Java Exception Handling Cheat Sheet

1. What is OOP?

OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects which contain data

and methods.

Core principles: Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Abstraction.

2. Encapsulation

- Wrapping data and methods into a single unit (class)

- Keeps data safe from outside interference

Example:

class Student {

private int age;

public void setAge(int a) { age = a; }

public int getAge() { return age; }

3. Inheritance

- Acquiring properties from a parent class

- Promotes code reuse

Example:

class Animal {

void sound() { [Link]("Animal sound"); }

class Dog extends Animal {

void bark() { [Link]("Dog barks"); }

4. Polymorphism
Java Exception Handling Cheat Sheet

- One interface, many implementations

- Two types: Compile-time (method overloading) and Runtime (method overriding)

Example of Overloading:

class Math {

int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }

double add(double a, double b) { return a + b; }

Example of Overriding:

class Animal {

void sound() { [Link]("Animal sound"); }

class Dog extends Animal {

void sound() { [Link]("Dog barks"); }

5. Abstraction

- Hiding implementation details and showing only functionality

- Achieved using abstract classes or interfaces

Example using abstract class:

abstract class Shape {

abstract void draw();

class Circle extends Shape {

void draw() { [Link]("Drawing circle"); }

6. Class and Object


Java Exception Handling Cheat Sheet

- Class: Blueprint of an object

- Object: Instance of a class

Example:

class Car {

String color;

void drive() { [Link]("Driving..."); }

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Car myCar = new Car();

[Link]();

7. Constructors

- Special method to initialize objects

- Same name as class

- No return type

Example:

class Car {

Car() {

[Link]("Car is created");

8. Access Modifiers

- Controls access to classes, methods, and variables


Java Exception Handling Cheat Sheet

Types:

- private: Accessible only within the class

- default: Accessible within the package

- protected: Accessible within package and subclasses

- public: Accessible from everywhere

9. Best Practices

- Use meaningful class and method names

- Keep class responsibility limited (Single Responsibility Principle)

- Use interfaces for flexibility

- Prefer composition over inheritance

- Keep fields private and use getters/setters
