Implementation of Object Models

The document discusses implementing object models in C++ by covering steps like defining classes, relationships between classes through inheritance, composition and aggregation, attributes as class data members, and functions as class member functions. It provides guidance on using proper C++ syntax and conventions for classes, relationships, data types, access specifiers, and other object-oriented concepts.

C++ Implementation of Object Models

Objective
The objective of this activity is to give idea of practical implementation of basic object
oriented concepts like:
 Abstraction
 Encapsulation
 Association
 Composition
 Inheritance

C++ Implementation for given Object Models.


You are required to provide a practical implementation in C++ for all given scenarios.

Step to transfer Object Model in C++ Implementation


Following step should be followed to convert and object model into a real coding
program using C++ language.

Step 1: C++ Implementation for Classes

 Use standard notation of C++ for declaring classes.


 Use appropriate C++ syntax for declaring and defining each class.
 Should class interface and implementation will be done in same .cpp file or there
should be a separation of interface and implementation.
 Think about access specifiers, which specifier should be used and why.

Step 2: C++ Implementation of relationship between classes

 In this step you are required to code relationship between classes using C++
conventions.
 C++ provides proper mechanism for usage of inheritance, composition and
aggregation. All these are already discussed in lectures in great details.
 Follow standard C++ syntax for respective relationship.
 How a class will interact in terms of C++ code with other class if it is inherited?
 How a class will interact in terms of C++ code with other class if it is aggregated?
 How a class will interact in terms of C++ code with other class if it is composed
of?
 How we can access/use other class data members, member function for identified
relationship?

Step 3: C++ Implementation of Attributes

 Your identified attributes will become class data members.


 Use standard notation of C++.
 Think about appropriate data types to define and declare your class data members.
 Before declaring it, think that whether this can be ‘constant data member’ or
‘static data member’. If not then why?

Step 4: C++ Implementation of Functions

 Your identified functionality will become class member’s functions.


 Use appropriate data types/return type to declare them.
 Also use standard notation of C++ for functions. You can take help from cs201
lecture which covers functions.
 Along with these identified member functions of classes there may be some
setters and getters functions which must be implemented accordingly to ensure
proper OOP philosophy.
 Constructors and destructor are must for each class; never ignore them while
implementing other functionality. Think about copy constructers and overloaded
constructors, they may be useful to you.
