I'm having problems understanding Java oop though.if you have any resource that would help me understand the Java oop, I'll appreciate. thanks |

^^^^^^ http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_basic_syntax.htm The above link contains the core-java concepts which you should master...... also check out http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ this is the home page of the website which contains almost all programming languages.... Since you have started on java, practice as much as possible and then next will be SQL.....and after you can progress to J2EE (CAVEAT: J2EE concepts are advanced and should be only learnt if you want to earn a living from JAVA) And as per you GPA app, i think you meant "GPA program" lol... 1 Like |

Please fellow programmers, how does one go about this Java oop, seriously, I'm down with the step by step procedural method of programming in Java, buh as soon as I delved into oop part of Java, everything started going vague and the books started sounding gibberish and incoherent, literally though! I'm learning Java myself, so if anyone could help out on me straightening my part and settling my differences with Java oop, I'll be grateful.....worthy of note though, that Java is my first programming language |

Please, so as not to be misquoted/misjudged, I've read articles on oop, and gotten most of the basic /key concepts, buh my problem lies in using this concepts, eg creating new objects like account savings = new account (); or declaring methods eg say I have a class with public void accDisplay(){ System.out.printing("display acc" } and having sumfin like savings.accDisplay(); I know what that does, buh in instances where I see values inside the "()" and stuffs like "return", it goes jittery...... hope someone helps me clear this oop issues, thanks |

@DarkPoet a quick treatise Class dog{ public String makeNoise(String message){ return message; } Class cat{ public String makeNoise(String message){ return message; } } Class AnimalNoises{ Dog newDog =new Dog(); newDog.makeNoise( "Woof woof" ); or Cat newCat=new Cat(); newCat.makeNoise( "Meow meow" ); when you print both the results of the makeNoise methods, you'll have Woof woof Meow Meow } A typical method is of the format-------- <Access> <Return TYPE> <methodname> <Arguments> where <Access> signifies how visible it would be to other classes (public, private, protected etc) <Return type> this tells you in what "format" the method would return its message. When this is void, it means that there would be no returned value, but typical returned values are String, int, float, decimal etc <methodname> this is the name of the method..any name can do <Arguements> in parenethesis usually contains values that you would want to pass into the method usually a String, integer etc . Take the methods (makenoise)in the example above... you have the signature thus: Public String makenoise(String message) and then in the body you have a return ...The return mandates that whenever the method is called, it must return a message. and when the method is called in the Animal class (newDog.makeNoise and newCat.makeNoise)...you can see that the values in the bracket are Strings... this is returned also ...hence when you print the methods, the return the value of the String you passed in. Thats all for now... |

2s£xy:Age is an excuse William Haskell Alsup at learn Java program at the age of 67, William Haskell Alsup is the judge behind the Oracle vs Google Java, Android patent case. So what is your friend excuse for not learning to program at the age of 30+.
