}
// Switch Case
// A switch works with the byte, short, char, and int data types.
// It also works with enumerated types (discussed in Enum Types), the
// String class, and a few special classes that wrap primitive types:
// Character, Byte, Short, and Integer.
int month = 3;

default: monthString = "Some other month";
break;
}
System.out.println("Switch Case Result: " + monthString);
// Conditional Shorthand
// You can use the '?' operator for quick assignments or logic forks.
// Reads as "If (statement) is true, use <first value>, otherwise, use
// <second value>"
int foo = 5;
String bar = (foo < 10) ? "A" : "B";
System.out.println(bar); // Prints A, because the statement is true

// Converting Data Types And Typecasting
////////////////////////////////////////
// Converting data
// Convert String To Integer
Integer.parseInt("123");//returns an integer version of "123"
// Convert Integer To String
Integer.toString(123);//returns a string version of 123
// For other conversions check out the following classes:
// Double
// Long
// String
// Typecasting
// You can also cast Java objects, there's a lot of details and deals
// with some more intermediate concepts. Feel free to check it out here:

// Interfaces
// Interface declaration syntax
// <access-level> interface <interface-name> extends <super-interfaces> {
// // Constants
// // Method declarations
// }
// Example - Food:
public interface Edible {
public void eat(); // Any class that implements this interface, must
// implement this method.
}
public interface Digestible {
public void digest();
}
// We can now create a class that implements both of these interfaces.
public class Fruit implements Edible, Digestible {
@Override
public void eat() {
// ...
}
@Override
public void digest() {
// ...
}
}
// In Java, you can extend only one class, but you can implement many
// interfaces. For example:
public class ExampleClass extends ExampleClassParent implements InterfaceOne,
InterfaceTwo {
@Override
public void InterfaceOneMethod() {

@Override
public void InterfaceTwoMethod() {

}
// Abstract Classes
// Abstract Class declaration syntax
// <access-level> abstract <abstract-class-name> extends <super-abstract-classes> {
// // Constants and variables
// // Method declarations
// }
// Methods can't have bodies in an interface, unless the method is
// static. Also variables are NOT final by default, unlike an interface.
// Also abstract classes CAN have the "main" method.
// Abstract classes solve these problems.
public abstract class Animal
{
public abstract void makeSound();
// Method can have a body
public void eat()
{
System.out.println("I am an animal and I am Eating.");
// Note: We can access private variable here.
age = 30;
}
// No need to initialize, however in an interface
// a variable is implicitly final and hence has
// to be initialized.
private int age;
public void printAge()
{
System.out.println(age);
}
// Abstract classes can have main function.
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("I am abstract");
}
}
class Dog extends Animal
{
// Note still have to override the abstract methods in the
// abstract class.
@Override
public void makeSound()
{
System.out.println("Bark");
// age = 30; ==> ERROR! age is private to Animal
}
// NOTE: You will get an error if you used the
// @Override annotation here, since java doesn't allow
// overriding of static methods.
// What is happening here is called METHOD HIDING.
// Check out this awesome SO post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16313649/
