Basics of OOP in Java
Classes and Objects Defining a class Creating objects Class members (fields, methods, constructors) Constructors Default constructor Parameterized constructor Constructor overloading this keyword Static and Instance Members static keyword (variables, methods, blocks) Difference between static and instance members 2. Four Pillars of OOP a) Encapsulation Data hiding using private access modifier Getters and setters Benefits of encapsulation b) Inheritance Types of inheritance in Java: Single inheritance Multilevel inheritance Hierarchical inheritance (Java does not support multiple inheritance with classes) super keyword (calling parent class constructor/methods) Method overriding c) Polymorphism Compile-time (Method Overloading) Methods with the same name but different parameters Runtime (Method Overriding) Overriding a method in a subclass @Override annotation Upcasting and Downcasting d) Abstraction Abstract classes (abstract keyword) Abstract methods Interfaces (interface keyword) Difference between abstract class and interface 3. Advanced OOP Topics Final Keyword (final with variables, methods, and classes) Access Modifiers (public, private, protected, default) Inner Classes (Nested classes, static inner classes, anonymous classes) Interfaces vs Abstract Classes Multiple Inheritance using Interfaces Object Cloning (clone() method and Cloneable interface) 4. Miscellaneous OOP Concepts this Keyword (Referring to the current object) super Keyword (Accessing parent class members) Method Overriding and Dynamic Method Dispatch Instance Initializer Blocks ({} block in a class) Composition and Aggregation (Has-a relationship)
