Java 11 Cookbook

Fast Track to OOP - Classes and Interfaces

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Implementing Object-Oriented Design (OOD)
  • Using inner classes
  • Using inheritance and aggregation
  • Coding to an interface
  • Creating interfaces with default and static methods
  • Creating interfaces with private methods
  • A better way to work with nulls using Optional
  • Using the utility class Objects

The recipes in this chapter do not require any prior knowledge of OOD. However, some experience of writing code in Java would be beneficial. The code samples in this chapter are fully functional and compatible with Java 11. For better understanding, we recommend that you try to run the presented examples.

We also encourage you to adapt the tips and recommendations in this chapter to your needs in the context of your team experience. Consider sharing your newfound knowledge with your colleagues...

Introduction

This chapter gives you a quick introduction to the concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP) and covers some enhancements that have been introduced since Java 8. We will also try to cover a few good OOD practices wherever applicable and demonstrate them using specific code examples.

One can spend many hours reading articles and practical advice on OOD in books and on the internet. Doing this can be beneficial for some people. But, in our experience, the fastest way to get hold of OOD is to try its principles early in your own code. That is exactly the goal of this chapter—to give you a chance to see and use the OOD principles so that the formal definition makes sense immediately.

One of the main criteria of well-written code is the clarity of the intent. A well-motivated and clear design helps achieve this. The code is run by a computer, but it is maintained...

Implementing object-oriented design (OOD)

In this recipe, you will learn the first two OOP conceptsobject/class and encapsulation. These concepts are at the foundation of OOD.

Getting ready

The term object usually refers to an entity that couples data and procedures that can be applied to this data. Neither data nor procedures are required, but one of them isand, typically, both arealways present. The data is called object fields (or properties), while procedures are called methods. Field values describe the object's state. Methods describe the object's behavior. Every object has a type, which is defined by its classthe template used for the object's creation. An object is also...

Using inner classes

In this recipe, you will learn about three types of inner classes:

  • Inner class: This is a class defined inside another (enclosing) class. Its accessibility from outside the enclosing class is regulated by the public, protected, and private access modifiers. An inner class can access the private members of the enclosing class, and the enclosing class can access the private members of its inner class, but a private inner class or private members of a non-private inner class cannot be accessed from outside the enclosing class.
  • Method-local inner class: This is a class defined inside a method. Its accessibility is restricted to within the method.
  • Anonymous inner class: This is a class without a declared name that's defined during object instantiation based on the interface only or the extended class.

...

Using inheritance and aggregation

In this recipe, you will learn more about two important OOP concepts, inheritance and polymorphism, which have been mentioned already and used in the examples of the previous recipes. Together with aggregation, these concepts make the design more extensible.

Getting ready

Inheritance is the ability of one class to get ownership of the non-private fields and methods of another class.

The extended class is called the base class, superclass, or parent class. The new extension of the class is called a subclass or child class.

Polymorphism is the ability to use the base class type for the reference to an object of its subclass.

To demonstrate the power of inheritance and polymorphism, let&apos...

Coding to an interface

In this recipe, you will learn the last of the OOP concepts, called interface, and further practice the usage of aggregation and polymorphism as well as inner classes and inheritance.

Getting ready

An interface defines the signatures of the methods one can expect to see in the class that implements the interface. It is the public face of the functionality that's accessible to a client and is thus often called an Application Program Interface (API). It supports polymorphism and aggregation, and facilitates a more flexible and extensible design.

An interface is implicitly abstract, which means it cannot be instantiated. No object can be created based on an interface only, without implementing it...

Creating interfaces with default and static methods

In this recipe, you will learn about two new features that were first introduced in Java 8—the default and static methods in an interface.

Getting ready

A default method in an interface allows us to add a new method signature without changing the classes that have implemented this interface before a new method signature was added. The method is called default because it provides functionality in case this method is not implemented by the class. If, however, the class implements it, the interface's default implementation is ignored and overridden by the class implementation.

A static method in an interface can provide functionality in the same way a static method...

Creating interfaces with private methods

In this recipe, you will learn about a new feature that was introduced in Java 9, the private interface method, which is of two types—static and non-static.

Getting ready

A private interface method must have an implementation (a body with a code). A private interface method not used by other methods of the same interface does not make sense. The purpose of a private method is to contain functionality that is common between two or more methods with a body in the same interface or to isolate a section of code in a separate method for better structure and readability. A private interface method cannot be overridden—not by a method of any other interface, nor by a method in...

A better way to work with nulls using Optional

In this recipe, you will learn how to use the java.util.Optional class for representing optional values instead of using null references. It was introduced in Java 8 and further enhanced in Java 9—where three more methods were added—or(), ifPresentOrElse(), and stream(). We will demonstrate all of them.

Getting ready

The Optional class is a wrapper around a value, which can be null or a value of any type. It was intended to help to avoid the dreaded NullPointerException. But, so far, the introduction of Optional helped to accomplish it only to a degree and mostly in the area of streams and functional programming.

The vision that motivated the creation of the Optional...

I don't understand how this book made it into print. It is filled with errors and awful advice. Almost ever few pages I want to set the book on fire.For example, let's look at the treatment of 'var' which was added in Java 10. The authors list all the different ways you can use var, including (cover your eyes):var var = 1:andpackage com.packt.cookbook.var:Why would you even suggest the first example or include the completely irrelevant second one?Next example: They discuss the Epsilon garbage collector (which is used for tuning and actually never collects garbage). They write an overly complex loop to allocate 4GB and they run it with a 4GB heap. When the allocations cause a memory error, they simply assert that is what they were expecting. That a reader unfamiliar with GC would want to know why allocating the full available space would cause an error apparently doesn't cross their minds. The reader is left to guess why they were expecting it. To top it off, as printed, the command-line options to run Epsilon contain a typo.Their discussion of Optional: "It was intended to help avoid the dreaded NullPointerException. But so far, the introduction of Optional helped to accomplish it only to a degree and mostly in the area of streams" They later repeat that it's not terribly useful when not used in streams. But they don't understand that *the whole intent* of Optional was precisely to be used in collections and streams. So the repeated complaints and general dismissal of Optional demonstrate ignorance rather than insight. Optional is a super-useful tool when working with streams.Even facts that would have been trivial to check are wrong (and this is a second edition!). For example, the first sentence on the back cover: "For more than three decades, Java has been at the forefront..." Java is about to celebrate its 25th birthday. More than three decades?The whole book is like this. I can't say that every page has a technical problem, but many sections do.Finally, there is the language. Neither author is a native speaker nor is the technical editor. And apparently no editor cleaned up the language after the authors turned in the drafts. There are many twisted sentences, others where subjects or verbs are missing, others where an expression is misused--all leading to frustrating lack of clarity at crucial points.Top to bottom, this book should be avoided.If you're looking for a good recipe book, I recommend Ken Kousen's "Modern Java Recipes" It doesn't go through Java 11, but everything in it is technically correct and the writing is clear.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
