A question just for you, Didn't you had a same acc with a simillar name ? or did that got banned? or your just a copier? O.o
Haha. I'm the same guy
I'm just using this account temporarily, I'm hoping to use my 900th posts for something special. Of course that day may never come since I caused Dave so much trouble. Probably not the smartest move on my part. I'm sorry for nagging him, but that's another story and beyond the point.
It's in the first chapter and the 2nd one will tell you later about exact ones.
Why06 again so OOP means that it lets you re-use the code? Oh wow if it's just that. But why "Object Oriented"?
Ok. Here's how may old Java teacher explained it:
If you think about it everything in the world is an object. So instead of programming with mathematical equations and jumps every which way, why not structure our code into logical encapsulations. These are called classes. In nature a class might be birds. Now as you know there are many different types of birds.
A peacock is a bird. A parrot is a bird, an eagle and so on... So what do all these things have in common? Well they all have feathers, beaks, and wings. This is called Inheritence. In OOP class can inherit the traits of a base class. (we would call it a super class in Java) So you see a penguin would inherit wings, feather, and a beak from the bird class. In programming this might be similar to inheriting common functions.
Say you have a bunch of slightly different programs that still use some of the same functions. You could make a class to encapsulate those functions and those same traits will be available to all the off-spring of that class. So you see a penguin may inherit all these traits which keeps us from having to recode the attributes everytime we want a different kind of bird. Say we wanted an eagle. Well eagles can fly while penguins can swim, but they are both birds. So I can just use the bird class to create a new class called eagle only adding the fact that eagles can fly.
As you can see you sing these same features over again can drastically improve development time. Before OOP you might have had to retype the same basic program a hundred times then just typing what has changed about it. Now I'm bet your wondering what an object is?
Well an object is a specific implementation of that class. A class is a blueprint for an object, and the object is the actual thing. That is about as far as I can go into detail right now with out you having any real experience in programming.
Right now you just need to start writing code. Sooner or later you will really come to see how powerful and adaptable objects are.
