Child cannot override marry() in Parent
overridden method is final

Case 3:-
1) If a variable declared as a final we can not reassign that variable if we are trying to reassign
compiler generate error message.
2) For the local variables only one modifier is applicable that is final.
Example:-
class Test
{ public static void main(String[] args)
{ final int a=100;//local variables
a = a+100; // [compilation error because trying to reassignment]

Advantage of final modifier :-

 The main advantage of final modifier is we can achieve security as no one can be allowed to
change our implementation.
Disadvantage of final modifier:-
But the main disadvantage of final keyword is we are missing key benefits of Oops like
inheritance and polymorphism. Hence is there is no specific requirement never recommended to
use final modifier.

Garbage Collector

 Garbage collector is destroying the useless object and it is a part of the JVM.
 To make eligible objects to the garbage collector
Example-1 :-
Whenever we are assigning null constants to our objects then objects are eligible for
GC(garbage collector)
class Test
{ public static void main(String[] args)
{ Test t1=new Test();
Test t2=new Test();
System.out.println(t1);
System.out.println(t2);
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
t1=null; //t1 object is eligible for Garbage collector
t2=null; //t2 object is eligible for Garbage Collector
System.out.println(t1);
System.out.println(t2);
}
};
Example-2 :-
Whenever we reassign the reference variable the objects are automatically eligible for
garbage collector.
class Test
{ public static void main(String[] args)
{ Test t1=new Test();
Test t2=new Test();
System.out.println(t1);
System.out.println(t2);
t1=t2; //reassign reference variable then one object is destroyed.
System.out.println(t1);
System.out.println(t2);
}
};
Example -3:-
Whenever we are creating objects inside the methods one method is completed the objects
are eligible for garbage collector.
class Test
{ void m1()
{ Test t1=new Test();
Test t2=new Test();
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{ Test t=new Test();
t.m1();

Abstraction:-
There are two types of methods in java
a. Normal methods
b. Abstract methods

Normal methods:- (component method/concrete method)

Normal method is a method which contains method declaration as well as method
implementation.
Example:-
void m1() --->method declaration
{ body; --->method implementation
}
Abstract methods:-
1) The method which is having only method declaration but not method implementations such
type of methods are called abstract Methods.
2) In java every abstract method must end with “;”.
Example : - abstract void m1 (); ---- method declaration

Based on above representation of methods the classes are divided into two types
1) Normal classes.
2) Abstract classes.

Normal classes:-
Normal class is a ordinary java class it contains only normal methods if we are trying to declare at least
one abstract method that class will become abstract class.
Example:-
class Test //normal class
{ void m1(){body;} //normal method
void m2(){body;} //normal method
void m3(){body;}//normal method
};
Abstract class:-
Abstract class is a javaclass which contains at least one abstract method(wrong definition).

If any abstract method inside the class that class must be abstract.
Example 1:- Example-2:-
class Test //abstract class class Test //abstract class
{ {
void m1(){}//normal method abstract void m1();//abstract method
void m2(){}//normal method abstract void m2();//abstract method
void m3();//abstract method abstractvoid m3();//abstract method
}; };

Abstract modifier:-
 Abstract modifier is applicable for methods and classes but not for variables.
 To represent particular class is abstract class and particular method is abstract method to the
compiler use abstract modifier.
 The abstract class contains declaration of methods it says abstract class partially implement
class hence for partially implemented classes object creation is not possible. If we are trying to
create object of abstract class compiler generate error message “class is abstract con not be
instantiated”

Example -1:-
 Abstract classes are partially implemented classes hence object creation is not possible.
 For the abstract classes object creation not possible, if you are trying to create object compiler will
generate error message.

{ abstract void m1(); //abstract method
abstract void m2(); //abstract method
abstract void m3(); //abstract method
void m4(){System.out.println("m4 method");} //normal method

Compilation error:- Test is abstract; cannot be instantiated

Example-2 :-
 Abstract class contains abstract methods for that abstract methods provide the
implementation in child classes.
 Provide the implementations is nothing but override the methods in child classes.
 The abstract class contains declarations but for that declarations implementation is present in
child classes.

abstract class Test

{ abstract void m1();
abstract void m2();
abstract void m3();
void m4(){System.out.println("m4 method");}
};
class Test1 extends Test
{ void m1(){System.out.println("m1 method");}
void m2(){System.out.println("m2 method");}
void m3(){System.out.println("m3 method");}

{ Test1 t = new Test1();
t.m1(); t.m2(); t.m3(); t.m4();

Test t1 = new Test1(); //abstract class reference variable Child class object

t1.m2(); //compile : Test runtime : Test1
t1.m3() ; //compile : Test runtime : Test1
t1.m4() ; //compile : Test runtime : Test1
}
};

Example -3 :-
 Abstract class contains abstract methods for that abstract methods provide the
implementation in child classes.
 if the child class is unable to provide the implementation of all parent class abstract methods
at that situation declare that class with abstractmodifier then take one more child class to
complete the implementation of remaining abstract methods.
 It is possible to declare multiple child classes but at final complete the implementation of all
methods.

Example-8:-
 Constructor is used to create object (wrong definition).
 Constructor is executed during object creation to initialize values to instance variables.
 Constructors are used to write the write the functionality that functionality executed during
object creation.
 There are multiple ways to crate object in java but if we are crating object by using “new” then
only constructor executed.
Note :- in below example abstract class constructor is executed but object is not created.

Example-9:-the abstract class allows zero number of abstract method.

Definition of abstract class:-
Abstract class may contains abstract methods or may not contains abstract methods but
object creation is not possible. The below example contains zero number of abstract methods.
Ex:- HttpServlet (doesn’t contains abstract methods still it is abstract object creation not possible )
abstract class Test
{ void cm() { System.out.println("ratan"); }
void pm() { System.out.println("anushka"); }
public static void main(String[] args)
{ Test t = new Test();
t.cm(); t.pm();
}
};
Test.java:6: Test is abstract; cannot be instantiated

Abstraction definition :-
 The process highlighting the set of services and hiding the internal implementation is called
abstraction.
 Bank ATM Screens Hiding the internal implementation and highlighting set of services like ,
money transfer, mobile registration,…etc).

 Syllabus copy of institute just highlighting the contents of java but implementation there in
classed rooms .
 We are achieving abstraction concept by using Abstract classes &Interfaces.
Encapsulation:-
The process of binding the data and code as a single unit is called encapsulation.
We are able to provide more encapsulation by taking the private data(variables) members.
To get and set the values from private members use getters and setters to set the data and to
get the data.
Example:-
class Encapsulation
{ private int sid;
private int sname;
//mutator methods
public void setSid(int x)
{ this.sid=sid; }
public void setSname(String sname)
{ this.sname=sname; }
//Accessor methods
public int getSid()
{ return sid; }
public String getSname()
{ return sname; }
};
To access encapsulated use fallowing code:-
class Test
{ public static void main(String[] args)
{ Encapsulation e=new Encapsulation();
e.setSid(100);
e.setSname("ratan");
System.out.println(e.getSid());
System.out.println(e.getSname());
}
};

Main Method:-

Public static void main(String[] args)

Public ---To provide access permission to the jvm declare main with public.
Static ---To provide direct access permission to the jvm declare main is static(with out
creation of object able to access main method)
Void --- don’t return any values to the JVM.
String[] args --- used to take command line arguments(the arguments passed from
command prompt)
String --- it is possible to take any type of argument.
[] ---represent possible to take any number of arguments.
Modifications on main():-
1) Modifiers order is not important it means it is possible to take public static or static
public .
Example :- public static void main(String[] args)
static public void main(String[] args)
2) the fallowing declarations are valid
string[] args String []args String args[]
Example:- static public void main(String[] args)
static public void main(String []args)
static public void main(String args[])
3) instead of args it is possible to takeany variable name (a,b,c,… etc)
Example:- static public void main(String... ratan)
static public void main(String... a)
static public void main(String... anushka)
4) for 1.5 version insted of String[] argsit is possible to take String… args(only three dots
represent variable argument )
Example:- static public void main(String... args)
5) the applicable modifiers on main method.
a. public b. static c. final d.strictfp e.synchronized
in above five modifiers public and static mandatory remaining three modifiers optional.
Example :- public static final strictfp synchronized void main(String... anushka)

Which of the fallowing declarations are valid:-

1. public static void main(String... a) --->valid
2. final strictfp static void mian(String[] Sravya) --->invalid
3. static public void mian(String a[]) --->valid
4. final strictfp public static main(String[] rattaiah) --->invalid
5. final strictfp synchronized public static void main(String... nandu)--->valid
Example-1:-

Strictfp modifier:-
a. Strictfp is a modifier applicable for classes and methods.
b. If a method is declared as strictfp all floating point calculations in that method will
followIEEE754 standard. So that we will get platform independent results.
c. If a class is declared as stictfp then every method in that class will follow IEEE754standard so we
will get platform independent results.
Ex:- strictfp class Test{ //methods///} --->all methods fallows IEEE754
strictfp void m1(){} ---> m1() method fallows IEE754
Native modifier:-
a. Native is the modifier applicable only for methods.
b. Native method is used to represent particular method implementations there in non-java code
(other languages like C,CPP) .
c. Nativemethods are also known as “foreign methods”.
Examples:-
public final int getPriority();
public final void setName(java.lang.String);
public static native java.lang.Thread currentThread();
public static native void yield();
Command Line Arguments:-
The arguments which are passed from command prompt is called command line arguments. We
are passing command line arguments at the time program execution.
Example-1 :-
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] ratan)
{ System.out.println(ratan[0]+" "+ratan[1]);//printing command line arguments
System.out.println(ratan[0]+ratan[1]);
//conversion of String-int String-double
int a = Integer.parseInt(ratan[0]);
double d = Double.parseDouble(ratan[1]);
System.out.println(a+d);
}
