Applying methods
• Transfer balance
double amt = 500;
momsSavings.withdraw(amt);
harrysChecking.deposit(amt);
• Add interest
double rate = 5; // 5%
double amt = acct.getBalance()
* rate / 100;
acct.deposit(amt);

Constructing objects
• Construct an object
new BankAccount()
• Save object in object variable
BankAccount account
= new BankAccount();
• Apply methods
account.deposit(1000);

Private data
• You can't access private data:
harrysChecking.balance = 1000;
// ERROR
• Use the public interface for all access:
harrysChecking.deposit(1000);
• Hiding implementation = encapsulation
• Safe
• Makes it easy to change implementation

Implicit parameter
•
public void withdraw(double amount)
{ balance
= balance - amount;
}
•
balance is the balance of the object to the left of the dot:
momsSavings.withdraw(500)
means
momsSavings.balance
= momsSavings.balance - amount;

Discovering Classes
• Nouns: candidates for classes
• Verbs: candidates for methods
• Example: Program asks a user to add coins
to a purse. Then get total amount of money
in the purse
• Classes: Coin, Purse
• Methods: addCoins, getTotal
