What is object-oriented programming?
Object-oriented programming is a method of implementation in which programs are organized as cooperative collections of objects, each representing an instance of some class, united via inheritance relationships.

Study Notes
Learning Outcomes
- Students will revise Object Oriented Concepts learned in Year 1.
- Key topics include Object Oriented Programming (OOP), Classes and Objects, Abstraction, Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Interfaces.
- Differences between C++ and Java in writing simple OOP programs will be explored.
Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
- OOP organizes programs as cooperative collections of objects.
- Each object is an instance of a class and belongs to a hierarchy of classes via inheritance relationships.
- Allows for solving complex problems more easily by utilizing collaboration among objects.
Complex Systems
- A complex system is created using smaller, independent subsystems.
- These subsystems contain their own data and functions.
- Reusable independent units can be applied to various problems.
Classes
- A class serves as an abstract definition of a data type.
- It encompasses data elements (attributes) and operations (methods) applicable to the data type.
- Entities represented can include things, people, or abstract concepts.
Objects
- An object is a specific instance of a class, functioning as a blueprint for data organization.
- Objects store data and perform actions based on the defined attributes and methods of their class.
- Multiple objects can be created with the same structure based on a single class definition.
Example of Class in C++
- The class definition for a Student in C++ includes attributes like
studentNo
,name
, andCA_marks
. - Attributes in classes can be private, controlling their accessibility and encapsulating the data.
