The Java Program

(TLE_ICTJAVA1 1-12POAD-IIf-i-29)
 Specific Objective/s

This Learning Activity Module (LAS) was designed and written with you in mind. It is
here to help you master Java Technology and the Java Programming Language. The
scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are
arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you
read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.
The LAS is divided into one (1) learning outcome, specifically:

• LO 8. Work with methods and encapsulation

o 8.1 Create methods with arguments and return values in
accordance with Java framework
o 8.2 Apply static keywords to methods and fields in accordance
with Java framework
o 8.4 Apply access modifiers in accordance with Java framework
After going through this Learning Activity Sheets, you are expected to:
1. Analyze patterns of programming in Java Programming Language;
2. Write simple Java Programs;
3. Compile and execute Java Programs;
4. Compile Java Programs using BlueJ;
5. Execute Java Programs using BlueJ;
6. Debug Java Programs;
7. Create methods with arguments
8. Apply static keywords to methods and fields in accordance with Java
framework; and
9. Apply access modifiers in accordance.
 Directions/Instructions

In this Learning Activity Sheet, you will study about Java technology and
Java programming.

Notes to the Students

1. Study the lessons and answer religiously the activities. These will guide you on
what you will learn at the end of this Learning Activity Sheet.

2. Discover what you already know by answering the learning activities.

3. Apply what you have learned in real-life situation.

 Procedure

Class

Class defines the common variable.

Example:

Sample Code:
 What is a method?

A method refers to a piece of code referring to behaviors associated either with an

object or its class. A code found in a class for responding to a message. The
executable code that implements the logic of a particular message for a class. An
operation or function that is associated with an object and is allowed to manipulate
the object's data.

Creating a Method

Method Calling

How to call a method

1. Method name should match

2. Number of parameters should match
3. Type of parameters should match
Ways of calling a method

1. Calling a method through its object name

2. Calling a method within the same class
3. Calling a static method through its class name
Examples:

Passing Parameters

Passing parameters in Java is always Pass by Value!

When passing a parameter of primitive type:

• A copy of the value of the variable is passed

• The passed variable cannot be changed in the called method as the
method only possesses a copy of that variable.
When passing a parameter of reference type:

• A copy of the reference (address) of the object is passed

• The object reference cannot be changed in the called method (i.e., the
object cannot be reassigned to another object)
• The object state can be changed in the called method (i.e., attributes
can be modified)
Constructors

When you create a new instance (a new object) of a class using the new keyword,
a constructor for that class is called. Constructors are used to initialize the
instance variables (fields) of an object. Constructors are similar to methods, but
with some important differences.
The Differences

Constructor name is class name. A constructor must have the same name as the
class its in.

Default constructor.

If you don't define a constructor for a class, a default parameterless constructor is

automatically created by the compiler.

Default constructor is created only if there are no constructors.

If you define any constructor for your class, no default constructor is automatically
created.

A constructor doesn’t have a return type.

There is no return statement in the body of the constructor.

this(...) - Calls another constructor in same class. Often a constructor with few
parameters will call a constructor with more parameters, giving default values for
the missing parameters. Use this to call other constructors in the same class.

super(...). Use super to call a constructor in a parent class. Calling the constructor
for the superclass must be the first statement in the body of a constructor. If you
are satisfied with the default constructor in the superclass, there is no need to
make a call to it because it will be supplied automatically.

Unlike methods, constructors are not considered members of a class.

A constructor is called automatically when a new instance of an object is created.

Syntax:

public ClassName (parameter-list) {

statements...

Defining Inheritance

Inheritance is the ability to derive new classes from existing ones. A derived class
("subclass") inherits the instance variables and methods of the base class
("superclass"), and may add new instance variables and methods.

Inheritance defines a hierarchical relationship among classes wherein one class

shares the attributes and methods defined in one or more classes.

Inheritance is a relationship among classes in which one class shares the structure
and behavior of another. A subclass inherits from a superclass.

Relationships of Inheritance

“is-a” relationship

a subclass can be used wherever a superclass can be used

implemented in Java by extending a class

“has-a” relationship

Rules of Inheritance

• A class can only inherit from one class (known as single inheritance).
• A subclass is guaranteed to do everything the superclass can do.
• A subclass inherits members from its superclass and can modify or
add to its behavior and properties.
• A subclass can define members of the same name in the superclass,
thus hiding the superclass members.
• Inheritance is transitive (i.e., class A inherits from class B, including
what B inherited from class C).
• All classes inherit from the Object class - the highest in the
inheritance hierarchy.
• private members, hidden members, and constructors are not inherited
by subclasses.
 ? Questions
