Object-oriented programming (OOP) is based on objects rather than just functions and procedures. OOP implements real-world concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. The main features of OOP include inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, and data abstraction. An object is an instance of a class that has attributes and behaviors, while a class is a template for objects with common attributes and behaviors. Inheritance allows classes to inherit properties from other classes, reducing redundant code.

What is Object Oriented Programming?


 Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs) is a type of programming that
is based on objects rather than just functions and procedures.
Individual objects are grouped into classes.
 OOPs implements real-world entities like inheritance, polymorphism,
hiding, etc into programming. It also allows binding data and code
together.
Why use OOPs?
 OOPs allows clarity in programming thereby allowing simplicity in
solving complex problems.
 Code can be reused through inheritance thereby reducing
redundancy.
What are the main features of OOPs?
 Inheritance
 Encapsulation
 Polymorphism
 Data Abstraction
What is an object?
 An object is a real-world entity which is the basic unit of OOPs for
example chair, cat, dog, etc.
 Different objects have different states or attributes, and
behaviours.
What is a class?
 A class is a prototype that consists of objects in different states and
with different behaviours.
 It has a number of methods that are common the objects present
within that class.
What is the difference between a class and a structure?
Class: User-defined blueprint from which objects are created. It
consists of methods or set of instructions that are to be performed
on the objects.
Structure: A structure is basically a user-defined collection of
variables which are of different data types.
Can you call the base class method without creating an instance?
Yes, you can call the base class without instantiating it only if:
 It is a static method
 The base class is inherited by some other subclass

What is the difference between a class and an object?

Object Class
A real-world entity which is an A class is basically a template or a
instance of a class blueprint within which objects can
be created
An object acts like a variable of Binds methods and data together
the class into a single unit
An object is a physical entity A class is a logical entity
Objects take memory space when A class does not take memory
they are created space when created
Objects can be declared as and Classes are declared just once
when required
What is inheritance?
 Inheritance is a feature of OOPs which allows classes inherit common
properties from other classes.
 For example, if there is a class such as ‘vehicle’, other classes like
‘car’, ‘bike’, etc can inherit common properties from the vehicle class.
 This property helps you get rid of redundant code thereby reducing
the overall size of the code.
What are the different types of inheritance?
 Single inheritance
 Multiple inheritance
 Multilevel inheritance
 Hierarchical inheritance
 Hybrid inheritance

12. What is the difference between multiple and multilevel


inheritance?

Multiple Inheritance Multilevel Inheritance


Multiple inheritance comes into Multilevel inheritance means a
picture when a class inherits class inherits from another class
more than one base class which itself is a subclass of some
other base class
Example: A class defining a child Example: A class describing a
inherits from two base classes sports car will inherit from a base
Mother and Father class Car which in turn inherits
another class Vehicle
What is hybrid inheritance?
 Hybrid inheritance is a combination of multiple and multi-level
inheritance.
What is hierarchical inheritance?
 Hierarchical inheritance refers to inheritance where one base class
has more than one subclasses.
 For example, the vehicle class can have ‘car’, ‘bike’, etc as its
subclasses.
What is a superclass?
 A superclass or base class is a class that acts as a parent to some
other class or classes.
 For example, the Vehicle class is a superclass of class Car.
What is a subclass?
 A class that inherits from another class is called the subclass.
 For example, the class Car is a subclass or a derived of Vehicle
class.
