Association in Java Programming

By
What is Association in java


  • Relationship between one or more classes
  • Aggregation and composition is a special type of association


 For example, Student Belongs to a specific Faculty and One faculty has many students

 Code Example:

class Student {
  String name;
  Student () {name=null; }
  Student (String n) {name=n; }
  void setName(String n) {name=n;}
  String getName() { return name;}
}
class Faculty{
  Student student[];
  int size;
  Faculty (int s){size=0;
           student=new Student[s];}
void belongsTo(Student p){
    student[size]=p;
    size++;
}
void print(){
   for (int i=0;i<size;i++)
      System.out.println(student[i].getName());
}
}
class Test{
public static void main (String a[]){
    Faculty FIT= new Faculty(5);
    Faculty FMS= new Faculty(5);
    
    Student s1=new Student("Hamza");
    FMS.belongsTo(s1);
    
    Student s2=new Student("Kamil");
    FIT.belongsTo(s2);
    
    Student s3=new Student("Shoaib");
    FMS.belongsTo(s3);
    
    System.out.println("FIT students");
    FIT.print();
    System.out.println("FMS students");
    FMS.print();
    }
}






Practice 2

  • Student register for one or more courses
  • One student can register max 5 courses
  • Each course may have a maximum of 50 registered students


class Student {
String name;
Student () {name=null; }
Student (String n) {name=n; }
void setName(String n) {name=n;}
String getName() { return name;}
}
class Course {
String title;
Course  () {title=null; }
Course  (String n) {title=n; }
void setTitle(String n) {title=n;}
String getTitle() { return title;}
}

class Registration{
Student s;
Course  c;
void register(Student s,Course c ) {
            this.s=s;
            this.c=c;
}
void print(){
 System.out.print(s.getName() + " Register ");
 System.out.println(c.getTitle());
}
}

class Test{
public static void main (String a[]){
Registration r[]=new Registration[10];
Student s1= new Student("Jhon");
Student s2= new Student("Alex");
Student s3= new Student("Jawad");
Course  c1 = new Course ("DSA");
Course  c2 = new Course ("Algo");
r[0] = new Registration();
r[0].register(s1,c1);
r[1] = new Registration();
r[1].register(s2,c1);
r[2] = new Registration();
r[2].register(s3,c2);
r[3] = new Registration();
r[3].register(s1,c2);
for (int i=0;i<4;i++)
   r[i].print();

}
}

Composition in Java with code examples

By
Composition  "Have a " Relationship  OR  "Must have" relationship                    between two or more classes. Container class contains component's class object For example a  Car is composed of engine and body. Where Car is a container class and both Engine and Body are components class.  Life Time Issue in Composition Life time of component objects depends on container class If Container object destroyed, component objects will be also destroyed Car Example  There is a composition relationship between car's body and engine. Car must have Engine and body If Car destroyed, both Engine and Body will be destroyed class  Engine {   Engine  () {    System.out.println ( "Engine created" ) ; }   void  start () {    System.out.println ( "Engine Start" ) ;   } } class  Body...

Life Time of Objects in Java with code Examples

By
Lifetime Concept in Java Programming Time between allocation and de-allocation of memory Life time depends on block i.e { }  life time starts when  declaration statement elaborated and expires at end of block   There is no delete keyword in java  Garbage collector is responsible for all deletes Java is free from dangling reference and garbage problem Why java does not support delete keyword? Java does not support delete keyword because there is a garbage collector in java This automatically runs and collects dangling or un-referenced objects.That is why there is no delete keyword in java like C++. Garbage collector can be explicitly like that System.gc();  When a life of object ends garbage collector runs automatically Example 1 { int a=5;// life Time start here a++; } //life time expire Example 2   Let Student is a class Student s;   // creating a reference of Student class    {Student t; //...

Aggregation in java with example codes

By
What is aggregation?   "Have a" or "May have" relationship  Aggregation is special type of association  Life time of Component object is independent from its  container object E.g A school has one student class  Student  { String name; Student  () { name= null ;  } Student  ( String n ) { name=n;  } void  setName ( String n ) { name=n; } String getName () {  return  name; } } class  School { Student  st; School  (  ) {  st= null ; } School  ( Student s ){ st=s; } void  studentName (){    System.out.println ( st.getName ()) ; } } class  Post { public static  void  main  ( String a []){ Student st= new  Student ( "Imran" ) ; School s=  new  School ( st ) ; s.studentName () ; } } Output Hello ...
