D278 Scripting and Programming Foundations - Set 3 - Part 3

Correct Answer: The interactions between components in a system over time

A sequence diagram shows the interactions between different components or objects in a system, and the order in which they occur.

Correct Answer: To define objects that share common properties and behaviors

A class is a blueprint for creating objects. It defines the attributes (data) and methods (behaviors) that the objects created from the class will have.

Correct Answer: A programming paradigm that uses objects to design applications

OOP is a programming paradigm centered around the concept of objects, which are instances of classes that contain both data and methods.

Correct Answer: The ability of one class to inherit properties and methods from another class

Inheritance allows a new class to inherit the attributes and methods of an existing class, promoting code reuse.

Correct Answer: Binding together data and the functions that manipulate that data

Encapsulation is the principle of bundling the data (attributes) and methods (functions) that operate on the data into a single unit, or class.

Correct Answer: The ability of different objects to respond to the same function in different ways

Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common super class. It enables one function to handle different types of objects in a meaningful way.

Correct Answer: A shared boundary across which components of a system interact

An interface is a contract that defines a set of methods that a class must implement, but does not specify how these methods should be implemented.

Correct Answer: To initialize an object when it is created

A constructor is a special method in a class that is automatically called when an object of that class is created, used to initialize the objects attributes.

Correct Answer: A method used to destroy objects that are no longer needed

A destructor is a special method that is automatically invoked when an object is no longer in use, allowing it to free up any resources it has used.

Correct Answer: Defining multiple methods with the same name but different parameters

Method overloading allows a class to define multiple methods with the same name but different parameter lists, providing different ways to perform an operation.
