10. 10 Objects and classes Classes (noun) –Represent ALL objects of a generic kind or type –eg. a car Objects (proper noun) –Represent ONE specific thing from the real world, or from some domain –eg. the specific red car down there Objects First with Java - A Practical Introduction using BlueJ, © David J. Barnes, Michael Kölling

11. 11 Methods and parameters Methods (verbs) –Operations invoked on a particular object –eg. drive the red car Parameters (adverbs) –Additional information necessary to execute the method needs to be passed –eg. drive the red car for 10 miles Objects First with Java - A Practical Introduction using BlueJ, © David J. Barnes, Michael Kölling

12. 12 Other observations Many instances can be created from a single class An object has attributes with values stored in fields The CLASS defines what FIELDS an object has But each OBJECT stores its own set of VALUES (the state of the object) Objects First with Java - A Practical Introduction using BlueJ, © David J. Barnes, Michael Kölling

15. 15 Source code Each class has its own source code (Java code) Associated with the class are definitions for its details –fields –methods Objects First with Java - A Practical Introduction using BlueJ, © David J. Barnes, Michael Kölling

16. 16 Return values All the methods in the figures project have void return types; but … … methods may return a result via a return value Such methods have a non- void return type More on this in the next chapter Objects First with Java - A Practical Introduction using BlueJ, © David J.
