Static binding is resolved at compile time using the class type, while dynamic binding is resolved at runtime using the object. Abstract classes can contain both abstract and concrete methods, while interfaces contain only abstract methods. Abstract classes support single inheritance and can contain variables and implementations, whereas interfaces support multiple inheritance and only contain static final variables.

20CS43P : Object Oriented Programming and Design with Java

Tutorial Activity: 9

1. Compare and Contrast. Static and Dynamic binding and identify


usage of each

Binding is a mechanism creating link between method call and method


actual implementation. As per the polymorphism concept in Java , object can have
many different forms. Object forms can be resolved at compile time and run time.
If linking between method call and method implementation is resolved at compile
time then we call it static binding or If it is resolved at run time then it dynamic
binding. Dynamic binding uses object to resolve binding but static binding use
type of the class and fields.

Sr. Key Static Binding Dynamic Binding


No.

1 Basic It is resolved at compile time It is resolved at run time

2 Resolve static binding use type of the Dynamic binding uses


mechanism class and fields object to resolve binding

3 Example Overloading is an example of Method overriding is the


static binding example of Dynamic
binding

4. Type of private, final and static Virtual methods use


Methods methods and variables uses dynamic binding
static binding

Example of Static and Dynamic Binding


public class FastFood {
public void create() {
System.out.println("Creating in FastFood class");
}
}
public class Pizza extends FastFood {
public void create() {
System.out.println("Creating in Pizza class");
}
}

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
FastFood fastFood= new FastFood();
fastFood.create();
//Dynamic binding
FastFood pza= new Pizza();
pza.create();
}
}

2. Compare and Contrast. Abstract class and Interface, identify


usage of each.

Abstract class and interface both are used to achieve abstraction where we
can declare the abstract methods. Abstract class and interface both can't be
instantiated.

But there are many differences between abstract class and interface that are
given below.

Abstract class Interface

1) Abstract class can have abstract and non- Interface can have only
abstract methods. abstract methods. Since Java 8, it can
have default and static methods also.

2) Abstract class doesn't support multiple Interface supports multiple


inheritance. inheritance.

3) Abstract class can have final, non-final, Interface has only static and final
static and non-static variables. variables.

4) Abstract class can provide the Interface can't provide the


implementation of interface. implementation of abstract class.

5) The abstract keyword is used to declare The interface keyword is used to


abstract class. declare interface.

6) An abstract class can extend another Java An interface can extend another Java
class and implement multiple Java interfaces. interface only.

7) An abstract class can be extended using An interface can be implemented


keyword "extends". using keyword "implements".

8) A Java abstract class can have class Members of a Java interface are public
members like private, protected, etc. by default.

9)Example: Example:
public abstract class Shape{ public interface Drawable{
public abstract void draw(); void draw();
} }

Simply, abstract class achieves partial abstraction (0 to 100%) whereas interface


achieves fully abstraction (100%).
