Study Notes
Chapter 3: From Procedural to Object-Oriented (OO)
- The chapter covers the transition from procedural to object-oriented programming.
- Dr. Sarra Namane, from the Department of Computer Science at Badji Mokhtar University, Annaba, taught the class to 2nd year engineering students in 2024/2025.
- The presentation compares procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms.
Programming Paradigms Compared
- Procedural programming involves a sequence of instructions, often grouped into functions, executing in a predefined order.
- Object-oriented programming focuses on objects representing real-world entities, with associated characteristics (data) and actions (methods).
Introduction to Programming Paradigms
- Programming paradigms are fundamental approaches to designing and structuring computer programs.
- Each paradigm defines principles, styles, and concepts guiding developers in writing, organizing, and understanding code.
What is Procedural Programming?
- Procedural programming uses a sequence of instructions (functions) operating on data.
- Key characteristics include data and function dissociation, sequential execution, and potential difficulties in system evolution, maintenance, code reuse, and data access.
- Example languages: C, Pascal.
What is Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?
- OOP organizes code using objects representing real-world entities.
- Objects combine data and methods that operate on the data.
- Objects communicate via messages.
- OOP models real-world entities more closely.
Principles of Object-Oriented Programming
- OOP utilizes principles like encapsulation, abstraction, polymorphism, and inheritance.
- These elements create a more organized and maintainable code structure.
Advantages of OOP
- Offers modularity, improved productivity, flexibility, security, scalability, and code reuse.
- This simplifies development, testing, and maintenance of software.
Object-Oriented Objective: The Adventures of OOP
- OOP transforms classes from simple data containers into active objects.
- Methods allow for controlled access/modification of object states.
- OOP has a long history, starting with Simula in 1966.
- Modern developments in OOP are often viewed as improvements on established principles.
An Example of a Simple Ecosystem Simulation in Java
- This exercise simulates a forest ecosystem with trees, animals, and a river.
- Animal movement: Animals can move toward a river, a tree, or away from other animals, based on the closest object within their sensing range.
- Tree behavior: Trees provide food and shelter, and grow over time.
- River behavior: The river provides water for the animals and its level decreases due to evaporation.
- Interactions: Includes how animals gain energy from interacting with trees or water. Ecosystem elements evolve with time.
Functional Dependence and Software Independence
- Functional dependence refers to interactions between classes or objects in an OO program.
- Software independence is the capability of classes or objects to be developed, tested, and maintained separately, without affecting other parts of the system.
Inheritance and Polymorphism
- Inheritance allows a new class (subclass) to inherit properties and behaviours (variables and methods) from an existing class (superclass).
- This reduces code duplication and organizes code logically.
- Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.
- Methods can behave differently based on the specific object calling them.
Class Collaboration in Pairs
- In OOP, collaboration among classes is common through messages exchanged between objects.
- This structured approach simplifies the program's design and makes it easier to assign different parts to programmers.
Example of Class Collaboration (Forest Ecosystem Example)
- Classes in the forest ecosystem (Deer, Wolf, Plant, Water) represent entities and interactions.
- Classes interact through methods (like
eatPlant(),drinkWater(),huntDeer()). - Interactions reflect the ecosystem's dynamics.
00 vs. Procedural Performance
- Object-oriented programs might use more memory and processing time due to object handling and dynamic method dispatch during runtime.
- However, OOP's main benefit lies in development and maintenance.
Learning Activity: Why OOP Programs Use More Memory and CPU
- Object proliferation and instance variables in OOP lead to increased memory usage compared to procedural programming.
Learning Activity (2): CPU Usage
- Dynamic method dispatch and garbage collection contribute to additional CPU usage in OOP programs due to runtime method calls and memory management tasks.
QCM (Multiple Choice Questions)
- Questions about the characteristics and concepts of both procedural and object-oriented programming.
References
- List of books, articles, and online resources relevant to the material covered.
