    Study Notes

    Understanding Objects

    • An object can be anything in the real world or an imaginary concept.
    • In programming, objects are abstractions used to model real-life entities.

    Models and Instances

    • A Model represents a broader idea or concept that can be illustrated.
    • A Set of Entities can be represented by a model, with each specific example considered an instance.
    • Examples include:
      • Animal Model: Includes instances like eagle, whale, and deer.
      • Monster Model: Includes instances like centaur, dragon, and werewolf.
      • Appliance Model: Includes instances like stove, refrigerator, and washing machine.

    Object-Oriented Programming

    • Java is a leading object-oriented programming language, emphasizing the use of objects.
    • Focuses on defining and using models and instances to facilitate programming tasks.

    Defining Object Model

    • Object modeling involves two primary components: Attributes (State) and Behavior.

    Attributes (State)

    • Describes the current characteristics of an object, with the understanding that these attributes can change over time.
    • Examples of attributes for a Light Bulb:
      • Is powered: Indicates the bulb's on/off status.
      • Color: The color emitted by the bulb.
      • Watts: The power required to operate the bulb.
    • Examples of attributes for a Bank Account:
      • Account number: Unique identifier for the account owner.
      • Balance: The total amount of money in the account.

    Behavior

    • Refers to the actions an object can perform, which can alter its state or provide information about it.
    • Examples of behaviors for a Light Bulb:
      • Turn on: Activates the light bulb.
      • Turn off: Powers down the light bulb.
      • Flip switch: Toggles the power state of the bulb.
      • Check status: Reports the current power status.
      • Check color: Reveals the color of the bulb.
      • Check watts: Indicates the power needed by the bulb.
    • Examples of behaviors for a Bank Account:
      • Deposit: Adds more money to the account.
      • Withdraw: Removes money from the account.
      • Inquire balance: Checks the remaining balance in the account.

    Object Characteristics

    • Objects are anthropomorphic, capable of performing specific tasks but cannot act independently; they require commands from other objects.
    • Effective communication between objects is essential for program functionality, especially in languages like Java.
    • Objects serve as abstractions, functioning like a black box where specific details are concealed while general information is available.
    • This abstraction reduces complexity in programming by allowing the definition of object features separately.
