Object-Oriented Programming Concepts

• Procedural programming – Sets of operations executed in sequence– Variables hold values– Procedures group operations in logical units

• Object-oriented programs – Create classes first– Create objects from classes when a

functionality of the class needs to be used– Object-oriented programming includes:

– Encapsulation– Inheritance– Polymorphism


6

Understanding Objects and Classes• Objects

– Made up of attributes, methods, events

• Attributes– Characteristics that define object– Value of attributes is object’s state

• Class – Describes objects with common properties– Definition – template for objects– Instance of a class – an object to use

OBJECT

• Represents something you would find in the “real-world”

• Objects can be described by their attributes(properties) and behaviors(methods)

• In Java, an object is represented by a software module, which contains a collection of related data and procedures

Object: Car

PROPERTY (or field)

• Attribute which describes the object:

• In Java, a property is represented by a variable associated with the object

Property: Color Make Year VIN

Method: Start Accelerate Turn Left Stop

METHOD

• Behavior of the object or what the object can do

• In Java, a method is represented by a public subroutine or function related to the object

State

Object: CarProperty: GasolineLevel OilLevel Speed

STATE

• The collection of an object’s property values determine its state

• The object’s state can affect its behavior

VIN: 323422344

VIN: 323422345

VIN: 323422346

Class: Car

Objects:

CLASS

• A category of objects – “abstraction” • Template for the object, also called “factory”• Allows multiple objects to have common

methods and properties • An object is an “instance” of a class

Object: CarProperties: Color GasolineLevel

Make OilLevel Model Speed

YearMethods: Stop Turn Left Start Turn Right Accelerate

Interface

INTERFACE• The set of public methods and properties

which are available to access or manipulate the object

• An object may have many interfaces

window door

roomA blueprint is the specification of aHouse. This blueprint specifies a house with room, door, and window.

CLASS : elaborate

class

object

A class is the specification from which a developer generates objects

A blueprint is the specification from which a builder generates houses

ENCAPSULATION

• Hides the internal workings of an object from the rest of the application.

• You may change Implementation while interface remains constant

• In Java properties and methods are used to get information and perform actions in an application that are hidden within classes:

you do not know how they are implemented , but can use then as “black box”

INHERITANCE: Very Important

• Ability to reuse functionality in a class.• A base class defines the common

functionality: Subclasses inherit that functionality

and may add new functionality– i.e.: A general class of Sport Car is used to

create sub-classes of Camaro and FireBird. They have many similar (re-used) features but are different cars, because they have other properties (methods) different.

Learning About Java

• Java– Developed by Sun Microsystems – Object-oriented language – Advantages :

• Simple, Distributed , Interpreted, Secure• Architecture neutral, Portable, Multithreaded

– Can be run on wide variety of computers – Runs on hypothetical computer known as

Java virtual machine (JVM)


18

Learning About Java (continued)

• Java (continued) – Can be run on wide variety of computers – Does not execute instructions on

computer directly– Runs on hypothetical computer known

as Java virtual machine (JVM)

• Source code – Programming statements written in high-

level programming language

The Java Virtual Machine – special “basic computer”

Java is platform independent. What this means is that a program written inJava should be executable in any computer with any chipset.

This is done by means of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The JVM interacts witha computer through bytecode.

Computer JVM Program


20

Java Program Types

• Applets– Programs embedded in Web page

• Java applications– Called Java stand-alone programs– Console applications

• Support character output

– GUI based applications• Menus

• Toolbars

• Dialog boxes

Java Programming Process:

• Write a specification for the program (what the program is supposed to do)

• Design the program • Choose algorithms and decide how data will be

stored , develop pseudocode and/or flowchart• Write the program (Java language, indeed!)• Compile the program (to lower-level language)• Execute the program• Debug the program• Maintenan the program in a workable condition


22

Analyzing a Java Application That Uses Console Output

• Even simplest Java application – Involves fair amount of confusing syntax

• Goal of the first application :– Print “First Java application” on screen


23

Analyzing a Java Application That Uses Console Output :


24

Understanding the First Class

• Everything used within Java program must be part of a class

• Define Java class using any name or identifier

• Requirements for identifiers– Must begin with:

• Letter of English alphabet• Or non-English letter (such as α or π)

– Cannot begin with digit


25


• Requirements for identifiers– Can only contain:

• Letters

• Digits

• Underscores

• Dollar signs

– Cannot be Java reserved keyword– Cannot be true, false, or null

• Access modifier– Defines how class can be accessed


26


Understanding the StatementThat Prints the Output


27

Some Illigal in Java Class names


28

Understanding the First Class (continued)

30

Understanding the main() Method• static

– Means method accessible and usable • Even though no objects of class exist

• void – Use in main() method header– Indicates main() method does not return

value when called– Doesn’t mean main() doesn’t produce

output

Another Java Program: Example.java/*/* This is a simple Java program.This is a simple Java program.

Call this file Example.javaCall this file Example.java*/*/class Example class Example {{ //A Java program begins with a call to main().//A Java program begins with a call to main().

public static void main(String[] args) public static void main(String[] args) {{System.out.println("Java drives the Web."); System.out.println("Java drives the Web."); // System.out : console output// System.out : console output} // println() displays the string} // println() displays the string

} // passed to it } // passed to it

Here: Java is case sensitive language!!

• a source file : the same name as class with .java extension

• comments(ignored by the compiler): single line and multiline

• a subroutine is called a method; main() method is the entry point

• public: access specifier ; static – can be called before an object is

created from a class ;

void - does not return a value

Change .println to Println and compile

Shell Code – create and use as a template for any class


32

Do not forget to same in the file AnyClassName.java


33

Adding Comments to a Java Class• Types of Java comments

– Line comments • Start with two forward slashes (//) • Continue to end of current line • Do not require ending symbol

– Block comments • Start with forward slash and asterisk (/*)• End with asterisk and forward slash (*/)


34

Saving, Compiling, and Runningand Modifying a Java Application• Saving a Java class

– Save class in file with exactly same name and.java extension

• For public classes• Class name and filename must match exactly

• Compiling a Java class– Compile source code into bytecode– Translate bytecode into executable statements

• Using Java interpreter– Type javac First.java


35

Running a Java Application

• Run application from command line– Type java First

• Shows application’s output in command window

• Class stored in folder named Java on C drive


36

Running a Java Application

In order javac and java programs be able to find First.java and First.class files - set up Environmental Path variable

Modifying a Java Class

• Modify text file that contains existing class

• Save file with changes – Using same filename

• Compile class with javac command• Interpret class bytecode and execute

class using java command


37


38

Creating a Java ApplicationUsing GUI Output• JOptionPane

– Produce dialog boxes

• Dialog box – GUI object resembling window– Messages placed for display

• Package– Group of classes

• import statement– Use to access built-in Java class


39

Creating a Java ApplicationUsing GUI Output


40

Correcting Errors

• First line of error message displays:– Name of file where error found– Line number– Nature of error

• Next lines identify:– Symbol – Location

• Compile-time error– Compiler detects violation of language rules – Refuses to translate class to machine code

Do not expect miracles : an error message will only approximately indicate where an error is and what it could be – no guarantee that these are 100% correct


41

Correcting Errors andFinding Help (continued)• Parsing

– Process compiler uses to divide source code into meaningful portions

• Logic error– Syntax correct but produces incorrect

results when executed– Usually more difficult to find and resolve

• Java API – Also called the Java class library– Prewritten Java classes


42

You Do It

• Your first application• Adding comments to a class• Modifying a class• Creating a dialog box

Don’t Do It

• File’s name must match name of class• Don’t confuse names parentheses, braces,

brackets, curly braces, square brackets, and angle brackets

• Don’t forget to end a block comment• Don’t forget that Java is case sensitive• End every statement with semicolon

– Do not end class or method headers with semicolon

• Recompile when making changes


43
