Welcome back! In this course, we delve into Class Attributes and Methods in Java. These define an object's properties and behaviors. Our goal is to master the definition and application of these within a class. Through the construction of a CellPhone class, we will navigate this exciting journey!

Class attributes symbolize an object's properties. For instance, the attributes of a CellPhone might be its brand and model:

Sometimes, attributes remain constant after initial set-up. The final keyword aids in creating such attributes. Let's add a chargerType attribute, which will be constant:

Methods are a class's behaviors, while attributes are its properties. For our CellPhone, a callDial method might be used to start a phone call:

Just as we humans can perform various tasks, our objects can possess more than one method. For instance, let's add another method, hangUp:

To run this code, we can instantiate a class and call a method for the created instance:

Methods can interact with and modify class attributes. This can be illustrated with an updateModel method that updates the model:

Here, the this keyword refers to the current instance of the class object. It means that we are setting the model field in the current CellPhone class object to newModel.

This concludes our lesson on class attributes and methods in Java. We have discussed class attributes and explored the creation of publicly accessible and constant attributes. Furthermore, we have studied class methods and their interaction with class attributes.

Now, it's time for you to enter the practice arena. Mastering attributes and methods will take you one step further in your Java learning adventure. Happy practicing!
