Object AND Classes: in Java

This document discusses objects and classes in Java. It defines an object as a runtime entity that represents real-world entities, containing both data and code. A class is a template that defines a new data type for objects, and contains members like variables and methods that objects can access. To create an object, a variable of the class type is declared, and then instantiated using the new operator, allocating memory and returning a reference to the new object.

OBJECT

AND
CLASSES
in JAVA

Praseetha V.V
Object-Oriented Programming
 Emphasis is on data rather than behavior.
 Programs are designed around objects.
 Data structures are designed such that they
characterize objects.
 Objects may communicate each other
through methods.
 New data and methods can be added easily
whenever needed.
Objects
 Objects are basic runtime entities.
 Object – A variable of class type.
 An object represents an entity from the
real-world in the model.
 Objects contain data and code to manipulate
the data.
 Eg: “a person”, “a place”, “a bank account”
 When a program is executed, objects interact
by sending messages to another.
 Considering ‘customer’ and ‘account’ as two
objects in a banking program, then the
‘customer’ object may send message to
‘account’ object requesting for the balance.
 The entire set of data and code of an object
can be made a user-defined data type using
the concept of a class.
Creating an Object
 First declare a variable of class type
 Second acquire an actual copy of the object
and assign it to that variable. We can do this
by using new operator
Rect r; //declare
r=new Rect(); //instantiate

Action Result

Declare Rect r; null


Rect
Instantiate r=new Rect(); object
Classes
 Class defines a new data type and an object
as a ‘variable’ of that data type.
 Class is a template for an object .
 Object is an instance of a class.
 A class thus is a collection of a objects of
similar type.
 The methods and variables defined in a class
are called members of the class.
 Eg: mango, apple, orange are the members
of the class fruit.
Basic form of class
definition
class classname
{
[variable declarations;]
[method declaration;]
}
class Rect class program
{ { public static
int length; void
//Field main(String
int breadth; args[ ])
void area() {
{ Rect r=new
System.out.printl Rect();
n("Area="+lengt
r.length=3;
h*breadth);
} r.breadth=4;
} r.area();
}
