In this chapter, you learned to: What is object orientation? Classes and objects; instance variables; methods, operations and polymorphism; organizing classes into inheritance hierarchies; the effect of inheritance hierarchies on polymorphism and variable declarations;.and another content. | Object-Oriented Software Engineering Practical Software Development using UML and Java Chapter 2: Review of Object Orientation © Lethbridge/Laganière 2005 Chapter 2: Review of Object Orientation What is Object Orientation? Procedural paradigm: Software is organized around the notion of procedures Procedural abstraction Works as long as the data is simple Adding data abstractions Groups together the pieces of data that describe some entity Helps reduce the system’s complexity. Such as Records and structures Object oriented paradigm: Organizing procedural abstractions in the context of data abstractions © Lethbridge/Laganière 2005 Chapter 2: Review of Object Orientation Object Oriented paradigm An approach to the solution of problems in which all computations are performed in the context of objects.

Something should be a class if
