Study Notes
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) utilizes objects in programming to implement real-world concepts.
- OOP aims to bind data and functions that operate on the data, restricting access from other parts of the code.
OOP Concepts
- Class
- Objects
- Data Abstraction
- Encapsulation
- Inheritance
- Polymorphism
- Dynamic Binding
- Message Passing
Class
- A user-defined data type consisting of data members and member functions.
- Instances of a class can access and use them.
- Represents common properties or methods for all objects of one type.
- Serves as a blueprint for an object.
- Example: A "Car" class has properties like wheels, speed limits and mileage.
Object
- A basic unit of OOP representing real-life entities.
- An instance of a Class.
- Memory is allocated when an object is created (instantiated).
- Has an identity, state, and behavior.
- Contains data and code to manipulate the data.
- Objects interact by exchanging messages without needing to know each other's internal details.
- Example: A "Dog" object has characteristics like color, breed, bark, sleep, and eats.
Data Abstraction
- Providing only essential information about data while hiding background details or implementation.
- Example: A driver knows that pressing the accelerator increases speed and applying brakes stops the car, without knowing the inner mechanisms.
Encapsulation
- Wrapping up data under a single unit.
- Binds code and the data it manipulates.
- Hides the variables or data of a class from other classes.
- Data can only be accessed through member functions of the class where they are declared which is known as data-hiding.
- Example: In a company, the finance section handles financial data. Other sections cannot directly access this data but must request it through the appropriate channels.
Inheritance
- Allows a class to derive properties and characteristics from another class.
- Enables code reuse and reduces redundancy.
- When a class inherits properties from another class, there is no need to rewrite those codes.
Polymorphism
- The ability of a message to be displayed in more than one form.
- An entity having multiple characteristics.
- Example: A person can be a father, husband, and employee simultaneously.
Dynamic Binding
- The code to be executed in response to a function call is determined at runtime.
- Code associated with a procedure call is unknown until the time of the call at run time
Dynamic Method Binding
- Derived class D has all the members of its base class B
- Once D is not hiding any of the public members of B, then an object of D can represent B in any context where a B could be used which is known as subtype polymorphism.
Message Passing
- A form of communication between objects.
- Objects send and receive information to each other.
- A message is a request for a function to execute in the receiving object.
- Message passing involves specifying the object name, function name, and information to be sent.
Why OOP is needed
- Simplifies project development and maintenance.
- Provides data hiding for security.
- Helps solve real-world problems.
- Ensures code reusability.
- Enables writing generic code that works with various data types.
