Module 02

This document covers Object Oriented Analysis and Design, focusing on the concepts of objects and classes. It includes an analogy of building a car to explain the process of identifying user needs, assessing requirements, and refining designs. Key terminology, class creation, instance objects, built-in attributes, and inheritance are also discussed, along with the importance of data hiding.

module 02
Dr Abu-Eesa
Islamic Online University
back2basics

 Previous module
 Object
 Concept of a class

 This module (module02)


 Back to basics
 notion of objects and classes
Analogy: building a new car

 Identify activities
 User community and needs  form team
 Requirements assessed  expand team to include automobile engineers &
other experts
 Refine initial design  prototypes etc.

 Some months later…..


 Build a plant for production & hire people!
Overview of OO terminology

 Class
 Class variable
 Data member
 Function overloading
 Instance variable
 Inheritance
 Instance
 Instantiation
 Method
 Object
 Operator overloading
Creating Classes

 ClassName.__doc__
 demo(python example)
 empCount – class variable
 __init__() – special method
Instance Objects

 Creating instance: Call class using the class name and input any arguments its
__init__ method will accept
 Access attributes: use dot operator with object
 Use following functions instead of using normal statements to access attributes
 The getattr(obj, name[, default]) : for accessing attribute of object.
 The hasattr(obj,name) : for checking if an attribute exists or not.
 The setattr(obj,name,value) : for setting an attribute. If attribute does not exist, then
it would be created.
 The delattr(obj, name) : for deleting an attribute.
Built-In Attributes

 __dict__: Dictionary containing the class's namespace.


 __doc__: Class documentation string or none, if undefined.
 __name__: Class name.
 __module__: Module name in which the class is defined. This attribute is
"__main__" in interactive mode.
 __bases__: A possibly empty tuple containing the base classes, in the
order of their occurrence in the base class list.
Class: Vehicle
Vehicle

-Moves
-has operator

Car Truck Aeroplane

-Windows -windows -wings


-Doors -doors
-wheels
Inheritance

 Saves us starting from scratch


 Derive from pre-existing class
 Also inherits parents attributes
 Child can override parent data members and methods

 Use issubclass(sub, sup)


 isinstance(obj, Class)
examples

 Some examples from tutorialspoint to illustrate
