ICSE Class 9 Computer Applications
Chapter 1: Introduction to OOP Concepts
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects.
Objects can contain data, in the form of fields, and code, in the form of procedures or methods.
Key Concepts:
- Class: A blueprint for creating objects.
- Object: An instance of a class.
- Encapsulation: Wrapping data and code into a single unit.
- Inheritance: Deriving a new class from an existing class.
- Polymorphism: The ability to take many forms.
Questions:
1. Define Object-Oriented Programming.
2. What is the difference between procedural and object-oriented programming?
3. Explain the concept of a class and object with an example.
4. What is encapsulation? How is it implemented in Java?
5. What is the significance of inheritance in OOP?
Chapter 2: Elementary Concepts of Objects and Classes
In Java, everything revolves around objects and classes. A class is a template that describes the
behaviors and properties of the objects created from it. An object is an instance of a class.
Key Points:
- Instance Variables: Data members of a class.
- Methods: Functions defined inside a class.
- Constructor: A special method to initialize objects.
Questions:
1. Define a class and an object in Java.
2. What is the difference between an instance variable and a class variable?
3. How does a constructor work in Java?
4. Differentiate between method and constructor.
5. How do you create an object in Java?
Chapter 3: Values and Data Types
Java has a rich set of data types that define the kind of data that can be stored and manipulated
within a program. There are two main categories of data types: primitive and non-primitive.
Key Points:
- Primitive Types: int, float, char, boolean, etc.
- Non-Primitive Types: Strings, Arrays, etc.
- Type Casting: Converting one data type into another.
Questions:
1. Differentiate between primitive and non-primitive data types.
2. What are the different types of primitive data types in Java?
3. Explain the process of type casting in Java.
4. How is a boolean used in decision making?
5. Write a Java program to demonstrate the use of String.
