Object Oriented Programming (OOP) - CS304 Power Point Slides Lecture 03

1) Abstraction is a concept in object-oriented programming that allows developers to hide unnecessary details from users and focus only on the details that are relevant to a particular perspective or context. 2) Classes are templates that define common attributes and behaviors of objects. For example, Ali, Anam, and Sohail are all instances of the Student class. 3) Inheritance allows classes to inherit attributes and behaviors from other classes. For example, the Student class inherits from the Person class and adds its own attributes like program and studyYear.

is a way to cope with

Principle

of abstraction:

Capture only those details about an object that are relevant to current perspective

Example Abstraction
Ali is a PhD student and teaches BS students

Abstraction Advantages
Simplifies

details

the model by hiding irrelevant

Abstraction

provides the freedom to defer implementation decisions by avoiding commitment to details

Classes
In

an OO model, some of the objects exhibit identical characteristics (information structure and behaviour)
say that they belong to the same class

We

Example Class
Ali

studies mathematics Anam studies physics Sohail studies chemistry


Each

one is a Student We say these objects are instances of the Student class

Example Class
Ahsan

teaches mathematics Aamir teaches computer science Atif teaches physics


Each

one is a teacher We say these objects are instances of the Teacher class

Inheritance
A

child inherits characteristics of its parents

Besides

inherited characteristics, a child may have its own unique characteristics

Inheritance in Classes
If

a class B inherits from class A then it contains all the characteristics (information structure and behaviour) of class A The parent class is called base class and the child class is called derived class Besides inherited characteristics, derived class may have its own unique characteristics

Example Inheritance
Person

Student Teacher

Doctor

Example Inheritance
Shape

Line Circle

Triangle

Inheritance IS A or IS A KIND OF Relationship


Each

derived class is a special kind of its base class

Example IS A Relationship
Person

Student

Teacher

Doctor

Example IS A Relationship
Shape

Circle
radius draw computeArea

Triangle
Line

Inheritance Advantages
Reuse
Less

redundancy
maintainability

Increased

Reuse with Inheritance


Main

purpose of inheritance is reuse We can easily add new classes by inheriting from existing classes
Select an existing class closer to the desired functionality Create a new class and inherit it from the selected class Add to and/or modify the inherited functionality

Example Reuse
Shape
color coord draw rotate setColor

Circle
radius draw computeArea

Triangle
Line
length draw angle draw computeArea

Example Reuse
