Object-Oriented

Programming (OOP)
Welcome to the world of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)! In this
presentation, we'll delve into the concepts of instance and class fields,
exploring how they define the characteristics and behaviors of objects within
a class. We'll also learn how to create, initialize, and display these fields using
objects.

Understanding Instance and
Class Fields

1 Instance Fields 2 Class Fields


Instance fields represent the Class fields, also known as
unique data associated with static fields, belong to the
each individual object of a class itself, not individual
class. They store values instances. They hold data
specific to each instance, shared across all objects
making them distinct from created from that class.

Defining Instance Fields
Data Type Field Name Access Modifiers
Each instance field must be declared Choose meaningful and descriptive Access modifiers control the visibility

Initializing Instance Fields

1 In-Line Initialization
Assign values to instance fields directly within the class
definition, when the field is declared.

2 Constructor Initialization
Use the constructor of the class to assign values to instance
fields when an object is created.

3 Method Initialization
Initialize instance fields within methods of the class,
providing flexibility based on specific conditions or
calculations.

Initializing Class Fields

1 In-Line Initialization
Assign values to class fields directly within the class

2 Static Initializer Block


Use a static initializer block to initialize class fields,
providing flexibility for complex initialization logic.

3 Method Initialization
Initialize class fields within static methods of the class,
providing flexibility based on specific conditions or
calculations.

Creating Objects and
Initializing Fields
Object Creation

1 Use the 'new' keyword to create an object from a class,


allocating memory for its instance fields.

Instance Field Initialization

2 Values assigned to instance fields through constructors or in-


line initialization become unique to each object.

Class Field Access

3 Access and modify class fields using the class name and the
dot operator, as they are shared across all objects.
Displaying Field Values

reference.fieldName eField = value

Class Field ClassName.fieldNa ClassName.classFiel
