Objects and Classes

Using Helper.factorial(...) computing $(\begin{matrix} n \\ k \end{matrix}) = \frac{n!}{k! (n - k)!}$

Objects and Classes

The concept of classes: Blueprints for objects.

Example: Rectangles

UML diagram visualization.

In object oriented languages classes:

are blueprints for objects.
contain attributes and methods.
allow for implementation hiding.
allow for tailored access to methods and attributes.

public class Rectangle {
  int width;
  int height;

  // solid or dashed:
  boolean hasSolidBorder;
}

Objects and Classes
- ➟ Working with objects
  
  Classes and creation of related instances.
  
  The «new» operator.
  
  Assignment of attribute values. Working with «null».

Rectangle dashedRectangle = new Rectangle();

Rectangle solidRectangle = new Rectangle();

...

new class-name ([argument 1[, argument 2] ...] )

Wording examples:

“Create an instance of class Rectangle”.
“Create a Rectangle object.”
“Create a Rectangle”.

Rectangle dashedRectangle = new Rectangle();

dashedRectangle.width = 28;
dashedRectangle.height = 10;
dashedRectangle.hasSolidBorder = false;

Syntax accessing object attributes:

variable.attributeName = value;

Rectangle r = new Rectangle();// Creating an object

r.width = 28; // o.K.

r = null;// removing reference to object

r.width = 28; // Runtime error: NullPointerException (NPE)

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
  at de.hdm_stuttgart.mi.classdemo.App.main(App.java:17)

Rectangle r;

... // possible object assignment to variable r.

if (null == r) {
  System.out.println("No rectangle on offer");
} else {
  System.out.println("Width:" + r.width);
}

Objects and Classes
- ➟ Packages
  
  Significance for larger projects.
  
  Fully qualified vs. «import».
  
  java.lang and other exceptions.

Grouping of related classes (e.g. subsystems).
Structuring big systems.
Provide access restrictions using:

public, private and protected modifier
Resolving class name clashes. Example:

java.lang.String vs. my.personal.String

Package names below java. are reserved.
Package names should not start with javax. either.
Package names must not contain operators:

mi.hdm-stuttgart.de --> de.hdm_stuttgart.mi.
Packages should start with reversed DNS avoiding clashes.

Fully qualified class name:

java.util.Scanner ❶ scanner =          // Clumsy and
   new java.util.Scanner ❷(System.in); // redundant

Using import:

import java.util.Scanner; ❶

public class Q {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
     Scanner ❷ scanner = new Scanner ❷(System.in);
       ...
  }
}

Bad

Good

import java.util.*;

public class Q {
  public static void
        main(String[] args) {
    Scanner s = 
      new Scanner(System.in);
    Date today = new Date();
  }
}

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Date;

public class Q {
  public static void
         main(String[] args) {
    Scanner s =
       new Scanner(System.in);
    Date today = new Date();
  }
}

import java.lang.String; ❶  // Optional
import java.util.Scanner;❷  // Required
public class Q {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String message = "Hello!";
    Scanner ❸ s = new Scanner(System.in);
  }
}

package my.first.javapackage;
        ❷ ❸     ❹
public class Print { 
              ❺
  ...


}

Objects and Classes
- ➟ Object methods
  
  Object behaviour, state transitions, derived values.
  
  Selected examples both of state-changing and state-conserving methods.
  
  Rectangle sample methods.

Change an object's state.: Example: Scale a rectangle.
Get dependent values: Example: Calculate a rectangle's perimeter.
Combined: Scale a rectangle and calculate its new perimeter.

public class Rectangle {
    int width, height;
    boolean hasSolidBorder;

    public void scale (int factor) {
        width *= factor;
        height *= factor;
    }
}

void ❶ scale (int factor ❷) {
...}

❶	No value is being returned to caller.
❷	A single value of type `int` is being provided as method argument.

Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
r.width = 33;
r.height = 22;

r.scale(2);

System.out.println("width=" + r.width);
System.out.println("height=" + r.height);

width=66
height=44

public ❶ void ❷ scale❸ (int factor ❹) { ❺
   width *= factor; ❻
   height *= factor;
}

[access modifier] ❶ return_type ❷ methodName ❸ ([arguments] ❹) {❺
   [statement(s)] ❻
}

public class Rectangle {
    int width, height;
    boolean hasSolidBorder;

    public void scale (int factor) { ... }

    public int getPerimeter() {
        return 2 * (width + height);
    }
}

Rectangle r = new Rectangle();

r.width = 33;
r.height = 22;

System.out.println("Perimeter=" + r.getPerimeter());

Perimeter=110

Objects and Classes
- ➟ Object methods
  - ➟ Encapsulation and access control
    
    Justifying access restrictions.
    
    public, protected «package local» and private.
    
    Best practices.

Fine-grained control on attributes and methods.
Support encapsulation / Information hiding.

Purpose: Hide implementation details within class or package

public class DayTime {
  private int ❶ minutes_since_0_00;

  public int getMinute() { ❷
    return minutes_since_0_00 % 60;
  }
  public int getHour() {❷
    return minutes_since_0_00 / 60;
  }
}

public class DayTime {
  private int minute, hour;❶
         
  public int getMinute() { ❷
        return minute;
  }
  public int getHour() { ❷
        return hour;
  }
}

No access to private field of alien class Time:

public class Q {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

      Time t = new Time();

      // Error: 'minutes_since_0_00' has private access in 'Time'
      t.minutes_since_0_00 = 371;
  }
}

Access Level	Other package	Child class	Same package	Same class
`public`	yes	yes	yes	yes
`protected`	no	yes	yes	yes
Default	no	no	yes	yes
`private`	no	no	no	yes

Use the most restrictive access level that makes sense for a particular member.
Use private unless you have a good reason not to.
Avoid public fields except for constants. Public fields tend linking to a particular implementation and limit your flexibility in changing your code.

Objects and Classes
- ➟ Object methods
  - ➟ Getter and setter methods

Direct access Setter access

public class Time {
    public int hour, minute;
}

Time time = new Time();
    
time.hour = 17;
time.minute = 45;

public class Time {
    private int hour, minute;
    public void setTime(int h, int m) {
        minute = m;
        hour = h;
    }
}

Time time = new Time();
time.setTime(17, 45);

Allow for change of implementation.
Allow for non-business logic concerns. Examples:
- Logging
- Adding persistence (Databases)

public class Time {
    private int hour, minute;
    public void setTime(int h, int m) {
        minute = m;
        hour = h;
        System.out.println("Time has been set to " 
           + hour + ":" + minute);
    }
}

Direct access Setter / getter access

public class Time {
  // Minutes since 00:00
  public int minute;
}

final Time time = new Time();
time.minute = 17 * 60 + 45;

public class Time {
  private int minute;   // Minutes since 00:00
  public void set(int h, int m) {
    minute = m + 60 * h;
  }
  public int getMinute(){/* coming soon */}
  public int getHour(){/* coming soon */}
}

final Time time = new Time();
time.setTime(17, 45);

Implementing getter methods

    Type signatures.
    
    Method signatures: Prerequisite understanding method overloading.

boolean ❶ startsWith(String prefix, int toffset) ❷

❶	Return type boolean
❷	Arguments among with their respective types and order: Type `String` Type `int`

Method	Return type	Argument type list
`void print()`	void	(void)
`int add (int a, int b)`	int	(int, int)
`int max (int a, int b)`	int	(int, int)
`void print (int a, float b)`	void	(int, float)
`void display (float a, int b)`	void	(float, int)

boolean startsWith❶(String prefix, int toffset) ❷

❶	Method name `startsWith`.
❷	Number of arguments among with their respective types and order.

Method	Method name	Method signature
`void print()`	print	(void)
`int add (int a, int b)`	add	(int, int)
`int max (int a, int b)`	max	(int, int)
`void print (int a, float b)`	print	(int, float)

Return type	Method signature
Return type	Method name	Argument type list
String	getDetails	(void)
int	getDetails	(void)

Only method signature support in Java™ ignoring return type.

In Java™ method signatures allow for uniquely addressing a method within a given class e.g.:

The method named print having an int argument followed by a double:

print(int, double)

Will a match be found?

`print(boolean b)`	`print(char c)`
`print(char[] s)`	`print(double d)`
`print(float f)`	`print(int i)`
`print(long l)`	`print(Object obj)`
`print(String s)`

Objects and Classes
- ➟ Object methods
  - ➟ Constructors
    
    Combined instance creation and initialization.
    
    Constructors are methods, but ...
    
    Constructor overloading and a class' default constructor.

Combining statements desired:
`int a; a = 33;`	`Rectangle r = new Rectangle(); r.width = 28; r.height = 10; r.hasSolidBorder = false;`
`int a = 33; // works!`	Rectangle r = new Rectangle(28, 10, false);//how ???

public class Rectangle {
    int width, height;
    boolean hasSolidBorder;
         ...
    public ❶ Rectangle ❷ (int width, int height, boolean hasSolidBorder){
        this.width = width;
        this.height = height;
        this.hasSolidBorder = hasSolidBorder;
    }
}

[access modifier] constructorName (listOfArguments) {
    [constructor body]
}

Empty argument list

Default constructor e.g. obj = new MyClass().

Non-empty argument list

Non-default constructor e.g. :

obj = new String("xyz");

Can only be executed on object creation.
Are being called prior to any non-constructor method.
Only one of potentially multiple constructors will be executed exactly one time.

However nesting is possible.

Maximum: 5

Each club member has got a name.
Each member has got an ascending unique membership number.
The overall club's member count needs to be accounted for.

Solution:

Class level: Advance club's member count by each new member.
Instance level: New members receive name and current member count plus 1.

Objects and Classes
- ➟ Project dependencies and Maven
  - ➟ Intellij IDEA on top of Maven

- ➟ Unit testing
  
  Test categories.
  
  Why unit testing? Idea of test «driven development».
  
  Required steps.

Unit test: Test individual methods, classes and packages in isolation.
Integration Test: Test a group of associated components/classes.
Acceptance / Functional Test: Operate on a fully integrated system, testing against the user interface.
Regression Test: Ensure system integrity after (implementation) change.
Load test: Responsiveness vs. system load.

Informal problem specification:

A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself.

Sample values: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 23, ...

First write tests, then implement.

Specify but not yet implement classes / methods.
Write skeleton (dummy) implementations.
Write corresponding unit tests.
Implement skeleton.

int
long

float
double

char
boolean

Reference type: Holding a reference to an object

Array or class instances i.e. String, java.util.Scanner etc.

Value type

int a = 1;
int b = a;
a = 5;
System.out.println("a=" + a);
System.out.println("b=" + b);

a=5
b=1

Reference type

StringBuffer r = new StringBuffer("Joe");
StringBuffer s = r;
r.append(" Simpson");
System.out.println("r=" + r);
System.out.println("s=" + s);

r=Joe Simpson
s=Joe Simpson

public static void main(String[] args) {

     + value);
}
static void printDuplicateValue(int n) {
  n = 2 * n;
  System.out.println(
  "printDuplicateValue: " + n);
}

Before printDuplicateValue: 3
printDuplicateValue: 6
After printDuplicateValue: 3

public static void main(String[] args) {
  StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer("My");
  System.out.println("Before duplicateString: "
    + buffer);
  duplicateString(buffer);
  System.out.println("After duplicateString: "
    + buffer);
}
static void duplicateString(StringBuffer b) {
    b.append(b); // Append self

Before duplicateString: My
After duplicateString: MyMy

public static void main(String[] args) {
  StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer("My");
  System.out.println("Before duplicateString: "
    + buffer);
  replaceString(buffer);
  System.out.println("After duplicateString: "
    + buffer);
}
static void replaceString(StringBuffer b) {

Before duplicateString: My
After duplicateString: My

int a = 1;

int &b = a;  

cout << a << " : " << b << endl;

a = 5;

cout << a << " : " << b << endl;

  }
}

❶	Class scope.
❷	Instance scope
❸	Method scope

Class scope (`static`)	Application process
Instance scope	Object lifetime: `new (...)` until being garbage collected.
Method scope	Method invocation until `return`.

Heap memory

Allocation of class or array instances:

new String()

new float[200]

De-allocation subject to garbage collection.

Execution stack

One instance per process thread.
Hosting variables (values or references)

Method	Description	Precondition	Access type
`push(...)`	Add object on top	-	Modify
`pop()`	Read + remove topmost object	Stack not empty	Modify
`top()`	Read topmost object	Stack not empty	Read only
`empty()`	`true` if and only if stack is empty	-	Read only

Objects and Classes
- ➟ Enumerations (enum)
  - ➟ Enumeration by dedicated class
    
    Representing enumeration values by instances gaining type safety.
    
    Partial problem solution.

Roadmap:

Define a dedicated enumeration representing class.
Create exactly one class instance per enumeration value.
Enumeration value equality comparison by virtue of the == operator.

public class Day {

  static public final Day
    MONDAY    = new Day(),
    TUESDAY   = new Day(),
    WEDNESDAY = new Day(),
    THURSDAY  = new Day(),
    FRIDAY    = new Day(),
    SATURDAY  = new Day(),
    SUNDAY    = new Day();
}

Note: Class without instance attributes.

Reverting to if .. else if ...

public static String getDaysName(final Day day) {
  if (MONDAY == day) {  // Switch no longer possible, sigh!
    return "Monday";
  } else if (TUESDAY == day) {
      ...
  } else if (SUNDAY == day) {
    return "Sunday";
  } else {
    return "Illegal day instance: " + day;
  }
}

/**
 * Charge double prices on weekends
 * @param day Day of week
 * @param amount
 * @return the effective amount depending on day of week.
 */
static public int getPrice(final Day day, final int amount) {
  if (Day.SATURDAY == day || Day.SUNDAY == day) {
    return 2 * amount;
  } else {
    return amount;
  }
}

Preventing method argument order mismatch:

// Class Driver

// o.K.
System.out.println(Screwed2.getPrice(Day.SUNDAY,  2));

// Argument mismatch causing compile time type violation error
System.out.println(Screwed2.getPrice(2, Day.SUNDAY));

Class Screwed:

final Day PAST_SUNDAY = new Day();

final Lecture phpIntro = new Lecture(
     PAST_SUNDAY, "PHP introduction");

On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        Math.class
        Print.class

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

Math.class and Print.class are being generated from Math.java and Print.java.
Rule of thumb: Do not version dependent objects.

Solution: Add a .gitignore file to versioning to contain:

# ignore generated .class files
*.class

Note: checking out '7f119fac36e02e4c5a7f04f022217b6f744d6e1d'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

HEAD is now at 7f119fa Project Readme.md

git checkout master
Previous HEAD position was 7f119fa Project Readme.md
Switched to branch 'master'
