 Java OOPs Concepts
• Object-Oriented Programming is a paradigm that provides many concepts, such
as inheritance, data binding, polymorphism and abstraction, etc.
• Simula is considered the first object-oriented programming language.
• The programming paradigm where everything is represented as an object is
known as a truly object-oriented programming language.
• Smalltalk is considered the first truly object-oriented programming language.
• The popular object-oriented languages are:
• Java
• C#
• PHP
• Python
• C++
The main aim of object-oriented programming is to implement real-world entities, for
example, object, classes, abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, etc.
OOPs (Object-Oriented Programming System):
• Object means a real-world entity such as a pen, chair, table, computer, watch, etc.
• Object-Oriented Programming is a methodology or paradigm to design a program using classes
and objects.
• It simplifies software development and maintenance by providing some concepts:
• Object
• Class
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism
• Abstraction
• Encapsulation
Apart from these concepts, there are some other terms which are used in Object-Oriented
design:
•Coupling
•Cohesion
•Association
•Aggregation
•Composition
Object
• Any entity that has state and behavior is known as an object. For example, a chair, pen, table, keyboard, bike,
etc.
• It can be physical(tangible) or logical(intangible).
• An Object can be defined as an instance of a class.
• An object contains an address and takes up some space in memory.

For Example:
1. Dog is an Object.
2. Dog state :Name, Color, Age
3. Dog Behavior: Bark, Sleep, Running, eat

State=Properties= characteristics =Data

Behavior=Method=Function

An object in software has data and related functions and methods.

Class:
• Collection of objects is called class.
• It is a logical entity.
• A class can also be defined as a blueprint from which you can create an individual object.
• Class doesn't consume any space.
Inheritance
• When one object acquires all the properties and behaviors of a parent object, it is known as
inheritance.
• It provides code reusability.
• It is used to achieve runtime polymorphism.

Vehicle

Car Truck Bus Motorcycle

• Wheels and motors(inherited) from vehicle

• Every subclass has its own characteristics also
• Bus has (seats for many people)
• Truck(heavy load hauling)
Polymorphism:
• it is an ability of an object to behave in multiple ways.
• In simple words, we can define polymorphism as the ability of a message to be displayed in
more than one form.
• Real life example of polymorphism is:
• Human can be > student, teacher, customer at a same time. It is called polymorphism.

Human

Student Techer
Customer

• In Java, we use method overloading and method overriding to achieve polymorphism.

Abstraction
• Hiding internal details and showing functionality is known as abstraction.
• For example phone call, we don't know the internal processing.
• In Java, we use abstract class and interface to achieve abstraction.
Encapsulation:

• Binding (or wrapping) code and data together into a single unit are known as encapsulation. For
example, a capsule, it is wrapped with different medicines.
• A java class is the example of encapsulation.
• Java bean is the fully encapsulated class because all the data members are private here.
Coupling:

• Coupling refers to the knowledge or information or dependency of another class.

• It arises when classes are aware of each other.
• If a class has the details information of another class, there is strong coupling.
• In Java, we use private, protected, and public modifiers to display the visibility level of a class,
method, and field.
• You can use interfaces for the weaker coupling because there is no concrete implementation .
Cohesion
• Cohesion refers to the level of a component which performs a single well-defined task.
• A single well-defined task is done by a highly cohesive method.
• The weakly cohesive method will split the task into separate parts.
• The java.io package is a highly cohesive package because it has I/O related classes and interface.
• However, the java.util package is a weakly cohesive package because it has unrelated classes and
interfaces.
Association
• Association represents the relationship between the objects.
• Here, one object can be associated with one object or many objects.
• There can be four types of association between the objects:
One to One
One to Many
Many to One, and
Many to Many

• Association can be undirectional or bidirectional.

Aggregation:
• Aggregation is a way to achieve Association.
• Aggregation represents the relationship where one object contains other objects as a part
of its state.
• It represents the weak relationship between objects.
• It is also termed as a has-a relationship in Java. Like, inheritance represents the is-
a relationship.
• It is another way to reuse objects.
Composition
• The composition is also a way to achieve Association.
• The composition represents the relationship where one object contains other objects as a
part of its state.
• There is a strong relationship between the containing object and the dependent object.
• It is the state where containing objects do not have an independent existence.
• If you delete the parent object, all the child objects will be deleted automatically.
Advantage of OOPs over Procedure-oriented programming
language
1) OOPs makes development and maintenance easier, whereas, in a
procedure-oriented programming language, it is not easy to manage if code
grows as project size increases.
2) OOPs provides data hiding, whereas, in a procedure-oriented programming
language, global data can be accessed from anywhere.
3) OOPs provides the ability to simulate real-world event much more
effectively. We can provide the solution of real word problem if we are using
the Object-Oriented Programming language.
