Review of Object-Oriented Concepts in JAVA
• Object-Oriented Concepts supported by JAVA.
• Advantages of Object-Orientation.
• Inheritance.
• Abstract Classes.
• Interfaces.
• Review Questions.
Object-Oriented Concepts supported by JAVA
• Java provides explicit support for many of the fundamental ObjectOriented Concepts. Some of these are:
– Classification: Grouping related things together. This is
supported through classes, inheritance & packages.
– Encapsulation: Representing data and the set of operations on
the data as a single entity - exactly what classes do.
– Information Hiding: An object should be in full control of its
data, granting specific access only to whom it wishes.
– Inheritance: Java allows related classes to be organized in a
hierarchical manner using the extends keyword.
– Polymorphism: Same code behaves differently at different
times during execution. This is due to dynamic binding.
Advantages of Object-Orientation.
• A number of advantages can be derived as a result of these objectoriented features. Some of these are:
– Reusability: Rather than endlessly rewriting the same piece of
code, we write it once and use it or inherit it as needed.
– Extensibility: A class can be extended without affecting its
users provided that the user-interface remains the same.
– Maintainability: Again, once the user-interface does not change,
the implementation can be changed at will.
– Security: Thanks to information hiding, a user can only access
the information he has been allowed to access.
– Abstraction: Classification and Encapsulation allow portrayal of
real-world problems in a simplified model.
Review of inheritance
• Suppose we have the following Employee class:
class Employee {
protected String name;
protected double payRate;
public Employee(String name, double payRate)
this.name = name;
this.payRate = payRate;
}
public String getName() {return name;}
public void setPayRate(double newRate) {
payRate = newRate;
}
public double pay() {return payRate;}
public void print() {
System.out.println("Name: " + name);
System.out.println("Pay Rate: "+payRate);
}
}
{
Review of inheritance (contd.)
• Now, suppose we wish to define another class to
represent a part-time employee whose salary is paid per
hour. We inherit from the Employee class as follows:
class HourlyEmployee extends Employee {
private int hours;
public HourlyEmployee(String hName, double hRate) {
super(hName, hRate);
hours = 0;
}
public void addHours(int moreHours) {hours += moreHours;}
public double pay() {return payRate * hours;}
public void print() {
super.print();
System.out.println("Current hours: " + hours);
}
}
Notes about Inheritance
•
We observe the following from the examples on inheritance:
• Methods and instance variables of the super class are inherited by
subclasses, thus allowing for code reuse.
• A subclass can define additional instance variables (e.g. hours) and
additional methods (e.g. addHours).
• A subclass can override some of the methods of the super class to
make them behave differently (e.g. the pay & print)
• Constructors are not inherited, but can be called using the super
keyword. such a call must be the first statement.
• If the constructor of the super class is not called, then the complier inserts a
call to the default constructor -watch out!
• super may also be used to call a method of the super class.
Review of Abstract Classes
• Inheritance enforces hierarchical organization, the benefits of which
are: reusability, type sharing and polymorphism.
• Java uses Abstract classes & Interfaces to further strengthen the
idea of inheritance.
• To see the role of abstract of classes, suppose that the pay method
is not implemented in the HourlyEmployee subclass.
– Obviously, the pay method in the Employee class will be assumed, which will
lead to wrong result.
– One solution is to remove the pay method out and put it in another extension of
the Employee class, MonthlyEmployee.
– The problem with this solution is that it does not force subclasses of Employee
class to implement the pay method.
Review of Abstract Classes (Cont'd)
• The solution is to declare the pay method of the Employee class as
abstract, thus, making the class abstract.
abstract class Employee {
protected String name;
protected double payRate;
public Employee(String empName, double empRate) {
name = empName;
payRate = empRate;
}
public String getName() {return name;}
public void setPayRate(double newRate) {payRate = newRate;}
abstract public double pay();
public void print() {
System.out.println("Name: " + name);
System.out.println("Pay Rate: "+payRate);
}
}
Review of Abstract Classes (Cont'd)
• The following extends the Employee abstract class to get
MonthlyEmployee class.
class MonthlyEmployee extends Employee {
public MonthlyEmployee(String empName, double empRate) {
super(empName, empRate);
}
public double pay() {
return payRate;
}
}
• The next example extends the MonthlyEmployee class to get the
Executive class.
Review of Abstract Classes (Cont'd)
class Executive extends MonthlyEmployee {
private double bonus;
public Executive(String exName, double exRate) {
super(exName, exRate);
bonus = 0;
}
public void awardBonus(double amount) {
bonus = amount;
}
public double pay() {
double paycheck = super.pay() + bonus;
bonus = 0;
return paycheck;
}
public void print() {
super.print();
System.out.println("Current bonus: " + bonus);
}
}
HourlyEmployee
Employee
MonthlyEmployee
Executive
Review of Abstract Classes (Cont'd)
• The following further illustrates the advantages of organizing classes
using inheritance - same type, polymorphism, etc.
public class TestAbstractClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Employee[] list = new Employee[3];
list[0] = new Executive("Jarallah Al-Ghamdi", 50000);
list[1] = new HourlyEmployee("Azmat Ansari", 120);
list[2] = new MonthlyEmployee("Sahalu Junaidu", 9000);
((Executive)list[0]).awardBonus(11000);
for(int i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
if(list[i] instanceof HourlyEmployee)
((HourlyEmployee)list[i]).addHours(60);
for(int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
list[i].print();
System.out.println("Paid: " + list[i].pay());
System.out.println("*************************");
}
}
}
The Program Output
Review of Interfaces
• Interfaces are not classes, they are entirely a separate entity.
• They provide a list of abstract methods which MUST be
implemented by a class that implements the interface.
• Unlike abstract classes which may contain implementation of some
of the methods, interfaces provide NO implementation.
• Like abstract classes, the purpose of interfaces is to provide
organizational structure.
• More importantly, interfaces are here to provide a kind of "multiple
inheritance" which is not supported in Java.
– If both parents of a child implement a method, which one does the child inherits?
- Multiple inheritance confusion.
– Interfaces allow a child to be both of type A and B.
Review of Interfaces (contd.)
• Recall that Java has the Comparable interface defined as:
interface Comparable {
int compareTo(Object o);
}
• Recall also that java has the java.util.Arrays class, which has a sort
method that can sort any array whose contents are either primitive
values or Comparable objects.
• Thus, to sort our list of Employee objects, all we need is to modify
the Employee class to implement the Comparable interface.
• Notice that this will work even if the Employee class is extending
another class or implementing another interface.
• This modification is shown in the next page.
Review of Interfaces (contd.)
abstract class Employee implements Comparable {
protected String name;
protected double payRate;
public Employee(String empName, double empRate)
name = empName;
payRate = empRate;
}
public String getName() {return name;}
public void setPayRate(double newRate) {
payRate = newRate;
}
abstract public double pay();
public int compareTo(Object o) {
Employee e = (Employee) o;
return name.compareTo( e.getName());
}
}
{
HourlyEmployee
Comparable
Employee
MonthlyEmployee
Executive
Review of Interfaces (contd.)
•
Since Employee class implements the Comparable interface, the array of
employees can now be sorted as shown below:
import java.util.Arrays;
public class TestInterface {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Employee[] list = new Employee[3];
list[0] = new Executive("Jarallah Al-Ghamdi", 50000);
list[1] = new HourlyEmployee("Azmat Ansari", 120);
list[2] = new MonthlyEmployee("Sahalu Junaidu", 9000);
((Executive)list[0]).awardBonus(11000);
for(int i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
if(list[i] instanceof HourlyEmployee)
((HourlyEmployee)list[i]).addHours(60);
Arrays.sort(list);
for(int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
list[i].print();
System.out.println("Paid: " + list[i].pay());
System.out.println("**********************");
}
}
}

Review Questions
•
How does an interface differ from an abstract class?
• Why does Java not support multiple inheritance? What feature of
Java helps realize the benefits of multiple inheritance?
•
An Abstract class must contain at least one abstract method, (true
or false)?
•
A subclass typically represents a larger number of objects than its
super class, (true or false)?
• A subclass typically encapsulates less functionality than its super
class does, (true or false)?
•
An instance of a class can be assigned to a variable of type any of
the interfaces the class implements, (true or false)?
