Java Certified Foundations Associate: Java Methods

IN THIS COURSE

• 1.  Course Overview
  1m 5s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about your instructor and this course. In this course, you’ll learn how to create and use methods to manipulate the data inside a class. You’ll discover Java methods, Accessor methods, and Unitary methods and see how they’re used in Java classes. Next, you’ll learn about overloading in Java and when it should be used. Finally, you’ll learn about the static keyword and how it can be applied. FREE ACCESS
• 2.  Java Methods
  13m 47s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about what Java methods are. Java methods are also called functions. You’ll learn Java methods are a collection of code that performs an operation. You’ll look for operations you would have to carry out in your code repeatedly, and rather than writing in that operation over and over again, you put it into a method. You’ll see an example of this onscreen. FREE ACCESS
• 3.  Programming Java Methods
  5m 56s
  In this video, you’ll watch a demo. In this demonstration, you’ll learn to create and use methods in Java classes. Onscreen, you’ll see the IDE on the left side in the project pane. You’ll right-click the source folder, navigate to New and click Java Class, and this will create a New Java Class. You’ll call it MethodExample.java, and then hit Enter, and it creates the class. FREE ACCESS
• 4.  Java Accessor Methods
  8m 50s
  In this video, you’ll learn about Java Accessor Methods. These are methods you can use to access the instance variables, or fields, or properties of a class. Java Accessor Methods are also called getters, because you can think of them as getting something for you. Typically, the use case for Java Accessor Method is to retrieve the values of private fields. FREE ACCESS
• 5.  Programming Java Accessor Methods
  6m 55s
  In this video, you’ll watch a demo. You’ll learn the use of Java accessor methods. To get started, you’ll locate my src folder, right-click on it, navigate to New, and click Java Class, and then you’ll make a Java class called AccessorExample.java. Now, you have your AccessorExample class.  FREE ACCESS
• 6.  Java Mutator Methods
  5m 6s
  In this video, you’ll watch a demo. You’ll learn Java Mutator Methods, also called setters. You’ll learn these are used to change the elements of a class. Mutator Methods modify the instance variables or the fields of a class. You’ll learn that Mutator Methods demonstrate code encapsulation by having not only the data contained in a class, but also the methods used to operate on that data contained within that same class. FREE ACCESS
• 7.  Programming Java Mutator Methods
  8m 41s
  In this video, you’ll watch a demo. You’ll learn more about the use of Java Mutator Methods. You’ll get started by creating a Java class. On the left-hand side in IDE in the project window, you’ll click on the src folder, navigate to New, and click Java Class. Then, you’ll create a Java class called MutatorExample. Now, in your main project window on line 1, you’ll see your mutator example class, public class MutatorExample. FREE ACCESS
• 8.  Java Method Overloading
  9m 56s
  In this video, you’ll learn about Method Overloading in Java. This is where you have multiple methods that have the same name but different parameters. Because the methods all have the same name, Java decides at runtime based on how the method is called at that point in the code which instance of the method to use. This is called polymorphism, and you’ll learn there are three ways to perform Overloading. FREE ACCESS
• 9.  Programming Java Method Overloading
  6m 50s
  In this video, you’ll watch a demo. In this demonstration, you’ll learn how to use method Overloading in Java. You’ll create a class to work in. On the left side of your IDE in the project pane window, you’ll right click on the source folder, navigate to New, and click Java Class. Then you’ll create a new Java Class called OverloadingExample.java. FREE ACCESS
• 10.  Java Interfaces
  7m 4s
  In this video, you’ll learn about interfaces in Java. These are similar to classes in Java because they contain methods and variables. But you’ll learn there are a few key differences between an interface and a class. The first is that in an interface, all methods are abstract by default. They don't contain any code bodies themselves. They have the method signature that defines the method name, the return type, its access modifier, and parameters. FREE ACCESS
• 11.  Programming Java Interfaces
  9m 5s
  In this video, you’ll watch a demo. You’ll learn how to create and use Java interfaces. You’ll create an interface, and then you’ll learn how to use it. You’ll also learn why you’d want to use one. To start, you’ll create an interface within your project. On the left side, in IDE under the Project pane, you’ll right-click on your source folder, navigate to New>Java Class, and then you’ll see Class, Interface, Enum, and Annotation.  FREE ACCESS
• 12.  Java Static Methods
  5m 25s
  In this video, you’ll learn about Static Methods. These are methods that belong to a class rather than an instance of the class. You’ll learn you can access a Static Method without needing to instantiate an object first. Static Methods can be used as part of a class, and static variables can also be used to define them as being part of a class. FREE ACCESS
• 13.  Programming Java Static Methods
  6m 44s
  In this video, you’ll watch a demo. In this demonstration, you’re going to learn to use static methods in Java. To get started, you’ll create a class to work in. On the left side of the IDE, in the project pane, you’ll right-click on src, navigate to New>Java Class, and then you’ll create a new Java class called StaticExample.java. You’ll see the class declaration on line 1 with public class StaticExample. FREE ACCESS
• 14.  Course Summary
  32s
