What is an Object ?
Real-world objects: Concrete objects: Apple1, Car1, TV2, Teacher2, Student3,
… Conceptual Objects: 1, 2.3, Date1, Meeting2, point2, …
Objects has: Properties (attributes): color, weight, height, sex, name,
speed, position,… Capabilities (behaviors): can receive commands(, request,
query) and respond (do actions) based on its internal states to change its internal state and/or external environment.
The properties of an object constitutes its current state.

What is a Software object ?
a software bundle of data and functions used to model real-world objects you find in everyday life.
In OOP, Software objects are building block of software systems program is a collection of interacting objects objects cooperate to complete a task to do this, they communicate by sending “messages” to each other
Software objects can model tangible things: School, Car, Bicycle, conceptual things: meeting, date Processes: finding paths, sorting cards
Note: Software objects are only abstraction of real-world objects; properties and behavior of irrelevance will not be modeled in software objects.

What is a Java Object? In Java, an object consists of 0 or more fields and 0 or more met
hods. Fields are used to model properties. Methods are used to model capabilities.
Fields are variables. like the fields of a C struct. An object without methods is equivalent to a C struct.
A method is similar to a C function. Normally, it will operate on the fields of the object. These fields are accessible by name in the method.
Java variables can not hold objects, only references to them. Object do not have a names. Object are created only at runtime.
Given a reference r to an object, the syntax for accessing a field is: r.field_name, the syntax for accessing a method is: r.method()

Classes and Objects Current conception:
a java/software object a real-life object, e.g., a Java car a real car
Disadvantage: impractical to work with objects this way may be indefinitely many (i.e., modeling all atoms in the universe) do not want to describe each individual separately, because they may
have much in common Classifying objects into classes of similar properties/behavio
rs factors out commonality among sets of similar objects lets us describe what is common once then “stamp out” any number of copies later Ex: Student: { S1, S2, S3 } Course:{C1,C2,C3} Teacher:{ T1,T2} but not {s1, t1}, {s2, t2}, {c1,c2,c3,s3}

What is a Java Class?
In Java, a class is a template (textual description) of a set of similar objects. All objects in the class have the same types of
properties and the same set of capabilities.
It defines the fields and methods that all objects in that class will have. Classes have names. Class appear in the text of your program. A java program consists of a set of classes.
A defined class is a Java Type, so you can have objects or variables of that type.

An Example: the class of Circles:
Properties: a circle can be described by the x, y position of its center and by its radius.
Methods: Some useful operations on Circles: compute circumference, compute area, check whether points are inside the circle, etc.

The Circle class
By defining the Circle class (as below), we create a new data type.
// The class of circles (partially defined) class Circle { // Fields double x, y; double r; // Methods double circumference() { return 2 * 3.14159 * r; } double area() { return 3.14159 * r * r ; } void scale(double multiplier) { r *= multiplier; } void print() { System.out.println("circle of radius "+ r + " with center at (" + x + "," + y + ")“ ); } }

Creating Objects
In Java, objects are created by the new operator. For example: //define a variable to refer to Circle objects;no objects
yet.
Circle c ; // c is null now
// create a circle object and make the variable refer to it
c = new Circle();
// define variable and create Circle object all at once
Circle d = new Circle();
Note: the fields in these objects are given default values at creation (0 for numbers; null for object references)
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-12
Accessing Object Data We can access data fields of an object (subject to visibility
restrictions -- see later). For example: // create a new CircleCircle c = new Circle();//initialize our circle to have center (2, 5) and radius
1.0. c.x = 2.0;c.y = 5.0;c.r = 1.0;
// create another circleCircle d = new Circle();//initialize this circle to have center (10,7)and radius
4.0. d.x = 10.0;d.y = 7.0;d.r = 1.0;
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-13
Using Object Methods
To access the methods of an object, use same syntax as accessing the data of an object:
Circle c;
double a;
... a = c.area(); // Not a = area(c);
Notes Each method has a signature, which is defined by:
method name types, number, and order of arguments
Each class can define several methods with same name and different arguments (overloading).
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-14
Constructors
Every class in Java has at least one constructor method, which has the same name as the class.
The purpose of a constructor is to perform any necessary initialization for new objects.
Java provides a default constructor that takes no arguments and performs no special initialization (i.e. gives objects default values). Note: Java compiler provide the default constructor: class
Name() only if you do not provide any constructor at your class definition.
For example:
Circle c = new Circle();
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-15
Defining a Constructor Can define additional constructors for initialization. // The circle class, with a constructor public class Circle { public double x, y, r; // Constructor method public Circle(double x, double y, double r) { this.x = x; this.y = y; this.r = r; } // Other methods ... as above ... }
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-16
Defining a Constructor (cont.)
With the new constructor, we can create and
initialize a Circle object as:
Circle c = new Circle(2.0, 5.0, 1.0);
A constructor is like a (static) method whose name
is the same as the class name.
The return type is an instance of the class.
No return type is specified in constructor
declarations, nor is the void keyword used.
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-17
Multiple Constructors A class can have any number of constructor methods. public class Circle{ public double x, y, r; // Constructors public Circle(double x, double y, double r) { this.x = x; this.y = y; this.r = r; } public Circle(double r) { x = 0.0; y = 0.0; this.r = r; } public Circle(Circle c) { this.x = c.x; this.y = c.y; this.r = c.r; } public Circle() { x = 0.0; y = 0.0; r = 1.0; } // Other methods ... as above ... }
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-18
Multiple Constructors (cont.) With the new constructors, we can initialize circle objects as
follows: Circle c1 = new Circle(2.0, 5.0, 1.0);// c1 contains (2.0, 5.0, 1.0)
Circle c2 = new Circle(3.5);// c2 contains (0.0, 0.0, 3.5)
Circle c3 = new Circle(c2);// c3 contains (0.0, 0.0, 3.5)
Circle c4 = new Circle();// c4 contains (0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
All uninitialized data receives default values.
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-19
Invoking one constructor from another We can use this(…) in a constructor to invoke other
constructor. public class Circle { public double x, y, r; // Constructors public Circle(double x, double y, double r) { this.x = x; this.y = y; this.r = r; } public Circle(double r) //{x =0.0; y = 0.0; this.r = r;} replaceable by {this(0.0,0.0,r); } public Circle() //{x = 0.0; y = 0.0; r = 1.0;} replaceable by {this(1.0); } ... } Note: do not result in recursion.

Object and Object References
A java object is a memory structure containing both data and methods
An object reference holds the memory address of an object
Rather than dealing with arbitrary addresses, we often depict a reference graphically as a “pointer” to an object

Assignment Revisited
The act of assignment takes a copy of a value and stores it in a variable
For primitive types:
int num1 = 5, unm2 = 12;
num2 = num1;

Aliases
Two or more references that refer to the same object are called aliases of each other
One object (and its data) can be accessed using different variables
Aliases can be useful, but should be managed carefully
Changing the object’s state (its variables) through one reference changes it for all of its aliases
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-24
Destroying Objects
When an object no longer has any valid references to it, it can no longer be accessed by the program It is useless, and therefore called garbage Java performs automatic garbage collection periodically, retu
rning an garbage object's memory to the system for future use
Hence it is needless to explicitly destroy objects. How can references to objects '' go away'‘ ?
Re-assigning object variables (a = b; a = null) or object variables going out of scope.

Object Finalization
A constructor method performs initialization for an object; a Java finalizer method performs finalization for an object.
Garbage collection only help freeing up memory. But there are other resources needed to be released.
file descriptors, sockets, lock, database connection.
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-26
Example: A Finalizer Method from the Java FileOutputStream class.
/**
* Closes the stream when garbage is collected.
* Checks the file descriptor first to make sure it is not already closed.
*/
protected void finalize() throws IOException {
if (fd != null) close();
}
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-27
Notes about finalize()
invoked before the system garbage collects the object.
no guarantees about when a finalizer will be invoked, or in what order finalizers will be invoked, or what thread will execute finalizers.
After a finalizer is invoked, objects are not freed right away. because a finalizer method may "resurrect" an object by st
oring the this pointer somewhere.
may throw an exception; If an uncaught exception actually occurs in a finalizer method, the exception is ignored by the system.
No ‘class Finalization’ method defined.

Types of variables and methods in a Java class
There are two main types of variables/fields: instance variables class variables Instance variables store information pertaining to one
particular object's state Class variables store information pertaining to all objects
of one class Likewise, there are two types of methods:
Instance methods Class methods Instance methods belong to individual objects; whereas
class methods belongs to the whole class. Note: In class method, you cannot use this and instance
variables.(why?)

Declare class field/method with the ‘static’ Modifier makes methods and variables belong to the class rather than
instances of the class. Example: counting how many circles: public class Circle{ public double x, y, r; // instance variables // ncircles is class variable public static int ncircles = 0; // Constructors public Circle(double x, double y, double r) { this.x = x; this.y = y; this.r = r; ncircles++; } public Circle(double r) { x = 0.0; y = 0.0; this.r = r; ncircles++; } ...}

The static Modifier (cont.)
In the above example, there's only one instance of th
e ncircles variable.
Diff. ways to reference ncircles: Circle.ncircles // ClassName.classVarName
ncircles; this.ncircles, // used inside the Circle class defi
nition only
c.ncircles // where c is a Circle variable
Similar approach for static methods.
Examples of static methods (or called class method):
Math.cos(x) Math.pow(x,y) Math.sqrt(x)

Notes on class methods
Must be declared with the static keyword Also called static method
Can only operate on class variables (e.g., static) Cannot use ‘this’ Cannot use instance variables
To access a class method: same as to access class vars: Circle.countCircles() // ClassName.classVarName
countCircles(); this.countCircles(),
// legal only when inside the Circle class definition
c.countCircles() // where c is a Circle variable Lots of examples of class methods in the JDK (e.g.,

Class and Instance initializers
Both class and instance variables can have initializers attached to their declarations. static int num_circles = 0; float r = 1.0;
Class variables are initialized when the class is first loaded.
Instance variables are initialized when an object is created.
Sometimes more complex initialization is needed. For instance variables, there are constructor methods ,an
d instance initializer. For class variables static initializers are provided

An example static/instance initializer
public class TrigCircle { // Trigonometric circle // Here are our static lookup tables, and their own simple initializers.
static private double sines[] = new double[1000]; static private double cosines[] = new double[1000]; // Here's a static initializer "method" that fills them in. // Notice the lack of any method declaration! static { double x, delta_x; int i; delta_x = (Circle.PI/2)/(1000-1); for(i = 0, x = 0.0; i < 1000; i++, x += delta_x) { sines[i] = Math.sin(x); cosines[i] = Math.cos(x); } … // The rest of the class omitted.

// instance field and methods
Private int[] data = new int[100]; // data[i] = i for i = 0..99

Notes on initializers
can have any number of static/instance initializers; can appear anywhere a field or method can appear. Static initializer behaves like class method and cann
ot use this keyword and any instance fields of the class
The body of each instance initializers (alone with field initialization expressions) is executed in the order they appear in the class and is executed at the beginning of every constructor.
The body of each static initializers (alone with static field initialization expressions) is executed in the order they appear in the class and is executed while the class is loaded.

Inheritance in OOP
Inheritance is a form of software reusability in which new cla
sses are created from the existing classes by absorbing their
attributes and behaviors.
Instead of defining completely (separate) new class, the prog
rammer can designate that the new class is to inherit attribut
es and behaviours of the existing class (called superclass). T
he new class is referred to as subclass.
Programmer can add more attributes and behaviors to the su
bclass, hence, normally subclasses have more features than
their superclasses.
Inheritance relationships form tree-like hierarchical structure

Subclasses and Inheritance
An important aspect of OO programming:
the ability to create new data types based on existing data types
Example ... a class of drawable Circles: we'd like to be able to draw the circles we create, as well a
s setting and examining their properties.
for drawing, we need to know the color of the circle's outline and its body
In Java, we implement this by defining a new class that extends the behavior of the Circle class.
This new class is a subclass of Circle.
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-41
Subclass Example
The class GraphicCircle:
public class GraphicCircle extends Circle { // Extra fields
Color outline, fill;
// Extra constructors
public GraphicCircle(Color edge, Color fill)
{ x = 0.0; y = 0.0; r = 1.0;
outline = edge; this.fill = fill; }
public GraphicCircle(double r, Color edge, Color fill)
{ super(r); outline = edge; this.fill = fill; }
// Extra methods
public void draw(Graphics g)
{ g.setColor(outline); g.drawOval(x-r, y-r, 2*r, 2*r);
g.setColor(fill); g.fillOval(x-r, y-r, 2*r, 2*r); }

Subclass Inheritance
A subclass inherits fields and methods from its pare
nt class.
A subclass method overrides a superclass method if
they have the same signature.
A subclass field shadows a superclass field if they h
ave the same name.
Refer to the superclass field via super.field
Note: you can also use super.method(…) to refer t
o overridden superclass method.

Using Subclasses
Subclasses are just like ordinary classes: GraphicCircle gc = new GraphicCircle(); ...double area = gc.area(); We can assign an instance of GraphicCircle to a Circ
le variable. Example: GraphicCircle gc; ... ... Circle c = gc; //widening conversion is // always safe; explicit cast is not needed.

Abstract Classes
Abstract classes let us define the ``appearance'' of a group of classes.
We subsequently implement specific classes according to this pattern.
declare classes that define only part of an implementation, leaving extended classes to provide specific implementation of some or all of the methods.
The benefit of an abstract class is that methods may be declared such that the programmer
knows the interface definition of an object, however, methods can be implemented differently in
different subclasses of the abstract class.

Abstract Classes (cont.)
Any class containing an abstract method is automatically abstract itself
But an abstract class need not have abstract methods in it!
an abstract class can not be instantiated a subclass of an abstract class can be instantiated if
it overrides each of the abstract methods of its superclass and provides an implementation for all of them
if a subclass of an abstract class does not implement all of the abstract methods it inherits, that subclass is itself abstract

Inheritance
Inheritance allows a software developer to derive a new class from an existing one
The existing class is called the parent class, or superclass, or base class
The derived class is called the child class or subclass. The child class inherits characteristics (data & method
s) of the parent class That is, the child class inherits the methods and dat
a defined for the parent class

Inheritance
Inheritance relationships are often shown graphically in a class diagram, with the arrow pointing to the parent class
Inheritance relationships: base class: Vehicle derived class: Car Car inherits data & methods from Vehicle

Controlling Inheritance by the protected Modifier
The protected (and public) visibility modifier allows a member of a parent class to be inherited into the child
But protected visibility provides more encapsulation than public does
However, protected visibility is not as tightly encapsulated as private visibility
Note: Inheritance does not change the visibility of the parent class members when used through instances of child classes.
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-56
Visibility modifiers and their usage
The visibility modifiers determine which class members can be referenced from where and which cannot.
public members: all classes
protected members all classes in the same package + all subclasses (and subsubclasses …) Note: Java has no notions of public, private or protected inheritance as
in C++; all inheritances are public. package members [default visibility]
all classes in the same package private members
can only be used in the same class where the member is defined.

The super Reference
Constructors are not inherited, even though they are declared to have public visibility
Yet we often want to use the parent's constructor to set up the "parent's part" of the object
The super reference can be used to refer to the parent class, and is often used to invoke the parent's constructor

Single vs. Multiple Inheritance
Java supports single inheritance, meaning that a derived class can have only one parent class
Multiple inheritance allows a class to be derived from two or more classes, inheriting the members of all parents
Collisions, such as the same variable name in two parents, have to be resolved
In most cases, the use of interfaces gives us the best aspects of multiple inheritance without the overhead

Indirect Access
An inherited member can be referenced directly by name in the child class, as if it were declared in the child class
But even if a method or variable is not inherited by a child, it can still be accessed indirectly through parent methods

A child class can override the definition of an inherited method in favor of its own
A child can redefine a method it inherits from its parent
Overriding method: has the same signature as the parent's method has different code in the body
The actual type (not casted type) of an object determines which method is invoked

Overloading vs. Overriding
Don‘t confuse the concepts of overloading ( 多載 ) and overriding( 覆蓋 )
Overloading deals with multiple methods in the same class with the same name but different signatures
Overriding deals with two methods, one in a parent class and one in a child class, that have the same signature
Overloading lets you define a similar operation in different ways for different data
Overriding lets you define a similar operation in different ways for different object types

The super Reference Revisited
Inherited parent methods/fields can be explicitly invoked using the super reference
If a method/field is declared with the final modifier, it cannot be overridden
The concept of overriding can be applied to data (called shadowing variables), but shadowing behaves quite differently from overriding.
The syntax is:
super.method (parameters)
super.var See Firm.java

The Object Class
A class called Object is defined in the java.lang package of the Java standard class library
All objects are derived from the Object class If a class is not explicitly defined to be the child of an ex
isting class, it is assumed to be the child of the Object class
The Object class is therefore the ultimate root of all class hierarchies
The Object class contains a few useful methods, such as toString(),equal(), which are inherited by all classes
You may choose to override equals and/or toString to define equality/toString in your way.

Abstract Classes
An abstract class is a placeholder in a class hierarchy that represents a generic concept
An abstract class cannot be instantiated
We use the modifier abstract on the class header to declare a class as abstract
An abstract class often contains abstract methods (like an interface does), though it doesn’t have to
Basic Java Syntax
Transparency No. 1-86
Abstract Classes
The child of an abstract class must override the abstract methods of the parent, or it too will be considered abstract
An abstract method cannot be defined as final (because it must be overridden) or static (because it has no definition yet)
The use of abstract classes is a design decision; it helps us establish common elements in a class that is too general to instantiate

References and Inheritance
An object reference can refer to an object of its class, or to an object of any class related to it by inheritance

References and Inheritance
Assigning a descendant class instance to an ancestor reference is considered to be a widening conversion, and can be performed by simple assignment
Assigning an ancestor object to a subclass reference can also be done, but it is considered to be a narrowing conversion and must be done with a cast
The widening conversion is the most useful

Polymorphism
A polymorphic reference is one which can refer to one of several possible methods
Suppose the Holiday class has a method called celebrate, and the Christmas class overrode it
Now consider the following invocation:
day.celebrate(); If day refers to a Holiday object, it invokes Holiday's
version of celebrate; if it refers to a Christmas object, it invokes that version

Polymorphism
In general, it is the type of the object being referenced, not the reference type, that determines which method is invoked
Note that, if an invocation is in a loop, the exact same line of code could execute different methods at different times
Polymorphic references are therefore resolved at run-time, not during compilation

Interfaces
A Java interface is a collection of abstract methods and constants
An abstract method is a method header without a method body (i.e., no implementation)
An abstract method in an interface can be declared using the modifier abstract, but because all methods in an interface are abstract, it is usually left off. cf: abstract methods in an abstract class must be declared e
xplicitly using the abstract modifier.
An interface is used to formally define a set of methods that a class will implement

If a nested class called Inside is declared in an outer class called Outside, two bytecode files will be produced:
Outside.class
Outside$Inside.class
Nested classes can be declared as static, in which case they cannot refer to this, instance variables or methods
A nonstatic nested class is called an inner class

Kinds of Java classes /interfacesTop-level classes /interfaces Non-nested top-level classes/interfaces
are ordinary classes/interfaces that are direct members of a package.
Nested top-level classes / interfaces are static members of other top-level classes/interfaces nested interfaces are implicitly static (hence top-level).
Inner classes: Member classes
are non-static nested classes
Local classes are classes defined inside method body
Anonymous classes are classes defined within method body without given a class name

Nested top-level classes /interfaces
also called static member classes/interfaces behave like an ordinary top-level class/interface
except that it can access the static members of all of its direct or
indirect containing classes. can be public, protected, package or private. must use the name A.B.C t o reference to a class C
enclosed by class B enclosed by class A.

Features of static member classes
obey the same rules of other static members: can access only static members (using simple or full
name) accessible to other classes according to the used visibility
modifier. note: useful for compiler only. as to interpreters: pubic or protected nested/member classes => visible to all classes, package or private nested/member classes => visible to containing package

Member class v.s. Static class static class and its enclosing classes are static class-class relationship member class and its enclosing classes are instance-instance
relationship. 1. Each member class instance must be created/accessed through
instances of the containing class. 2. Each member class instance is associated with an unique instance

Restrictions on member classes
A member class cannot have the same name as any containing class or package.
Member classes cannot contain any static fields, methods or classes (with the exception of constant fields). since member class is associated with object instances, it
is nonsense/needless to have static members.
Interfaces cannot be defined as member classes. since interfaces cannot be instantiated, there is no way for
an object to create an interface instance. A nested interface is by default static, even if the modifier
‘static’ is not given in the header.

New syntax for member classes
member class can access instance field/method of containing class. public Enumerator() { current = top; }
How to make the reference explicit ? public Enumeration() { this.current = this.top;} // this.current ok ; but this.top err!! // since there is no top in class Enumeration
Solution: public Enumeration() { this.current = LinkedStack.this.top;}
New syntax: C: a containing class name C.this is used to reference the associated C instance. needed only when using this incurs ambiguity.

accessing superclass members of the containing class
Recall that we use super.f (or super.m(…)) to reference shadowed or overridden member of parent class of this.
Likewise, we use C.super.f to reference the f field of the parent class of C, which is a
containing class of this, and use C.super.m() to reference the method m() of the parent class of C. Note: not implemented by java 1.1.

using containing class instance to invoke constructors of member class
Every instance of a member class is associated with an instance of its containing class. pubic Enumeration enumerate(){return new Enumeration
();} can also be written as pubic Enumeration enumerate() { return this.new Enumera
tion;} More useful case:
LinkedStack stack = new LinkedStack(); Enumeration e1 = stack.enumerate(); // could create one without invoking enumerate()!! Enumeration e1 = stack.new Enumeration();
syntax: C: a containing class of member class D with constructor D(…); s : this or var of type C s.new D(…) will invoke D(…) of class D in instance of C ref
erenced by s.

Local Classes
class declared locally within a block of Java code. within method body within instance/static initialization block
Feature of Local class: Local class is to member class what local variable is to
instance variable. Properties similar to that of local variables: 1. invisible outside the containing block. 2. cannot use accessibility or static modifiers Properties similar to member classes 1.can access any member of any containing classes. 2. no local interfaces can use any final local variables or method parameters
that are visible from the scope in which they are defined.

Anonymous class vs local class
when to use anonymous class: The class has a very short body. Only one instance of the class is needed. The class is used right after it is defined. The name of the class does not make your code any easier
to understand.
Restrictions on anonymous classes: An anonymous class has no name and hence cannot be
used to create more than one instance for each execution. It is not possible to define constructors for anonymous
classes.

// Instantiate and return this implementation.

Linkable current = top; // This used to be in the constructor, but
// anonymous classes don't have constructors.
public boolean hasMoreElements() { return (current != null); }
public Object nextElement() {
if (current == null) throw new NoSuchElementException("LinkedList");
Object value = current;
current = current.getNext();
return value; }
}; // Note the required semicolon. It terminates the return statement.

Some other notes Blank finals
a field or variable can de declared final without specifying an initial value in the declaration.

Class Literals: Each user or system defined class is represented by an object of the c
lass java.lang.Class at runtime. Given a fully qualified class name a.b.C, there are two ways to referen
ce to the Class object representing a.b.C: 1. Class.forName(“a.b.C”) 2. a.b.C.class 2. is useful for inner classes as well; as to 1.it requires special knowle
dge of how inner classes is translated into top level classes. class.forName(a.b.C$D); a.b.C.D.class
