OOP Notes
Abstract Classes - comprehensive guide to OOP concepts
// Usage public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { AbstractClassesExample example = new AbstractClassesExample("sample"); example.process(); } }
class AbstractClassesExample: def __init__(self, data): self.data = data
def process(self): print(f"Processing: {self.data}")
def get_data(self): return self.data
example = AbstractClassesExample("sample") example.process()
class AbstractClassesExample { private: std::string data; public: AbstractClassesExample(const std::string& d) : data(d) {}
void process() { std::cout << "Processing: " << data << std::endl; }
std::string getData() const { return data; } };
// Usage int main() { AbstractClassesExample example("sample"); example.process(); return 0; }

| ### Pattern 1 | Proper Initialization |
// Good: Clear initialization public class Example { private String field1; private int field2;
public Example(String f1, int f2) { this.field1 = f1; this.field2 = f2; } }
public void process(String input) throws IllegalArgumentException { if (input == null || input.isEmpty()) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid input"); } // Process }
try (Resource resource = new Resource()) { resource.use(); } // Automatically closed
| Aspect | Approach A | Approach B | Approach C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simplicity | High | Medium | Low |
| Performance | Medium | High | Low |
| Flexibility | Medium | Low | High |
| Maintainability | High | Medium | High |
@Test public void testBasicFunctionality() { // Arrange Example obj = new Example("data");
// Act String result = obj.process();
// Assert assertEquals("expected", result); }
@Test public void testEdgeCases() { // Test boundary conditions }
@Test public void testErrorHandling() { // Test exception scenarios }
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Performance degradation | Profile and optimize |
| Memory leaks | Use proper cleanup |
| Crashes | Add error handling |
| Data corruption | Add validation |
