It defines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Attributes (data members)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Methods (member functions)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Example:<\/em><br><code>class Student { rollNo, name, register() }<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Encapsulation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Encapsulation is the mechanism of <strong>wrapping data and methods together<\/strong> into a single unit (class) and restricting direct access to some data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Benefit:<\/em> Data security and controlled access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Abstraction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Abstraction means <strong>showing only essential features<\/strong> and hiding internal implementation details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Example:<\/em><br>Using an ATM without knowing its internal processing logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Inheritance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inheritance allows a class to <strong>acquire properties and behavior<\/strong> of another class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Example:<\/em><br><code>Teacher<\/code> and <code>Student<\/code> classes inheriting from a <code>Person<\/code> class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Benefit:<\/em> Code reusability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>Polymorphism<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Polymorphism means <strong>one interface, many implementations<\/strong>. A single function or method behaves differently based on the object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Example:<\/em><br><code>print()<\/code> method working differently for <code>Student<\/code> and <code>Teacher<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. <strong>Message Passing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Objects communicate with each other by <strong>sending messages<\/strong> (method calls).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Example:<\/em><br><code>student.getResult()<\/code> calls a method of the <code>student<\/code> object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. <strong>Dynamic Binding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The method to be executed is <strong>decided at runtime<\/strong>, not at compile time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Example:<\/em><br>Method overriding in inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OOAD helps in building modular, scalable, and maintainable software systems by using object-oriented principles such as encapsulation, inheritance, abstraction, and polymorphism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question 1 of MCS-219: Object Oriented Analysis and Design.Answer: OOAD (Object-Oriented Analysis and Design) is a software engineering approach that focuses on modeling a system as a collection of interacting objects.
