Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Java
Research and Study Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts in Java:
Understand the core principles of OOP and how they are implemented in Java.
Focus on how these concepts help in structuring and organizing code effectively.
Explain the Core OOP Concepts: For each concept, provide the following details:
Definition: A brief explanation of the concept.
Key Features: The important characteristics of the concept.
How it’s Implemented in Java: Explain how this concept is used in Java.
Example Code: Provide a Java code snippet to demonstrate the concept.
The key OOP concepts to cover are:
Class and Object:
Define what a class and object are in Java.
Explain the relationship between a class and an object.
Show how to create a class and instantiate objects in Java.
Encapsulation:
Define encapsulation and its purpose.
Explain how encapsulation helps in hiding data and ensuring controlled access.
Provide an example using private variables and public getter and setter methods.
Inheritance:
Define inheritance and explain how it allows for code reuse.
Show how one class can inherit properties and methods from another class.
Explain the
extends
keyword and provide an example demonstrating class inheritance.
Polymorphism:
Define polymorphism and explain the two types: compile-time (method overloading) and runtime (method overriding).
Explain how polymorphism allows methods to have different behaviors based on the object’s class.
Provide examples of method overloading and method overriding in Java.
Abstraction:
Define abstraction and explain its purpose.
Show how abstract classes and interfaces are used to implement abstraction.
Provide an example using an abstract class or interface in Java.
Additional OOP Concepts to Include:
Constructor: Explain what constructors are and their purpose in object creation.
Method Overriding vs. Method Overloading: Clarify the difference between the two and how they relate to polymorphism.
Final Keyword: Explain how the
final
keyword is used in Java (with classes, methods, and variables).
Deliverables:
