Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Programming Languages Three levels of programming languages: –Machine Languages –Machine language instructions are binary coded and very low level. –Assembly Languages –Assembly language allows symbolic programming. Requires an assembler to translate assembly programs into machine programs. –High-level Languages –High-level language provides a very high conceptual model of computing. Requires a compiler to translate high-level pograms into assembly programs.

To write a program, you need to learn a language that can be converted into a form that the computer can understand –Early languages were designed to make this conversion easy –Modern languages are designed for the convenience of the programmer Java is a high-level object-oriented language

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Types of Languages Procedural languages approach programming as a sequence of operations on data Object-oriented languages model the world as a collection of objects –every object has properties that represent its state –objects have behavior associated with them

We use a rectangle to represent a class with its name appearing inside the rectangle. Example: Account Motorcycle

SV198 : BankAccount To instruct an object to perform a task, we send a message to it. The class an object belongs to must possess a matching method to be able to handle the received message. A value we pass to an object when sending a message is called an argument.

©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Class and Instance Data Values An object is comprised of data values and methods. An instance data value is used to maintain information specific to individual instances. For example, each BankAccount object maintains its balance. A class data value is used to maintain information shared by all instances or aggregate information about the instances. For example, minimum balance is the information shared by all Account objects, whereas the average balance of all BankAccount objects is an aggregate information.

The actual dollar amounts are, of course, different.

We also call the superclass an ancestor and the subclass a descendant.
