Programming Techniques

Structured Programming

• Uses a top-down approach to break down a program into smaller, manageable modules
• Emphasizes simplicity, clarity, and modularity
• Techniques:
  • Modularization: Divide program into smaller, independent modules
  • Abstraction: Focus on essential features, ignore non-essential details
  • Hierarchical structure: Organize modules in a hierarchical structure

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

• Programs organized around objects and classes
• Key concepts:
  • Encapsulation: Bundle data and methods that operate on that data
  • Inheritance: Create new classes based on existing classes
  • Polymorphism: Objects of different classes respond to the same method call
  • Abstraction: Focus on essential features, ignore non-essential details

Functional Programming

• Programs composed of pure functions, each with a specific task
• Key concepts:
  • Immutable data: Data cannot be changed once created
  • Recursion: Functions call themselves to solve problems
  • Higher-order functions: Functions that take other functions as arguments or return functions as output
  • Closures: Functions with access to their own scope and outer scope

Event-Driven Programming

• Programs respond to events, such as user interactions or network requests
• Key concepts:
  • Event listeners: Functions that respond to specific events
  • Event handlers: Functions that handle events
  • Callbacks: Functions passed as arguments to other functions, executed when a specific event occurs

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP)

• Programs modularize cross-cutting concerns, such as error handling and logging
• Key concepts:
  • Aspects: Modular units that implement cross-cutting concerns
  • Joinpoints: Specific points in a program where aspects can be applied
  • Pointcuts: Predicates that determine when aspects are applied

Programming Techniques

Structured Programming

• Uses a top-down approach to break down a program into smaller, manageable modules
• Emphasizes simplicity, clarity, and modularity to improve program structure and maintainability
• Techniques:
  • Modularization: Divide program into smaller, independent modules to reduce complexity
  • Abstraction: Focus on essential features and ignore non-essential details to enhance program clarity
  • Hierarchical structure: Organize modules in a hierarchical structure to facilitate program understanding

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

• Organizes programs around objects and classes to model real-world objects and systems
• Key concepts:
  • Encapsulation: Bundles data and methods that operate on that data to restrict access and improve data integrity
  • Inheritance: Creates new classes based on existing classes to promote code reuse and reduce duplication
  • Polymorphism: Enables objects of different classes to respond to the same method call, increasing program flexibility
  • Abstraction: Focuses on essential features and ignores non-essential details to enhance program modularity

Functional Programming

• Composes programs from pure functions, each with a specific task to improve program predictability and maintainability
• Key concepts:
  • Immutable data: Ensures data cannot be changed once created, reducing side effects and improving program stability
  • Recursion: Enables functions to call themselves to solve problems, reducing code complexity
  • Higher-order functions: Allows functions to take other functions as arguments or return functions as output, increasing program flexibility
  • Closures: Enables functions to access their own scope and outer scope, improving program modularity

Event-Driven Programming

• Programs respond to events, such as user interactions or network requests, to improve program interactivity and responsiveness
• Key concepts:
  • Event listeners: Registers functions that respond to specific events, increasing program flexibility
  • Event handlers: Defines functions that handle events, improving program responsiveness
  • Callbacks: Passes functions as arguments to other functions, executing them when a specific event occurs, enhancing program interactivity

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP)

• Modularizes cross-cutting concerns, such as error handling and logging, to improve program modularity and maintainability
• Key concepts:
  • Aspects: Implements modular units that address cross-cutting concerns, reducing code duplication
  • Joinpoints: Identifies specific points in a program where aspects can be applied, enhancing program flexibility
  • Pointcuts: Defines predicates that determine when aspects are applied, improving program customization
