- Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data within a single unit (class).
- Inheritance: Deriving new classes from existing ones, enabling code reuse.
- Polymorphism: Allowing methods to do different things based on the object it is acting upon.
- Abstraction: Hiding complex implementation details and exposing only the necessary parts.
Example in C#
Here's a simple example illustrating these concepts:
csharp// Encapsulation and Abstraction
public class Animal
{
// Property
public string Name { get; set; }
// Method
public virtual void Speak()
{
Console.WriteLine("Animal speaks");
}
}
// Inheritance
public class Dog : Animal
{
// Overriding the Speak method for Dog
public override void Speak()
{
Console.WriteLine("Woof! Woof!");
}
}
// Inheritance
public class Cat : Animal
{
// Overriding the Speak method for Cat
public override void Speak()
{
Console.WriteLine("Meow!");
}
}
// Polymorphism
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Creating objects of Dog and Cat
Animal myDog = new Dog();
Animal myCat = new Cat();
// Polymorphic behavior
myDog.Speak(); // Outputs: Woof! Woof!
myCat.Speak(); // Outputs: Meow!
}
}
Explanation:
- Encapsulation: The
Animal
class encapsulates theName
property and theSpeak
method. - Inheritance:
Dog
andCat
classes inherit from theAnimal
class, allowing them to use its properties and methods. - Polymorphism: The
Speak
method is overridden in bothDog
andCat
, enabling each to provide its own implementation while being referenced asAnimal
. - Abstraction: The user interacts with the
Speak
method without needing to understand the underlying details of how each animal speaks.
This example showcases how OOP principles can be effectively used in .NET.
