4. What is design? Requirements vs. Design: what vs. how.
In design we create a system that will offer services to customers based on their statement of requirements.
Course: Object-oriented analysis and design.
Hence familiarity with OO programming is essential.

6. OOP Reference
Program Development in Java: Abstraction, Specification, and Object-oriented Design by Liskov and Guttag. AW 2001.
Much of what follows is summarized from this book.

7. Object-oriented languages: basic notions
Basic notions: object, classes.
Every object is an instance of a class.
Most data is contained in objects.
Objects contain both state and operations
Operations are called methods.
Objects interact by invoking methods.
Methods allow the objects state to be accessed and possibly changed.

8. Objects Have secrets Offer services to other objects in its community.
They can hide e.g. data or even algorithm details.
Offer services to other objects in its community.

9. Java Programs Consist of classes and interfaces.
A class can be used to
Hold collections of procedures (static methods), or
Define new data types.
Interfaces can also be used to define new types.

10. Methods
Most of the text in a class or interface file will consists of method definitions.
Methods can accept parameters and return results.
Arguments are passed by “value”.

12. Objects and Variables All data is access by means of variables.
Local variables (including method parameters) are allocated on the runtime stack.
Every variable has a declared type that is either
Primitive type (int, char).
Reference type (int [], String, any class type).
Variables of
Primitive types contain values.
Reference types contain references to objects that are stored in the system heap.

13. Stack and Heap Heap Stack [2,1,0] i j a b 3 s t SOEN 343, © P.Chalin,

14. Stack and Heap: Exercise
Given the following declarations
int i = 6;
int j;
int a[] = {1,2,3};
int[] b = new int[2];
String s = “abc”;
String t = null;
what will be the state of the stack and heap after they have all been processed?

16. Type Hierarchy Every class is a subclass of Object.
If S is a subclass of T then we can use an instance of S where ever a T is expected:
T t = new S();
Object o = new S();
Object o = new String(“abc”);

17. Method Invocations & Field Access
static
non-static

18. Static Methods & Fields
The method called depends on the declared type of the variable (not the run-time type of the referenced object).
Like a “global” procedure and/or variable.

19. Class P – i.e. Parent class
class P { static int rate = 1; static String m1() {return “P.m1”} static String m2() { ... } String r1() {… "P.r1:“ + rate;} String r2() { … } }

20. Class C – i.e. Child class
class C extends P { static int rate = 2; static String m1() {return “C.m1”} String r1() {… “C.r1:"+rate;} }

21. Main Class, part I P p = new C(); println(p.m1()); println(p.m2());
println(p.r1());
println(p.r2());
println(p.rate);

22. Main Class, part II C c = new C(); println(c.m1()); println(c.m2());
println(c.r1());
println(c.r2());
println(c.rate);

23. Dynamic Dispatching Now consider String s = “abc”; Object o = s;
… o.equals(s);
