Programming in Java
Understanding Core Concepts and
Features
What is OOP?
• • A programming paradigm based on the
concept of objects
• • Key features: modularity, code reusability,
and ease of maintenance
• • Examples of OOP languages: Java, Python,
C++
Why Java for OOP?
• • Java is versatile and widely-used for OOP
• • Platform independence with JVM (Java
Virtual Machine)
• • Strong support for OOP principles
Core Principles of OOP
• 1. Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods
into a single unit
• 2. Inheritance: Sharing functionality across
classes
• 3. Polymorphism: One interface, multiple
implementations
• 4. Abstraction: Hiding complexity and showing
essential features
Classes and Objects
• • Class: Blueprint for objects
• • Object: Instance of a class
• Example:
• class Car {
• String brand;
• int speed;
• }
• Car myCar = new Car();
Encapsulation
• • Encapsulation bundles data and methods
within a class
• • Benefits: Data security and improved code
readability
• Example:
• class Person {
• private String name;
• public String getName() {
Inheritance
• • Allows one class to inherit properties and
methods of another
• • Promotes code reuse and logical hierarchy
• Example:
• class Animal {
• void eat() {
• System.out.println("This animal eats
food");
Polymorphism
• • One interface, multiple implementations
• • Compile-time (method overloading) and
runtime (method overriding)
• Example:
• class Animal {
• void sound() {
• System.out.println("Animal makes a
sound");
Abstraction
• • Hides complexity and exposes only essential
features
• • Achieved using abstract classes and
interfaces
• Example:
• interface Animal {
• void sound();
• }
Conclusion and Applications
• • OOP principles: Encapsulation, Inheritance,
Polymorphism, Abstraction
• • Real-world applications: Android
development, Web apps, Enterprise software
• • Mastering OOP in Java is crucial for modern
software development
