CH 1 Object-Oriented Programming

The document introduces object-oriented programming. It explains that an object is anything that can be represented by data in a computer's memory and manipulated by a program. An object has properties to store data and methods to manipulate the properties. A class defines the properties and methods for a group of objects. Individual copies of objects from a class are called instances. Creating a new instance is called instantiation. A class acts as a blueprint for instances of an object.

Programming
An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming
An algorithm is a step-by-step process.
A computer program is a step-by-step set of
instructions for a computer.
Every computer program is an algorithm.
Algorithms have a long history in science,
technology, engineering and math.
An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming
Early computers were
far less complex than
computers are today.
Their memories were
smaller and their programs
were much simpler.

Object-Oriented Programming

They usually executed only


one program at a time.

Modern computers are
smaller, but far more
complex than early
computers.
The can execute many
programs at the same time.

An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming
Computer scientists have
introduced the notion of
objects and objectoriented programming to
help manage the growing
complexity of modern
computers.

An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming
An object can be something
in the physical world or
even just an abstract idea.
An airplane, for example, is
a physical object that can
be manipulated by a
computer.

A bank transaction is an
example of an object that
is not physical.

An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming
To a computer, an object is
simply something that can
be represented by data in
the computers memory and
manipulated by computer
programs.

An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming
The data that represent the
object are organized into a
set of properties.
The values stored in an
objects properties at any
one time form the state
of an object.

An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming
Computer programs
implement algorithms that
manipulate the data.
In object-oriented
programming, the programs
that manipulate the
properties of an object are
the objects methods.
An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming
We can think of an object
as a collection of properties
and the methods that are
used to manipulate those
properties.

An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming
A class is a group of
objects with the same
properties and the same
methods.

An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming

Each copy of an object


from a particular class is
called an instance of
the object.

An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming
The act of creating a
new instance of an
object is called
instantiation.

An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming
A class can be thought
of as a blueprint for
instances of an object.

An Introduction to Programming Using

Object-Oriented Programming
Two different instances of
the same class will have
the same properties, but
different values stored in
those properties.
