in Java

“Object Orientation involving encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction, is an important approach in programming and program design. It is widely accepted and used in industry and is growing in popularity in the first and second college-level programming courses.”
![Page 3: Abstraction, Inheritance, and Polymorphism in Java](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649e025503460f94aed7d5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Some other reasons to move on to Java:
• Platform-independent software• Relatively easy graphics and GUI
programming• Lots of library packages• Free compiler and IDEs

Some other reasons to move on to Java:
• Colleges are teaching it
• Companies are using it
• Students want it
• (Teachers welcome it... ;)
• (Programmers drink it... :)

What are OOP’s claims to fame?
• Better suited for team development
• Facilitates utilizing and creating reusable software components
• Easier GUI programming
• Easier program maintenance

OOP in a Nutshell:
• A program models a world of interacting objects
• Objects create other objects and “send messages” to each other (in Java, call each other’s methods)
• Each object belongs to a class; a class defines properties of its objects
• A class implements an ADT; the data type of an object is its class
• Programmers write classes (and reuse existing classes)

• In OOP, the number of classes is not considered a problem

In a project with 10 classes we need an IDE...

Abstraction
... relevant to the given project (with an eye to future reuse in similar projects).
Abstraction means ignoring irrelevant features, properties, or functions and emphasizing the relevant ones...
“Relevant” to what?

Encapsulation
Encapsulation means that all data members (fields) of a class are declared private. Some methods may be private, too.
The class interacts with other classes (called the clients of this class) only through the class’s constructors and public methods. Constructors and public methods of a class serve as the interface to class’s clients.

public abstract class Foot{ private static final int footWidth = 24;
private boolean amLeft; private int myX, myY; private int myDir; private boolean myWeight;
// Constructor: protected Foot(String side, int x, int y, int dir) { amLeft = side.equals("left"); myX = x; myY = y; myDir = dir; myWeight = true; }
Continued
All fields are private
![Page 18: Abstraction, Inheritance, and Polymorphism in Java](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649e025503460f94aed7d5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Encapsulation ensures that structural changes remain local
• Changes in the code create software maintenance problems
• Usually, the structure of a class (as defined by its fields) changes more often than the class’s constructors and methods
• Encapsulation ensures that when fields change, no changes are needed in other classes (a principle known as “locality”)

Inheritance
A class can extend another class, inheriting all its data members and methods while redefining some of them and/or adding its own.
Inheritance represents the is a relationship between data types. For example: a FemaleDancer is a Dancer.
![Page 22: Abstraction, Inheritance, and Polymorphism in Java](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649e025503460f94aed7d5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Inheritance (cont’d)
public class FemaleDancer extends Dancer{ public FemaleDancer(String steps[], int x, int y, int dir) { leftFoot = new FemaleFoot("left", x, y, dir); rightFoot = new FemaleFoot("right", x, y, dir); leftFoot.move(-Foot.getWidth() / 2, 0); rightFoot.move(Foot.getWidth() / 2, 0); }}
Constructors are not inherited. The FemaleDancer class only adds a constructor:

public class FemaleFoot extends Foot{
public FemaleFoot(String side, int x, int y, int dir) { super(side, x, y, dir); // calls Foot's constructor }
//
public void drawLeft(Graphics g) { ... }
public void drawRight(Graphics g) { ... }}
Supplies methods that are abstract in Foot:

Inheritance may be used to define a hierarchy of classes in an application:
MaleFoot FemaleFoot

• You don’t need to have the source code of
a class to extend it
All methods of the base library class are available in your derived class

Polymorphism
Polymorphism ensures that the appropriate method is called for an object of a specific type when the object is disguised as a more general type.
Good news: polymorphism is already supported in Java — all you have to do is use it properly.
![Page 32: Abstraction, Inheritance, and Polymorphism in Java](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649e025503460f94aed7d5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Polymorphism (cont’d)
Situation 1:
A collection (array, list, etc.) contains objects of different but related types, all derived from the same common base class.
![Page 33: Abstraction, Inheritance, and Polymorphism in Java](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649e025503460f94aed7d5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
public abstract class Foot{ ... public void draw(Graphics g) { ... if (isLeft()) drawLeft(g); else drawRight(g); ... }}
Polymorphism replaces old-fashioned use of explicit object attributes and if-else (or switch) statements, as in:
