Study Notes

Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming

Introduction to programming language and software evaluation
Difference between Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and Procedure-Oriented Programming (POP)
Basic concepts of memory, operators, and control structures
Introduction to IDEs such as Dev-C++ and Visual Studio

Importance of Object-Oriented Programming

Faster and easier to execute
Provides a clear structure for programs
Helps to keep code DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
Makes code easier to maintain, modify, and debug
Enables creation of full reusable applications with less code and shorter development time

Object and Class

Objects are entities in a software system that represent instances of real-world and system entities
Objects have two main properties: State (attributes) and Behavior (methods)
Examples of objects: Computer, Pen, Car, Book, Apple, Cat, Bank Account, Results

Class

A Class is a blueprint of an object
A Class describes the object
A Class is a general, abstract representation of an object that specifies the fields and methods that such an object has

Class and Object Example

Class Car example: Properties (Company, Model, Color, Mfg.year, Price, Mileage) and Methods (Start, Drive, Park)
Constructing Objects from Classes: Once a class has been defined, it can be used to create any number of objects of that class

Simple Class Declaration

A typical class declaration: class Item { int number; float cost; public: int getdata(int a, float b); void putdata(void); };
