Chapter 13. Objects and Classes—Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming

This chapter presents the fundamental concepts that constitute the basis of object-oriented programming (OOP). The chapter is broken down into the following topics:

You will start by looking at what objects and classes are, from a general (non-programmer) perspective. You will then learn a few formal definitions for the concepts of class and object, as applied to programming. You will then continue with a few examples of simple classes. You will create the class definition, and declare and use objects. The final section of this chapter talks about constructors.
