Topic: Object (programming)


  
 Encyclopedia: Object-oriented programming
Objects - packaging data and functionality together into units within a running computer program; objects are the basis of modularity and structure in an object-oriented computer program.
Functional programming is a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions.
In computer science, object-oriented programming, OOP for short, is a computer programming paradigm.

 Object-oriented programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Smalltalk (1972 to 1980) is arguably the canonical example, and the one with which much of the theory of object-oriented programming was developed.
An object-oriented programming language (also called an OO language) is one that allows or encourages, to some degree, object-oriented programming methods.
It was created for making simulation programs, in which what came to be called objects were the most important information representation.

 object-oriented programming on Encyclopedia.com
a modular approach to computer program (software) design.
Each module, or object, combines data and procedures (sequences of instructions) that act on the data; in traditional, or procedural, programming the data are separated from the instructions.

 Object Oriented Programming
Depending on the class of the object, different code will be executed by the computer.
Programs must be thought of as a collection of cooperating pieces of data (objects) rather than a thread of control.
Go on to an introduction to Objective-C, an extension of C which was designed for object oriented programming.

 What Is an Object?
This conceptual picture of an object — a nucleus of variables packaged within a protective membrane of methods — is an ideal representation of an object and is the ideal that designers of object-oriented systems strive for.
You might want to represent real-world dogs as software objects in an animation program or a real-world bicycle as a software object in the program that controls an electronic exercise bike.
Everything that the software object knows (state) and can do (behavior) is expressed by the variables and the methods within that object.

 Object Oriented Programming in C
The distinction between class and object operations is not particularly important unless you are using an object-oriented language, suffice to say that operations that concern objects in general (e.g.
In an object based world the only way for anything to happen is by objects communicating with each other and acting on the results.
Many of an object's functions are very simple, often only one or two commands, but because they are functions they incur the overhead of a function call and return every time they are used.

 object-oriented programming - a Whatis.com definition - see also: OOP, object-oriented
Historically, a program has been viewed as a logical procedure that takes input data, processes it, and produces output data.
The definition of a class is reuseable not only by the program for which it is initially created but also by other object-oriented programs (and, for this reason, can be more easily distributed for use in networks).
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming language model organized around "objects" rather than "actions" and data rather than logic.

 Object-Oriented Programming Languages
Object-oriented programming languages (OOPLs) are the natural choice for implementation of an Object-Oriented Design because they directly support the object notions of classes, inheritance, information hiding, and dynamic binding.
An object-oriented system programmed with an OOPL results in less complexity in the system design and implementation, which can lead to an increase in maintainability [Baudoin 96].
During the development of two releases of the CADCS, the use of the OOD techniques and subsequent implementation in OOPL resulted in an 30% reduction in development time and a 20% reduction in development staff effort as compared to similarly-sized projects using traditional software development techniques and languages [Kamath 93].

 Understanding Object Oriented Programming
Their claim: Java is a wonderful procedural programming language; it naturally supports top-down decomposition which is clearly the only way of analyzing and designing quality solutions to problems -- as exemplified by this example.
The DefaultBox is a kind of Null Object.
This programmer sees the essence of object oriented programming as the naive object-oriented programmer may not.

 OOP Criticism
Garbage collection in procedural programming usually comes about by having the end of a routine or end of the program automatically close out the structures and mark the memory as available for other uses.
OOP is more of a program organizational philosophy rather than a set of new external solutions or operations.
Containment and Aggregation force most accesses and queries to go through the parent object, regardless of whether the parent is significant or not for a given operation.

 Object-Oriented Programming Concepts
An object is a software bundle of related variables and methods.
You need to understand what an object is, what a class is, how objects and classes are related, and how objects communicate by using messages.
A class is a blueprint or prototype that defines the variables and the methods common to all objects of a certain kind.

 Survey of Object Oriented Programming Languages
Kay quickly developed a vague idea for programming by not only breaking the problem down into smaller sub problems, but by breaking the computer down into thousands of smaller simulated computers (or objects) to solve all of the sub problems.
``...object oriented programming will be in the 1980's what structured programming was in the 1970's.
But just because one facet of a system has object oriented properties, does not mean that the system as a whole (or even other potions of the system) is object oriented.
