Study Notes
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Benefits
- Modular Code: OOP breaks down code into smaller, manageable units called classes.
- Flexibility: Easier to modify code parts without affecting others.
- Reusability: Classes can be used in different programs.
OOP Principles
Inheritance
- Subclasses inherit properties and methods from a base class.
-
Example: The
Dog
class inherits from theAnimal
class, inheriting thespeak()
method.Dog
then overrides it to give a specific dog sound.
Encapsulation
- Hides internal object state. Interactions happen only through methods.
-
Example:
BankAccount
class has a private_balance
property.deposit()
andgetBalance()
control access.
Abstraction
- Simplified complex realities. Classes model essential behaviors and properties.
-
Example:
Shape
class defines an area method, which subclasses likeCircle
must override to give calculation for their shape specifics.
Polymorphism
- Same interface for different data types. Different objects react to the same method call in their own particular way.
-
Example: Both
Bird
andPenguin
classes have afly()
method, but their behavior is different.
