Study Notes
Types of Inheritance
- Single Inheritance: A derived class inherits features from one superclass. This allows for a straightforward class hierarchy.
- Multilevel Inheritance: A derived class inherits from a base class, which can also serve as a base for another derived class, creating a multi-level structure. In Java, direct access to grandparent class members is restricted.
- Hierarchical Inheritance: A single superclass is the base for multiple subclasses, allowing for the organization of classes into a hierarchy.
Polymorphism
- Defined as the ability to perform a single task in multiple ways. For example, different methods can be used to communicate with customers or represent various shapes.
- Achieved in Java through method overloading (using the same method name with different parameters) and method overriding (redefining a method in a subclass).
- Illustrates diversity in behavior, e.g., different animals (cat, dog) communicating with unique sounds.
Objects
- State: Represented by attributes of an object that reflect its properties.
- Behavior: Determined by methods that reflect how an object interacts with other objects.
- Identity: Provides a unique name to each object, facilitating interaction between objects.
Class
- A collection of objects, serving as a logical entity or blueprint for creating individual objects.
- Does not consume memory space until objects are instantiated.
Inheritance
- The process where one object inherits the attributes and behaviors of another, promoting code reusability and enabling runtime polymorphism.
Abstraction
- The concept of hiding the internal implementation details while exposing only the necessary functionalities. In Java, this is achieved using abstract classes and interfaces.
Encapsulation
- The practice of wrapping code and data together into a single unit to restrict access to certain components.
- A Java class exemplifies encapsulation, and a Java Bean represents a fully encapsulated class with private data members.
Advantages of OOP over Procedure-Oriented Programming
- Simplified Development and Maintenance: OOP makes managing code easier as project size grows compared to procedure-oriented approaches.
- Data Hiding: OOP allows encapsulation of data, limiting global data access.
- Real-World Simulation: OOP effectively represents and solves complex real-world problems through object modeling.
Object-Oriented vs Object-Based Programming Languages
- Object-oriented programming languages encompass all OOP principles, including inheritance.
- Object-based programming languages implement other OOP features but exclude inheritance, with JavaScript and VBSCRIPT noted as examples.
