Object & Classes

Object & Classes

1. Object: They are everywhere, living, and otherwise: concrete and abstract

   • Attributes are called fields and actions are called methods
     • Fields and methods are optional, some have none and some have both
     • Methods require the data to function

2. Classes: A class is a blue print or a template to create objects of identical type.

   • If you have an employee class, you can create employee objects
   • Classes are OOP tools that enable programmers to create the abstraction of a problem
     • 3 things to consider: class name, the fields, and the methods
   • Syntax for class: Class className [class body]

3. OOP: object - oriented programming
