Object-Oriented Programming in Java — Multiple Inheritance

Multiple Inheritance occurs when a class is derived from more than one base class, i.e. when a class has more than one immediate parent class. For example 1. A Hyundai Elantra IS A Car 2. A Hyundai Elantra IS A Sedan as well

A class in Java cannot extend from more than one class. As a result, the question of “how can we implement multiple inheritances” arises. Interfaces are the answer to the preceding question. Interfaces can be used to implement multiple inheritances in Java. A class may implement multiple interfaces, and an interface may extend from multiple interfaces.

Take the same example mentioned above. That can be implemented using the following.

1. A base class named Car 2. An interface named IsSedan 3. An Elantra class derived from Car and implementing IsSedan


The above illustration then becomes,

Implementation in Java


The output is

The model of Elantra is: 2019 The manufacturer of Elantra is: Hyundai The variant of Elantra is: Sport The bootspace of Elantra is: 420 litres

The model of Elantra is: 2018 The manufacturer of Elantra is: Hyundai The variant of Elantra is: Eco The bootspace of Elantra is: 420 litres

Interface vs Abstract Class

Hello World project in ROS on Windows 10

We've seen how to install ROS in Windows 10 in this article, this is the time to start programming. What is the very first thing we do once we setup a new Programming Language? Hello World !!! Lets see how to write Hello World in ROS on Windows machine. Before going into the programming, make sure you've installed Gedit on your Windows machine. You can get it from here. Also, setup the path for Gedit and restart your machine to ensure the path definition works. First open the ROS terminal and check for the working directory. We have to be in the catkin workspace. If you've already created it, go to that directory. Or else, create it like this. Create a src folder inside catkin_ws. Inside that newly created src folder, lets create a new package in it. The command to create a ROS package is as follows. >catkin_create_pkg [PACKAGE_NAME] [DEPENDENT_PACKAGE_1] ....[DEPENDENT_PACKAGE_N] ‘std_msgs’ and ‘roscpp’ were added as optional dependent packages

SQL Joins

You’ll nearly always need to connect many tables if you want to extract anything useful out of data. A join clause in SQL joins columns from one or more tables into a new table, similar to a join operation in relational algebra. In this article, let’s see how the joins work in SQL. We are going to explore the following SQL Joins.   ∘ 1 — (INNER) JOIN   ∘ 2 — LEFT (OUTER) JOIN   ∘ 3 — RIGHT (OUTER) JOIN   ∘ 4 — FULL (OUTER) JOIN AND UNION   ∘ When to use it? Also, I’m going to use the following tables for the above-mentioned SQL Joins. 1 — (INNER) JOIN Returns records with values in both tables that are the same. Image from Author As long as the condition is met, the INNER JOIN keyword selects all rows from both tables. This keyword will produce a result-set by merging all rows from both tables that satisfy the criteria, i.e. the common field’s value will be the same. Syntax: SELECT table1.column1,table1.column2,table2.column1,…. FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.matching_column =

Collection Framework in Java

Data Structure As a definition, the data structure is a specific method of organizing data in a computer so that it may be used efficiently. In this article, we are going to see about the Collection Framework which enables us to implement some important Data Structures available on Java. Topics covered:   ∘ Data Structure   ∘ Collection Framework   ∘ Class vs Interface   ∘ Lists   ∘ Set   ∘ Map   ∘ Difference between List, Set, and Map interface in Java Collection Framework A Java collection is a grouping of separate objects that are represented as a single entity. Java collections, like data, provide all actions such as searching, sorting, insertion, modification, deletion, and so on. Java Collections is a fairly broad topic, and as a newbie, it might be tough to find your way around. We’ve covered all you need to know to get started with Java Collections.
