CPE207 Object Oriented Programming (Week 6)

Here is the Person class with 4 constructors as specified: class Person { int id; String firstName; String lastName; int age; Person(int id, String firstName, String lastName, int age) { this.id = id; this.firstName = firstName; this.lastName = lastName; this.age = age; } Person(String firstName, String lastName) { this.id = id++; this.firstName = firstName; this.lastName = lastName; this.age = 0; } Person(int id) { this.id = id; this.firstName =

Deeper in classes:
this() & toString()

this() constr uctor s are used to call (invoke) an alter nate constr uctor of the same class.

 If you want to represent any object as a class Student{
int rollno;
string, toString() method comes into String name;
existence. Student(int rollno, String name){
this.rollno=rollno;
 toString() returns a string representation of this.name=name;
the object. }

 In general, the toString method returns a public String toString(){


return rollno+" "+name+" "+city;
string that "textually represents" this }
object.
public static void main(String args[]){
 If you print any object, java compiler Student s1=new Student(101,“Jack",“Sparrow");
internally invokes the toString() method on Student s2=new Student(102,“Johnny",“Cash");

the object. System.out.println(s1);


 We will mention it again in polymorphism. //compiler writes here s1.toString()
System.out.println(s2);
//compiler writes here s2.toString()
}
}
OUTPUT:

 Every object uses system resources, such as memory.
• Wee need to give resources back to the system when they’re no
longer needed; otherwise, “resource leaks” might occur.
(OutOfMemoryErrors)

• In C/C++, programmer is responsible for both creation and destruction of objects.


• [int *ptr; ptr = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int)); *ptr = 25; free(ptr); ]

 But, The JVM performs automatic garbage collection to destroys the objects no longer in
use.
• When there are no more references to an object, the object is
eligible to be collected. Collection typically occurs when the
JVM executes its garbage collector.
• Main objective of Garbage Collector is to free heap memory by
destroying unreachable objects.

6
 Every class in Java has the methods of class Object (package
java.lang), one of which is method finalize.
 finalize allows the garbage collector to perform termination
housekeeping on an object just before reclaiming the object’s
memory.
 You should never use method finalize, because it can cause many
problems and there’s uncertainty as to whether it will ever get called
before a program terminates.

player1 wins
 If the pair is player1 is rock and player2 is scissors then
player1 wins
 If Player1 is same as player2, then draw!

 Create a class called Person where, id, firstName,
lastName, and age attributes are declared.
 Create four constructors
◦ In first, set all attributes;
◦ In the second, assign only first and last names,
automatically increment id and age will be set to zero;
◦ In the third, only set id, and set rest to default values;
◦ Int the last only increment id, set the rest to default
values.
