    Study Notes

    Class and Object

    • A class is a user-defined data type that contains functions and is a blueprint for objects.
    • A class declares and defines the data variables and operations that can be performed on its objects.
    • An instance of a class is an object, similar to a house built from a blueprint.

    Abstraction

    • Abstraction shows only the essential features of an application and hides the details.
    • In C++, classes provide methods to access and use data variables, but the variables are hidden from direct access.

    Encapsulation

    • Encapsulation binds data variables and functions together in a class.
    • It is also known as data binding.
    • Access specifiers can be used to control access to the data variables.

    Inheritance

    • Inheritance is a way to reuse code by creating a new class based on an existing class.
    • The existing class is called the base class, and the new class is called the derived class.
    • The derived class can use all the functions defined in the base class.

    Polymorphism

    • Polymorphism allows functions with the same name to have different arguments and perform differently.
    • It also allows functions to be redefined to provide new definitions.

    Exception Handling

    • Exception handling is a feature of OOP that handles unresolved exceptions or errors produced at runtime.

    UML and Class Diagram

    • The primary goals of UML include providing a ready-to-use visual modeling language, extensibility, and independence from programming languages.
    • A class diagram is a central modeling technique in OOP that describes the types of objects in a system and their relationships.
    • There are three principal kinds of relationships in class diagrams: association, inheritance, and aggregation.

    Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

    • OOP is a way of programming that enables programmers to think like they are working with real-life entities or objects.
    • Objects have fields to store knowledge/state/data and can do various works — methods.
    • OOP features include classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, and encapsulation.

    Merits and Demerits of OOP

    • The merits of OOP include code reusability, modularity, and ease of maintenance.
    • The demerits of OOP include increased complexity and difficulty in debugging.

    Learning Objectives

    • To understand the relative merits of C++ as an OOP language.
    • To understand the features of C++ that support OOP.
    • To demonstrate the concepts of UML and class diagram in OOP.
    • To demonstrate the concept of functions in OOP.
