Java & JEE Training
Object Oriented Programming with Java
- Basic Class Demo

Naming Conventions
Name Convention
class name should start with uppercase letter and be a noun e.g.
String, Color, Button, System, Thread etc.
interface name should start with uppercase letter and be an adjective
e.g. Runnable, Remote, ActionListener etc.
method name should start with lowercase letter and be a verb e.g.
actionPerformed(), main(), print(), println() etc.
variable name should start with lowercase letter e.g. firstName,
orderNumber etc.
package name should be in lowercase letter e.g. java, lang, sql, util
etc.
constants name should be in uppercase letter. e.g. RED, YELLOW,
MAX_PRIORITY etc.

Object and Class in Java - Demo
A basic example of a class:
class Student1{
int id;//data member (also instance variable)
String name;//data member(also instance variable)
public static void main(String args[]){
Student1 s1=new Student1();//creating an object of Student
System.out.println(s1.id);
System.out.println(s1.name);
}
}

Another Example of Objects and Classes in Java
class Student2{
int rollno;
String name;
void insertRecord(int r, String n){ //method
rollno=r;
name=n;
}
void displayInformation(){System.out.println(rollno+" "+name);}//method
Student2 s1=new Student2();
s1.insertRecord(111,"Karan");
s2.insertRecord(222,"Aryan");
s1.displayInformation();
s2.displayInformation();
}
}

Memory Allocation

Java & JEE Training
Method Overloading

Method Overloading
• If a class have multiple methods by same name but different parameters.
• Advantage: Increases readability of the program.
• Two ways:
oBy changing number of arguments
oBy changing the data type

Method Overloading: Changing number of arguments
class Calculation{
void sum(int a,int b){System.out.println(a+b);}
void sum(int a,int b,int c){System.out.println(a+b+c);}
Calculation obj=new Calculation();
obj.sum(10,10,10);
obj.sum(20,20);
}
}

Method overloading: Changing data type of argument
class Calculation2{
void sum(int a,int b){System.out.println(a+b);}
void sum(double a,double b){System.out.println(a+b);}
Calculation2 obj=new Calculation2();
obj.sum(10.5,10.5);
obj.sum(20,20);
}
}

Method overloading: Can it be done by
changing return type of methods?
class Calculation3{
int sum(int a,int b){System.out.println(a+b);}
double sum(int a,int b){System.out.println(a+b);}
Calculation3 obj=new Calculation3();
int result=obj.sum(20,20);
/* Compile Time Error; Here how can java determine which
sum() method should be called */
}
}
//

Method Overloading: Can we overload main() method?
class Overloading1{
public static void main(int a){
System.out.println(a);
}
System.out.println("main() method invoked");
main(10);
}
}

Method Overloading and Type Promotion
One type is promoted to another implicitly if no matching datatype is found
class OverloadingCalculation1{
void sum(int a,long b){System.out.println(a+b);}
void sum(int a,int b,int c){System.out.println(a+b+c);}
OverloadingCalculation1 obj=new OverloadingCalculation1();
obj.sum(20,20);//now second int literal will be promoted to long
obj.sum(20,20,20);
}
}

Method overloading: Ambiguous code
class OverloadingCalculation3{
void sum(int a,long b){System.out.println("a method invoked");}
void sum(long a,int b){System.out.println("b method invoked");}
OverloadingCalculation3 obj=new OverloadingCalculation3();
obj.sum(20,20);//now ambiguity; Compile time error.
}
}

Constructors
• Constructor in java is a special type of method that is used to initialize the
object.
• Java constructor is invoked at the time of object creation.
• Two rules:
oConstructor name must be same as its class name
oConstructor must have no explicit return type
oIf there is no constructor in a class, compiler automatically creates a
default constructor.

Java & JEE Training
Constructors

Example of default constructor that displays the default values
class Student3{
int id;
String name;
void display(){
System.out.println(id+" "+name);
}
s1.display();
s2.display();
}
}

Example of parameterized constructor
class Student4{
int id;
String name;
Student4(int i,String n){ //Paremeterized Constructor
id = i;
name = n;
}
void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}
Student4 s1 = new Student4(111,"Karan");
Student4 s2 = new Student4(222,"Aryan");
s1.display();
s2.display();
}
}

Example of Constructor Overloading
class Student5{
int id;
String name;
int age;
Student5(int i,String n){
id = i;
name = n;
}
Student5(int i,String n,int a){
id = i;
name = n;
age=a;
}
void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name+" "+age);}
Student5 s2 = new Student5(222,"Aryan",25);
s1.display();
s2.display();
}
}

Constructor vs Method
Java Constructor Java Method
Constructor is used to initialize the
state of an object.
Method is used to expose behaviour
of an object.
Constructor must not have return
type.
Method must have return type.
Constructor is invoked implicitly. Method is invoked explicitly.
The java compiler provides a default
constructor if you don't have any
constructor.
Method is not provided by compiler
in any case.
Constructor name must be same as
the class name.
Method name may or may not be
same as class name.

Constructor Example: Used for cloning
class Student6{
int id;
String name;
Student6(int i, String n){
id = i;
name = n;
}
Student6(Student6 s){
id = s.id;
name =s.name;
}
Student6 s2 = new Student6(s1);
s1.display();
s2.display();
}
}

Point to ponder…
Does constructor return any value?

Java & JEE Training
”Static”

Java “Static”
• The static keyword in java is used for memory management mainly.
• We can apply java static keyword with variables, methods, blocks and
nested class.
• The static keyword belongs to the class than instance of the class.
• The static can be:
ovariable (also known as class variable)
omethod (also known as class method)
oblock
onested class

Java Static Variable
• If you declare any variable as static, it is known static variable.
• The static variable can be used to refer the common property of all objects
(that is not unique for each object) e.g. company name of employees,
college name of students etc.
• The static variable gets memory only once in class area at the time of class
loading.
• Advantage:
It makes your program memory efficient

Example: Problem without static variable
class Student{
int rollno;
String name;
String college="ITS";
}

Example: Static Variable solution
class Student8{
int rollno;
String name;
static String college ="ITS";
Student8(int r,String n){
rollno = r;
name = n;
}
void display (){System.out.println(rollno+" "+name+" "+college);}
s1.display();
s2.display();
}
}

Static Variable Memory Allocation

Example: Counter with static variable
class Counter2{
static int count=0;//will get memory only once and retain its value
Counter2(){
count++;
System.out.println(count);
}
Counter2 c1=new Counter2();
}
}

Java Static Method
• A static method belongs to the class rather than object of a class.
• A static method can be invoked without the need for creating an instance
of a class.
• static method can access static data member and can change the value of
it.
• There are two main restrictions for the static method. They are:
oThe static method can not use non static data member or call non-static
method directly.
othis and super cannot be used in static context.

Static Method Example
class Student9{
int rollno;
String name;
static String college = "ITS";
static void change(){
college = "BBDIT";
}
Student9(int r, String n){
rollno = r;
name = n;
}
void display (){System.out.println(rollno+" "+name+" "+college);}
Student9.change();
Student9 s1 = new Student9 (111,"Karan");
Student9 s2 = new Student9 (222,"Aryan");
Student9 s3 = new Student9 (333,"Sonoo");
s1.display();
s2.display();
s3.display();
}
}

Example of static method that performs normal calculation
//Program to get cube of a given number by static method
class Calculate{
static int cube(int x){
return x*x*x;
}
int result=Calculate.cube(5);
System.out.println(result);
}
}

What is the output?
class A{
int a=40;//non static
System.out.println(a);
}
}

Point to ponder
• Why is main() method static?

Java Static Block
• Is used to initialize the static data member.
• It is executed before main method at the time of classloading.
class A2{
static{System.out.println("static block is invoked");}
System.out.println("Hello main");
}
}

“this” keyword
• In java, this is a reference variable that refers to the current object.
• Uses:
• this keyword can be used to refer current class instance variable.
• this() can be used to invoke current class constructor.
• this keyword can be used to invoke current class method (implicitly)
• this can be passed as an argument in the method call.
• this can be passed as argument in the constructor call.
• this keyword can also be used to return the current class instance.

What’s the problem with the below code?
class Student10{
int id;
String name;
Student10(int id,String name){
id = id;
name = name;
}
s1.display();
s2.display();
}
}

Solution:
//example of this keyword
class Student11{
int id;
String name;
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}
s1.display();
s2.display();
}
}
Note: If local variables(formal arguments) and instance variables are different, there is no need to use this
keyword like in the following program:

this() for invoking current class constructor: Constructor Chaining
//Program of this() constructor call (constructor chaining)
class Student13{
int id;
String name;
Student13(){System.out.println("default constructor is invoked");}
this ();//it is used to invoked current class constructor.
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}
Student13 e1 = new Student13(111,"karan");
Student13 e2 = new Student13(222,"Aryan");
e1.display();
e2.display();
}
}
Rule: Call to this() must be the first statement in constructor.

this keyword can be used to invoke current class method (explicitly)
class S{
void m(){
System.out.println("method is invoked");
}
void n(){
this.m();//no need because compiler does it for you.
}
void p(){
n();//complier will add this to invoke n() method as this.n()
}
S s1 = new S();
s1.p();
}
}

this keyword can be passed as an argument in the method
class S2{
void m(S2 obj){
System.out.println("method is invoked");
}
void p(){
m(this);
}
S2 s1 = new S2();
s1.p();
}
}

What is the output? What does the below code do?
class A5{
void m(){
System.out.println(this);//prints same reference ID
}
A5 obj=new A5();
System.out.println(obj);//prints the reference ID
obj.m();
}
}
