25. Object-Oriented Program Development Using Java: A Class-Centered Approach, Enhanced Edition25 Constructing a Data Declaration Section: Variables Values in computer program are stored and retrieved from computer’s memory unit Variable: –Name given by programmer –Refers to computer storage locations that store primitive data type value Selection of variable names is left to programmer

26. Object-Oriented Program Development Using Java: A Class-Centered Approach, Enhanced Edition26 Declaration Statements Naming variable and specifying data type Syntax: –optionalAccessSpecifier dataType variableName; Example: –private int sum; Initial value: –Declaration and initialization in one line of code –private int num1 = 15;

27. Object-Oriented Program Development Using Java: A Class-Centered Approach, Enhanced Edition27 Constructing a Data Declaration Section Classifications of variables: –Instance –Class –Local –Parameter Dependent on: –Variable placement within class –Presence or absence of reserved word static

28. Object-Oriented Program Development Using Java: A Class-Centered Approach, Enhanced Edition28 Constructing a Data Declaration Section (continued) Table 2.8: Determination of Variable Types

29. Object-Oriented Program Development Using Java: A Class-Centered Approach, Enhanced Edition29 Creating Objects Objects –Only created from instance variables declared in data declaration section or from other object types Methods –Provide operations that can be applied to created objects or create general-purpose functions Independent of any one object
