What is an object?
Look around you and identify some objectsReal world objects share two characteristics They all have state They all have behavior
Identifying the state and behavior for real-world objects is a great way to begin thinking in terms of object-oriented programming
Two Questions What possible states can this object be in? What possible behavior can this object perform? Write down your observation
Real world objects vary in complexity (Radio, Table Lamp)Objects may contain other objectsThese real world observations all translate into object oriented
programming

Software objects are conceptually similar to real world objects: they too consist of state and related behavior
An object store its state in fields and exposes its behavior through methods
Methods operate on objects internal state and serve as the primary mechanism for object-to-object communication
Hiding internal state and requiring all interaction through an object’s method is known as data encapsulation - a fundamental principle of OOP

Bicycle - By attributing state and providing methods for changing that state, the object remains in control of how the outside world is allowed to use it. For example, if the bicycle only has 6 gears, a method to change gears could reject any value that is less than 1 or greater than 6.
Benefits of building code into individual software objects
Modularity Information-hiding Code re-use Plug-ability and debugging ease

What is a Class?
• A class is a blueprint or prototype from which objects are
created
• A class defines the general nature of a collection of
objects of the same type
• The process creating an object from a class is called
instantiation
• Every object is an instance of a particular class.
• There can be many instances of objects from the same
class possible with different values for data

What is Inheritance?
Different kinds of objects have a certain amount in
common with each other
For example mountain bikes, road bikes, and tandem
Bikes all share the characteristics of bicycles (current
speed, current pedal cadence, current gear)
Yet each also defines additional features that make them
different: tandem bicycles have two seats and two sets
of handlebars; road bikes have drop handlebars etc
Object-oriented programming allows classes to inherit
commonly used state and behaviour from other classes

What is a Interface?
• Objects define their interaction with the outside world through the methods that they expose
• Methods form the object's interface with the outside world
• The buttons on the front of your television set, for example, are the interface between you and the electrical wiring on the other side of its plastic casing. You press the "power" button to turn the television on and off
