2. Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807 2 Lecture Contents: F To apply class abstraction to develop software. F To explore the differences btw procedural paradigm and object-oriented paradigm. F To design programs using OO paradigm. F To design classes that follow the class- design guidelines.

3. Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807 3 Motivations F You already know in general the basics of object- oriented programming from the preceding lectures that were more or less focused on introducing Java syntax (1 st part) and C# syntax (2 nd part). F This lecture will demonstrate how to solve problems using the object-oriented paradigm.

All rights reserved. 0132130807 4 Class Abstraction and Encapsulation F Class abstraction means to separate class implementation from the use of the class.  The creator of the class provides a description of the class and lets the user know how the class can be used.  The user of the class does not need to know how the class is implemented. The detail of implementation is encapsulated and hidden from the user.

All rights reserved. 0132130807 5 Object-Oriented Thinking There exist various imperative programming practices: spaghetti code programming structured /Thinking in Functions/ programming; object oriented /Thinking in Classes/ programming Java as well as C# may use to explore all the three practices mentioned above. OOP approach has absolute advantages because Classes provide more flexibility and modularity for building reusable software. This section illustrates problem solving using different practices. Comparing the problem solutions, you will mark the differences between structured programming and OO programming and see the benefits of developing reusable code using objects and classes.

All rights reserved. 0132130807 6 Problem 1: Computing Body Mass Index Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of health on weight. It can be calculated by taking your weight in kilograms and dividing by the square of your height in meters. The interpretation of BMI for people aged below 16 years or older is as follows:

All rights reserved. 0132130807 9 Problem: Computing Body Mass Index F Solution in spaghetti code programming style: F Drawback: –The code cannot be reused in other programs F To make it reusable switch to structured programming style: F define a method to compute BMI as follows: double getBMI(double weight, double height)

11. Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807 11 Problem: Computing Body Mass Index F Solution in structured programming style: F OK, but new limitations appear: suppose you want to associate weight/height data with person’s name and age (day of birth). You need separate variables to store these values. BUT these values are not tightly coupled. F The ideal way to couple them is to create an object that contains them using instance data fields. F You can define a user class BMI (see next slide).

All rights reserved. 0132130807 15 Advantages of OOP approach F Structured Programming approach focuses on designing member functions (methods). F OO approach couples data and methods into objects. F OO approach focuses on objects and operations on objects.

16. Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807 16 Advantages of OOP approach F In structured programming data and operations on data are separate, and this requires sending data to methods through parameter passing mechanism /actual arguments and formal parameters/. F OOP places data and the operations in an object. F OOP organizes programs in a way that mirrors the real world, in which all objects are associated with both attributes and activities.

All rights reserved. 0132130807 17 Advantages of OOP approach F Using objects improves SW reusability and makes programs easier to develop and easier to maintain F Programming in Java/C# stimulates thinking in objects F Java/C# program can be viewed as a collection of cooperating objects (to discuss in next lecture).

F You should be able to add/drop students to/from the course. F See the UML class diagram  Write the Java source text and test the functionality of the Course class

22. Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0132130807 22 Designing a Class  (Coherence) A class should describe a single entity, and all the class operations should logically fit together to support a coherent purpose. F You can use a class for students, for example, F BUT F You should not combine students and staff in the same class, because students and staff have different entities.

All rights reserved. 0132130807 23 Designing a Class, cont.  (Separating responsibilities) A single entity with too many responsibilities can be broken into several classes to separate responsibilities. The classes String, StringBuilder, all deal with strings, for example, but have different responsibilities. The String class deals with immutable strings, the StringBuilder class is for creating mutable strings,
