Study Notes
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts
- OOP is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects", which contain data and methods to operate on that data.
- Key OOP concepts include: classes, objects, polymorphism, inheritance, encapsulation, and abstraction.
Classes
- Classes are blueprints for creating objects.
- A class defines the data (attributes/fields) and the methods (actions) that objects of that class will have.
- Classes are used to model real-world entities.
- For example, a "Car" class might have fields for color, model, year, and methods for starting, driving, braking.
- Each instance of a class is called an object.
Objects
- Objects are instances of a class.
- Objects have a specific state and behavior (data and methods) defined by their respective class.
- Creating an object is called instantiation.
- Objects are created from a class.
- Objects communicate with each other through methods.
Abstraction
- Abstraction is a principle of hiding complex implementation details and showing only essential information.
- It simplifies the interaction with objects by providing a simplified interface.
- Abstraction hides internal complexities and shows only necessary details. This is crucial for simplifying interaction with the class.
- Examples include the
Console.WriteLinemethod; users don't need to know the underlying implementation. - Abstract classes cannot be instantiated. They provide a template for other classes to implement its methods.
Encapsulation
- Encapsulation bundles data (fields) and methods that operate on that data, within a single unit (the class).
- The internal workings are hidden. Only through carefully designed methods can external code access and modify object data.
- Encapsulation improves code modularity and maintainability.
- It helps protect internal data integrity.
Inheritance
- Inheritance is a way to create new classes (derived/child classes) based on existing classes (base/parent classes).
- Child classes inherit properties and methods from their parent classes.
- Inheritance promotes code reuse and creates a class hierarchy.
- It establishes an "is-a" relationship between classes.
Polymorphism
- Polymorphism enables objects of different classes to respond to the same method call in their own specific ways.
- Polymorphism allows methods to have the same name but different implementations in related classes.
- Method overloading is a form of polymorphism.
- It allows for flexibility in responding to method calls.
Implementation in Code
- Classes are defined using a particular programming language's syntax (e.g. C#).
- The design of classes and objects depend heavily on programming paradigms and the problem to solve.
- Methods are functions that define behavior within a class.
- Creating objects involves allocating memory to store the object's fields/data.
