Object-Orientation (OO)

What is Object-Orientation?

It is a technique in which we visualize our programming problems in the form of objects and their interactions as happens in real life.

Examples:

We have different objects around us in our real life that interact with each other to perform different operations for example,

A Person A House Parents Classroom Library

Suppose we want to develop a fee collection system for a school for this we will need to find out related objects and their interactions as happens in real life.

In this way we can say that object orientation makes it easier for us to solve our real world problems by thinking solution of the problem in terms of real world objects.

So we can say that in our daily life everything can be taken as an object that behaves in a certain way and has certain attributes.

In object orientation we move our concentration to objects in contrast to procedural paradigm in which we simply write our code in functions and call them in our main program.

Q01. 2. What is a Model?

A model is an abstraction of something real or conceptual.

We need models to understand an aspect of reality.
