Java Classes, Methods, and Functions Overview

1. Java Classes

- A class in Java is a blueprint from which individual objects are created.

- Syntax:

public class ClassName {

// fields

// methods

- Example:

public class Car {

String color;

void drive() {

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

2. Constructors

- Special method that is called when an object is instantiated.

- Name of constructor = class name. No return type.

- Types:

a) Default constructor

b) Parameterized constructor

- Example:

public Car(String model) {

this.model = model;

3. Methods
Java Classes, Methods, and Functions Overview

- A method is a block of code which only runs when it is called.

- Syntax:

returnType methodName(parameters) {

// code

- Example:

public int add(int a, int b) {

return a + b;

4. Static Methods

- Belong to the class rather than instances.

- Can be called without creating an object.

- Example:

public static void display() {

System.out.println("Static Method");

5. Overloading and Overriding

- Method Overloading: Same method name, different parameters.

- Method Overriding: Subclass provides specific implementation of superclass method.

- Example Overload:

int add(int a, int b)

int add(int a, int b, int c)

- Example Override:

class Animal { void sound() {} }

class Dog extends Animal { void sound() { System.out.println("Bark"); } }


Java Classes, Methods, and Functions Overview

6. Common Built-in Classes

- String: string manipulation

- Math: math functions (abs, pow, sqrt)

- Scanner: user input

- ArrayList: dynamic arrays

- HashMap: key-value pair storage

- File: file operations

7. Access Modifiers

- public: accessible everywhere

- private: accessible within class only

- protected: accessible in same package or subclass

- default: accessible in same package

8. Final, Abstract and Interface

- final: constant or non-overridable

- abstract: class or method not fully implemented

- interface: blueprint for classes (all methods abstract by default)

- Example Interface:

interface Animal {

void makeSound();
