Objects are created from classes using the new keyword. An object's reference stores the memory location of the object. Variables provide identity to memory locations and allow processing information. A Java identifier follows specific rules: it must start with a letter, can include numbers and underscores, be case sensitive, and cannot be a Java keyword. A method declaration includes modifiers, a return type, name, parameters in parentheses, exceptions, and a body between curly braces.

Object:

⚫ Objects are created from a class


⚫ To create an object of a Class, specify the class name, followed
by the object/reference name, and use the keyword “new” (We
can initialize that object by using constructors).
⚫ We can create multiple objects of one class.
Note: reference is the address of the memory location where the
object is stored

Variable:
⚫ A variable provides identity to memory location ⚫
Using variables we can process the information easily ⚫
Variables can also be called as References & Identifiers
Understanding Identifier :
➢ A name in JAVA program is called identifier.
➢ It may be class name, method name, variable name.
Rules [8]:
✓ The only allowed characters in java identifiers are:
1) a to z
2) A to Z
3) 0 to 9
4) _(underscore) and $
✓ If we are using any other symbols we will get compile time error. ✓ We
can’t start a JAVA Identifier with number.
✓ Java Identifiers are case sensitive (Actually JAVA itself is a case sensitive) ✓
We can take our own length for the name of an JAVA identifier. ✓ We can’t use
JAVA language keywords (50) as identifiers.
✓No space is allowed between the characters of an identifier ✓ All
predefined JAVA class names and interface names we can use as identifiers (X)

Which of the following are valid Java Identifiers?


➢ _$_
➢ Mou$e
➢ Java4All
➢ Student@NareshIt
➢ 999aaa
➢ Display#
➢ String
➢ Byte
➢ byte
➢ Integer
➢ pro1
Understanding Separators
Separator Description

; Semicolon Terminates statements

, Comma Separates consecutive identifiers in a variable declaration.

{} Braces Define a block of code, for classes, methods and values of


arrays
() Parentheses Parameters in methods, Precedence in
expressions, Control statements

[] Brackets Declare array types, dereference array values

. Period is used to separate package, sub-packages and classes,


variable or method from reference

Understanding Java Method


• The only required elements of a method declaration are the method's return type,
method name, a pair of parentheses-(), and a body between braces - {}. • The
method declarations have six components, in order:
1. Modifiers :- such as public, private, protected and default.
2. The return type :- the data type of the value returned by the method, or void if the
method does not return a value.
3. The method name :- The rules for field names apply to method names as well 4.
The parameter list in parenthesis :- a comma is used if you are giving more than
one parameter. If there are no parameters, you must use empty parentheses. 5. An
exception list :- to be discussed later.
6. The method body, enclosed between braces :- the method's code or logic. • In
general there are two types of methods, User defined and predefined methods.
