Java

Classes, Objects, Attributes, Methods, Constructors , Modifiers


Creating a class
• Create a class with a variable x

• Create an object called “myObj” and print the value of x;


Multiple Objects
• You can create multiple objects of one class.
• Create two objects of Main
Multiple Classes
• You can also create an object of a class and access it in another class.
• This is often used for better organization of classes
 one class - has all the attributes and methods
 other class - holds the main() method (code to be executed)

Main.java Second.java
Attributes
Attributes are variables within a class.
• Create a class with two attributes

• Create an object and print the value of the attributes


Modify Attributes
• Modify the value of x to 25;
Multiple Objects
• If you create multiple objects of one class, you can change the attribute values in
one object, without affecting the attribute values in the other:
• Ex. Change the value of x to 25 in myObj2, and leave x in myObj1 unchanged
Multiple Attributes
• Create attributes for first name, last name and age then display the attributes.
Methods
Methods are declared within a class, and they are used to perform certain actions.
• Create a method that will display “hello world”
Difference between static and public
methods
Static method –can be accessed without Public method – can only be accessed by
creating an object of the class objects.
Access methods with a object
Java Constructors
• Constructor is a special method that is used to initialize objects .
 Constructor name must match the class name, and it cannot have a return type.
Constructor Parameters
• Ex. Adds an int y parameter to the constructor. Inside the constructor we set x to y
(x=y). When we call the constructor, we pass a parameter to the constructor (5), which
will set the value of x to 5:
Constructor with many Parameters
Modifiers
• public keyword is an access modifier, meaning that it is used to set the access level for
classes, attributes, methods and constructors.

• We divide modifiers into two groups:


 Access Modifiers - controls the access level
 Non-Access Modifiers - do not control access level, but provides other functionality
Access modifiers
• For classes, you can use either public or default:
 public - class is accessible by any other classes
 default – class is only accessible by classes in the same package. This is used when you don’t
specify a modifier
Access modifiers
• Final : if you don't want the ability to override existing attribute values, declare
attributes as final
Static
• A static method means that it can be accessed without creating an object of the class,
unlike public:
Abstract
• An abstract method belongs to an abstract class, and it does not have a body. The body
is provided by the subclass:
