Module 6 : Essentials of Object Oriented Programming
- 1. Essentials of Object- Oriented Programming
- 2. Overview Classes and Objects Using Encapsulation C# and Object Orientation Defining Object-Oriented Systems
- 3. Classes and Objects What Is a Class? What Is an Object? Comparing Classes to Structs Abstraction
- 4. What Is a Class? For the philosopher… An artifact of human classification! Classify based on common behavior or attributes Agree on descriptions and names of useful classes Create vocabulary; we communicate; we think! For the object-oriented programmer… A named syntactic construct that describes common behavior and attributes A data structure that includes both data and functions CAR?
- 5. What Is an Object? An object is an instance of a class Objects exhibit: Identity: Objects are distinguishable from one another Behavior: Objects can perform tasks State: Objects store information
- 6. Comparing Classes to Structs A struct is a blueprint for a value No identity, accessible state, no added behavior A class is a blueprint for an object Identity, inaccessible state, added behavior struct Time class BankAccount { { public int hour; ... public int minute; ... } }
- 7. Abstraction Abstraction is selective ignorance Decide what is important and what is not Focus and depend on what is important Ignore and do not depend on what is unimportant Use encapsulation to enforce an abstraction The purpose of abstraction is not to be vague, but to create a new semantic level in which one can be absolutely precise. Edsger Dijkstra
- 8. Using Encapsulation Combining Data and Methods Controlling Access Visibility Why Encapsulate? Object Data Using Static Data Using Static Methods
- 9. Combining Data and Methods Combine the data and methods in a single capsule The capsule boundary forms an inside and an outside Withdraw( ) Deposit( ) balance Withdraw( ) Deposit( ) balance BankAccount ? BankAccount ?
- 10. Controlling Access Visibility Methods are public, accessible from the outside Data is private, accessible only from the inside Withdraw( ) Deposit( ) balance Withdraw( ) Deposit( ) balance BankAccount ?BankAccount ?
- 11. Why Encapsulate? Allows control Use of the object is solely through the public methods Allows change Use of the object is unaffected if the private data type changes Withdraw( ) Deposit( ) dollars 12 Withdraw( ) Deposit( ) balance 12.56 cents 56
- 12. Object Data Object data describes information for individual objects For example, each bank account has its own balance. If two accounts have the same balance, it is only a coincidence. Withdraw( ) Deposit( ) balance 12.56 owner "Bert" Withdraw( ) Deposit( ) balance 12.56 owner "Fred"
- 13. Using Static Data Static data describes information for all objects of a class For example, suppose all accounts share the same interest rate. Storing the interest rate in every account would be a bad idea. Why? Withdraw( ) Deposit( ) balance 12.56 interest 7% Withdraw( ) Deposit( ) balance 99.12 interest 7%
- 14. Using Static Methods Static methods can only access static data A static method is called on the class, not the object InterestRate( ) interest 7% Withdraw( ) Deposit( ) balance 99.12 owner "Fred" An account objectThe account class Classes contain static data and static methods Objects contain object data and object methods
- 15. C# and Object Orientation Hello, World Revisited Defining Simple Classes Instantiating New Objects Using the this Operator Creating Nested Classes Accessing Nested Classes
- 16. Hello, World Revisited using System; class Hello { public static int Main( ) { Console.WriteLine("Hello, World"); return 0; } }
- 17. Defining Simple Classes Data and methods together inside a class Methods are public, data is private class BankAccount { public void Withdraw(decimal amount) { ... } public void Deposit(decimal amount) { ... } private decimal balance; private string name; } Public methods describe accessible behaviour Private fields describe inaccessible state
- 18. Instantiating New Objects Declaring a class variable does not create an object Use the new operator to create an object class Program { static void Main( ) { Time now; now.hour = 11; BankAccount yours = new BankAccount( ); yours.Deposit(999999M); } } hour minute now yours ... ... new BankAccount object
- 19. Using the this Keyword The this keyword refers to the object used to call the method Useful when identifiers from different scopes clash class BankAccount { ... public void SetName(string name) { this.name = name; } private string name; } If this statement were name = name; What would happen?
- 20. Creating Nested Classes Classes can be nested inside other classes class Program { static void Main( ) { Bank.Account yours = new Bank.Account( ); } } class Bank { ... class Account { ... } } The full name of the nested class includes the name of the outer class
- 21. Accessing Nested Classes Nested classes can also be declared as public or private class Bank { public class Account { ... } private class AccountNumberGenerator { ... } } class Program { static void Main( ) { Bank.Account accessible; Bank.AccountNumberGenerator inaccessible; } }
- 22. Defining Object-Oriented Systems Inheritance Class Hierarchies Single and Multiple Inheritance Polymorphism Abstract Base Classes Interfaces Early and Late Binding
- 23. Inheritance Inheritance specifies an “is a kind of" relationship Inheritance is a class relationship New classes specialize existing classes Musician Violin Player Base class Derived class Generalization Specialization Is this a good example of inheritance ?
- 24. Class Hierarchies Classes related by inheritance form class hierarchies Musician ??? String Musician Violin??? Musical Instrument plays plays playsViolin Player Stringed Instrument
- 25. Single and Multiple Inheritance Single inheritance: deriving from one base class Multiple inheritance: deriving from two or more base classes Stringed Instrument Violin Musical Instrument Stringed Instrument Pluckable Violin has a single direct base class Stringed Instrument has two direct base classes
- 26. Polymorphism The method name resides in the base class The method implementations reside in the derived classes String Musician TuneYourInstrument( ) Guitar Player TuneYourInstrument( ) Violin Player TuneYourInstrument( ) A method with no implementation is called an operation
- 27. Abstract Base Classes Some classes exist solely to be derived from It makes no sense to create instances of these classes These classes are abstract Stringed Musician { abstract } Guitar Player « concrete » Violin Player « concrete » You can create instances of concrete classes You cannot create instances of abstract classes
- 28. Interfaces Interfaces contain only operations, not implementation String Musician { abstract } Violin Player « concrete » Musician « interface » Nothing but operations. You cannot create instances of an interface. May contain some implementation. You cannot create instances of an abstract class. Must implement all inherited operations. You can create instances of a concrete class.
- 29. Early and Late Binding Normal method calls are resolved at compile time Polymorphic method calls are resolved at run time Musician « interface » Violin Player « concrete » Late binding Early binding runtime TuneYourInstrument( ) TuneYourInstrument( )
