    Study Notes

    Object Oriented Programming (OOP)

    • OOP is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects", entities containing data (attributes) and code (methods).
    • OOP is a popular programming paradigm where programs are designed using interacting objects that mirror real-world entities.
    • Many OOP languages are class-based, where objects are instances of classes that define their types.
    • Java
    • C++
    • C#
    • Python
    • PHP
    • JavaScript
    • Ruby
    • Perl
    • Objective-C
    • Dart
    • Swift
    • Scala

    Characteristics of Procedural Oriented Programming (POP)

    • Emphasizes procedures (algorithms)
    • Large programs are divided into smaller functions
    • Functions share global data
    • Data is freely shared among functions
    • Functions transform data
    • Follows a top-down approach in program design

    Features of OOP

    • Emphasis on data rather than procedures
    • Programs are divided into objects
    • Objects are characterized by functions (methods) operating on their data
    • Functions operating on an object's data are tied together within the object
    • Data is hidden (encapsulation) and inaccessible to external functions
    • Objects communicate through functions (message passing)
    • New data and functions can be easily added as needed
    • Follows a bottom-up approach in program design

    Differences between POP and OOP

    • POP focuses on procedures and operations, while OOP focuses on objects.
    • POP programs are structured as collections of functions, while OOP programs are structured as collections of objects.
    • POP functions share global data, while OOP objects encapsulate their data.
    • POP programs prioritize algorithms, while OOP programs prioritize data and object interactions.
    • POP generally follows a top-down approach, while OOP follows a bottom-up approach.

    Basic Concepts of OOP

    • Object: A runtime entity representing a distinguishable real-world entity (person, place, bank account, etc.). Objects contain both data (attributes) and code (methods).
    • Class: A blueprint for creating objects with similar attributes and behaviors. It defines the data members (attributes) and member functions (methods) that objects of the class will possess.
    • Data Abstraction and Encapsulation: The process of wrapping data and functions into a single unit (class). Data encapsulation ensures that data is hidden from external access, controlled by the class's functions. Abstraction focuses on essential features without unnecessary details.
    • Inheritance: A mechanism where objects of one class (derived class) inherit properties and behaviors from another class (base class). It promotes code reusability and creates hierarchies of classes.
    • Polymorphism: The ability of an object to take on multiple forms. It means that a single operation can behave differently depending on the object's type. Polymorphism is achieved through operator overloading (operators performing different functions) and function overloading (using a single function name for different tasks).
    • Dynamic binding (late binding): The process of associating code with a procedure call at runtime (rather than at compile time). This allows for flexibility and polymorphism.
    • Message passing: Objects communicate with each other by sending and receiving information. A message is a request to execute a function (method) on a receiving object.

    Advantages of OOP

    • Reusability of code through inheritance
    • Encapsulation provides protection and data security
    • Multiple objects can coexist without interference
    • Programs can be divided into modular classes and objects
    • Simple communication with external systems through message passing
    • Reduced design, coding, and testing costs due to reusability
    • Easy scalability of systems
    • Improved management of software complexity

    C++ Applications

    • C++ enables the construction of object-oriented libraries for reuse by multiple programmers.
    • The C component of C++ allows for detailed control over system resources and memory management.

    Class Definition and Structure in C++

    • A user-defined data type containing data members (attributes) and member functions (methods)
    • Access specifiers control visibility and access to members (public, protected, private)
    • Classes are like blueprints: they define the structure and behavior of objects, but they don't allocate memory until an object is created.

    Object Creation and Memory

    • Creating an object (called instantiation) allocates memory for storing its data members (attributes)
    • Objects are variables of a class type.

    Operators in C++

    • Scope resolution operator (::): Used to access members of a class from outside the class
    • Arrow operator (->): Used to access members of an object pointed to by a pointer
    • Memory management operators (new and delete): Used to allocate and deallocate memory for objects dynamically
    • Type casting: Allows conversion between different data types
    • Pointer to object: A pointer variable that stores the memory address of an object
    • The "this" pointer: A special pointer available within a class's member functions, automatically pointing to the object currently being accessed

    Objects and Arrays

    • Array of Objects: An array containing multiple objects of the same class
    • Arrays inside objects: Objects can contain arrays as data members to store collections of data

    Namespaces

    • Used to organize and group related classes and functions
    • Avoid naming conflicts when working with large projects

    Nested/Inner Classes

    • A class defined within another class
    • Inner classes have access to the enclosing class's private and protected members
