Where to use abstraction java code example
Example 1: abstraction in java
Abstraction is defined as hiding internal implementation and showing only
necessary information.
abstract class Addition
{
public abstract int addTwoNumbers(int number1, int number2);
public abstract int addFourNumbers(int number1, int number2, int number3, int number4);
public void printValues()
{
System.out.println("abstract class printValues() method");
}
}
class AbstractMethodExample extends Addition
{
public int addTwoNumbers(int number1, int number2)
{
return number1 + number2;
}
public int addFourNumbers(int number1, int number2, int number3, int number4)
{
return number1 + number2 + number3 + number4;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Addition add = new AbstractMethodExample();
System.out.println(add.addTwoNumbers(6, 6));
System.out.println(add.addFourNumbers(8, 8, 3, 2));
add.printValues();
}
}
Example 2: abstraction example in java
In my framework I have achieved abstraction
by using collections or Map, because it’s all interface.
Most of the cases I come across using List.
If we want to access elements frequently by using index,
List is a way to go. ArrayList provides faster access if we know index.
If we want to store elements and want them to maintain an order,
List is a better choice.
i) List webs = driver.getWindowHandles();
=>create a list first to store web URLs in list
ii) findElements evaluates multiple elements
so therefore will assigned to List
iii) To handle dynamic elements store it in the list and identify by index:
List all = driver.findElements(By.tagname(“”));
In my framework I follow POM and had situations
where some pages shared similar actions that were similar
but worked slightly different, so I was able to use abstraction
to define those actions and implement them in each page according
to what was needed for that webpage
