Everything Around You Is an Object

Slide 12 PPL – Spring 2026

From Real World to Software

Slide 13 PPL – Spring 2026

 VNU-HCM International University School of Computer Science and Engineering

What Is an Object?
 An object is an entity that combines data and
behavior.

Slide 14 PPL – Spring 2026

What Is OOP?
 OOP is a way of building programs by organizing
them around objects, not procedures.

Why
OOP?

Slide 16 PPL – Spring 2026

 VNU-HCM International University School of Computer Science and Engineering

How Programs Start?

Procedural Programming Characteristics
 Program = collection of functions
 Data is often global
 Data and functions are separated

Slide 17 PPL – Spring 2026

 VNU-HCM International University School of Computer Science and Engineering

When Programs Grow …

Scenario: 5 developers, 500 functions, 300 global
variables, ….

Slide 18 PPL – Spring 2026

 VNU-HCM International University School of Computer Science and Engineering

Core Problems
Problems with procedural style:
❑ No clear ownership of data
❑ Anyone can modify anything
❑ Hard to maintain
❑ Hard to scale

Slide 19 PPL – Spring 2026

 VNU-HCM International University School of Computer Science and Engineering

OOP as a Solution
OOP solves this by:
❑ Givingdata an owner (object)
❑ Controlling access
❑ Grouping responsibility

“In OOP, data is no longer homeless”

Slide 20 PPL – Spring 2026

Course Objective

 Understand limitations of procedural programming

 Explain what objects and classes are

 Understand encapsulation and data hiding

 Recognize inheritance, polymorphism, and composition

 Read basic UML class diagrams

Slide 22 PPL – Spring 2026

Class vs Object
 Class = blueprint
 Object = real house

Class vs Object

Slide 24 PPL – Spring 2026

 VNU-HCM International University School of Computer Science and Engineering

Data Hiding
 Attributes should be private
 Access via methods

Slide 25 PPL – Spring 2026

 VNU-HCM International University School of Computer Science and Engineering

Object Communication
How objects interact:
 Objects send messages
 Message = method call

Slide 26 PPL – Spring 2026

 VNU-HCM International University School of Computer Science and Engineering

Inheritance (Is-a)
Concept: Reuse code & Specialization

Slide 27 PPL – Spring 2026

 VNU-HCM International University School of Computer Science and Engineering

Polymorphism
Polymorphism lets the same message trigger
different behavior depending on the object

Slide 28 PPL – Spring 2026

 VNU-HCM International University School of Computer Science and Engineering

Composition (Has-a)
 Objects contain other objects

Has
