Flashcards

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

A programming approach that emphasizes data and methods encapsulated within objects, promoting code reusability and modularity.

Object

A real-world entity that has properties (characteristics) and behaviors (actions). Examples include a car (properties: color, brand; behaviors: drive, stop) or a dog (properties: breed, size; behaviors: bark, eat).

Class

A blueprint or template that defines the properties and behaviors of objects.

Inheritance

A fundamental OOPS concept that allows one class to inherit (derive) characteristics from another, promoting code sharing and reusability.

What is a Class?

A blueprint or template that defines the characteristics and behaviors of objects. It describes the properties (data members) and actions (methods) that objects of that class will have.

Study Notes

Java Overview

  • Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language.
  • Java is platform-independent.
  • Java is primarily used for application programming.
  • Java is widely used in web applications, mobile applications, enterprise applications, and middleware applications.

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) vs. Procedural Programming

  • Object-Oriented Programming:
    • Divides programs into objects.
    • Uses a bottom-up approach.
    • Has access modifiers.
    • Objects communicate with each other through member functions.
    • More secure.
    • Supports overloading.
  • Procedural Programming:
    • Divides programs into functions.
    • Uses a top-down approach.
    • Does not have access modifiers.
    • Data can move freely between functions.
    • Less secure.
    • Does not support overloading.

Programming Paradigm

  • "Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand."
  • This quote emphasizes the importance of writing readable, maintainable code.
  • Programming without understanding paradigms results in increased complexity, less readability, and less structure, leading to difficulties in testing, changing, and maintaining the code.

OOPs Concepts

  • Class: A blueprint for creating objects.
  • Object: An instance of a class, representing a real-world entity
  • Abstraction: Showing only essential properties and hiding implementation details.
  • Encapsulation: Binding variables and methods under a single unit.
  • Inheritance: Acquiring properties of one class to another class.
  • Polymorphism: Performing the same task in different ways; includes method overloading and method overriding.

Summary of OOPs Example:

  • Object: A real-world entity, like a "Dog"
  • Class: Blueprint for defining "Dog," including properties (breed, size) and behaviors (eat, bark)
