What is OOP?
 OOP stands for Object-Oriented
Programming.
 Procedural programming is about writing
procedures or functions that perform
operations on the data, while object-oriented
programming is about creating objects that
contain both data and functions.
 Object-oriented programming has several
advantages over procedural programming:
What is OOP?
 OOP is faster and easier to execute
 OOP provides a clear structure for the programs
 OOP helps to keep the C++ code DRY "Don't
Repeat Yourself", and makes the code easier to
maintain, modify and debug
 OOP makes it possible to create full reusable
applications with less code and shorter
development time
What is OOP?
 Tip: The "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) principle
is about reducing the repetition of code.
 You should extract out the codes that are common
for the application, and place them at a single
place and reuse them instead of repeating it.
What are Classes and
Objects?
 Classes and objects are the two main aspects of
object-oriented programming.
 Look at the following illustration to see the
difference between class and objects:

Classes
 The main purpose of C++ programming is
to add object orientation to the C
programming language
 classes are the central feature of C++ that
supports object-oriented programming
 A class is used to specify the form of an
object and
 It combines data representation and
methods for manipulating.
Classes
 The data and functions within a class are called
members of the class.
C++ Class Definitions
 Class is blueprint for a data type
 What an object of the class will consist of
 What operations can be performed on such
an object
Object Properties
 Attributes
 Behaviors (Functionalities)
Define C++ Objects
 A class provides the blueprints for objects,
so basically an object is created from a
class.

Both of the objects Box1 and Box2


will have their own copy of data
members.
Accessing the Data
Members
 The public data members of objects of a
class can be accessed using the direct
member access operator (.)

 Example
Important
 It is important to note that private and
protected members can not be accessed
directly using direct member access
operator (.)
 We will learn how private and protected
members can be accessed
Class Activity
 Make class of diagram below
