OOPJ Practical No-7

This document provides an overview of static methods, recursive methods, and method overloading in Java, including their definitions and examples. It includes three practical programs demonstrating the use of static variables, recursive functions, and overloaded methods for calculating areas. The examples illustrate how to implement these concepts in Java programming.

Practical No: 7

Title: Programs on static, non-static, recursive and overloaded methods


Theory:
Static methods
 A static method in Java belongs to the class rather than an instance of the class.
 static methods are declared using the static keyword before the return type.
Example:
static int max(int x, int y) //static method
{
- - - - -;
- - - - -;
}
 static methods can be accessed using the class name without creating an instance of the class.

Recursive methods
 A method that calls itself is called recursive method.
 Recursive methods must have a termination condition to avoid infinite recursion.
 A recursive method normally made of an if-else statement. This if-else statement has termination condition
to decide whether the method must be called again or it should exit from loop of calling method again and
again.

Method Overloading
 “Method which is having same name but differs- either in number of arguments or type of those arguments
called method overloading”.
 Return type does not considered at the time of method overloading.
 Method overloading is done only in same class.
 In method overloading method is called depending on number of argument or type of argument passed.
 In method overloading compiler resolves call at compile time hence it is also known as compile time
polymorphism.
Programs:
1. Program to count the number of objects made of a particular class using static variable and static
method and display the same.
public class ObjectCount
{
static int count=0;
ObjectCount()
{
count++;
}
static void display()
{
System.out.println("Number of object created: "+count);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
ObjectCount oc1=new ObjectCount();
ObjectCount oc2=new ObjectCount();

ObjectCount.display();
}
}
2. Program to find value of y using recursive function (static), where y=x^n
import java.util.*;
public class PowerCalculator
{
static double power(double x, int n)
{
if(n == 1)
return x;
else
return x * power(x, n-1);
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
double x, y;
int n;
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter value of x: ");


x = s.nextInt();

System.out.println("Enter value of n: ");


n = s.nextInt();

y = PowerCalculator.power(x, n);
System.out.println("y:= "+y);
}
}
3. Program to display area of square and rectangle using the concept of overloaded functions.
public class Shape
{
double calculate(double side) // Overloaded method for calculating area of square
{
return (side * side);
}
double calculate(double height, double width) // Overloaded method for calculating area of rectangle
{
return (height* width);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Shape s = new Shape();
double area;

area = s.calculate(4.5);
System.out.println("Area of Square: "+area);

area = s.calculate(3.5, 5.7);


System.out.println("Area of Rectangle: "+area);
}
}
