    Study Notes

    Inheritance and Reusability

    • Inheritance promotes code reusability, allowing new classes to inherit attributes and methods from existing classes.

    Abstraction

    • Abstraction involves showcasing only essential aspects while concealing implementation details.
    • Data abstraction provides a simplified view of data, similar to how a car driver interacts with a vehicle without understanding its mechanics.

    Encapsulation

    • Encapsulation is about bundling data and related functions into a single unit, enhancing data protection.
    • Different organizational sections (like finance, accounts, sales) exemplify encapsulation in real life.

    Structure of C++ Program

    • Basic C++ program structure can include or exclude class definitions.
    • Key sections of a C++ program:
      • Documentation Section: Includes program headings and comments (single-line with "//" and multi-line with "/.../").
      • Pre-processor Directives: Compiler statements that prepare the code before actual compilation.
      • Global Declaration Section: Manages global variables accessible by all functions.
      • Class Definitions: Describes user-defined data types.
      • Main Function: Entry point of the program defined as main().

    Procedural Programming

    • Advantages include simplicity in compilers, code reuse, easy flow tracking, and lower memory requirements.
    • Disadvantages encompass lack of data security, difficulty in relating to real-world entities, and focus on operations rather than data.

    Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

    • OOP languages include Java, C++, and C#.NET, focusing primarily on data rather than functions.
    • Combines data and functions within classes, encrypting data usage through access modifiers (like private).
    • Emphasizes the structured approach where objects interact, leading to easy maintenance and enhancement.
    • Supports adding new data and functions flexibly, enhancing scalability.

    Advantages of OOP

    • Effectively models real-world entities, aiding in program understanding.
    • Encourages class reusability, expediting development.
    • Facilitates easier testing, management, and maintenance, especially suited for large projects.

    Disadvantages of OOP

    • Risk of over-generalization in class definitions can hinder specificity.
    • Class relationships may become forced or unrealistic over time.
    • OOP design can be complex and requires meticulous planning and skilled programming.

    Comparison: Procedural vs Object-Oriented Programming

    • Procedural programming approaches tasks top-to-bottom with a focus on functions, while OOP utilizes a bottom-up approach focused on data.
    • Procedural programming represents tasks as modular functions, whereas OOP organizes tasks into reusable objects.
    • Data in procedural programming moves freely among functions, while in OOP, data access is restricted to enhance security.
