Who’s Mike?
• BS in CS from
• “Petrochemical Research Organization”
• Java Queue News Editor, InfoQ
• Ai-Logix, Inc. (now AudioCodes)
• Amateur Computer Group of New Jersey
2
Objectives (2)
• Object-Oriented Programming
• Object-Oriented Design Principles
• Live Demos (yea!)
3
Object-Oriented
Programming (OOP)
4
Some OOP Languages
• Ada
• C++
• Eiffel
• Java
• Modula-3
• Objective C
• OO-Cobol
• Python
• Simula
• Smalltalk
• Theta
5
What is OOP?
• A programming paradigm that is focused on
objects and data
• as opposed to actions and logic
• Objects are identified to model a system
• Objects are designed to interact with each
other
6
OOP Basics (1)
• Procedure-Oriented
• Top Down/Bottom Up
• Structured programming
• Centered around an
algorithm
• Identify tasks; how
something is done
• Object-Oriented
• Identify objects to be
modeled
• Concentrate on what an
object does
• Hide how an object
performs its task
• Identify behavior
7
OOP Basics (2)
• Abstract Data Type (ADT)
• user-defined data type
• use of objects through functions (methods)
without knowing the internal representation
8
OOP Basics (3)
• Interface
• functions (methods) provided in the ADT that
allow access to data
• Implementation
• underlying data structure(s) and business logic
within the ADT
9
OOP Basics (4)
• Class
• Defines a model
• Declares attributes
• Declares behavior
• Is an ADT
• Object
• Is an instance of a class
• Has state
• Has behavior
• May have many unique
objects of the same class
10
OOP Attributes
• Four (4) Main Attributes:
• data encapsulation
• data abstraction
• inheritance
• polymorphism
11
Data Encapsulation
• Separates the implementation from the
interface
• A public view of an object, but
implementation is private
• access to data is only allowed through a defined
interface
12
Data Abstraction
• A model of an entity
• Defines a data type by its functionality as
opposed to its implementation
13
Inheritance
• A means for defining a new class as an
extension of a previously defined class
• The derived class inherits all attributes and
behavior of the base class
• “IS-A” relationship
• Baseball is a Sport
14
Polymorphism
• The ability of different objects to respond
differently to the same function
• From the Greek meaning “many forms”
• A mechanism provided by an OOP
language as opposed to a programmer-
provided workaround
15
Advantages of OOP
• Interface can (and should) remain
unchanged when improving implementation
• Encourages modularity in application
development
• Better maintainability of code
• Code reuse
• Emphasis on what, not how
16
Classes (1)
• A user-defined abstract data type
• Extension of C structs
• Contain:
• constructor
• destructor
• data members and member functions (methods)
17
Classes (2)
• Static/Dynamic object instantiation
• Multiple Constructors:
• Sports(void);
• Sports(char *,int,int);
• Sports(float,char *,int);
18
Classes (3)
• Class scope (C++)
• scope resolution operator (::)
• Abstract Classes
• contain at least one pure virtual member
function (C++)
• contain at least one abstract method (Java)
19
Classes (3)
• Abstract Classes
• contain at least one pure virtual member
function (C++)
• contain at least one abstract method (Java)
20
Abstract Classes
• Pure virtual member function (C++)
• virtual void draw() = 0;
• Abstract method (Java)
• public abstract void draw();
21
Class Inheritance
22
Static Instantiation
(C++)
• Object creation:
• Baseball mets(“Mets”,97,65);
• Access to public member functions:
• mets.getWin(); // returns 97
23
Dynamic Instantiation
(C++)
• Object creation:
• Baseball *mets = new
Baseball(“Mets”,97,65);
• Access to public member functions:
• mets->getWin(); // returns 97
24
Dynamic Instantiation
(Java)
• Object creation:
• Baseball mets = new
Baseball(“Mets”,97,65);
• Access to public member functions:
• mets.getWin(); // returns 97
25
Deleting Objects (C++)
Baseball mets(“Mets”,97,65);
// object deleted when out of scope
Baseball *mets = new
Baseball(“Mets”,97,65);
delete mets; // required call
26
Deleting Objects (Java)
Baseball mets = new
Baseball(“Mets”,97,65);
// automatic garbage collection or:
System.gc(); // explicit call
27
Object-Oriented
Design Principles
28
What are OO Design
Principles?
• A set of underlying principles for creating
flexible designs that are easy to maintain
and adaptable to change
• Understanding the basics of OOP isn’t
enough
29
Some OO Design
Principles (1)
• Encapsulate WhatVaries
• Program to Interfaces, Not
Implementations
• Favor Composition Over Inheritance
• Classes Should Be Open for Extension, But
Closed for Modification
30
Some OO Design
Principles (2)
• Strive for Loosely Coupled Designs
Between Objects That Interact
• A Class Should Have Only One Reason to
Change
31
Encapsulate What
Varies
• Identify and encapsulate areas of code that
vary
• Encapsulated code can be altered without
affecting code that doesn’t vary
• Forms the basis for almost all of the
original Design Patterns
32
33
// OrderCars class
public class OrderCars {
public Car orderCar(String model) {
Car car;
if(model.equals(“Charger”))
car = new Dodge(model);
else if(model.equals(“Corvette”))
car = new Chevrolet(model);
else if(model.equals(“Mustang”))
car = new Ford(model);
car.buildCar();
car.testCar();
car.shipCar();
}
}
Demo Time…
34
Program to Interfaces,
Not Implementations
• Eliminates being locked-in to a specific
implementation
• An interface declares generic behavior
• Concrete class(es) implement methods
defined in an interface
35
36
// Dog class
public class Dog {
public void bark() {
System.out.println(“woof”);
}
// Cat class
public class Cat {
public void meow() {
System.out.println(“meow”);
}
}
37
// Animals class - main application
public class Animals {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Dog dog = new Dog();
dog.bark();
Cat cat = new Cat();
cat.meow();
}
}
// output
woof
meow
38
// Animal interface
public interface Animal {
public void makeNoise();
}
39
// Dog class (revised)
public class Dog implements Animal {
public void makeNoise() {
bark();
}
public void bark() {
System.out.println(“woof”);
}
// Cat class (revised)
public class Cat implements Animal {
public void makeNoise() {
meow();
}
public void meow() {
System.out.println(“meow”);
}
}
40
// Animals class - main application (revised)
public class Animals {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Animal dog = new Dog();
dog.makeNoise();
Animal cat = new Cat();
cat.makeNoise();
}
}
// output
woof
meow
Demo Time…
41
Favor Composition
Over Inheritance
• “HAS-A” can be better than “IS-A”
• Eliminates excessive use of subclassing
• An object’s behavior can be modified
through composition as opposed through
inheritance
• Allows change in object behavior at run-
time
42
Classes Should Be
Open for Extension...
• ...But Closed for Modification
• “Come in,We’re Open”
• extend the class to add new behavior
• “Sorry,We’re Closed”
• the code must remain closed to modification
43
A Simple Hierarchy...
44
...That Quickly
Becomes Complex!
45
Refactored Design
46
Demo Time…
47
Strive for Loosely
Coupled Designs...
• ...Between Objects That Interact
• Allows you to build flexible OO systems
that can handle change
• interdependency is minimized
• Changes to one object won’t affect another
object
• Objects can be used independently
48
Demo Time…
49
A Class Should Have...
• ...Only One Reason to Change
• Classes can inadvertently assume too many
responsibilities
• interdependency is minimized
• cross-cutting concerns
• Assign a responsibility to one class, and
only one class
