Case Studies and Review 9 Thinking Methodology Induction From specialization to generalization create the word “dog” from different dogs to Dog 10 Thinking Methodology Deduction(infer) From generalization to specialization the word “dog” you have learned that an animal is or is not a dog. From DOG 11 Design Methodologies Functional The decomposition (Top-Down) whole system is characterized by a single function, and then the function is decomposed into a set of functions in a process of stepwise refinement. 12 Functional decomposition The System Function1 Desk 13 Function2 Table top Studying Function3 ... ...

Data plays a secondary role. Does not necessarily reflect the states of abstraction in the application. 16 Object-Orientation A thinking methodology Everything is an object. Any system is composed of objects (a system is also an object). The evolution and development of a system is caused by the interactions of the objects inside/outside a system. 17 Everything is an object A student, a professor A desk, a chair, a classroom, a building A university, a city, a country The world, the universe A subject such as CS, IS, Math, History, … 18 Systems are composed of objects An educational system An economic system An information system A computer system 19 The development of a system is caused by interactions NJIT is defined by the interactions among: students professors Inside NJIT staff Board governance State governance … ... 20 Outside NJIT Design Methodologies Object-Orientation is a design methodology(OOA/OOD) Objects are the building blocks of a program (interface, editor, menu, file, etc.); data managing object (db), etc.) Objects represent real-world abstractions within an application. 21 Design Methodologies Object-orientation induction: objects -> a class This needs tools and deduction: a class ->objects This 22 supports needs programmers Design Methodologies Object-orientation Top-down: supports from a super-class to sub- classes Bottom-up: from sub-classes to a super-class 23 Programming Techniques The evolution of programming techniques is to make languages more expressive to control complex systems more easily 24 Abstract Data Types(ADTs) Abstraction Properties Abstract Data Types and ObjectOrientation 25 Abstraction to understand a problem by separating necessary from unnecessary details To define the interface to a data abstraction without specifying implementation detail. 26 Abstraction Problem Model 27 Properties of ADT With abstraction, you create a welldefined entity These entities define the data structure as a set of items. For example, each employee has a name, date of birth, and social number... 28 Properties of ADT(Cont.) The data structure can only be accessed with defined operations. This An set of operations is called the interface entity with these properties is called an abstract data type (ADT). 29 ADT Abstract Data Type Abstract Data Structure Interface Operations 30 Definition (ADT) ADT is characterized by the following properties: 1. It exports a type. 2. It exports a set of operations. 3. Operations of the interface are the only access mechanism to the data structure. 4. Axioms and preconditions define the application domain of the type. 31 Example: ADT List Type List. The interface to instances of type List is defined by the interface definition file. Operations: insert, get, append, delete, search,… 32 List The application domain is defined by the semantical meaning of the provided operations. Axioms and preconditions include statements such as ``An empty list is a list.'' ``Let l=(d1, d2, d3, ..., dN) be a list. Then l.append(dM) results in l=(d1, d2, d3, ..., dN, dM).'' ``an element of a list can only be deleted if the list is not empty.'' 33 Encapsulation Combines the data and the operations Encloses both variables and functions Keeps details of data and operations from the users of the ADT 34 Encapsulation (cont.) Allows for modularity Controls access to data Separates implementation from interface Extends the built-in types 35 Object-Oriented Programming Objects are derived from ADTs. Interacting objects handle their own house-keeping. Objects in a program interact by sending messages to each other. 36 Object1 Data1+Procedures1 Object2 Data Data Data12 2 + Procedures Object3 Data3 + Procedures3 Object4 Data4 + Procedures4 37 Object-Oriented Programming Each object is responsible to initialize and destroy itself. Therefore, there is no need to explicitly call a creation or termination procedure. 38 ADT and Object-Orientation ADTs allow for the creation of instances with well-defined properties and behavior. In object-orientation, ADTs are referred to as classes. Therefore, a class defines the properties of objects called instances. 39 ADT and Object-Orientation ADTs define functionality by emphasizing the involved data, their structure, operations, axioms and preconditions. Object-oriented programming is ``programming with ADTs'': combining functionality of different ADTs to solve a problem. Therefore, instances (objects) of ADTs (classes) are dynamically created, destroyed and used. 40 Inheritance(Hierarchy) Expresses commonality among objects Allows code reusability Highlights Generalization/Specialization relationships 41 Polymorphism The ability of objects to respond differently to the same message or function call. 42 Object-Orientation Evolution Modules Information hiding Data encapsulation Abstract data types Objects 43 Remember: Encapsulation (Data & Operations)-- A technique for Information Hiding. The users of the objects do not need to know the details of the data and operations of the objects. Data Abstraction -- the procedure to define a class from objects. Abstract Data Type-- Class. 44 Objects and Large Software Systems Object view Makes systems more understandable Unifies design and programming methods Initial program thoughts are informal objects-and-interactions, even when using non-OO languages. 45 Objects and Large Software Systems Divides code into logical chunks Allows for "off-the-shelf" code libraries to be reused Supports code evolution: internals can always be re-written as long as interface stays the same 46 Reading 47 Chapter 1 Sections 1.1-1.2 Chapter 5 Sections 5.1-5.2
