  2. Method overriding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_overriding

    The method Print in class Box, by invoking the parent version of method Print, is also able to output the private variables length and width of the base class. Otherwise, these variables are inaccessible to Box. The following statements will instantiate objects of type Rectangle and Box, and call their respective Print methods:

  3. Forwarding (object-oriented programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forwarding_(object...

    In this Java example, the Printer class has a print method. This print method, rather than performing the print itself, forwards to an object of class RealPrinter. To the outside world it appears that the Printer object is doing the print, but the RealPrinter object is the one actually doing the work.

  4. Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming

    In object oriented programming, objects provide a layer which can be used to separate internal from external code and implement abstraction and encapsulation. External code can only use an object by calling a specific instance method with a certain set of input parameters, reading an instance variable, or writing to an instance variable.

  5. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python allows the creation of class methods and static methods via the use of the @classmethod and @staticmethod decorators. The first argument to a class method is the class object instead of the self-reference to the instance. A static method has no special first argument. Neither the instance, nor the class object is passed to a static method.

  6. Class (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_(computer_programming)

    The object methods include access to the object state (via an implicit or explicit parameter that references the object) whereas class methods do not. If the language supports inheritance , a class can be defined based on another class with all of its state and behavior plus additional state and behavior that further specializes the class.

  7. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Methods on objects are functions attached to the object's class; the syntax instance. method (argument) is, for normal methods and functions, syntactic sugar for Class. method (instance, argument). Python methods have an explicit self parameter to access instance data , in contrast to the implicit self (or this ) in some other object-oriented ...

  8. Type introspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_introspection

    In Object Pascal, all classes descend from the base TObject class, which implements basic RTTI functionality. Every class's name can be referenced in code for RTTI purposes; the class name identifier is implemented as a pointer to the class's metadata, which can be declared and used as a variable of type TClass.

  9. Interface (object-oriented programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_(object-oriented...

    For example, in Java, the Comparable interface specifies a method compareTo() which implementing classes must implement. This means that a sorting method, for example, can sort a collection of any objects of types which implement the Comparable interface, without having to know anything about the inner nature of the class (except that two of ...
