Oop Concepts
DEFINING OOP AND HOW IT CAME INTO BEING. OOP which fully means Object Oriented Programming. It is a programming paradigm that uses object consisting of data fields and methods together with their interaction to design applications and computer programs. The design concentrate on objects upon which functions or procedure itself. Object oriented programming is a very reliable method of programming because the re-usability of code and self contained nature of the program component.
Object oriented programming method started in the early 1960s. A breakthrough involving instances and object was achieved at MIT with the PDF-1. The first programming language to use object was Simula 67 which was designed for the purpose of creating simulation by Kristen Nygaard and Ole-Johan Dahl in Norway.
The term object oriented programming was first used by Xerox PARC in then small talk programming language. Object oriented programming as used in the small talk is dynamic as the objects could be changed; created or deleted as against the static systems that are commonly used before.
Object oriented programming became the dominant programming methodology in the early and mid 1990s. when programming languages supporting the techniques became widely available examples of which are visual Fox Pro 3.0 and Delph 1.0 its dominance was further enhanced by the raising popularity of graphical user interfaces which rely heavily upon OOP techniques.
OOP as a programming language has some features that relate with it which are mentioned below:
The feature of object oriented programming are:
Emphasis is on data rather than procedures.
Data is hidden and cannot be accessed by external functions, this is referred to as data encapsulation only a restricted set of operations can be done on the hidden member of the class by executing special functions called Methods. The advantages of using data encapsulation comes when the implementation of the class changes but the interface remains
