CO - IF - 22412 - CO1: Date: 05 February 2021 Learning at Your Doorstep

The document is a lesson on creating classes and objects in Java. It defines a class as a template for objects and explains that objects are instances of classes. It provides three key steps for creating objects: 1) Declaring an object variable, 2) Instantiating an object using the "new" operator, and 3) Initializing an object by calling a constructor. The document also explains how to define a class and access class members using dot notation. The overall purpose is to teach students the basic concepts and syntax for defining classes and creating objects in Java.

► Creating Object and Class

Page 7 Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education


Defining a Class:

 user defined data type.


 Once a new data type is defined using a class, it can be used to create objects of that type.
 A class is a template for an object and object is an instance of a class.
 Classes create objects and objects use methods to communicate between them.
Syntax:
class classname [ extends superclassname]
{
[ fields declaration; ]
[ methods declaration; ] Example:
} class rectangle
{
int length, width; //declaration of variables
void getdata(int x, int y) //definition of method
{
length = x;
width = y;
}

Object:

 It is a basic unit of Object-Oriented Programming and represents the real life entities.
 Object consists of following elements:
State: It is represented by attributes of an object. It also reflects the properties of an object.
Behavior: It is represented by methods of an object. It also reflects the response of an object with
other objects.
Identity: It gives a unique name to an object and enables one object to interact with other objects.

Creating Objects:

 Steps for creating objects:


A. Declaring an object:
 Also called instantiating a class.
 When an object of a class is created, the class is said to be instantiated.
 Declaring a variable to hold an object is just like declaring a variable to hold a value of primitive
type.
 Declaration does not create new objects. It is simply variable that can refer to an object.
 For example: Rectangle rect1;

Creating Objects:

 Steps for creating objects:


B. Instantiating an object:
 Creating an object is also referred to as instantiating an object.
 Objects in java are created using the new operator.
 The new operator creates an object of the specified class and returns a reference to that
object.
 For example: Rectangle rect1 = new Rectangle ();
 Assigns the object reference to the variable. The variable rect1 is now an object of the
rectangle class.

Creating Objects:

 Steps for creating objects:


C. Initializing an object:
 Classes provide constructor methods to initialize a new object of that type.
 A class may provide multiple constructors to perform different kinds of initialization on new
objects.
 For example: Rectangle rect1=new Rectangle (10, 20);

Page 12 Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education


Accessing Class Members:

 We can access Class members by using dot operators.

Syntax:
objectname . variablename = value;
objectname . methodname (parameterlist);

Example:
rect1.length=10;
rect1.width=20;

//creating an object
Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle();

//calling the method using the object


r1.getdata(10,20);
