    Learning Practice

  • 5.3

    Object Initialization

    This section explains the concept of object initialization in Java, focusing on constructors as special methods that set up new objects.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.3.1

    Constructor Methods

    Constructor methods are special methods used to initialize objects in Java, called automatically when an object is created.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.3.2

    Example Of Constructor Initialization

    This section explains how constructors are used in Java to initialize object attributes.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.4

    Methods Of An Object

    This section introduces methods in object-oriented programming, explaining their role in defining the behaviors of objects.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.4.1

    What Is A Method?

    A method is a function defined within a class in Java that describes the object's behavior and can manipulate its data.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.4.2

    Example Of Method In A Class

    This section discusses methods in Java, highlighting their purpose, declaration style, and practical examples using the Car class.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.5

    The This Keyword

    The `this` keyword in Java is used to refer to the current object instance, helping to differentiate between instance variables and parameters that share the same name.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.5.1

    What Is The This Keyword?

    The 'this' keyword in Java refers to the current object instance, allowing clear differentiation between instance variables and parameters.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.5.2

    Example Of Using This Keyword

    The 'this' keyword in Java is utilized to reference the current object instance, crucial for distinguishing between instance variables and method parameters.

    Learning Practice

  • 5.5.3

    Purpose Of This

    The section explains the significance of the 'this' keyword in Java, emphasizing its role in referring to instance variables.
