Study Notes
Chapter 1: Basic Principles
- The chapter is titled "Basic Principles: Which Object for Computer Science?"
- The presentation is by Dr. Sarra Namane.
- The presentation is for 2nd Year Engineering students at Badji Mokhtar University, Annaba.
- The academic year is 2024/2025.
Introduction
- Software works with data.
- Effective data management requires understanding, analysis, update, and storage.
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a solution for managing data effectively.
- OOP organizes data and actions in a clear manner.
- Once data classes and objects are set up, data manipulation is logical and easily followed.
Introduction (2)
- Perception of the environment involves recognizing specific objects (e.g., cars, people, trees).
- Selective perception highlights cognitive mechanisms essential for understanding object-oriented programming.
- Ambient elements (like air, temperature, light) are not explicitly mentioned despite contributing to the perception of objects.
- Object attributes define features like shape, dimensions, and colour that individually or collectively help distinguish different objects.
- Perceptual segmentation relies on object attributes to separate objects.
The trio <entity, attribute, value>
- The world is described using the trio <entity, attribute, value>.
- An entity is anything distinguishable (physical or abstract). Examples: a car, a person, a concept.
- Entities are perceived due to their attributes that combine to form the entity (e.g., colour, age, size combine to make a car).
- Attributes define and make objects perceivable.
- Objects share common attributes (e.g., colour), which allows for grouping objects into classes and subclasses.
Example <Entity, Attribute, Value>
- A diagram illustrates "Student" as an entity with attributes like "Name", "Student ID", "Age", "Address", and "Mobile no".
- Each attribute has a corresponding value (e.g., Labiod Imene, 125425235).
What is Object Oriented Programming?
- Object-Oriented Programming is a coding paradigm.
- It organizes code around data ("objects").
- Instead of functions and procedures, it uses objects.
- OOP simplifies software development by enabling data modelling.
- It provides a logical way to model data.
- OOP uses classes to define data models, which are reusable blueprints for objects.
- OOP significantly reduces software complexity, development time, and maintenance.
What is an Object?
- An object combines data and behavior.
- State: Data represented by attributes (e.g., a car's colour, brand, speed).
- Methods: Actions (e.g., a car's
accelerate
,brake
,honk
methods). - Identity: What uniquely identifies an object, even if its internal details are identical to another.
Object Storage in Memory
- Each object gets allocated memory when created.
- Primitive data types (integers, floats, characters) have fixed sizes, simplifying memory management.
- Object attributes are stored using primitive data types.
- Memory management is automated: the system determines the memory space based on object structure.
Example of Object Memory Size Calculation
- Calculations demonstrating how different object attributes require different amounts of memory space.
- Examples of attribute data types (e.g.,
int
,float
,char
,String
) and their memory allocations in bits (e.g., 32, 64, 16).
The Referent of an Object
- Objects are given unique names.
- These names correspond uniquely to their memory addresses.
- No two objects can use the same memory address.
- A referent is a variable that stores the object's memory address.
- Memory space is designated for referents.
- Memory addresses are typically 32-bit.
- A referent is a 32-bit variable that holds the object's physical address, enabling efficient memory management.
- Stack and heap memory explained.
The Referent of an Object (2)
- Stack memory functions as a short-term buffer for method data.
- Heap memory is a larger space for object storage.
- Objects are automatically removed from heap memory when no longer needed.
Stack memory example
- Each call to the
add
method creates a new stack for local variables (a, b, result). - These variables are removed from the stack after the method completes.
Heap memory example
- Objects are stored in the heap.
- The heap is managed by Java.
- Unused objects are automatically removed.
Indirect Addressing
- Multiple names for the same object in memory is possible.
- Different variables or names for the same object are possible, but the memory address remains the same.
- This enables different parts of a program to access the same object.
- Objects in memory may be referenced in multiple contexts, or different parts of a program.
Multiple Referents Example
- Two references (person1 and person2) point to the same object in memory
- Modifying one affects the other because they're the same object.
The Object in Its Passive Version
- Objects are viewed as whole entities, composed of parts (e.g., a car viewed as a whole or its sub-components.)
- Public interface: aspects of an object other objects use to interact.
- Internal functioning: details of an object's operation (e.g., car's internal mechanisms).
- Physical separation is crucial for organization and modularity.
Object Composition
- The concept of primary object that contains other objects (components.)
- Component objects cannot exist separately.
- Access to components is only through the primary object.
- Real-world example such as a house consisting of rooms.
- Objects are created by combining simpler objects to make complex systems.
Dependence Relationship
- Objects interact but their existence is not dependent on each other.
- Provides flexible modeling by allowing objects to interact without strict containment.
The object in its active version
- Objects are not static and can change, move, and react to events.
- Objects respond through communication.
- Objects can transit between states, affecting their attributes and behaviour.
- Active objects add dynamism and complexity to systems.
Object State
- Object state describes the object's current condition.
- State changes occur as object attributes are modified.
- Object identity remains constant despite state changes.
- Objects can alter their state by changing attributes.
- Object identity is preserved despite changes.
- Attribute modification updates the value in memory without changing object address.
- Updating attributes is a common operation in computers.
Object Lifecycle
- An object's lifecycle encompasses phases from creation to deletion.
- Stages: creation, usage, modification, destruction.
- Memory allocation and attribute initialization during creation.
- State changes based on program interactions during usage and modification.
- Removal from memory when no longer needed.
- State changes allow adaptability and enhance system modelling.
Responsibility
- Object's state changes are initiated by operational methods.
- Operations (e.g., change) alter attribute values according to defined rules or conditions.
Exercise
- The composition relationship affects memory management because an object's destruction depends on the object containing it.
QCM
- Several multiple choice questions about the fundamentals of OOP concepts.
QCM (2)
- Exam questions about object lifecycles in OOP.
QCM (3)
- Questions about object attribute changes in OOP.
QCM (4)
- Questions about the connection between methods and attributes in OOP.
Introduction to the Concept of a Class
- A class is a blueprint that defines an object's structure (data and code that operates on the data.)
- Objects are created from class blueprints.
Introduction to the Concept of a Class (2)
- Code example illustrating a class
Vehicle
with an instance variablepassengers
and methodsgetPassengers
andsetPassengers
.
Class Constructor
- A special method (constructor) in a class that initialises the object's attributes when created.
- Constructors have the same name as the class.
- In Java,
this
keyword refers to the current object to access instance variables and methods.
Getter
- A getter method retrieves an object's attribute value.
- It follows the convention
getAttributeName()
Setter
- A setter method sets or updates an object's attribute value.
- It follows the convention
setAttributeName()
.
Object Instance
- In Java, an object instance refers to a particular realisation of a class.
- "new" keyword is used to create an instance.
Example of Object Instance
- Code example showing how to create and use object instance of a class, in this case
Vehicle
.
Instance variables and class variables
- Instance variables belong to a specific object/instance.
- Class variables belong to the class, and are shared among all instances.
- Instance variables have different values per instance of an object; class variables have a single value shared among all objects.
Instance Variables and Class Variables (2)
- Code examples illustrating instance and class variables.
Instance Variables and Class Variables (3)
- Static variables (class variables) are associated with the class itself and have just one copy shared between all instances.
Instance Variables and Class Variables (4)
- A further code example of instance and class variables.
QCM (page 39)
- Multiple choice questions about constructors and the
this
keyword.
QCM (page 40)
- Multiple choice questions about getters, setters, and scope of static variables.
QCM (page 41)
- Multiple choice questions about differences between instance and class variables.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Languages
- OOP languages (like Java or C++) let programmers create their own classes.
- Programmers create new classes, define methods, and specify attributes.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Languages (2)
- Languages such as JavaScript create objects that work with predefined classes or libraries..
- Programmers do not need to define the classes themselves; they can be used to work with objects.
Executing the Method on a Specific Object
- A method needs to know which specific object it applies to.
- The dot (.) operator in instructions connects the method to the specific object.
- The method can access only the attributes of that specific object
How Objects Communicate
- Objects interact to perform tasks.
- Methods are used for operations, e.g., a teacher's 'teach' method or a student's 'learn' method.
Finding Message Recipients
- Determine the type of object being handled.
- Store references to the objects to make the interaction simple.
Finding Message Recipients (2)
- Illustrative examples showing how car and parking class interactions can be more efficient/ easier by referencing the car in the parking class.
What is Inheritance
- Inheritance is a fundamental concept in OOP.
- A new class (subclass) can inherit attributes and methods from an existing class (superclass).
Hierarchy of Objects
- Objects can be organized in a hierarchy: general to specific (e.g., "phone" is a general term, while "iPhone 14" is specific).
Context-Specific Terminology
- General terms (like "car") are sufficient for casual conversation.
- Using broader terms like "means of transportation" can lead to confusion.
Contextual Dependence on the Right Taxonomic Level (2)
- The required level of detail in communication depends on the context.
- Context dictates the necessary level of specificity in communication (e.g., speaking about a car vs. a Toyota Corolla to a mechanic.)
Polymorphism
- Polymorphism allows objects to respond to the same message in different ways based on their type.
- Method or reference variables may behave differently depending on the programming context.
- Polymorphism complements inheritance.
Polymorphism Example
- Clicking on objects changes behaviour depending on the object.
