Topic: Object-oriented programming



  
 Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, object-oriented programming, OOP for short, is a computer programming paradigm.
Object-oriented programming developed as the dominant programming methodology during the mid-1980s, largely due to the influence of C++, an extension of the C programming language.
OOP is often called a paradigm rather than a style or type of programming to emphasize the point that OOP can change the way software is developed, by changing the way that programmers and software engineers think about software.

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

 Object (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), an instance of a program (i.e.
Objects exist only within contexts that are aware of them; a piece of computer memory only holds an object if a program treats it as such (for example by reserving it for exclusive use by specific procedures and/or associating a data type with it).
There, objects are still conceptual entities, but generally correspond directly to a contiguous block of computer memory of a specific size at a specific location.

 Lesson 8: Object-Oriented Programming
Object-oriented programming is a method of programming based on a hierarchy of classes, and well-defined and cooperating objects.
Consider which objects really need access to the data, and use packages and access levels to protect your application data from all other objects executing in the system.
This way, you can update your class by changing a field definition and the corresponding method implementation, but other objects that access that data do not need to be changed because their interface to the data (the method signature) has not changed.

 OOP Criticism
OOP is best used for situations where an OOP program or language should knowingly and exclusively have nearly complete control over the birth, processing, and death of data items (objects).
OOP is more of a program organizational philosophy rather than a set of new external solutions or operations.
OOP technology has generated more confusion than almost any other computer technology.

 Object-Oriented Programming
with Ada 9X
An object of the conceptual type can be assigned to objects of both its parent types in a similar fashion, by selecting the sibling of the conceptual object that matches the type of the desired parent using a view conversion, and assigning this sibling to the target of the assignment.
Objects of the conceptual type C are created by generating together a set of objects of the types C_A and C_B.
The result of a value conversion is an object the component values of which are selected from the converted object, and the tag of which is the tag of the target type.

 Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, object-oriented programming, OOP for short, is a (digital) computer programming paradigm.
Object-oriented programming developed as the dominant programming methodology during the mid-1980s, largely due to the influence of C++, an extension of the C programming language.
In recent years, object-based programming has become especially popular in scripting programming languages, with abstraction, encapsulation, reusability, and ease of use being the most commonly cited reasons, (the value of inheritance in these languages is often questioned).

 Class (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most object oriented programming languages allow the programmer to specify which classes are considered abstract and will not allow these to be instantiated (in Java, for example, the keyword abstract is used).
The object-oriented programming methodology is designed in such way that the operations of any interface of a class are usually chosen to be independent of each other.
In object-oriented programming, a class consists of a collection of types of encapsulated instance variables and types of methods, possibly with implementation of those types together with a constructor function that can be used to create objects of the class.

 Inheritance (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In object-oriented programming, inheritance is a way to form new classes (instances of which will be objects) using pre-defined objects or classes where new ones take over old ones' implementations and characteristics.
Many object-oriented programming languages permit a class or object to replace the implementation of an aspect—typically a behavior—that it has inherited.
The difference between roles and classes is especially difficult to understand if referential transparency is assumed, because roles are types of references and classes are types of the referred-to objects.

 Java programming language article - Java programming language object-oriented programming language James Gosling Microsystems - What-Means.com
Java's heavy use of heap-allocated objects causes programs to consume more memory than similar programs written in lower-level languages, where data storage can be optimized at a fine granularity.
The program or other objects can reference an object by holding a reference to its address on the heap.
Objects are created and placed at an address on the heap.

 Override (object-oriented programming) - definition of Override (object-oriented programming) in Encyclopedia
Used mainly in object-oriented programming, the term method refers to a piece of code that is exclusively associated either with a class (called class methods or static methods) or with an object (called instance methods).
Like a procedure in procedural programming languages, a method usually consists of a sequence of statements to perform an action, a set of input parameters to parameterize those actions, and possibly an output value (called return value) of some kind.
If the object's state does not satisfy its class invariants on entry to or exit from any method, the program is considered to have a bug.

 Identity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In object-oriented programming, object identity is a mechanism for distinguishing different objects from each other.
Arbitrary objects a and b can be said to be qualitatively identical if a and b are duplicates, that is, if a and b are exactly similar in all respects, that is, if a and b have all qualitative properties in common.
In programs, one frequently may have several variables (or pointers) which refer to the same underlying data structure.

 Protocol (object-oriented programming) - definition of Protocol (object-oriented programming) in Encyclopedia
In computer science's object-oriented programming, a protocol (Java: interface) is what or how unrelated objects use to communicate with each other.
If the objects are fully encapsulated then the protocol will describe the only way in which objects may be accessed by other objects.
Note that functional programming and distributed programming languages have a concept which is also called protocol, but whose meaning is subtly different (i.e.

 Object persistence in object-oriented applications
Object-oriented modeling, design, and programming [1-5] have rapidly become the model of choice for programming new computer applications.
The objects for an application have a different data model from that of the data store schema that is used to store the persistent state of the objects in the data store.
Object identity support in a GOP system will be limited by the database or file system (e.g., relational, network, flat file) that stores the underlying data.

 Object-Oriented Programming
The insight of object-oriented programming is to combine state and behavior--data and operations on data--in a high-level unit, an object, and to give it language support.
The idea of objects as actors fits nicely with the principal metaphor of object-oriented programming--the idea that objects communicate through ``messages.'' Instead of calling a method as you would a function, you send a message to an object requesting it to perform one of its methods.
Object-oriented programs are designed by laying out the network of objects with their behaviors and patterns of interaction, and by arranging the hierarchy of classes.

 Hexapedia - Polymorphism (computer science)
Programming using the latter kind is called generic programming, particularly in the object-oriented community.
Object-oriented programming environments such as C++ and GObject implement subtyping polymorphism using subclassing (also known as inheritance).
This type of polymorphism is common in object-oriented programming languages, many of which allow operators to be overloaded in a manner similar to functions (see operator overloading).
