Questions and Answers

What is a significant advantage of using encapsulation in OOP?

  • It provides a way to hide an object's internal state. (correct)
  • It simplifies the inheritance structure of classes.
  • It enables direct access to object properties from outside the class.
  • It allows multiple classes to share methods directly.
  • Which of the following best describes polymorphism in OOP?

  • It is a technique for hiding details of object implementation.
  • It allows classes to inherit properties from multiple parent classes.
  • It enables different classes to be accessed through a common interface. (correct)
  • It restricts object attributes to private access only.
  • In the context of inheritance, what does a subclass do?

  • Completely overrides all properties of the base class.
  • Creates a new standalone class with no relation to other classes.
  • Requires all properties from the base class to be public.
  • Provides a way to redefine methods of its parent class. (correct)
  • Which statement accurately reflects the principle of abstraction in OOP?

    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 the Animal class, inheriting the speak() 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() and getBalance() control access.

    Abstraction

    • Simplified complex realities. Classes model essential behaviors and properties.
    • Example: Shape class defines an area method, which subclasses like Circle 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 and Penguin classes have a fly() method, but their behavior is different.
