Programming paradigm

A fundamental approach to designing and structuring computer programs, defining principles, styles, and concepts for code organization and understanding.

Procedural programming

A programming style where code is organized as a sequence of instructions, often grouped into functions, executed by a machine to produce a specific effect.

Object-oriented programming (OOP)

A way to organize code using 'objects' that represent real-world entities. These objects have associated characteristics and actions.

Dissociation between data and functions in Procedural Programming

In procedural programming, data is separate from the functions that manipulate it. This separation can lead to challenges in code reuse, maintenance, and system evolution.

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.
