Principles of Computer Programming(using Java)Chapter 10 Subclasses Haidong Xue Summer 2011, at GSU
Content • Inheritance • Overriding • Polymorphism • The “Object” class
Inheritance • What is inheritance? • What are the advantages of inheritance in Java? • How to make a class in Java using inheritance? • E.g.: • TestInheritance.java, Vehicle.java, Car.java, Bike.java
Inheritance Car Data: speed, weight, gas amount, size of tires Actions: show speed, show weight, accelerate, brake, add gas, show tire size
Inheritance Bike Data: speed, weight, size of tires, size of pedals Actions: show speed, show weight, accelerate, brake, show tire size, show pedal size
Inheritance Car Bike Data: speed, weight, gas amount, size of tires Actions: show speed, show weight, accelerate, brake, add gas, show tire size Data: speed, weight, size of tires, size of pedals Actions: show speed, show weight, accelerate, brake, show tire size, show pedal size
Inheritance Data: speed, weight, size of tires Actions: show speed, show weight, accelerate, brake, show tire size Vehicle extends Car Data: gas amount Actions: add gas Bike Data: size of pedals Actions: show pedal size
Inheritance • TestInheritance.java • Vehicle.java • Car.java • Bike.java
Overriding • If a method in the subclass has the same signature of a method in the superclass, the method in the superclass is hided and overridden. • E.g.: • TestOverriding.java • Vehicle.java, Car.java, Bike.java
Polymorphism • An ability of a programming language; • an instance of a subclass can take the placeof an instance of any of its superclasses; • if an object variable of the superclass points to a subclass object, when calling an overridden method, the method of the subclass will be called.

The Object class • What is Object class? • A rule: all the classes have to have a superclass. • The Object class is the default superclass. • What are the advantages? • One type for all; • Some common method for all the objects, like toString().
