inheritance

INHERITANCE:-Inheritance is the process of code re-usability, using this property software or applications can develop in less time or can develop rapidly. Inheritance increases the readability of code and decrease redundancy or repetition of code or reduces size of code.
Use of previously developed code in future any number of times is called inheritance. Through inheritance variables and methods of class can inherited.

Types of Inheritance:-
1)      Single or Single level inheritance
2)      Multilevel inheritance
3)      Hierarchical inheritance

Java does not support to multiple inheritance.

Single or single level inheritance:-In a single inheritance a class is inherited by a single class. In a single or single level inheritance a sub class having only one super class directly or indirectly.
Syntax: -        class Subclass extends Superclass
Here extends is a keyword used for inheritance in java language.

Example1:-Sum of two numbers without using inheritance.


class Student
{
int a,b;
void sum()
{
a=10;
b=20;
System.out.println("sum= "+(a+b));
}
public static void main(String[]args)
{
Student s=new Student();
s.sum();
}
}

Output:-

C:\JAVATECH>javac Student.java
C:\JAVATECH>java Student

sum= 30


Here Student class have a code to do sum of two numbers, if another class like Test want to perform same operation (sum of two numbers) than Test class minimum required two variables for holding values and a function to perform addition of variables.


Example2:-Student.java


class Test
{
int a,b;
void add()
{
a=100;
b=200;
System.out.println("sum of = "+(a+b));
}
}
class Student
{
int a,b;
void sum()
{
a=10;
b=20;
System.out.println("sum= "+(a+b));
}
public static void main(String[]args)
{

Student s=new Student();
s.sum();
Test t=new Test();
t.add();
}
}

Output:-

C:\JAVATECH>javac Student.java
C:\JAVATECH>java Student

sum= 30
sum of = 300


In the above example both the classes perform same operation and sum method of Student class, add method of Test class having same code or duplicate code.


Example3:- Sum of two numbers using inheritance.

class Test extends Student
{
}
class Student
{
int a,b;
void sum()
{
a=10;
b=20;
System.out.println("sum= "+(a+b));
}
public static void main(String[]args)
{

Student s=new Student();
s.sum();
Test t=new Test();
t.sum();
}
}

Output:-

C:\JAVATECH>javac Student.java
C:\JAVATECH>java Student

sum= 30
sum= 30


Example4:- Sum of two numbers using inheritance.


class Student
{
int a,b;
void sum()
{
a=10;
b=20;
System.out.println("sum= "+(a+b));
}
public static void main(String[]args)
{

Student s=new Student();
s.sum();
Test t=new Test();
t.sum();
}
}
class Test extends Student
{
}

Output:-

C:\JAVATECH>javac Student.java
C:\JAVATECH>java Student
sum= 30
sum= 30


Example5:- Sum of two numbers using inheritance (Test1.java).


class Student
{
int a,b;
void sum()
{
a=10;
b=20;
System.out.println("sum= "+(a+b));
}
}
class Test extends Student
{
}
class Test1
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
Test t=new Test();
t.sum();
}
}

Output:-

C:\JAVATECH>javac Test1.java
C:\JAVATECH>java Test1


sum= 30

Inner classes

Inner Classes:- class inside class or interface called inner class or nested class. Advantage of inner classes is grouping multiple classes and interfaces into a single class. Another big advantage of inner class is that inner class can happily access all the data or variables of outer class directly. Types of Nested classes:- There are two types of nested classes static and non-static nested classes. (A)Non –static inner classes:- 1)     Member inner class 2)     Anonymous inner class 3)     Local inner class (B)Static nested class Example1:-Outer.java class Outer { class Inner { void disp() { System.out.println("Hello This is Inner class Method"); } } public static void main(String[]args) { Inner in=new Inner(); in.disp(); } } Output:- C:\JAVATECH>javac Outer.java Outer.java:12: error: non-static variable this cannot be referenced from a static context Inner in=new Inner(); ...

Inheritance-4

Example10:- class Student { Student() { System.out.println("This is super class Zero argument constructor"); } Student(String s) { System.out.println("This is super class One argument constructor"); } } class Test extends Student { Test() { super(null); System.out.println("This is sub class Zero argument constructor"); } public static void main(String[]args) { Test t=new Test(); } } Output:- C:\JAVATECH>javac Test.java C:\JAVATECH>java Test This is super class One argument constructor This is sub class Zero argument constructor Example11:- class Student { Student() { System.out.println("This is super class Zero argument constructor"); } Student(String s) { System.out.println("This is super class One argument constructor"); } } class Test extends Student { Test() { super(); super(null); System.out.println("This is su...

Object,Data Hiding

Object:- Object is real time entity exist in the real world , the basic purpose of object is to transfer data from one location to another location.object is small memory , allocated inside primary memory(RAM).in java object created inside heap memory,actually in java RAM memory  is divided into some segment according to the type of variables for example. RAM==>Heap area+Stack area+String constant pool+class area  etc. when object created then inside object only non static class variables occupied memory and initialize with default values. non static class variables also known as instance variable reside into object in heap area,static variables occupied memory in class area at the time of class loading from HARD disk to RAM and all local variables occupied memory in stack area when reaching to variables. object  created from the class then what object contains is depend on class structure or class members.             ...
