 Agenda

▪ There are different approaches to writing computer

programs.
▫ Procedural programming
▫ Object oriented programming
▪ They all involve decomposing your programs into parts.

“And so, from Europe, we get things such ... object-oriented

analysis and design (a clever way of breaking up software
programming instructions and data into small, reusable
objects, based on certain abstraction principles and design
hierarchies.)”

OOP … since 1962

▪ Simula 1 (1962 - 1965) and Simula 67 (1967) Norwegian Computing

Center, Oslo, Norway by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard.

OOP … since 1962

▪ Smalltalk (1970s), Alan Kay's group

at Xerox PARC

▪ C++ (early 1980s), Bjarne

Stroustrup, Bell Labs

5 5
OOP Languages

▪ Modula – 3, Oberon, Eiffel, Java, C#, Python

▫ many languages have some Object Oriented version or
capability
▪ One of the dominant styles for implementing complex
programs with large numbers of interacting components
▫ … but not the only programming paradigm and there are
variations on object oriented programming

6
Definition – OOP, Class

▪ Object-oriented programming is a method of programming

based on a hierarchy of classes, and well-defined and
cooperating objects
▪ A class is a structure that defines the data and the methods
to work on that data. When you write programs in the Java
language, all program data is wrapped in a class, whether it
is a class you write or a class you use from the Java
platform API libraries

7 7
Definition – Class, Object

▪ Class: a collection of data (fields/ variables) and methods

that operate on that data
▫ define the contents/capabilities of the instances (objects)
of the class
▫ a class can be viewed as a factory for objects
▫ a class defines a recipe for its objects

8 8
 Example of a class (Java)
class Customer {
// Fields/ variables/ Data
private String name; //Can get but not change
Customer a = new Customer(«Anh», 500);
private double salary; // Cannot get or set
a.pay();
// Constructor
Customer b = new Customer(«Tho», 600);
Customer(String n, double s) { String anh_name = a.getName();
name = n; order = s; b.pay();
}
// Methods
void pay () {
System.out.println("Pay to the order of " +
name + " $" + order);
}
public String getName() { return name; } //
getter
}
9
Definition – Class, Object

▪ Object creation: memory is allocated for the object’s fields as

defined in the class
▪ Initialization is specified through a constructor
▪ A special method invoked when objects are created
▪ Different objects have the same attributes but the values of those
attributes can vary
▫ Reminder: The class definition specifies the attributes and
methods for all objects
▪ The current value of an object’s attribute’s determines it’s state.

Concept: Classes describe objects

11
Concept: Classes describe objects

Class Person {
private String hairColor;
….
}

12
Notation: How to declare and create objects

Employee secretary; // declares secretary

secretary = new Employee (); // allocates space
Employee secretary = new Employee(); // does both
But the secretary is still "blank" (null)
secretary.name = "Adele"; // dot notation
secretary.birthday (); // sends a message

13
Notation: How to reference a field or method

Inside a class, no dots are necessary

class Person { ... age = age + 1; ...}
Outside a class, you need to say which object you are
talking to
if (john.age < 75) john.birthday ();
If you don't have an object, you cannot use its fields or
methods!

14
Inheritance

▪ Inheritance:
▫ programming language feature that allows for the implicit
definition of variables/methods for a class through an
existing class
▪ An object also inherits:
▫ the fields described in the class's superclasses
▫ the methods described in the class's superclasses
▪ A class is not a complete description of its objects!
Concept: Classes form a hierarchy

▪ Classes are arranged in a

treelike structure called a
hierarchy
▪ The class at the root is
named Object
▪ Every class, except Object,
has a superclass
▪ When you define a class,
you specify its superclass
▫ If you don’t specify a
superclass, Object is
assumed
16
17

Concept: Classes form a hierarchy

▪ Subclass relationship
▫ B is a subclass of A
▫ B inherits all
definitions
(variables/methods) in
A
▪ A class may have several
ancestors, up to Object
▪ Every class may have one
or more subclasses
Example of (part of) a hierarchy

18
Example of inheritance

class Person { class Employee

private String name; extends Person {
private int age; private double salary;
public void birthday () { public void pay () { ...}
age = age + 1; }
}
}
Every Employee has name and age fields and birthday
method as well as a salary field and a pay method.

19
Example: Assignment of subclasses

class Dog { ... }

class Poodle extends Dog { ... }
Dog myDog;
Dog rover = new Dog ();
Poodle yourPoodle;
Poodle fifi = new Poodle ();

myDog = rover; // ok
yourPoodle = fifi; // ok
myDog = fifi; //ok
yourPoodle = rover; // illegal
yourPoodle = (Poodle) rover; //runtime check

20
Encapsulation

▪ Also know as separation of concerns and information

hiding
▪ When creating new data types (classes) the details of the
actual data and the way operations work is hidden from
the other programmers who will use those new data types
▫ So they don't have to worry about them
▫ So they can be changed without any ill effects (loose coupling)
▪ Encapsulation makes it easier to be able to use
something
▫ microwave, radio, ipod, the Java String class
21
Encapsulation (A capsule)

22
Kinds of access in Java

▪ Java provides four levels of access:

▫ public: available everywhere
▫ protected: available within the package (in the same
subdirectory) and to all subclasses
▫ [default]: available within the package
▫ private: only available within the class itself
▪ The default is called package visibility
▪ In small programs this isn't important...right?

23
Encapsulation

24
 Abstraction

▪ OOP is about abstraction

▪ Abstraction is a method of hiding the
implementation detail and only show the
functionalities
▪ Encapsulation and Inheritance are examples of
abstraction
 Polymorphism

▪ Polymorphism means many (poly) shapes (morph)

▪ In Java, polymorphism refers to the fact that you can have multiple
methods with the same name in the same class
▪ There are two kinds of polymorphism:
▫ Overloading
▫ Two or more methods with different signatures
▫ Overriding
▫ Replacing an inherited method with another having the
same signature
 Polymorphism

▪ two methods have to differ in their names or in the number

or types of their parameters
▫ foo(int i) and foo(int i, int j) are different
▫ foo(int i) and foo(int k) are the same
▫ foo(int i, double d) and foo(double d, int i) are different
Overloading

class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
myPrint(5);
myPrint(5.0);
}
static void myPrint(int i) {
System.out.println("int i = " + i);
}
static void myPrint(double d) { // same name, different parameters
System.out.println("double d = " + d);
}
}

int i = 5
double d = 5.0
28
Overriding
class Animal {
public static void main(String args[]) { ▪ This is called overriding
Animal animal = new Animal();
Dog dog = new Dog(); a method
animal.print();
dog.print(); ▪ Method print in Dog
} overrides method print
void print() {
System.out.println("Superclass Animal"); in Animal
}
} ▪ A subclass variable can
public class Dog extends Animal { shadow a superclass
void print() { variable, but a subclass
System.out.println("Subclass Dog");
} method can override a
}
superclass method
Superclass Animal
Subclass Dog 29
Another examples

30
When to do?

▪ You should overload a method when you want to do

essentially the same thing, but with different parameters
▪ You should override an inherited method if you want to do
something slightly different than in the superclass
▫ It’s almost always a good idea to override public void
toString() -- it’s handy for debugging, and for many other
reasons
▫ To test your own objects for equality, override public void
equals(Object o)
▫ There are special methods (in java.util.Arrays) that you
can use for testing array equality

31
 Reuse

▪ Inheritance encourages software reuse

▪ Existing code need not be rewritten
▪ Successful reuse occurs only through careful
planning and design
▫ when defining classes, anticipate future
modifications and extensions
Building Complex Systems

▪ From Software Engineering:

complex systems are difficult to manage
▪ Proper use of OOP aids in managing this
complexity
▪ The analysis and design of OO systems require
corresponding modeling techniques
 Object-Oriented Modeling

▪ UML: Unified Modeling Language

▫ OO Modeling Standard
▫ Booch, Jacobson, Rumbaugh
▪ What is depicted?
▫ Class details and static relationships
▫ System functionality
▫ Object interaction
▫ State transition within an object
Some UML Modeling Techniques

▪ Class Diagrams
▪ Use Cases/Use Case Diagrams
▪ Interaction Diagrams
▪ State Diagrams
Object-Oriented Design Models

▪ Static Model
▫ Class Diagrams
▪ Dynamic Model
▫ Use Cases, Interaction Diagrams, State
Diagrams, others
