Learn Java from Scratch - A Beginner's Guide - Step 02 - OOP Example - Fan Class - Deciding State and Constructors

The video tutorial covers the design of a class using a ceiling fan as an example. It discusses key questions for class design, such as defining state variables, constructors, and behaviors. The tutorial walks through creating a fan class in Java, implementing constructors, and printing the object's state using the toString method. It also demonstrates using the string format method for efficient string concatenation. The video concludes with a summary and a preview of the next steps in learning object-oriented programming.

What is the purpose of the toString method in the fan class?

How do you ensure that the fan object has default values for certain attributes?

What are the different states of a fan that you would want to represent?

What methods would you want to allow to alter the behavior of a fan?
