🔥 Java OOP Crash Guide – Exam Survival Sheet

Use this for last-minute revision. Simple, fast, and clean.

🔹 Inheritance
💡 What: One class gets features from another class.

📦 Code Example:

class Animal { void eat() { } } class Dog extends Animal { }

🧠 Remember: Dog gets eat() from Animal

🔹 super keyword
💡 What: Used to call parent class constructor or variable.

📦 Code Example:

super.i = 10;

🧠 Remember: super = parent access

🔹 Constructor Execution
💡 What: Parent constructor runs before child.

📦 Code Example:

class A { A() { } } class B extends A { B() { } }

🧠 Remember: Parent builds first

🔹 Types of Inheritance
💡 What: Single, Multilevel, Hierarchical.

📦 Code Example:

class A {}
class B extends A {}
class C extends B {}

🧠 Remember: Multilevel = A → B → C

🔹 Method Overriding
💡 What: Child changes parent method behavior.
📦 Code Example:

class A { void show() {} } class B extends A { void show() {} }

🧠 Remember: Same method, new rules

🔹 Polymorphism
💡 What: Same call behaves differently for different objects.

📦 Code Example:

A obj = new B(); obj.show();

🧠 Remember: One call, many results

🔹 Dynamic Dispatch
💡 What: Decides at runtime which method to run.

📦 Code Example:

A obj = new B(); obj.show();

🧠 Remember: Runtime method decision

🔹 Abstract Class
💡 What: Cannot be instantiated. Contains abstract methods.

📦 Code Example:

abstract class A { abstract void run(); }

🧠 Remember: Half-done class

🔹 final Keyword
💡 What: Prevents override or inheritance.

📦 Code Example:

final class A {} final void show() {}

🧠 Remember: Freeze this – no change

🔹 Object Class
💡 What: Top class of all Java classes.

📦 Code Example:
obj.toString();

🧠 Remember: Base of all classes

🔹 Interface
💡 What: List of methods to implement. No bodies.

📦 Code Example:

interface A { void show(); }

🧠 Remember: Must-do list

🔹 Default Interface Method


💡 What: Optional method with body (Java 8+).

📦 Code Example:

default void greet() { }

🧠 Remember: Optional ready method

🔹 Static Interface Method


💡 What: Called with InterfaceName.method().

📦 Code Example:

static void help() { }

🧠 Remember: InterfaceName.method()

🔹 Private Interface Method


💡 What: Helper method for reuse (Java 9+).

📦 Code Example:

private void helper() { }

🧠 Remember: Only for use inside interface
