OOPs concept forms the basis of Java Programming Language

OOPs concept forms the basis of Java Programming Language, I will try to answer your question in a very layman language.

OOPs stands for Object Oriented Programming. An approach to do programming which is based on Objects (or real life objects). There are mainly six OOPs concepts in general.

• Object
• Class
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism
• Abstraction
• Encapsulation

Object.

What is an object? Let me explain you this with a very simple example.

Consider a phone, now remember that an object always consists of behavior and state. In our current example a mobile can have behaviors i.e. It can make & receive calls, It can receive messages , It can set alarms etc. while it can have states too i.e. it will have model number, color, type etc. Best core java training in Bangalore

So guys always remember that an object always consists of state and behavior.

Class

Class is a logical collection of the objects and nothing more than that.

Moving on with our current example if an object is a phone than the collections of different types of phones is known as a class or if you consider vehicle as a class then collection of all types of vehicle i.e. car, bike, truck, ambulance, scooter etc. can considered as objects of this class. Similarly think of other examples of your own.

Inheritance

Inheritance is a special type of relationship where a class acquires the inherent properties of its parent class along with this it also contains its own exclusive properties.

For eg. Consider there is a Phone class which is a parent class ,now phone class can contain very basic properties that a other types of phone class should possess i.e. make and receive calls and redial properties. As shown in the above diagram there are three child classes of the phone class

Telephone contains the properties of parent class and it does not have it own properties

Mobile phone inherits the properties of parent class as well as its own exclusive properties like send and receive messages.

Smart phone inherits the properties of parent class along with this it also contains its own properties like send and receive messages , browse internet and install and use applications which is made specially for smartphones. Java Training in Bangalore

Polymorphism

Polymorphism simply means having multiple forms. Let me explain you this with an example and how this concept fits into java.

Consider a real world scenario , in cricket we know that there are different types of bowlers i.e. Fast bowlers , Medium pace bowlers and spinners as shown in the above figure. As you can see in the diagram that there is a parent class called BowlerClass and it has three child classes called FastPacer, MediumPacer and Spinner classes. Bowler class has bowlingMethod() and all the child classes inheriting this bowlingMethod(). As we all know that a fast bowler will going to bowl differently as compared to medium pacer and spinner in terms of bowling speed, long run up and way of bowling,etc. Similarly a medium pacer’s implementation of bowlingMethod() is also going to be different as compared to other bowlers. And same happens with spinner class.

The point of above discussion is simply that a same name tends to multiple forms.All the three classes above inherited the bowlingMethod() but their implementation is totally different from one another.

Polymorphism in JAVA is implemented by two ways:

1. Method Overriding

2. Method Overloading

Above example was of method overriding.

Abstraction

Abstraction means hiding the complexity and showing the easier form of the system .

For eg. Consider a bike as shown in the above figure, we all know that bike consists of various sophisticated parts like ignition system, exhaust pipe, wheels, brake systems etc. as shown in the above figure.

As a bike rider,we are not aware of the internal complexity and internal functionality of various parts of our system(bike) or in other words this complexity and internal functionality is hidden from us because as a bike rider we do not bother about how this complicated parts are implemented with each other. As a rider we only need to start our ignition system and change the gear to ride the bike.

This is called abstraction where easier form of the system is exposed to you without exposing the complexities. Similarly you can point out as many examples of abstraction from your surroundings like telephone, television, vehicles, computers ,etc.

In java abstraction is implemented using two ways

1. Interface

2. Abstract Class

Encapsulation

Encapsulation means data hiding in-order to make it safe from any modification. What does it mean? The best example to understand encapsulation is a Medical capsule. Drug is always safe inside the capsule. Encapsulation is implemented using POJO classes (getter and setter methods).
