Java Super Keyword

 



    Before start this discussion , you want to know about method override. For that you can read my previous blog.

https://rkavidu222.blogspot.com/2024/01/basics-of-method-overriding-in-java.html    



Super Keyword:-

    It is used to call parent class methods, and to access the parent class constructor. The most common use of the super keyword is to eliminate the confusion between parent classes and child classes that have methods with the same name(overriding).




1. Access Overridden Methods of the superclass
    If methods with the same name are defined in both superclass and subclass, the method in the subclass overrides the method in the superclass. This is called method overriding.


2. Access Attributes of the Superclass
    The superclass and subclass can have attributes with the same name. We use the super keyword to access the attribute of the superclass.


3. Use of super() to access superclass constructor
    As we know, when an object of a class is created, its default constructor is automatically called.



    super keyword is a powerful tool in Java's object-oriented programming paradigm, providing a means to navigate and interact with the hierarchy of classes, facilitating code organization, readability, and reuse.

අද අපි කතා කරමු Data collections ගැන

 අද අපි කතා කරමු Data collections ගැන. Data Collections ගැන කතා කරන්න කලින් අපි කතා කරමු Data Arrays ගැන. Data Array එකක් කියන්නෙ එකම වර්ගයේ Data අනුපිළිවෙලකට ගබඩා කරන්න පුලුවන් දාත්ත ව්‍යූහයක්(Data Structure). Array එකේ Type එක String නම් ඒකෙ තියෙන්න පුලුවන් String Data විතරයි. Array එකක් නිර්මාණය කරද්දි ඒකට අදාලව Fixed Size එකක් දෙන්න ඕනි. Array එකක් හැදුවට පස්සෙ අපට Array එක වෙනස් කරන්න බෑ. ex:-  int[] array = new int[5];         array[0] = 1;                 array[1] = 2;                 array[2] = 3;                 array[3] = 4;                 array[4] = 5; එතකොට මොනාද මේ Array වල තියෙන ප්‍රශ්න?      මම මුලින් කිව්වා වගේ Array එකක් හදනකොට අපි ඒකට Fixed Size එකක් දෙන්න ඕනි. දැන් ඔයාලා හිතන්නකො අපි Size එක 5ක් වෙන Array එකක් හදනවා integer වලින්. එතකොට අපිට ඒ Array එකට ඇඩ් කර...

Understanding and Mastering Coding Errors

 Understanding and Mastering Coding Errors      Coding errors are an inevitable part of the software development journey. Whether you're a novice programmer or a seasoned developer, encountering errors is something you can count on. But rather than seeing them as roadblocks, errors can be powerful learning tools that help you write better code.      There are 3 main types of errors.                     1.Syntax Errors 2.Logical Errors 3.Runtime Errors 1.Syntax Errors:-      Syntax errors occur when the code violates the rules of the programming language. These errors are usually detected by the compiler during the initial stages of program execution. Common examples include missing semicolons, mismatched parentheses, or misspelled keywords.               Above code, semicolon is missed. That is a syntax error. If there any syntax er...

Key Points Of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) Object Oriented Programming:- It is a computer programming model based on object. We can use it in various programming languages to develop a program.  Building Blocks of OOP Object:-             Object can be define as data field that has unique attributes and behaviors.              Objects can correspond to real-world objects or an abstract entity.      2.Class:-              Class  is a sketch used to implement an object at the programming level.               And also we an define class as "A template that can keep the things what we need".   3.Method:-                A method in OOP is a block of code that, when called, performs specific actions mentioned in it.    4.Variable:- ...
