Concepts in Object-Oriented Design CSCI 240 Dale Roberts, Lecturer Computer Science, IUPUI E-mail: droberts@cs.iupui.edu
Example: Classroom • Attending the lecture we have several individuals • Wade - loves Chinese food • George - an outdoorsman • Wendle - is a sports nut • Lee - doesn't eat anything with a vowel in its name • These are the students of our lecture Note that the individuals are not identical. Wade George Wendle Lee
Abstraction and Classes • From our perspective, we see them as an instantiation of a "Class", Student • has a name • attends class • has a grade • completes assignments Note the each student looks the same even though the are different individuals • A Class defines an "Abstraction" • OO Abstractions are based on • data (name, grade, attendance record) • "Attributes" • simple access • behavior (completes assignments, attends class) • "Operations/Methods" • complex properties • relationships (student in course) • external implementations
Objects, Instances of a Class • Classes define what properties will exist in each instance • Objects provide distinct instances that exhibit those properties Class Objects George : Student · Name=“George” · Attendence=100% · Current Grade=A Lee : Student · Name=“Lee” · Attendence=85% · Current Notice that the data members are replicated in each object. Each object is an instance of Student. It does not make sense to replicate member functions. Grade=B
Messaging Supports Encapsulation • We interact with objects through "messages" • Messages allow object to determine implementation rather than the sender determining the implementation for each instance. Messages are passed and handled, rather than invoked like functions.
Polymorphism Supports Encapsulation • Allows an object of any implementation type, which satisfies the interface defined by the abstraction, to be used by a generic reference to an abstraction. • Promotes a separation of interface and implementation class GraduateStudent : Student ; float calculateScore(Student s); GraduateStudent George; calculateScore(George) Wade is an undergraduate Student George is an graduate Student Polymorphism says that you can treat both Wade and George as Students if the distinction between undergraduate and graduate is not important.
Hierarchies • Organize lower level abstractions into more complex abstractions • Hierarchies allow more complex abstractions to be understood • Two basic forms • Inheritance • Generalization - Specialization • Base Class - Derived Class • Parent - Child • Abstract Class - Concrete Class • Aggregation (many-to-one relationships) • Whole - Part • Containership • Collection • Group
Inheritance Hierarchy • an "is-A" relationship • Inheritance • for type - a re-use of common interface • for class - a re-use of common interface and implementation Student Person · Name · Name · Attendence · Current Grade
Aggregation Hierarchy • a "has-A" relationship • assembly-part - where the aggregation of parts makes up the whole • ex: airplane is an aggregation of wings, wheels, motor, prop, etc. • container-contents - where the container exists with or without contents • ex: classroom is an aggregation of students, instructor, tables, chairs, etc. • group-member - where members are logically associated with whole • ex: course has students and teachers as members • "weak has-A" - where there is more of a peer-to-peer relationship between abstractions (association) • ex: Instructor has students, Students have instructor

Re-organization of OO Abstractions • Data dependent behavior handled by derived classes • New functionality handled by new associated classes ("wrappers", "adapters", "views")
UML Sample Class View Diamond implies composition: All MediaTopics together comprise a CardCatalog. Notice that this sample class view does not include visibility indicators.
