OOPs.. Is Java a pure Object Oriented Language?

Object Oriented Programming

Object Oriented Programming or OOPs is a programming model which is based on the Objects. 

We probably have to talk about the Class before we talk about an Object. 

In simple, A class can be considered as a blueprint or template which defines attributes (or variables), members and/or functions containing the behavior of the class. A class doesn't hold or contain any data as is, an instance of the class is to be created to hold and/or process the data. 

An Object is an instance of the class, which by default contains the instance of the variables and/or members defined as part of the class. 

Any number of objects can be created from a class and each object occupies separate storage and contains different data. 

E.g.: Class is like a blueprint of a house. Object is a house constructed physically based on the blueprint. Any numbers of houses can be constructed with the same blueprint.  

Is Java a pure Object Oriented Language? 

We can say Java is a Object Oriented Language, Any functionality that is to be run needs to be defined in a class and corresponding methods/functions. 

There is one thing that we need to consider is the use of primitive data types which are not classes. Java classes/objects can directly access primitive data types making which is deviating from calling it as a Pure Object oriented language. 

There are 8 primitive data types (byte, boolean, char, short, int, float, long and double) in java.

What is the importance of User Open (USROPN) in RPGLE - IBM i

User Open (USROPN) USROPN (User Open) in RPGLE provides the flexibility for the programmer to open a file at a specific point in the program execution. In this post, let's explore what is the use of a USROPN and what is the importance of USROPN and how to use it with a simple example. What is the use of USROPN? By default, any file in the RPGLE (defined in F-Spec) opens as soon as the program execution is started and file is closed at the end of the program (by setting LR indicator ON). A simple RPGLE program looks something like this on a high level with out the use of a USROPN.  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 **Free                                  Dcl-F TestFile;                            ...

What is Deep Learning? Beyond the Basics of AI

What is Deep Learning? Beyond the Basics of AI AI’s everywhere—unlocking your phone, suggesting playlists, even driving cars. But how does it get *so* smart? Enter deep learning—a game-changer in artificial intelligence. Welcome to Decoding Complexities , where we unravel tech’s toughest puzzles. If you read “What Are Neural Networks?” you’ve brushed against this. Now, we’re going deeper. In this post, we’ll decode what deep learning is, how it powers AI’s wildest feats, and why it’s more than just buzz. From self-driving Teslas to ChatGPT, it’s the engine behind the magic. Let’s break it down—ready? Deep Learning: The Basics Deep learning (DL) is a subset of machine learning—itself a chunk of AI. Remember neural networks from my last post? DL cranks them up—think neural networks on steroids. It’s all about *deep* neural networks—piles of layers that dig into data to find patterns no human could spot. Here’s the gist: More Layers: Regula...

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence (In short, AI) is a highly sought-after skill in the Tech Industry today. In this post, let's try to understand " What is Artificial Intelligence? ". Before we dive in, let's first understand "What is Intelligence?" As humans, we think and act. This involves understanding our environment, predicting outcomes, and behaving accordingly. Similarly, AI focuses on building machines that can understand, predict, and act/respond effectively and safely. AI isn't exclusive to any specific industry. Its applications spread across different industries, including playing chess, proving mathematical theorems, driving cars, writing poetry, composing music, generating videos, diagnosing diseases, and much more. The field is continually evolving. Initially, AI was often defined in relation to matching ' Human performance '. However, AI has surpassed human capabilities in several areas and ...
