Procedural and OOP concepts

Question 1

procedural programming

Answer 1

style of programming in which operations are executed sequentially

Question 2

variable

Answer 2

a memory location defined by the data it holds and referenced in subsequent code by the name assigned to the data

Question 3

procedure (module/method/functions/subroutines)

Answer 3

unit of logic comprised of one or more operations

Question 4

OOP

Answer 4

Object oriented programming; focus on generation of objects from classes to be manipulated by applications

Question 5

class

Answer 5

blue print or general archetype from which an object is derived; the group of objects that defined by common archetypal properties

• either predefined in language or user generated
• potential attributes and behaviors that an object belonging to it can have

Question 6

object

Answer 6

specific instance of a class

Question 7

computer simulation

Answer 7

OOP application that attempts to mimic reality

Question 8

GUI

Answer 8

Graphical User Interface; allows user interaction with an application by way of graphical interface

Question 9

3 components of OOP

Answer 9

• classes
• objects
• applications of objects

Question 10

3 concepts of OOP

Answer 10

• encapsulation
• inheritance
• polymorphism

Question 11

class definition

Answer 11

establishes the attributes and behaviors that objects grouped within it can have

Question 12

attributes

Answer 12

properties an instantiation can potentially have defined by a block of code in a class definition

Question 13

object

Answer 13

specific instance of a class

Question 14

instantiation

Answer 14

the process of generating a specific instance of a class

Question 15

(object’s) state

Answer 15

the collection of specific values of the properties of a given object
- differentiate objects a class from one another

Question 16

class convention

Answer 16

first letter capitalized

Question 17

methods

Answer 17

behaviors (procedures) an instantiation can potentially have defined by a block of code in a class definition

Question 18

encapsulation

Answer 18

• characteristic of OOP that allows you to treat a collection of attributes and methods as a single entity (being referred to as an object)
• also refers to the concealment of an objects attributes and methods from use/manipulations by outside sources

Question 19

inherentence

Answer 19

• characteristic of OOP that allows parent/child or subset/superset hierarchical relationships between classes
• child classes will have common characteristics when they are part of the same parent class

Question 20

polymorphism

Answer 20

• “many forms”
• allows for the use of the same term to have different definitions
• valuable in application of the same behavior for different classes (“turn” method method would have different method for a car than a boat)
