Modificadores de Java
modificadores
A estas alturas, está bastante familiarizado con la publicpalabra clave que aparece en casi todos nuestros ejemplos:
public class Main
La publicpalabra clave es un modificador de acceso , lo que significa que se utiliza para establecer el nivel de acceso para clases, atributos, métodos y constructores.
Dividimos los modificadores en dos grupos:
- Modificadores de acceso : controla el nivel de acceso
- Modificadores sin acceso : no controlan el nivel de acceso, pero proporcionan otra funcionalidad
Modificadores de acceso
Para las clases , puede usar publico por defecto :
| Modifier | Description | Try it |
|---|---|---|
public |
The class is accessible by any other class | |
| default | The class is only accessible by classes in the same package. This is used when you don't specify a modifier. You will learn more about packages in the Packages chapter |
Para atributos, métodos y constructores , puede usar uno de los siguientes:
| Modifier | Description | Try it |
|---|---|---|
public |
The code is accessible for all classes | |
private |
The code is only accessible within the declared class | |
| default | The code is only accessible in the same package. This is used when you don't specify a modifier. You will learn more about packages in the Packages chapter | |
protected |
The code is accessible in the same package and subclasses. You will learn more about subclasses and superclasses in the Inheritance chapter |
Modificadores de no acceso
Para las clases , puede usar finalo abstract:
| Modifier | Description | Try it |
|---|---|---|
final |
The class cannot be inherited by other classes (You will learn more about inheritance in the Inheritance chapter) | |
abstract |
The class cannot be used to create objects (To access an abstract class, it must be inherited from another class. You will learn more about inheritance and abstraction in the Inheritance and Abstraction chapters) |
Para atributos y métodos , puede usar uno de los siguientes:
| Modifier | Description |
|---|---|
final |
Attributes and methods cannot be overridden/modified |
static |
Attributes and methods belongs to the class, rather than an object |
abstract |
Can only be used in an abstract class, and can only be used on methods. The method does not have a body, for example abstract void run();. The body is provided by the subclass (inherited from). You will learn more about inheritance and abstraction in the Inheritance and Abstraction chapters |
transient |
Attributes and methods are skipped when serializing the object containing them |
synchronized |
Methods can only be accessed by one thread at a time |
volatile |
The value of an attribute is not cached thread-locally, and is always read from the "main memory" |
Final
Si no desea tener la capacidad de anular los valores de atributos existentes, declare los atributos como final:
Ejemplo
public class Main {
final int x = 10;
final double PI = 3.14;
public static void main(String[] args) {
Main myObj = new Main();
myObj.x = 50; // will generate an error: cannot assign a value to a final variable
myObj.PI = 25; // will generate an error: cannot assign a value to a final variable
System.out.println(myObj.x);
}
}
Estático
Un staticmétodo significa que se puede acceder a él sin crear un objeto de la clase, a diferencia de public:
Ejemplo
Un ejemplo para demostrar las diferencias entre staticy publicmétodos:
public class Main {
// Static method
static void myStaticMethod() {
System.out.println("Static methods can be called without creating objects");
}
// Public method
public void myPublicMethod() {
System.out.println("Public methods must be called by creating objects");
}
// Main method
public static void main(String[ ] args) {
myStaticMethod(); // Call the static method
// myPublicMethod(); This would output an error
Main myObj = new Main(); // Create an object of Main
myObj.myPublicMethod(); // Call the public method
}
}
Abstracto
Un abstractmétodo pertenece a una abstractclase y no tiene cuerpo. El cuerpo lo proporciona la subclase:
Ejemplo
// Code from filename: Main.java
// abstract class
abstract class Main {
public String fname = "John";
public int age = 24;
public abstract void study(); // abstract method
}
// Subclass (inherit from Main)
class Student extends Main {
public int graduationYear = 2018;
public void study() { // the body of the abstract method is provided here
System.out.println("Studying all day long");
}
}
// End code from filename: Main.java
// Code from filename: Second.java
class Second {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// create an object of the Student class (which inherits attributes and methods from Main)
Student myObj = new Student();
System.out.println("Name: " + myObj.fname);
System.out.println("Age: " + myObj.age);
System.out.println("Graduation Year: " + myObj.graduationYear);
myObj.study(); // call abstract method
}
}
