Abstraction – AdvantagesAbstraction – Advantages

►Simplifies the model by hiding Simplifies the model by hiding irrelevant detailsirrelevant details

►Abstraction provides the freedom to Abstraction provides the freedom to defer implementation decisions by defer implementation decisions by avoiding commitment to detailsavoiding commitment to details


ClassesClasses

► In an OO model, some of the objects In an OO model, some of the objects exhibit identical characteristics exhibit identical characteristics (information structure and behaviour)(information structure and behaviour)

►We say that they belong to the same We say that they belong to the same classclass

InheritanceInheritance

►A child inherits characteristics of its A child inherits characteristics of its parentsparents

►Besides inherited characteristics, a Besides inherited characteristics, a child may have its own unique child may have its own unique characteristicscharacteristics


Inheritance in ClassesInheritance in Classes

► If a class B inherits from class A then it If a class B inherits from class A then it contains all the characteristics contains all the characteristics (information structure and behaviour) of (information structure and behaviour) of class Aclass A

►The parent class is called The parent class is called basebase class and class and the child class is called the child class is called derivedderived class class

►Besides inherited characteristics, Besides inherited characteristics, derived class may have its own unique derived class may have its own unique characteristicscharacteristics
