Practical coding examples
Important definitions to remember
30 MCQs at the end to strengthen understanding
Key Concepts of OOPs
Objects
Definition: Any entity in the real world can be considered an object (e.g., pen, laptop, phone).
In C++, objects are created to represent these real-world entities.
Classes
Definition: A class is a blueprint for creating objects, defining their properties and methods.
Example: A blueprint for cars that specifies their design.
Properties and Methods
Properties: Attributes associated with an object (e.g., teacher's name, department, subject, salary).
Methods: Functions associated with an object (e.g., change department).
Practical Implementation in C++
Use of STL Libraries in C++ (e.g., vector, string, stack) based on OOP concepts.
Creating classes and understanding their implementations through examples.
Important Terms
Access Modifiers
Private
: Members accessible only within the class.
Public
: Members accessible from outside the class.
Protected
: Members accessible within the class and derived classes.
Encapsulation
Definition: Wrapping of data and methods in a single unit (class).
Example: Hiding sensitive data while exposing necessary methods.
Abstraction
Definition: Hiding complex implementation details and showing only relevant features.
Inheritance
Definition: Mechanism to create a new class from an existing class, inheriting its properties and methods.
Types:
Single Inheritance
: One parent class, one child class.
Multilevel Inheritance
: A class derived from another derived class.
Multiple Inheritance
: A child class inherits from multiple parent classes.
Hierarchical Inheritance
: Multiple classes derived from a single parent class.
Hybrid Inheritance
: Combination of multiple types of inheritance.
Polymorphism
Definition: Ability of an object to take on many forms.
Types:
Compile Time Polymorphism
: Achieved through function overloading and operator overloading.
Runtime Polymorphism
: Achieved through function overriding using virtual functions.
Static Keyword
Used to define class members that share the same value across all instances.
Static variables persist for the lifetime of the program.
Key Takeaways
Strong understanding of OOP concepts is crucial for interviews and practical applications in programming.
Remember definitions and examples discussed in class.
Practice MCQs to reinforce learning.
Conclusion
Engage with the material through examples and practical applications.
Preparation for upcoming internships and placements.
Keep learning and applying OOP concepts.
