What is Conditional Operator in Java and how to write it?

In Java, the Conditional Operator is a ternary operator that provides a concise way to write simple if-else statements. It is called a ternary operator because it takes three operands. The conditional operator is represented by the symbol ? :.

Syntax

variable = (condition) ? expression1 : expression2;
  • Condition: It is a Boolean expression that evaluates to either true or false.
  • Expression1: Executed if the condition is true.
  • Expression2: Executed if the condition is false.

Example 1: Using Conditional Operator

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int a = 10, b = 20;
        
        // Using conditional operator to find the larger number
        int max = (a > b) ? a : b;
        
        System.out.println("The larger number is: " + max);
    }
}

Output:

The larger number is: 20

Example 2: Using Conditional Operator for Even or Odd

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int num = 7;
        
        // Check if the number is even or odd using the conditional operator
        String result = (num % 2 == 0) ? "Even" : "Odd";
        
        System.out.println("The number is: " + result);
    }
}

Output:

The number is: Odd

When to Use Conditional Operator

  • It is best used for simple conditions and assignments.
  • It makes code more readable and compact compared to using traditional if-else statements.
  • Avoid using it for complex conditions as it may reduce readability.

You can now have an idea that the conditional operator reduces the lines of code, and make our task easier. You can figure out various other use cases where you will find the conditional operator quite useful, and you cannot code without it sometimes as well. Keep researching.

Python OOPs (Object-Oriented Programming) Concepts

1️⃣ Key OOP Concepts in Python

Concept Description
Class A blueprint for creating objects
Object An instance of a class
Encapsulation Restricting direct access to data (hiding details)
Abstraction Hiding implementation details and exposing only functionality
Inheritance Allowing a class to acquire properties/methods from another class
Polymorphism Using the same method name for different functionalities

2️⃣ Class & Object in Python

? Defining a Class & Creating an Object

# Creating a class
class Car:
    def __init__(self, brand, model, year):  # Constructor
        self.brand = brand
        self.model = model
        self.year = year

    def display_info(self):  # Method
        print(f"Car: {self.brand} {self.model} ({self.year})")

# Creating an object (instance)
my_car = Car("Tesla", "Model S", 2022)

# Calling a method
my_car.display_info()  # Output: Car: Tesla Model S (2022)

3️⃣ Encapsulation (Data Hiding)

Encapsulation restricts direct access to class attributes and methods.

? Private Variables & Getters/Setters

class BankAccount:
    def __init__(self, balance):
        self.__balance = balance  # Private attribute (__)  

    def deposit(self, amount):
        self.__balance += amount

    def get_balance(self):  # Getter method
        return self.__balance

# Creating an object
account = BankAccount(500)
account.deposit(200)

print(account.get_balance())  # Output: 700
# print(account.__balance)  # ❌ Error: Cannot access private variable directly

4️⃣ Abstraction (Hiding Implementation)

Abstraction hides complex details and exposes only essential features.

? Using Abstract Base Class

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class Animal(ABC):  # Abstract class
    @abstractmethod
    def sound(self):
        pass

class Dog(Animal):  # Concrete class
    def sound(self):
        return "Bark"

class Cat(Animal):
    def sound(self):
        return "Meow"

dog = Dog()
print(dog.sound())  # Output: Bark

5️⃣ Inheritance (Reusability)

Inheritance allows a class to acquire properties and methods from another class.

? Single Inheritance

class Parent:
    def show(self):
        print("This is Parent class")

class Child(Parent):  # Inheriting Parent class
    def display(self):
        print("This is Child class")

obj = Child()
obj.show()    # Output: This is Parent class
obj.display() # Output: This is Child class

? Multiple Inheritance

class A:
    def method_A(self):
        print("Class A method")

class B:
    def method_B(self):
        print("Class B method")

class C(A, B):  # Inheriting both A and B
    def method_C(self):
        print("Class C method")

obj = C()
obj.method_A()  # Output: Class A method
obj.method_B()  # Output: Class B method

? Multilevel Inheritance

class Grandparent:
    def grandparent_method(self):
        print("Grandparent method")

class Parent(Grandparent):
    def parent_method(self):
        print("Parent method")

class Child(Parent):
    def child_method(self):
        print("Child method")

obj = Child()
obj.grandparent_method()  # Output: Grandparent method
obj.parent_method()       # Output: Parent method
obj.child_method()        # Output: Child method

6️⃣ Polymorphism (Same Function, Different Behavior)

Polymorphism allows using the same method name with different implementations.

? Method Overriding

class Animal:
    def sound(self):
        return "Some sound"

class Dog(Animal):
    def sound(self):  # Overriding parent method
        return "Bark"

class Cat(Animal):
    def sound(self):
        return "Meow"

animals = [Dog(), Cat()]
for animal in animals:
    print(animal.sound())  
# Output: 
# Bark
# Meow

? Method Overloading (Not Native in Python)

Python does not support method overloading, but we can achieve it using default arguments.

class Math:
    def add(self, a, b, c=0):  # Overloading using default argument
        return a + b + c

math_obj = Math()
print(math_obj.add(2, 3))      # Output: 5
print(math_obj.add(2, 3, 4))   # Output: 9

7️⃣ Special (Magic) Methods in OOP

Python has special methods, also called dunder (double underscore) methods.

Method Purpose
__init__() Constructor (initializes objects)
__str__() Returns string representation
__len__() Returns length of object
__add__() Operator overloading for +
__eq__() Checks equality (==)

Example: Operator Overloading

class Book:
    def __init__(self, pages):
        self.pages = pages

    def __add__(self, other):
        return self.pages + other.pages  # Overloading + operator

book1 = Book(100)
book2 = Book(200)

print(book1 + book2)  # Output: 300

? OOP Summary

Class & Object - Blueprint & instance
Encapsulation - Hides internal details
Abstraction - Shows only essential details
Inheritance - Reusability of code
Polymorphism - Same method, different behaviors
Magic Methods - Special dunder methods

Python Modules by Naresh I Technologies

Python modules are files containing Python code (functions, classes, and variables) that can be imported and reused in other programs. They help keep code organized, reusable, and efficient.

1️⃣ Types of Python Modules

Python modules are categorized into three main types:

1. Built-in Modules (Pre-installed)

  • Python has several modules that come pre-installed.
  • These include os, sys, math, random, datetime, json, etc.
  • Example: Using the math module
import math
print(math.sqrt(16))  # Output: 4.0

2. User-Defined Modules (Custom modules)

  • You can create your own modules by saving Python functions in a .py file.
  • Example: Creating a custom module my_module.py
# my_module.py
def greet(name):
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

Import and use it in another script:

import my_module
print(my_module.greet("Alice"))  # Output: Hello, Alice!

3. External Modules (Third-party)

  • These modules are installed via pip and not included in Python by default.
  • Examples: numpy, pandas, requests, flask, etc.
  • Install & use an external module:
pip install requests
import requests
response = requests.get("https://api.github.com")
print(response.status_code)  # Output: 200

2️⃣ Useful Built-in Python Modules

Here are some commonly used built-in Python modules:

Module Purpose
os Interact with the operating system (files, directories, environment variables)
sys Access system-specific parameters & functions
math Perform mathematical operations
random Generate random numbers
datetime Work with dates and time
time Handle time-related functions
json Parse and handle JSON data
re Work with regular expressions
statistics Perform statistical operations
csv Read and write CSV files

3️⃣ Exploring Installed Modules

To see a list of available modules in Python:

help('modules')

4️⃣ Importing Modules in Different Ways

1. Import the whole module

import math
print(math.pi)  # Output: 3.141592653589793

2. Import specific functions

from math import sqrt, ceil
print(sqrt(25))  # Output: 5.0
print(ceil(4.3)) # Output: 5

3. Import with an alias

import datetime as dt
print(dt.datetime.now())  # Current date and time

4. Import everything using 

from math import *
print(factorial(5))  # Output: 120

5️⃣ Creating and Using Your Own Module

Step 1: Create a module file

Create a file my_module.py with some functions:

# my_module.py
def add(a, b):
    return a + b

def subtract(a, b):
    return a - b

Step 2: Import and use it

import my_module

print(my_module.add(5, 3))  # Output: 8
print(my_module.subtract(10, 4))  # Output: 6

6️⃣ Finding Module Location

To check where Python imports a module from:

import math
print(math.__file__)

? Summary

Python modules make code reusable and organized.
✔ There are built-in, user-defined, and external modules.
✔ You can import modules in different ways using import, from module import, or aliases.
✔ External modules can be installed via pip install module_name.
