|| INTRO TO OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING ||⁣ ⁣ 𝘖𝘣𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘖𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 (OOP) is a type of programming that relies on the creation of "Objects". These objects can contain data (in the form of variables) and methods that can access and modify the data. ⁣ ⁣ In contrast to OOP, 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 (another type of programming) doesn't involve objects. It simply involves methods and data that they can modify. ⁣ ⁣ Some examples of Procedural Programming Languages are 𝘊𝘖𝘉𝘖𝘓, 𝘊, 𝘗𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘭, 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯, etc. ⁣ ⁣ Some examples of OOP Languages are 𝘗𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘯, 𝘑𝘢𝘷𝘢, 𝘙𝘶𝘣𝘺, etc. ⁣ ⁣ Three important concepts that define Object Oriented Programming are 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐦, and 𝐈𝐧𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. ⁣ ⁣ I will be making separate posts with examples for these concepts so I am only brushing over them quickly today. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ For now, just know that:⁣ ⁣ ▪️ 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is the ability to bundle data with the methods that operate on it within a class, and the ability to hide data preventing direct access to it.⁣ ⁣ ▪️ 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐦 is a bit tricky to explain in one line without much background information of how classes and inheritance works. But, in broad terms, it refers to different forms being able to present the same interface.⁣ ⁣ ▪️ 𝐈𝐧𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 allows classes to "extend" or refer to other classes. The higher level class which extends to other classes is called the 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬. While the class that inherits from the super class is called the 𝐬𝐮𝐛 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬. For example, A sub class "Rectangle" can extend a super class "Shape".⁣ ⁣ 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘦 𝘨𝘰 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴, 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘥𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦. ⁣ ⁣ I am excited to share more posts with Object Oriented Programming concepts, examples, and exercises straight from my Programming II class. Whether you are a longtime user of OOP language and would enjoy a refresher, or a beginner looking to learn and understand it better, I hope you you find this useful.

Sundays are for cozy coding, self care, and getting ready for the week 🌿✨ . What are some of your Sunday habits? And are they getting you closer to or father away from your highest self?

In my commitment to become the best programmer I can be, I registered for weekly tutoring programming sessions starting tomorrow. I could have done without them, but why not take advantage of such an invaluable resource and go beyond “good enough”👩🏻‍💻 . I’m curious. What are some things you do or have done to become a better programmer? . . . . . . . . #studentlife #girlswhocode #coding #collegecampus #becomingasoftwareengineer #programming #alwayslearning #womeninstem #codealong #staymotivated #coder #webdev #girlsinSTEM #womenwhocode #programmer #computerscience #selftaught #developer #compsci #programming

*me judging my own code like* ⁣😒 ⁣ Finished my first programming project. But all that code you see there in that class? NO BUENO. Sure, it runs. And the output for all input files tried is perfect. But that does not mean I am DONE with this program. There are so many things for me to improve. Eg. one of my classes has an absurd amount of switch statements and branching if statements. I need to go get rid of those and find a cleaner way to do the same. This project is a perfect example of something I want to touch upon today:⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐟 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 💡 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘧 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘧𝘶𝘭? ⁣⁣ In a world of very complex operations, conditional clauses are hard to manage and maintain. There are some simple instances where if statements will be necessary, but beyond that, it is a much better programming practice to avoid conditionals. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 💡 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘧 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴?⁣⁣ As a CS student, I am still learning this myself. Which is why I wanted to write this post in the first place. There are friends here with much more knowledge and experience, so please feel free to drop your wisdom below and your favorite ways to circumvent using conditional statements 👇 The way around this that I am most familiar with so far is making use of 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐦. This involves creating subclasses matching the conditional's branches, and doing method calls instead of each conditional statement. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣_____________________________ Just because a program runs, it does not mean that it is the best possible version of it. After your code runs and you are "finished" review each structure and honestly 𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞. OTHERS will have to maintain your code. So readability and proper design are crucial. Don't get so attached to your programming habits that you hold yourself back from being a better developer

Currently working on my first Java assignment of the semester which is due next Tuesday. I haven’t touched any code in what feels like forever, so I’m definitely rusty. I have a free hour before class and I found this lovely spot on campus, so I’ll be here trying to design all this logic. It feels so good to be back programming. I also love bouncing off ideas and brainstorming how to structure my program with my little sister who is now officially a software engineer. “Hold up, I’m almost there sis. Wait for meee” 👩🏻‍💻🏊🏻‍♀️ . . . . . . #studentlife #girlswhocode #coding #collegecampus #becomingasoftwareengineer #programming #alwayslearning #womeninstem #codealong #staymotivated #coder #webdev #girlsinSTEM #womenwhocode #programmer #computerscience #selftaught #developer #compsci #programming

We have entered panther territory fam. 🐆 One huge step closer to becoming a software engineer 👩🏻‍💻✨🌸 Thank you if you’ve been following the journey and supporting for years, months, or even days💛 #WOCSTORY

Reawakening my yoga practice is the best gift I have given myself in 2020 so far. ✨ Thank you @adrienelouise for supporting that. 🧘🏻‍♀️ What gift have you given yourself this year?

My little rituals are what anchor me to myself ✨ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #findwhatfeelsgood #mindfulness #practiceyoga #findbalance #bemindfulnow #morningrituals #goodmorning #spiritualityawake #rituals #mindbody #yogapractice #fwfg #bepresent #yogagirl #wakeupwithpeace #mymorningroutine

This phrase has not left my mind for over a week. I realized I haven't allowed myself to be a beginner at anything else other than programming for over a year. Okay maybe other than that one time I went ice skating, the time I did kick boxing, and those hackathons in 2019 (but again, this last one is programming realted). ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I can suddenly see that I have been protecting my ego by only doing things that I am at least familiar with and somewhat good at. I want to challenge this. I want to feel confident trying things I'm not yet great at. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Some random things are: YT videos, podcasting, pottery, finance, ukulele among others. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It's not like I will jump straight into doing all of these right away, but I want to be more aware of the limitations I am putting on myself, and know what I could be doing if I wasn't so afraid of sucking at something.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ There is such a beauty in seeing yourself improve at something you thought you couldn’t do. One of my favorite feelings is when I look at drawings from my early teens and see how much my skills have developed. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝. I need to remind myself of this more often. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ A letter about this is coming to your inbox tomorrow. Keep your eyes on my newsletter
