Object-oriented
solutions are designed based on an
|
|
|
inheritance
hierarchy which defines the relationships
|
|
|
between
classes, where one class shares the structure
|
|
|
and/or
behavior of one or more classes.
|
|
|
| • |
To
provide this type of design requires that we understand
|
|
how
to implement such relationships between objects.
|
|
|
Therefore,
our first step in understanding object-oriented
|
|
|
programming
is to learn the syntax and semantics of
|
|
|
inheritance
hierarchies.
|
|
|

We
will also learn how to extend abstractions with new
|
|
|
functionality
even when the code for those abstractions is
|
|
|
not
available.
