Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects," which can contain data and code. It is designed to handle complex software development by structuring programs into modular and reusable components.
Encapsulation: Bundling Data and
Functions Together
Encapsulation is the mechanism of wrapping data
(variables) and functions (methods) that operate on that data
within a single unit, typically a class in object-oriented
programming languages.
Benefits
1. Data hiding: Encapsulation allows developers to hide the
implementation details of a class from the outside world,
exposing only what is necessary. This helps to prevent
unintentional modification of data and ensures that the
class's internal state remains consistent.
2. Code organization: By bundling related data and
functions together, encapsulation makes code more
organized, easier to understand, and simpler to modify.
, 3. Reusability: Encapsulated classes can be easily reused in
different parts of an application or even in other
applications, promoting modular and maintainable code.
Abstraction: Simplifying Complex
Systems
Abstraction is a fundamental concept in computer science
that helps simplify complex systems. It involves reducing the
complexity of a system by modeling only the necessary details
and ignoring the irrelevant ones. This is a note about
Abstraction:
What is Abstraction?
Abstraction is the process of modeling only the essential
details of a system while ignoring the irrelevant ones
It is used to reduce the complexity of a system by hiding
the implementation details from the user
Abstraction helps to create simple, intuitive interfaces
that are easy to use and understand
Benefits of Abstraction
Simplicity: Abstraction reduces the complexity of a
system by allowing the user to interact with a simplified
interface
Modularity: Abstraction promotes modularity by
allowing the implementation details of a system to be
hidden from the user
