 Principles/Fundamentals of Object Oriented Systems
i. Class – it is the basic building block of object oriented
systems that serves as a template for defining data and
functions, which can be used elsewhere in the program.
ii. Object – it is an instance of a class. It represents a real world
object (physical or abstract)
Example: A class called DSE has students who have name
and admission number.
The class has 5 students. These are the objects of that class.
iii. Encapsulation – it is the process of binding together
attributes and/or functions in a class during OO
programming. (Consider what’s being taught in OOP1 by your
teacher.)
iv. Inheritance – it is the ability of child classes to
take up the properties of a class.
Example: The class DSE can have two child
classes, DSE Sem 2 and DSE Sem 3. Students
(objects) of both DSE Sem 2 and DSE Sem 3 have
the same attributes of class DSE: name and
admission number.
v. Polymorphism – it is the ability of a child class or
an object to take up many forms of a class
vi. Abstraction – views
