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.
