Java Class Notes – Object-Oriented Programming Basics

Description:
This file contains an easy-to-follow introduction to OOP concepts in Java: classes, objects,
encapsulation, inheritance, and abstraction. It is designed for high school or first-year CS
students.

🧱 What is Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a method of programming that organizes code using


objects and classes. Java is a fully object-oriented language (except for primitive types).

🧩 Main Principles of OOP

1. Class
A blueprint or template for creating objects.
2. Object
An instance of a class.
3. Encapsulation
Hiding the internal details of objects and exposing only what's necessary.
4. Inheritance
A mechanism where one class can inherit features (fields and methods) from another.
5. Abstraction
Showing only essential features and hiding the unnecessary details.

🏗️Example: Defining a Simple Class


java
CopyEdit
class Student {
int id;
String name;

void display() {
System.out.println("ID: " + id);
System.out.println("Name: " + name);
}
}

🧪 Creating an Object of a Class


java
CopyEdit
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Student s1 = new Student();
s1.id = 101;
s1.name = "Alice";
s1.display();
}
}

🧠 Mini Exercise

Create a class Car with:

 Properties: brand, model, year


 Method: start() prints "Car is starting..."

✅ Quick Review

Term Description
Class Blueprint of objects
Object Instance of a class
Method Function inside a class
Constructor Special method to initialize objects
