41. Object-oriented Programming From FOLDOC objectoriented programming programming (OOP) The use of a class of programming languages and techniques based on the concept of an object which is a data structure http://foldoc.org/object-oriented programming

object-oriented programming programming object " which is a data structure ( abstract data type ) encapsulated with a set of routines, called " methods ", which operate on the data. Operations on the data can only be performed via these methods, which are common to all objects that are instances of a particular " class ". Thus the interface to objects is well defined, and allows the code implementing the methods to be changed so long as the interface remains the same. Each class is a separate module and has a position in a " class hierarchy ". Methods or code in one class can be passed down the hierarchy to a subclass or inherited from a superclass . This is called " inheritance A procedure call is described as invoking a method on an object (which effectively becomes the procedure's first argument ), and may optionally include other arguments. The method name is looked up in the object's class to find out how to perform that operation on the given object. If the method is not defined for the object's class, it is looked for in its superclass and so on up the class hierarchy until it is found or there is no higher superclass. OOP started with SIMULA-67 around 1970 and became all-pervasive with the advent of C++ , and later Java . Another popular object-oriented programming language (OOPL) is Smalltalk , a seminal example from Xerox 's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Others include

Object Oriented Programming What will we cover? What is an object? What is a Class? What are polymorphism and inheritance? Creating, Storing and using objects What is Object Oriented Programming? Now we move onto what might have been termed an advanced topic up until about 10 years ago. Nowadays ' Object Oriented Programming has become the norm. Languages like Java and Python embody the concept so much that you can do very little without coming across objects somewhere. So what's it all about? The best introductions are, in my opinion: Object Oriented Analysis Object Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications by Grady Booch (the 1st edition if you can find it) Object Oriented Software Construction by Bertrand Meyer (definitely the 2nd edition of this one) These increase in depth, size and academic exactitude as you go down the list. For most non professional programmers' purposes the first is adequate. For a more programming focused intro try Object Oriented Programming by Timothy Budd(2nd edition). This uses several languages to illustrate object oriented programming techniques. It is much more strongly oriented towards writing programs than any of the other books which cover the whole gamut of theory and principle behind object orientation, at the design level as well as at the code level.

Richard G Baldwin (512) 223-4758, baldwin@austin.cc.tx.us http://www2.austin.cc.tx.us/baldwin/ Object-Oriented Programming Java Programming, Lecture Notes # 4, Revised 07/25/01. Preface Introduction An Introductory Description of OOP Encapsulation ... Review Preface By the end of the course, students in Prof. Baldwin's Introductory Java Programming classes at ACC are responsible for knowing and understanding all of the material in this lesson (except that they are not responsible for detailed information that is specific to C++). The detailed material on C++ is provided as supplementary material for the benefit of persons already familiar with C++ who are making the transition into Java. This lesson is designed primarily as a reading assignment. It is not likely that Prof. Baldwin will spend any class time discussing the material in this lesson. However, he will respond to specific questions from students regarding the material in this lesson. This lesson is intended to be general in nature. Therefore, no effort has been expended to keep it in compliance with any particular version of the Java JDK. This lesson is a compilation of ideas and examples (a few of which are my own) from a variety of authors. Let me apologize in advance to those authors whose ideas I may have included without giving specific credit. If you, as an author, see one of your original ideas here without proper credit being given, please notify me by E-mail and I will be pleased to footnote the document to give you credit for that specific idea (or remove your idea from the document if that is your preference).
