Procedure Oriented Programming

Emphasis is on doing things (algorithms).
Large programs are divided into smaller programs known as functions.

Most of the functions share global data. Data move openly around the system from function to function. Employs top-down approach in program design.

Object Oriented Programming

Emphasis is on data rather than procedure. Programs are divided into what are known as objects. Data structures are designed such that they characterize the objects. Data is hidden and cannot be accessed by external functions. Functions that operate on the data of an object are tied together in the data structure. Objects may communicate with each other through functions. Follows bottom-up approach in program design

Objects :
Objects are the basic run-time entities in an object oriented system. They may represent a place, a bank account, a table of data or any item that the program has to handle. When a program is executed, the objects interact by sending messages to one another. For example, if customer and account are two objects in a program, then the customer object may send a message to the account object requesting for the bank balance. Each object contains data, and code to manipulate the data.

Classes :
The entire set of data and code of an object can be made a user defined data type with the help of a class. Objects are variables of the type class. Once a class has been defined, we can create any number of objects belonging to that class. Classes are user defined data types and behave like the built-in types of a programming language. Internal data of a class member data Internal functions of a class member functions

Data Encapsulation :
The wrapping of data and functions into a single unit (called class) is known as encapsulation. The data is not accessible to the outside world, and only those functions which wrapped in the class can access it. These functions provide the interface between the objects data and the program. This insulation of the data from direct access by the program is called data hiding or information hiding.

Data Abstraction :
This refers to the act of representing essential features without including the background details or explanations. Classes use the concept of abstraction. They encapsulate all the essential properties of the objects that are to be created.

Inheritance :
Inheritance is the process by which objects of one class acquire the properties of another class. It supports the concept of hierarchical classification. In OOP, the concept of inheritance provides the idea of reusability. This means that we can add additional features to an existing class without modifying it. This is possible by deriving a new class from the existing one. (Base class and derived class)
The new class will have the combined features of both the classes.

Polymorphism :
Polymorphism means the ability to take more than one form. The behavior depends upon the types of data used in the operation. This is something similar to a particular word having several different meanings depending on the context.
Shape Draw( )
Circle: object
Box: object Draw(box)
Triangle:object Draw(triangle)
Draw(circle)

Dynamic binding:
This means that the code associated with a given procedure call is not known until the time of the call at run time.
It is associated with polymorphism and inheritance.
Message passing :
An object oriented program consists of a set of objects that communicate with each other.
The process of programming in an object oriented language, therefore, involves the following basic steps: 1.Creating classes that define objects and their behavior, 2.Creating objects from class definitions, and 3.Establishing communication among objects
3/8/2013 Dept of C.S.E 11
Objects communicate with one another by sending and receiving information much the same way as people pass messages to one another. A message for an object is a request for execution of a procedure, and therefore will invoke a function (procedure) in the receiving object that generates the desired result.
Message passing involves specifying the name of the object, the name of the function (message) and the information to be sent.
Ex:- employee.salary(name);

General form of a class declaration

class class_name { private: variable declarations; function declarations; public: variable declarations; function declarations; }; The private class numbers can only be accessed from within the class. The public class numbers can be accessed from outside the class also. By default, the members of a class are private.

A simple class example

class item {
int number;
float cost; public: void getdata(int a, float b); void putdata(void); };

Creating Objects
item x,y,z; // x,y and z are objects of type item. The class specification provides only a template & does not create any memory space for the objects. The declaration of an object is similar to that of a variable of any basic type. The necessary memory space is allocated to an object at this stage.

Accessing Class Members

Format for calling a member function: object-name.function-name(actual-arguments);
Ex:-
x.getdata(100,75.5);
This statements assigns 100 to number and 75.5 to cost of the object x. A member function can be invoked only by using an object. getdata(100,75.5); //illegal number (declared private) can be accessed only through a member function. x. number=100; // illegal

Defining Member functions

Outside the class definition
The general form return-type class-name:: function-name (argument declaration) { Function body } The membership label class name :: tells the compiler that the function function-name belongs to the class class-name. The symbol :: is called the scope resolution operator. Member functions can also be defined inside the class definition.

A C++ program with a class

class student { char name[30]; int rollno; public: void getdata(char a[ ],int n) { strcpy(name,a); rollno=n; } void putdata( ); }; void student::putdata( ) { cout<<Name:<<name; cout<<Roll No:<<rollno; }

Program continued..
void main( ) { student s1; char name1[20]; int roll1; cout<<Enter name<<endl; cin>>name1; cout<<Enter roll no<<endl; cin>>roll1; s1.getdata(name1,roll1); s1.putdata( ); }

Nesting of Member functions

A member function can call another member function directly, without using the dot operator. class set { int m, n; public: void input( ); void display( ); int largest( ); }; int set::largest( ) { if(m>=n) return m; else return n; }
3/8/2013 Dept of C.S.E 20
void set::input( ) { cout<<Enter values for m and n<< endl; cin >> m >> n; } void set::display ( ) { cout<<largest value=<<largest( ); } void main( ) { set A; A.input( ); A.display( ); }

Sorting an array using classes

const int size=10; class array { int a[size]; public: void setval( ); void display( ); void sort( ); }; int i ,j, temp; void array :: setval( ) { cout<<enter 10 values; for (i=0; i<size; i++) cin >> a[i]; cout<< endl; }
3/8/2013
void array::sort(void) { for(i=0;i<size-1;i++) for(j=i+1;j<size ;j++) if(a[i]>a[j]) { temp=a[i]; a[i]=a[j]; a[j]temp; } } void array :: display( ) { for(i=0; i<size; i++) cout<<a[i]<< ; cout<<endl; }
Dept of C.S.E 22
void main( )
{ array obj1; objl. setval( ); cout<<original array<<endl; objl.display( ); objl.sort( ); cout<<sorted array<< endl; objl.display( ); getch( ); }

Benefits of Object Oriented Programming :

Through inheritance, we can eliminate redundant code and extend the use of existing classes. We can build programs from the standard working modules that communicate with one another, rather than having to start writing the code from scratch. This leads to saving of development time and higher productivity. The principle of data hiding helps the programmer to build secure programs that cannot be invaded by code in other parts of the program. It is possible to map objects in the problem domain to those in the program.

Benefits continued. It is easy to partition the work in a project based on objects.
Object oriented systems can be easily upgraded from small to large systems.
Software complexity can be easily managed.
