Lecture – 4

Class and Object in JAVA

Darwin Vargas
Prof
Contents
• Class and Object in Java

• UML notations for class

Class and Objects

Classes and Objects

• Classes and Objects are basic concepts of Object Oriented Programming


which revolve around the real life entities.

• Everything in OOP is associated with classes and objects.

• A Class is like an object constructor, or a "blueprint" for creating objects.

4
1. Class
• A class is a user defined blueprint or prototype from which objects are created.

• It represents the set of properties or methods that are common to all objects of one
type.

• A java class can contains:

⮚ Data member/variables

⮚Method

⮚Constructor

⮚Block of Statements

⮚Class or Interface
5
*** Syntax of Creating a Class

modifiers class ClassName{


//body of the class
}

***Class Names - For all class names the first letter should be in Upper Case.

Example: public class Box { }

public class MyBox { }

6
2. Object
• A class is a template or blueprint from which objects are created. So, an object is the
instance(result) of a class.

• Object Definitions:
⮚ An object is a real-world entity.

⮚ An object is a runtime entity.

⮚ The object is an entity which has state and behavior.

⮚ The object is an instance of a class.

7
***Syntax of Creating an Object

ClassName objectName = new default_Constructor();

***Object Names - For all object names the first letter should be in lower Case.

8
Example - 1

• Create a Box Class. Each box of this class will have height and width.

• Create one object of the Box Class and display the information.

9
Solution of Example - 1:

public class Box {

int height;
int width;

public static void main(String[] args) {

Box box1 = new Box();

box1.height = 10;
box1.width = 20;

System.out.println("\nHeight of box1 = " + box1.height);


System.out.println("Width of box1 = " + box1.width);

10
Example - 2

• Create a Person Class. Each person of this class will have name and age.

• Create two objects of the Person Class, Set the values and display the
information.

11
UML: Unified Modeling Language
UML Representation of CLASS

ClassName
Instance Variables

Methods
UML representation of Class from Example - 1

Box
height: int
width: int

+ main(String[]) : void

13
Example – 3: Write a Java code from this UML

Student

- name: String
- id: int

+ main(String[]) : void

• Create two objects of the Student Class, Set the values and display the information.
14
Solution of Example - 3:

public class Student {

Student std2 = new Student();


private String name;
std2.name = "Kabir";
private int id;
std2.id = 200;
private double cgpa;
std2.cgpa = 3.8;

public static void main(String[] args)


System.out.println("\n\nName of Student -1 : "+std2.name);
{
System.out.println("ID of Student - 1 : "+std2.id);
Student std1 = new Student();
System.out.println("CGPA of Student - 1: "+std2.cgpa);
std1.name = "Abdullah";
}
std1.id = 100;
std1.cgpa = 3.5;

}
System.out.println("Name of Student -1 : "+std1.name);
System.out.println("ID of Student - 1 : "+std1.id);
System.out.println("CGPA of Student - 1: "+std1.cgpa); 15
Example – 4: Write a Java code from this UML

Department

- deptName: String
- deptCode: int
- faculty: String

+ main(String[]) : void

• Create two objects of the Department Class, Set the values and display the information.
