JAVA Programming Language
class , Object& methods
class
• Java is an object-oriented programming language, so everything in java
program must be based on the object concept.
• class concept defines the skeleton of an object.
• The java class is a template of an object. It defines the blueprint of an object.
• Once a class got created, we can generate as many objects as we want.
• Every class of java programming language has the following characteristics.
o Identity - It is the name given to the class.
o State - Represents data values that are associated with an object.(data)
o Behavior - Represents actions can be performed by an object.(methods)
class
• Class is a template for the object, which has own data and methods.
• Creating a Class
class ClassName
{
data members declaration;
methods defination;
}
• The ClassName must begin with an alphabet, and the Upper-case letter is
preferred.
we must follow all naming rules.
class
• Java Class
o User defined class(Sample, Add, Student…etc)
o Pre defined/built-in class(Scanner,System,Thread…etc)
Object
• An object is an instance of type class.
• When an object of a class is created, the class is said to be instantiated.
• Objects created using a single class have the same properties and
methods of that class.
• We can create any no of Object for a class
• The value of properties is different for every object
• Syntax – Object creation
• ClassName objectName= new ClassName( );
new operator allocates memory space for objects
Java Methods
• A method is a block of statements used to perform a specific task.
• A method get executed, when it is called.
• Syntax
[access Modifier] returnType methodName( [parameters] )
{
... block of statements; ...
}
We will call a method using the name of the method
• returnType - Specifies the data type of a return value.(void,int,..)
• name - Specifies a unique name to identify it.(except Keywords)
• parameters - The data values it may accept or receive.
• { } - Defines the block belongs to the method.
Example 11 – class, objects and Methods
Example 12- Methods with arguments
Example 13 – return keyword
Example 14
How Many objects created?
class Sample
{
int a;
void get(int x)
{
a=x;
System.out.println("The Value is "+a);
}
}
public class Main
{
public static void main(String a[])
{
Sample s1=new Sample();
Sample s2=new Sample();// new operator create memory space for objects
Sample s3=s2;
s1.get(10);
s2.get(20);
s3.get(30);
//System.out.println(s2.a);
}
}
class Sample
{
int a;
void get(int a)//local variable
{
a=a+a;
System.out.println("The Value is "+a);
}
}
public class Main
{
public static void main(String a[])
{
Sample s1=new Sample();
Sample s2=new Sample();
s1.get(10);
s2.get(20);
System.out.println(s1.a);
System.out.println(s2.a);
}
}
class Sample
{
int a;
void get(int a)//local variable
{
this.a=a+a;
System.out.println("The Value is "+this.a);
}
}
public class Main
{
public static void main(String a[])
{
Sample s1=new Sample();
Sample s2=new Sample();
s1.get(10);
s2.get(20);
System.out.println(s1.a);
System.out.println(s2.a);
}
}
Thank you
