Slide 1: 

Object-Oriented Programming and Classes

Motivation: 

Basic, built-in, pre-defined types : char, int, double, … Variables + operations on them int a, b,c; c=a+b; c=a mod b; … More complicated, user-defined types : classes Motivation Variables  objects Types  classes

Slide 3: 

int main() { int x,y,z; int a,b,c; a=f1(x); b=f2(y); c=f3(z); … } int f1() { } int f2() { } int f3() { } int main() { A a; B b; C c; a.f1(); b.f2(); c.f3(); … } Class A { Int x; Int f1(); } Class B { Int y; Int f2() } Class C { Int z; Int f3(); } procedural programming: a sequence of ‘procedures’ Object oriented programming: a sequence of ‘objects’!

Motivation: 

Motivation Variables  objects Types  classes Procedural programming: Low-level, closer to hardware More intuitive, less abstract More ‘action’ oriented Focus on ‘action’, ‘procedure’, ‘method’ Procedure-oriented Object-oriented programming: High-level More abstract Focus on ‘what to do’ not on ‘how to do’ In the implementation of OOP, we still need sound ‘procedure programming’ skills!

Motivation: 

Motivation We want to build user-defined (and “smart”) objects that can answer many questions (and perform various actions). “What is your temperature?” “What is your temperature in Fahrenheit?” “What is your humidity?” “Print your temperature in Celsius.” What is your wish?

Temperature example : 

Temperature example Write a program that, given a temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius, will display the equivalent temperature in each of the scales. double degree = 0.0; // needs 2 items! char scale = 'F'; To apply a function f() to a temperature, we must specify both degree and scale: f(degree, scale); Also to display a temperature: cout << degree << scale;

Put related variables together …: 

(remember that an Array is a collection of variables of same type) The simpliest Class (or a C-structure) can be thought of being a collection of variables of different types Put related variables together …

A first simple ‘class’ or ‘object-oriented’ solution : 

A first simple ‘class’ or ‘object-oriented’ solution class Temperature { public: double degree; char scale; }; a new (user-defined) type, a composite type: Temperature! Two member variables: degree and scale In old C, this can be done using ‘structure’: structure Temperature { double degree; char scale; }; similar to ‘record’ in Pascal Remark:

The dot operator for (public) members: 

temp1.degree=54.0; temp1.scale=‘F’; temp2.degree=104.5; temp2.scale=‘C’; The dot operator for (public) members Temperature temp1, temp2; The modifier ‘public’ means that the member variables can be accessed from the objects, e.g. A C++ struct is a class in which all members are by default public.

Manipulation of the new type:: 

void print(Temperature temp) { cout << “The temperature is degree “ << temp.degree << “with the scale “ << temp.scale << endl; } double celsius(Temperature temp) { double cel; if (temp.scale==‘F’) cel=(temp.degree-32.0)/1.8; else cel=temp.degree; return cel; } double fahrenheit(Temperature temp) { double fa; if(temp.scale==‘C’) fa= temp.degree *1.8+32.0; else fa=temp.degree; return fa; } Some basic operations: Manipulation of the new type:

Slide 11: 

An application example: double annualAverageCelsius(Temperature arraytemp[]) { double av=0.0; for (int i=0;i<12;i++) av=av+celsius(arraytemp[i]); return av; }; Temperature annualtemp[12];

Put the variables and functions together …: 

Put the variables and functions together … Actual problem: 1. Member ‘variables’ are still separated from ‘functions’ manipulating these variables. 2. However, ‘functions’ are intrinsically related to the ‘type’. A more advanced class is a collection of (member) variables and (member) functions The simplest class (or a C-structure) defined this way is a collection of (member) variables (similar to RECORD in Pascal) “The art of programming is the art of organising complextity.”

An improved Temperature class with member functions associated: 

Assembly the data and operations together into a class! class Temperature{ public: void print(); // member functions double celsius(); double fahrenheit(); double degree; // member variables char scale; }; An improved Temperature class with member functions associated

Operators for members: 

Operators for members The dot operator not only for public member variables of an object, but also for public member functions (during usage), e.g. Temperature temp1; temp1.celsius(); temp1.print(); 1. Temp1 receives print() message and displays values stored in degree and scale, receives celsius() message to give the temperature in celsius … 3. The temperature are ‘smart objects’  unlike ‘stupid’ basic type objects Comments: 2. It is not the function which is calling the object like print(temp1) traditionally, temp1.print()  object oriented! function  method Function(procedure) call  message

Operators for defining member functions: 

double Temperature::celsius() { double cel; If (scale==‘F’) cel= (degree-32.0)/1.8; else cel=degree; return cel; } :: for member functions of a class (during definition) Operators for defining member functions :: is used with a class name while dot operator is with an object! From the class, not from an object Full name of the function double celsius(double degree, char scale)

Using ‘private’ modifier!: 

Using ‘private’ modifier! Using private member variables for data protection and information hiding Using member functions to access the private data instead Try to make functions ‘public’ Try to make data ‘private’ ‘private’ members can only be used by member functions, nothing else! Global Local

New version of Temperature class: 

New version of Temperature class class Temperature{ public: // member functions void print(); double celsius(); double fahrenheit(); private : // member variables double degree; char scale; };

Slide 18: 

double Temperature::celsius() { double cel; If (scale==‘F’) cel= (degree-32.0)/1.8; else cel=degree; return cel; } OK it can not be accessed directly by using temp1.degree ! When the datum ‘degree’ is private, Possible only when ‘degree’ is public or in member functions Private member variables can only be accessed by ‘member functions’ of the same class.

Using member functions to (indirectly) access private data: 

class Temperature{ public: // member functions double getDegree(); char getScale(); void set(double newDegree, char newScale); void print(); double celsius(); double fahrenheit(); private: // member variables double degree; char scale; }; Using member functions to (indirectly) access private data

Slide 20: 

double Temprature::getDegree() { return degree; } double Temprature::getScale() { return scale; } double Temprature::set(double d, char s) { degree = d; scale = s; } Some member functions on private data:

Slide 21: 

(Temporary) Summary: A collection of member variables and member functions is a Class Struct is a class with only member variables, and all of them public ‘public’ member can be used outside by dot operator ‘private’ member can only be used by member functions Dot operator for objects and Scope resolution operator :: for class

Slide 22: 

class A { public: void f(); int x; private: int y; } void A::f() { x=10; y=100; } int main() { A a; a.f(); cout << a.x << endl; cout << a.y << endl; // no!!! a.x = 1000; a.y = 10000; // no!!! }

Some basic member functions:: 

Some basic member functions: Constructors for initialisation Access for accessing member variables Update for modifying data I/O and utility functions … The other (application) functions should be built on these member functions! Classification of member functions:

A more complete definition : 

A more complete definition class Temperature{ public: Temperature(); Temperature(double idegree, char iscale); double getDegree() const; char getScale() const; void set(double newDegree, char newScale); void read(); void print() const; double fahrenheit(); double celsius(); private: double degree; char scale; }; A complete class should have a complete set of basic member functions manipulating the class objects Protection of data: ‘const’ modifier

Default-Value Constructor : 

Default-Value Constructor A constructor is a special member function whose name is always the same as the name of the class. Temperature::Temperature(){ degree = 0.0; scale = 'C'; } A constructor function initializes the data members when a Temperature object is declared. Temperature temp3;

Slide 26: 

Constructor functions have no return type (not even void!). Because a constructor function initializes the data members, there is no const following its heading. ‘constructor’ is over-loaded The constructor function is automatically called whenever a Temperature class object is declared. Remarks on ‘constructor’:

Application of Temperature class : 

#include <iostream> using namespace std; // definition of Temperature class goes here void main(){ char resp; Temperature temp; do{ cout << "Enter temperature (e.g., 98.6 F): "; temp.read(); cout << temp.fahrenheit() << “Fahrenheit” << endl; cout << temp.celsius() << “Celsius” << endl; cout << endl << endl; cout << "Another temperature to convert? "; cin >> resp; }while(resp == 'y' || resp == 'Y'); } Application of Temperature class

‘Smart’ Temperature Object : 

‘Smart’ Temperature Object A smart object should carry within itself the ability to perform its operations Operations of Temperature object : initialize degree and scale with default values read a temperature from the user and store it compute the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature compute the corresponding Celsius temperature display the degrees and scale to the user

Overloading: 

Overloading

function overloading: 

function overloading #include <stdio.h> int max(int a, int b) { if (a > b) return a; return b; } char* max(char* a, char* b) { if (strcmp(a, b) > 0) return a; return b; } int main() { printf("max(19, 69) = %d\n", max(19, 69)); // cout << “max(19, 69) = “ << max(19, 69) << endl; printf("max(abc, def) = %s\n", max("abc", "def")); // cout << “max(“abc”, “def”) = “ << max(“abc”, “def”) << endl; return 0; }

Operator Overloading: 

Operator Overloading class Complex { ... public: ... Complex operator+(const Complex& op) { double real = _real + op._real, imag = _imag + op._imag; return(Complex(real, imag)); } ... }; An expression of the form c = a + b; is translated into a method call c = a.operator+(a, b); To enable conventional notations:

Slide 32: 

The overloaded operator may not be a member of a class: It can rather defined outside the class as a normal overloaded function. For example, we could define operator + in this way : class Complex { ... public: ... double real() { return _real; } double imag() { return _imag; } // No need to define operator here! }; Complex operator+(Complex& op1, Complex& op2) { double real = op1.real() + op2.real(), imag = op1.imag() + op2.imag(); return(Complex(real, imag)); }

Slide 33: 

Generic programming and templates It’s important to know it, though we don’t ask you to ‘do’ it.

Templates: 

Templates A function or a class or a type is parameterized by another type T. Template or not template, that’s the question of 171!

Function templates: 

Function templates int max(const int& a, const int& b) {…} double max(const double& a, const double& b) {…} string max(const string& a, const string& b) {…} T max(const T& a, const T& b) {…} template<typename T> T max(const T& a, const T& b) { if (a>b) return a; else return b; } Main() { int i=1,j=2; cout << max(i,j); string a(“hello”), b(“world); cout << max(a,b); } A parameter T is a type Also ‘template <class T>’ Function templates: not functions, patterns or templates Compiler creates two max() functions: template instantiation

Class templates: 

Class templates template <typename T> class A { public: A(T data); ~A() { delete x;} T get() {return *x;} T set(T data); private: T* x; }; template<typename T> A<T>::A(T data) { X=new; *x=data; } tempalte<typename T> T A<T>::set(T data) { *x=data; } #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; main() { A<int> i(5); A<string> s(“comp171”); Cout << i.get() << endl; Cout << s.get() << endl; i.set(10); s.set(“CS”); cout << i.get() << endl; cout << s.get() << endl;

Class templates: STL—Standard Template Library: 

Class templates: STL—Standard Template Library C type arrays  vectors and strings Problems with arrays: Not copied with = No size No index checking We learnd the C++ string class Vector size is variable … #include <iostream> #include <vector> using namespace std; main() { vector<int> A(100); For (int i=0; i<A.size();i++) { A[i] = …; } }

An example of generic linked List: 

An example of generic linked List template<typename T> class Node { public: T data; Node<T>* next; } template<typename T> class List { Public: … Private: Node<T>* head; } struct Node{ public: int data; Node* next; }; typedef Node* Nodeptr; class listClass { public: listClass(); // constructor listClass(const listClass& list1); // copy constructor ~listClass(); // destructor bool empty() const; // boolean function int headElement() const; // access functions void addHead(int newdata); // add to the head void delHead(); // delete the head int length() const; // utility function void print() const; // output private: Nodeptr head; };

Separate compilation:: 

Separate compilation: *.h interfaces Few in procedural programming Lots in OOP *.cc implementations Fewer in OOP

Other advanced class concepts: Sub-class, Derived classes, and class hierarchies (comp151): 

Other advanced class concepts: Sub-class, Derived classes, and class hierarchies (comp151)  Polygon  line segment  point

Friend: 

Friend A friend of a class can access to its private data members class Vector { friend Vector operator*(const Matrix&, const Vector&); }; Class Matrix { friend Vector operator*(const Matrix&, const Vector&); };

Summary: 

Summary A class can be used not only to combine data but also to combine data and functions into a single (compound) object. A member variable or function may be either public or private It can be used outside of the class when it’s public It can only be used by other member functions of the same class when it’s private An object of a class can be copied by “=“, memberwise copy (for static classes) ‘const’ is part of the function definition A constructor is a member function called automatically when an object is declared Each class has to have at least one constructor Constructors can be overloaded as long as the argument lists are different

Slide 43: 

Abstract Data Type

What is an abstract data type?: 

What is an abstract data type? A data type consists of a collection of values together with a set of basic operations on these values A data type is an abstract data type if the programmers who use the type do not have access to the details of how the values and operations are implemented. All pre-defined types such as int, double, … are abstract data types An abstract data type is a ‘concrete’ type, only implementation is ‘abstract’

Abstract Data Type: 

Abstract Data Type An Abstract Data Type is a class with some special restrictions. These restrictions can make programming easier. One of these restrictions is called information hiding , used as black boxes, hide the implementation details In information hiding, the user should not be allowed to access the data members directly (they should be private). An Abstract Data Type is used in Object-Oriented Programming (COMP151).

How to do it in C++ with classes?: 

How to do it in C++ with classes? Make all the member variables private  private data (implementation details) Make member functions public  public interface Separate the public interface from implementation, If you change the implementation, you don’t need to change the other parts of the programmes.

Slide 51: 

int i; i=0; int j; j=10; int k; k=j; int i(0); int j(10); int k(j);

main(): 

void main(){ Rational r; Rational s; cout << "Enter two rationals(a/b): "; r.Get(); s.Get(); Rational t(r); Rational sum = r.Add(s); r.Display(); cout << " + "; s.Display(); cout << " = "; sum.Display(); cout << endl; Rational product = r.Multiply(s); r.Display(); cout << " * "; s.Display(); cout << " = "; product.Display(); cout << endl; } main()

const: 

const You can use const on user-defined types as usual: const Rational OneHalf(1,2); OneHalf.Display(); // no problem OneHalf.Get(); // illegal: OneHalf is a const

Implementation of Rational class: 

Implementation of Rational class

Default-Value Constructor: 

Default-Value Constructor // default-value constructor Rational::Rational(){ Numerator = 0; Denominator = 1; } Example Rational r; // r = 0/1

Explicit-Value Constructor: 

Explicit-Value Constructor // explicit-value constructor Rational::Rational(int numer, int denom){ Numerator = numer; Denominator = denom; } Example Rational t1(2,3); // t1 = 2/3 Rational t2(2); // t2 = 2/1 = 2 Note: the prototype is Rational(int numer, int denom = 1);

Copy Constructor (automatic): 

Copy Constructor (automatic) Example Rational t1(2,3); // t1 = 2/3 Rational t2(t1); // t2 = 2/3 // copy constructor, automatically provided Rational::Rational(const Rational& r) { Numerator = r.Numerator; Denominator = r.Denominator; } Note: very important concept, and it is AUTOMATIC for static classes! r.Numerator is possible because it’s in a member function. So the private parts can only be used by member functions.

ADT and class: 

ADT and class They are different concepts We use ‘class’ to implement the concept of ‘ADT’ Class can do much more than ADT …
