OOPs_Java_Notes

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Java is a paradigm that uses objects to encapsulate data and methods. The four pillars of OOP are encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism, each with specific implementations in Java. Key concepts include classes, objects, constructors, access modifiers, and the use of keywords like 'final' and 'static' for managing behavior and memory.

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Java: Class Notes

1. Introduction to OOP

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects",

which can contain data and code. Data is in the form of fields (also known as attributes),

and code is in the form of procedures (methods).

2. Four Pillars of OOP

- Encapsulation: Wrapping data (variables) and code (methods) together as a single unit. Access

modifiers help achieve it.

- Abstraction: Hiding complex implementation details and showing only the necessary features.

Achieved using abstract classes and interfaces.

- Inheritance: One class inherits properties and behaviors from another class.

- Polymorphism: One interface, many implementations. Includes:

- Compile-time (method overloading)

- Run-time (method overriding)

3. Key OOP Concepts in Java

- Class: Blueprint for creating objects.

class Car {

String color;

void drive() {

System.out.println("Car is driving");

}
- Object: Instance of a class.

Car myCar = new Car();

myCar.drive();

- Constructor:

Car(String c) {

color = c;

- Access Modifiers: public, private, protected, default

- this keyword: Refers to the current object.

- super keyword: Refers to the immediate parent class.

4. Inheritance Example

class Animal {

void sound() {

System.out.println("Animal sound");

class Dog extends Animal {

void sound() {

System.out.println("Bark");

5. Abstraction Example

abstract class Shape {


abstract void draw();

class Circle extends Shape {

void draw() {

System.out.println("Drawing Circle");

6. Interface Example

interface Drawable {

void draw();

class Rectangle implements Drawable {

public void draw() {

System.out.println("Drawing Rectangle");

7. Polymorphism Example

Shape s = new Circle(); // run-time polymorphism

s.draw();

8. Final Keyword

- final class: Cannot be extended.

- final method: Cannot be overridden.

- final variable: Value cannot be changed.


9. Static Keyword

Used for memory management. Static members belong to the class, not to instances.

Conclusion:

OOP in Java allows better code organization, reuse, and maintainability by modeling real-world

entities into classes and objects.
