OOP

• What does Object Oriented Programming (OOP) focus on?

  Classes and objects
• What is a class in OOP?

  A template for a set of objects
• What do objects in OOP have?

  State and behaviour
• What is an object in OOP?

  An instance of a class
• What does an object hold?

  Attributes and methods
• What is an attribute in OOP?

  A variable attached to a class
• What is a method in OOP?

  A piece of code that performs an action
• Which method would you use to get an object's name?

  getName()
• What does inheritance allow in OOP?

  A derived class inherits attributes from superclass
• What is a derived class?

  A class that inherits from a superclass
• What does a derived class have in addition to inherited attributes?

  Its own attributes and methods
• What does the constructor method do?

  Creates a new object and sets attributes
• How do you create a new Monster object?

  monsterOne = new Monster(true, 5, "Boris")
• What does the method monsterOne.eat() output?

  Boris eats a hero.
• What is polymorphism in OOP?

  Same method behaves differently in classes
• What is encapsulation in OOP?

  Data hiding and access through methods
• What is a benefit of encapsulation?

  Reduces errors and maintains data integrity
• How does OOP differ from procedural programming?

  OOP defines objects as independent entities
• How can OOP improve code maintenance?

  Classes can be modified or extended easily
• What is a key advantage of using OOP for queues?

  Multiple instances can be created easily
• Why is OOP considered more secure than procedural programming?

  Access to attributes can be restricted
• What are the advantages of using an object-oriented paradigm?

  • Code can easily be reused
  • Classes can be used in other programs
  • Inheritance extends existing classes
  • Easier to maintain and modify classes
  • Debugging is simplified through encapsulation
  • Code security is enhanced by restricting access
  • Better for team collaboration with distributed classes
• Compare procedural programming and OOP for implementing a queue.

  Knowledge:

  • OOP defines objects as independent entities
  • Attributes can be private to restrict changes

  
  

  Application:

  • OOP allows object creation from the queue
  • Procedural requires individual queue declarations

  
  

  Evaluation:

  • OOP reduces code redundancy and errors
  • Procedural needs careful value passing and global variables
