Java Object-Oriented Programming(OOPs)Concepts

In this post, we will discuss the basic concepts of object-oriented programming. First, we will see what is Object Oriented Programming then discuss its concepts.
Java Object Oriented Concepts - The Coding Shala

Object-Oriented Programming

Object means a real-world entity like a pen, computer, car, etc. Object-Oriented Programming or OOPs uses objects in programming. The following are concepts of OOPs:
  • Object
  • Class
  • Method
  • Inheritance
  • Polymorphism
  • Abstraction
  • Encapsulation
In this post, we will discuss a basic overview of these concepts.

Objects

An object is a basic unit of Object-Oriented Programming. It represents real-life entities like computers, cars, tables, etc. When we create a class, Object can be defined as an instance of that class. When we define an object, it contains an address and takes up space in memory.

Objects have identity, Behavior, and State. For example, dog an object then the name of the dog is identity. Age, color, the breed are dog's state. the dog can eat, sleep and bark. These are dog behaviors.

Class


A class is a user-defined blueprint or prototype. A class contains a logical part of the code in the form of methods. we create objects for the class to access this logic of class.
Point to Remember: Class doesn't consume any space, Objects do.

Method


We write a method inside the class. A method is a collection of statements that perform some specific task. In Java, every method must be part of some class.

Inheritance


Inheritance is an important property of OOPs. When we write a class suppose A and write methods inside it, now we want to use methods or variables of class A so instead of creating the same methods inside the new class we use methods and variables of class A, this is known as inheritance. Here class A is called parent class and class that uses Class A's properties is called the child class. In inheritance, child class objects acquire all the properties and behaviors of a parent class.

Polymorphism

Polymorphism means many forms. If a single task is performed in different ways, it is known as polymorphism. Polymorphism in Java is achieved by method signature and declarations. In Java, polymorphism is mainly two types: Overloading and Overriding.

Abstraction

Only essential details are displayed to the user and non-essential details are hidden to the user is known as abstraction. In other way hiding internal details and showing functionality is known as abstraction. For example a car, the user sees a car as a car rather than its individual components. In Java, Abstraction is achieved by abstract class and interface.

Encapsulation

Wrapping code and data together into a single unit are known as encapsulation. it is also known as data hiding. Here we are hiding our data and code inside a single class.

We will see these topics in detail in later chapters.

Java Program to Convert Binary to Decimal - The Coding Shala

Home >> Java Programs >> Convert Binary to Decimal  Hey there, welcome back to another post. In this post, we will learn how to convert Binary to Decimal in Java. Java Program to Convert Binary to Decimal You have given a binary number, convert it to a decimal number. Example:  Input: 101 Output: 5 Input: 111 Output: 7 Binary to Decimal Conversion in Java Approach We will the below formula to convert binary to decimal: decimal number = (2^0) * (rightmost digit) + (2^1) * (second rightmost digit) + ...  for example:  binary number = 110 decimal number = 2^0 * 0 + 2^1 * 1 + 2^2 * 1 = 1 * 0 + 2 * 1 + 4 * 1 = 0 + 2 + 4 = 6 Java Program:  import java.util.Scanner; /** * https://www.thecodingshala.com/ */ public class Main { public static void printDecimal( int num) { int decimal = 0; int twos = 1; // 2^0 = 1 initial value while (num > 0) { int temp = num

N-th Tribonacci Number Solution - The Coding Shala

Home >> Programming >> N-th Tribonacci Number  Hey there, welcome back to another post. In this post, we will learn how to solve the N-th Tribonacci Number problem and will implement its solution in Java. N-th Tribonacci Number Problem Statement The Tribonacci sequence Tn is defined as follows: T0 = 0, T1 = 1, T2 = 1, and Tn+3 = Tn + Tn+1 + Tn+2 for n >= 0. Given n, return the value of Tn.  Example 1:  Input: n = 4 Output: 4 Explanation: T_3 = 0 + 1 + 1 = 2 T_4 = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 N-th Tribonacci Number Java Solution using Bottom-Up DP This problem is similar to the Fibonacci series. We can solve it using the Bottom-Up approach of dynamic programming. Time Complexity: O(n) Space Complexity: O(n) The space complexity can be reduced to O(1) by using variables to store the previous three values instead of using an array. Java Program:  class Solution { public int tribonacci( int n) { if (n == 0) return 0; if (n == 1 || n == 2

Java Program to Convert Decimal to Binary - The Coding Shala

Home >> Java Programs >> Convert Decimal to Binary  Hey there, welcome back to another post. In this post, we will learn how to convert decimal to binary in Java. Java Program to Convert Decimal to Binary You have given a decimal number. Write a Java program to convert decimal to binary. Example 1:  Input: 7 Output: 111 Input: 10 Output: 1010 Decimal to Binary Conversion using Array Approach To convert decimal to binary we can follow the below steps: Store the remainder in the array when we divide the number by 2. Divide the number by 2. Follow the above two steps until the number is above 0. Print the array in reverse order. For example:  4 % 2 = 0 => 4/2 = 2 2 % 2 = 0 => 2/2 = 1 1 % 2 = 1 => 1/2 = 0 Binary of 4 is: 100 Java Program:  import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.Scanner; /** * https://www.thecodingshala.com/ */ public class Main { public static void printBinary( int num) {
