OOPs Concept in Java

a thread...

 OOP Concepts are very common in Software Engineering.

All the OOP languages like Java, Python, C++, .Net, etc. have this concept.

In this thread, we'll try to understand it from Java's standpoint.
There are six different concepts in OOP:

1. Object
2. Class
3. Inheritance
4. Encapsulation
5. Abstraction
6. Polymorphism

Let's understand them one by one...
Object:

Look around you, whatever you see can be considered an Object.

For eg: The chair you are sitting on, the table, your computer, your house, windows, your pet, you yourself!

An object has Behaviour (things it does or performs) and Attributes (things that describe it).
Example:

Note: B = Behavior, A = Attribute

Chair:
B - Moves, Adjust Height, Recline, etc.
A - Built Material, Color, Make & Model, Brand, Price, etc.

You:
B - Eat, Play, Watch Netflix, Sleep, etc.
A - Height, Weight, Age, DOB, Name, SSN, etc.
Class:

The collection of all related objects is called Class.

Consider class as a general category which contains all the related objects inside it.

Eg:
Objects like Wheel chair, Office Chair, Wooden Chair can be apart of "Chair" class.
Other Class Examples:

"Table" Class can have different objects like Study Table, Office Table, Dining Table, etc.

"Vehicle" Class has Car, Truck, Bus, Plane as Objects.

"Car" Class can have Sedans, SUVs, HatchBacks, and Mini SUVs as Objects.

and many more like this...
Inheritance:

The way we inherited a few qualities from our parents like few look like their father, few skin types are the same as their mother, hairs, nails, height, body, etc.

Similarly,
A class can also inherit the qualities from a parent class.
For eg:

Phone Class can have two Child Classes:
TelePhone
MobilePhone

Both these child classes can inherit the "calling" behavior.
Encapsulation:

It means wrapping data into a single unit and securing it.

For eg:
Drug Capsule: Wraps different medicines into a single unit and protect them from outside environment.

Bank Locker: Wraps your valuables into a single unit(locker) and protects it via passcode.
Use of Encapsulation?

Encapsulation hides the data and wraps it in a single unit. It helps in two ways - a) It protects the data from any misuse by hiding it and b) Provides easy access to relevant data with a single unit by wrapping it.
Abstraction:

Hiding complexity from the user and showing only the relative stuff.

For Eg:
Car - All the complexity like engine, machinery, etc is hidden from you and only relevant part is shown like the brakes, accelerator, and gearbox.
Other Abstraction Example:

ATM Machine:
User is only given a option to insert card, take cash, enter PIN,etc. While the other complexities like communication with the bank server, validating PIN, checking balance, etc is hidden from user.
Use of Abstraction?

Abstraction helps in making a User-Friendly system and also protects it from doing any harm to our system by hiding the complexity. So that user can only focus on relative things.
Confused between Abstraction and Encapsulation?

Abstraction hides the Implementation details (complexity) and secures implementation, not data.

Encapsulation hides the data and secures it from unwanted use.
Polymorphism:

It means many forms. With the same name, it provides different forms.

For eg:
In Chess, we've 6 pieces - king, rook, bishop, queen, knight, and pawn. All of them "move" differently i.e. Bishop moves diagonally, Rooks move horizontal and vertical, etc.
All Chess piece performs a common behavior "move" but they all do it differently. The behavior name "move" is the same but it's still differently done by different Objects.
Use of Polymorphism:

We can implement standards that are common and that everybody understands, easier to remember.

In the above example "move" is a common behavior so everybody knows that the "move" function will move the chess piece as per the piece type.
Conclusion:

We can use the OOP concept to map any real-world situation into programming very easily. That's why OOP concepts are designed close to reality.

A better understanding of these concepts is going to decide how good programmers we will become in the future.

Java: Acess Modifiers

a thread...

(Cheatsheet Included)

What is an access modifier?

Access Modifiers are a way of providing limited visibility to methods, variables, classes.

Different access modifiers provide different visibility due to which our program because less prone to unwanted changes.

Java has four access modifiers, let's see each one by one

public:
It's the least restrictive access modifier when any class, method, or variable is defined as public then it is accessible from anywhere.

protected:
Protected methods & variables can be accessed within the same package and also accessible to all child classes.

default:
When no access modifier is specified then java treats it as default. With default methods & variables are accessible within the same package.

private:
It's the most restrictive access modifier, when given to any methods & variable it is only accessible within the same class.

Java: Beginner Guide to Multithreading

a thread...

Multithreading is a concept of applying multitasking in Java.

Java supports thread-based multitasking.

Java program can be divided into several threads and those threads can be executed in parallel to support multi-tasking.

Two ways to create a thread in Java:

1. By Implementing Runnable Interface
2. By extending the Thread class

Let's create a thread by implementing the "Runnable" interface:

Steps:
1. Implement Runnable Interface
2. Override the run() method, and put your code inside it.
3. Pass the instance of your class to the Thread class constructor.
4. Call the start() method to run your thread.


Let's create a thread by extending the "Thread" class:

Steps:
1. Extend your class with Thread class
2. Override the run() method, and put your code inside it.
3. Instantiate your class.
4. Call the start() method to run your thread.

Five Different Ways to Create Objects in Java

a thread...

1. Using a new keyword.

It's the most popular one. We create an object by using a new operator followed by a constructor call.

Eg:


2. Using the newInstance() method of class "Class":

Eg:


3️. Using the newInstance() method in class "Constructor":

Eg:


Note:

Both the above ways (Shown in 2 and 3),
are known as reflective ways of creating objects.

Fun-fact:

Class's newInstance() method internally uses Constructor's newInstance() method.

Java: Why do we use getter and setter methods?

a thread...

In Java classes, we normally create the getter and setter methods to read and update class level fields respectively.

Let's find out why do we following this practice.

Consider a class "Account", having fields like accountName and accountBalance - to show the name and balance of the account.

As a common practice, both the variables are private and define the public getter and setter method to read and write their values.

Eg:


Using the above example, let's see different use-cases where having getter and setter methods can be game-changing.

1. Validation:

The public getter and setter method act as a single door to access the private fields.

Before updating the value we can run any validation in the setter method and accordingly allow field modification.

Eg:

In 1937, a trucker got frustrated waiting for his cargo to be unloaded. He later sold his company for $1.1 billion.

Here’s the story of how Malcom McLean made a billion dollars and which startup could be following in his footsteps. (Inspired by our episode with @laurabehrenswu)


In the early 1950s, the shipping industry was a dying business.

New York’s docks were handling half as much domestic cargo in the early 1950s as they had been in the depressed 1930s.

In thirty years, no one had invested significant money in coastal shipping.

Why?

As McLean found out, loading ships was difficult and slow.

A truck or train would deliver items to the port. Each item was unloaded separately, recorded, and carried to storage.

When a ship was ready, each item was taken from storage, counted again, and hauled on-board.


The cost of this labor was significant. As one expert at the time explained:

“A four-thousand-mile voyage for a shipment might consume 50 percent of its costs in covering just the two ten-mile movements through two ports.”


Yet, despite the industry’s issues, it felt little pressure to change.

Foreigners were barred from operating domestically. Cartels ran international routes. And gov. subsidies eased the pain of labor costs.

Reshaping the industry needed an outsider.

Enter Malcolm McLean.

Rani Jindan Kaur, wife of Maharaja Ranjit Singh had illegitimate relations with Lal Singh (PM of Ranjit Singh). Along with Lal Singh, she attacked Jammu, burnt - https://t.co/EfjAq59AyI


Hindu villages of Jasrota, caused rebellion in Jammu, attacked Kishtwar.

Ancestors of Raja Ranjit Singh, The Sansi Tribe used to give daughters as concubines to Jahangir.


The Ludhiana Political Agency (Later NW Fronties Prov) was formed by less than 4000 British soldiers who advanced from Delhi and reached Ludhiana, receiving submissions of all sikh chiefs along the way. The submission of the troops of Raja of Lahore (Ranjit Singh) at Ambala.

Dabistan a contemporary book on Sikh History tells us that Guru Hargobind broke Naina devi Idol Same source describes Guru Hargobind serving a eunuch
YarKhan. (ref was proudly shared by a sikh on twitter)
Gobind Singh followed Bahadur Shah to Deccan to fight for him.


In Zafarnama, Guru Gobind Singh states that the reason he was in conflict with the Hill Rajas was that while they were worshiping idols, while he was an idol-breaker.

And idiot Hindus place him along Maharana, Prithviraj and Shivaji as saviours of Dharma.

🎉🎉 PHP 7.3 is here!

Here are the things I'm excited about.

🚂 Trailing commas in function/method calls!

This will certainly be a required styling choice for me. Same delightful benefits of trailing comma in multi-line PHP arrays, and JavaScript objects.


🧵 Less disgusting heredoc syntax!

Inlining heredoc strings in any way right now is grrrosssss. Now we get sensible capabilities. Everything that was wrong with it is now fixed!

(Ignore the bad syntax highlighting)


☠️ Finally, not-so-silent json_decode error detection!

This really sucked before, now it just sucks a bit less (who wants to pass a 4th param and pass 2 default params first? (helper function anybody?)


📜 Not horrible functions for getting the first and last item (or key) from an array!

Before you either strung a bunch of functions together or messed with internal array pointers. This is a much-needed improvement.
