Objects (OOP) (OCR A-Level Computer Science): Flashcards

Blueprint defining structure & behaviour of objects

Instance of a class with attributes & methods

Data that represents the state of an object

Functions defined within a class describing behaviours

Call the class like a function with initialisation data

Object is a specific instance of a class

No - each object has its own set of attribute values

Use and modify the object's attributes

Directly or by using methods

Each object operates independently

Both data (attributes) and actions (methods)

Through attributes
