3. CLASSES AND OBJECTS  In Java, a class is a template/blueprint that defines both the data and the code that will operate on that data.  Each class definition is a data type.  Java uses a class specification to construct objects.  Objects are instances of a class by specifying object states.  The methods and fields that constitute a class are called members of the class.  Data members are referred to as instance variables 2

8. M ETHOD : P ARAMETERS AND ARGUMENTS  A parameter is a special kind of variable, used in a method to refer to one of the pieces of data provided as input to the method.  An argument is a value sent from the caller to the invoked method.  The mapping between parameters and arguments is based on their positions.  The value of the first argument is copied into the first parameter, the value of the second argument into the second parameter, and so on.  A parameter is within the scope of its method, and aside from its special task of receiving an argument, it acts like any other local variables. 7

11. C ONSTRUCTORS  A constructor of a class is syntactically similar to a method, but with no explicit return type, which initializes an object or performs any other startup procedures required to create a fully formed object when it is created.  Each class has at least one constructor.  If there is no constructor specified in a class, javac automatically adds a default constructor. A default constructor is a non-arg, i.e. without parameter, constructor and does nothing  If there is a constructor defined, no default constructor will be added by javac.  The name of a constructor must be the same as the class name.  A class may have more than one constructor, but with different parameter list.  Constructors are only activated by the new operator. 10

16. E NCAPSULATION AND INFORMATION HIDING  Java provides class construct to support encapsulation and information hiding.  Using class construct, programmers can use the data and services provided by another class to complete tasks without knowing the implementation details of the class.  Remember that you have use System, PrintStream, Integer and Scanner classes in J2SDK without knowing their implementation details. 15

17. M ORE REQUIREMENT FOR ENCAPSULATION AND INFORMATION HIDING  Thinking about the following scenario.  You are about to design a class Clock to represent clocks which provide the functions of setting and displaying date and time, and also setting the alarm. How to prevent a user from setting a illegal date and/or time, such as Feb. 30, 2013?  To complete your design, you need a mechanism to protect the fields from directly accessing by users and only allow users to access the fields through the methods in the same class.  The values set to fields can be verified by the methods.  Java provides access modifiers to protect the members of a class. 16

18. A CCESS MODIFIERS  Java provides 3 access modifiers for declaring class members : public, protected and private.  Java provides 4 access modes.  Visible to everyone: using public  Visible to the package and subclasses: using protected  Visible to the package, but not subclasses: declared without any access modifier  Visible to the class only: using private  When a member is declared with a access modifier, the access modifier must be the first keyword.  The ordering, based on the strength of restriction, of the 4 types of access modes from least to most is public, protected, default and private.  When you select a proper access modifier for a field, follow the principle of least privilege.  Since the scope of local variables and parameters is within the method which defines the variables, they cannot be declared with any access modifier. 17

20. P ACKAGES  In Java, a package means a group of functional related classes.  Packages are both an organizational and an access control feature.  The access control feature will be discussed in later lecture.  A package is similar to a directory in Microsoft Windows.  A package may contain packages and classes.  A package and its sub-packages/classes are separated by dot.  A fully-qualified class name consists of all the package names starting from the root, e.g. the fully qualified class name for System is java.lang.System. 19

24. G ETTERS AND SETTERS  By convention, fields should be declared as private and accessed through methods.  The method used to set the value of a field is called setter.  The name of a setter, by convention and JavaBeans specification, is beginning with “set” and then the field name (capitalized the first character of the field name).  Example: setLambda()  The method used to get the value of a field is called getter.  The name of a getter, by convention and JavaBeans specification, is beginning with “get” and then the field name (capitalized the first character of the field name).  Example: getLambda() 23
