CS 103 Computer Programming: Week 02

This document discusses object-oriented programming concepts like classes, objects, and the relationship between them. It defines a class as a blueprint or template for objects, and an object as an instance of a class. Classes contain attributes and behaviors that their object instances will have. The document uses examples like a bicycle class and individual bicycle objects to illustrate the differences between classes and objects. It also covers concepts like generalization and specialization of classes.

An object is a self-contained entity


with attributes and behaviors

Discussion

• Object belongs to a group.


• Which are similar.
• Have some common attributes.
• Have some common behaviors.
• We can categorized objects on some
basic features …. ?

Shoe – An Object
Properties Behavior
• Size (a number) • Put on
• Width (C, D, EEEE, etc.) • Take off
• Style (Sneaker, High Heel, Golf, • Tie
etc.) • Lace

• Technical Definition:

Class
• A class is an abstraction of its
instances. It defines all the
attributes and methods that its
instances must also have.

Person

name
sex
age

tellSex()
tellAge()

Class
• Collection of Similar object.
– The objects that share some common features.
– It is the a design of an object.
– It is a detail of an object.
– It tell us what an object contains in it.

Class
• Technical Definition:
– “ A class is blueprint of an object”
– “ A class is a template of an object”
– A class is a group of objects with the same properties and
the same behavior.

Instance and Instantiation


• Each copy of an object from a particular class
is called an instance of the class.
• The act of creating a new instance of a class is
called instantiation.

Classes & Objects

Class Vs Instance-Example
• A class is like a recipe for red velvet cake.
• The recipe itself is not a cake.
• You can't eat the recipe (or at least wouldn't want
to).
• If you correctly do what the recipe tells you to do
(instantiate it) then you have an edible cake.
• That edible cake is an instance of the red velvet cake
class.

Class Vs Object
• Class Bicycle: • Object: Ali’s Bicycle

Bicycle
Speed
Gear
ChangeGear()
SpeedUp()
ApplyBrake()

Instances of a Class- Bicycle

Two different instances of


the same class will have the
same properties, but
different values stored in
those properties.

Summarize
• A class :
– It’s a blue print .
– It’s a design or template.

An Object:
– Its an instance of a class.
– Implementation of a class.

NOTE: Classes are invisible, object are visible

Generalized Class
• The class that only exhibits the common features
of its objects.

• Examples:

– ANIMAL
– BIRDS
– HUMAN
– No object of generalized class is found.

Specialized Class
• The class that exhibits different or unique
features (behaviors)

• ANIMAL (Generalized)
– Specialized: WILD
ANIMAL
PET
• Mammals
