Abstract

CHAPTER 1 ■ ■ ■ T his chapter introduces object-oriented programming. Those who are familiar with object- oriented programming will probably want to skip this chapter. You can take many approaches to object-oriented design, as evidenced by the number of books written about it. The following introduction takes a fairly pragmatic approach and doesn’t spend a lot of time on design, but the design-oriented approaches can be quite useful to newcomers. What’s an Object? An object is merely a collection of related information and functionality. An object can be something that has a corresponding real-world manifestation (such as an employee object), something that has some virtual meaning (such as a window on the screen), or just some convenient abstraction within a program (a list of work to be done, for example). An object contains the data that describes the object and the operations that can be performed on the object. Information stored in an employee object, for example, might be various identi- fication information (name and address), work information (job title and salary), and so on. The operations performed might include creating an employee paycheck or promoting an employee. When creating an object-oriented design, the first step is to
