Question

New to JAVA: Trying to learn on my own.

Asked by: -CyberIT-

I bought this used book to learn JAVA on my own, Dummies of Java. However this one example Im trying to do is missing information. I thought I would come here for help, the internet had nothing! Im trying to do do a Money class program with examples of the following:

·         Objects (instances)
·         Instance Variables (attributes or properties)
·         Methods
·         Messages
·         Interfaces
·         Encapsulation
·         Inheritance
·         Polymorphism

Can someone please work with me on this example. I find JAVA to be very interesting but Im stuck.

Thanks!

Please post your work so far

That is the thing I dont have much at all... Im stuck!  Dont even know where to begin.

Thanks... I have been there!

You need to get the basic OO concepts first:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/concepts/index.html

 

by: CodeFishPosted on 2009-01-11 at 13:15:37ID: 23349754

What about the Sun tutorials don't you understand?

Like CEHJ suggested, post some work related to what you are stuck on

Everything you've listed should be found at the Sun tutorials,

e.g., Objects:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/objects.html



 

by: -CyberIT-Posted on 2009-01-11 at 13:26:45ID: 23349789

Thanks... I will check them out again and let you know!

 

by: CodeFishPosted on 2009-01-11 at 15:10:24ID: 23350147

The link CEHJ provided is probably the best place to start. It deals with programming concepts without using a whole lot of code.

>Thanks... I have been there!

I've been there too! Many times. I still frequent the Sun tutorials and don't fully understand it all. I could not explain java better. I know that it can be confusing and frustrating. You might want to try rewriting (in your own words) what you are learning. I've always found that effective. You might even want to post your own summary of a concept for experts to comment on.

Thanks for the question -CyberIT-,
You are not the only one who is here to learn!

Let kick start the first 3 examples & we leave the rest to you.

The code below would have tackle the point 1-3
· Objects (instances)
    A object named Money
· Instance Variables (attributes or properties)
    With 1 variable currency
· Methods
    Get the currency

public class Money{
  private String currency = ""

  public Money(String currency){
    this.currency = currency;
  }

  public String getCurrency(){
    return currency;
  }
}


You have 5 more to go & of course to improve the code further
· Messages
· Interfaces
· Encapsulation
· Inheritance
· Polymorphism

Hope this with encourage u to add on.

All the expert here will be glad to comment on your work.

Quick question... Would a message be something that would be printed to the screen?

 

by: CodeFishPosted on 2009-01-12 at 07:21:23ID: 23353875

It depends on the context. There are advance messaging APIs that I won't comment on here. In general I would say that a message can be printed to screen in one of two ways -command-line (System.out.println("message");) or gui (http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Swing-JFC/HelloWorldSwing.htm).

However, in the context of OOP you may be reading about sending a message to an object. You can pass information to an object, or call one of an objects methods. What are you reading in relation to messages?

You mentioned that you were reading "Dummies of Java" (Translation?). I think you meant "Java for Dummies". How old is the book? If it is 10 years old you are better off learning Java from online sites.

Can anyone help me through these errors??  I will post my code too.
