OOPs Concept
- Object
- Class
- Abstraction
- Inheritance
- Polymorphism
- Encapsulation
What is an Object?
- Any real-world entity that has a state and behavior is known as an object. For example, a chair, pen, table, keyboard, bike, etc.
- It can be physical or logical.
- A Cat is an Object because it has color, height, and weight as state and speaks, walks, and sleeps as behavior
- A table or chair is also an object because it has color, height, width &, etc.
What is a Class
→ A-Class is a Collection of Objects is a class. For Example, Vehicles, Tree, Animal
→ Class can also be defined as a blueprint from which we can create multiple individual objects.
Abstraction (What the object does)
Hiding internal (implementation) details and exposing/showcasing only the functionality is known as abstraction.
For example tv, We do not what happens behind the scene
Inheritance
When a child object acquires all the properties (variables/methods) from a parent object then it is known as inheritance.
Polymorphism
When the same task is done in a different way then it is known as Polymorphism. For Example, speaking, walking, convincing customers, playing football, youtube sessions, teaching
Encapsulation (How the Object does)
Wrapping hiding/code (Putting together) and data together into a single unit is known as encapsulation.
For example, a capsule is wrapped with different medicines.
In Salesforce, class is a perfect example of encapsulation.
