Study Notes
Software Development - ITATCITO3 - Lecture 6
- Objectives:
- Familiarize with object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts: classes and objects.
- Explain how to use .NET Framework classes from standard libraries.
- Discuss commonly used system classes and their instantiation.
- Demonstrate accessing object fields, calling constructors, and working with static fields.
Classes and Objects
- Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm using objects and their interactions to build computer programs.
- This approach makes problem-solving intuitive.
What is an Object?
- Software objects model real-world objects (people, cars, etc.).
- Objects have characteristics:
- States (attributes): define the object. Examples for a dog: name, fur color, breed.
- Behavior (methods): actions the object can perform. Examples for a dog: barking, sitting, walking.
- Objects combine data and actions in one.
Classes, Attributes, and Behavior
- A class defines an object's characteristics (attributes) and behavior (actions).
- Attributes are variables within the class.
- Behavior is defined by methods within the class.
- Example: a
Dogclass would have attributes likebreed,furColor, and methods likebark(),sit(), andwalk().
Objects – Instances of Classes
- An object is an instance of a class.
- Creating an object is called
instantiation. - Objects have a
state(values) andbehavior(methods) associated with the class.
Classes in C#
- C# classes are defined with the keyword
class. - Classes contain:
Fields: member variables of a specific type.Properties: special fields enhancing data management.Methods: implement data manipulation.
An Example Class (Cat)
- The
Catclass models a cat with the attributesNameandColor.
Dealing with Class Cat
- The
Catclass keeps its values inprivatefields (name,color). - Two constructors are defined (with and without parameters).
- Example of using the
Catclass includingMainmethod.
System Classes
System.Console: a system class used in C# applications (e.g.,Console.WriteLine).String,Environment,Math: standard libraries for building applications.
Creating and Using Objects – I
- Creating objects from defined classes is performed via the
newoperator. - The object's reference, not a copy of the object, is stored in the variable.
- Objects are created on the
heap, while variables referring to them reside on thestack.
Creating Objects with Set Parameters (more details)
- Creating objects of a class with specific parameter values when instantiated.
- These parameters initialize the object's attributes.
- Objects are stored in memory, and references are used to access them.
Access to Fields and Methods of an Object
- Access object fields, methods, and properties using the dot operator (e.g.,
myCat.Name).
Constructors – I
- Constructors are special class methods automatically called when an object is created.
- Constructors initialize the object's data.
- They have the same name as the class.
- Can be parameterless or parameterized.
Constructors – II
- The example provided shows parameterless and parameterized constructors, where constructors are initialized differently.
Static Fields and Methods – I
- Static members (fields and methods) are associated with the class, not specific objects.
- Static members can be used without creating an object of that class.
Static Fields and Methods – II
- Static fields are initialized when the class is first used, not when objects are created.
Static Fields and Methods – III
- This section describes the
NextValue()method which increments a value each time it's called, demonstrating a static method's behavior.
Static Fields and Methods – IV
- The
Sequenceclass example demonstrates static members, where a private constructor prevents instantiation of the class.
Examples of System C# Classes (Environment)
Environment.TickCount: returns the number of milliseconds since the computer started.
System.Math Class
System.Mathclass provides mathematical functions (e.g.,Math.PI, trigonometric functions).
System.Random Class
System.Randomclass for generating random numbers.- Using
Next(n)generates a random number in the range [0, n).
