  1. The essence of object-oriented programming Programming Fundamentals 25 Feliks Kluźniak Essence of OOP

  2. Consider conventional arithmetic expressions, defined by the following grammar: Expression = Term { ( “+” | “–” ) Term } . Term = Factor { ( “*” | “div” | “mod” ) Factor } . Factor = Number | Identifier | “(“ Expression “)” . Number = [ “+” | “–” ] Digit { Digit } . Digit = “0” | “1” | “2” | “3” | “4” | “5” | “6” | “7” | “8” | “9” . Essence of OOP

  3. Consider conventional arithmetic expressions, defined by the following grammar: Expression = Term { ( “+” | “–” ) Term } . Term = Factor { ( “*” | “div” | “mod” ) Factor } . Factor = Number | Identifier | “(“ Expression “)” . Number = [ “+” | “–” ] Digit { Digit } . Digit = “0” | “1” | “2” | “3” | “4” | “5” | “6” | “7” | “8” | “9” . The following is an example of an expression: (2 + 1 – 4) * ( – (5 + 2) + 6) Essence of OOP

  4. Consider conventional arithmetic expressions, defined by the following grammar: Expression = Term { ( “+” | “–” ) Term } . Term = Factor { ( “*” | “div” | “mod” ) Factor } . Factor = Number | Identifier | “(“ Expression “)” . Number = [ “+” | “–” ] Digit { Digit } . Digit = “0” | “1” | “2” | “3” | “4” | “5” | “6” | “7” | “8” | “9” . The following is an example of an expression: (2 + 1 – 4) * ( – (5 + 2) + 6) A program that can process such expressions (e.g., evaluate them, or translate them to machine language …) would have a part called a parser (a.k.a., syntactic analyzer) that would convert each expression to a convenient internal format.

  5. Consider conventional arithmetic expressions, defined by the following grammar: Expression = Term { ( “+” | “–” ) Term } . Term = Factor { ( “*” | “div” | “mod” ) Factor } . Factor = Number | Identifier | “(“ Expression “)” . Number = [ “+” | “–” ] Digit { Digit } . Digit = “0” | “1” | “2” | “3” | “4” | “5” | “6” | “7” | “8” | “9” . The following is an example of an expression: (2 + 1 – 4) * ( – (5 + 2) + 6) A program that can process such expressions (e.g., evaluate them, or translate them to machine language …) would have a part called a parser (a.k.a., syntactic analyzer) that would convert each expression to a convenient internal format. One such convenient internal format is that of a general tree (not a binary tree) that expresses the semantic (as opposed to syntactic) structure of the expression. Essence of OOP

Notice that the operand of a unary operator might be a Value, a UnOp, or a BinOp ! There are three common ways to solve the problem. Essence of OOP

  44. type Value = record% An integer value: val : int% the value end ; typeUnOp = record % A unary operator: op : int; % the operator opnd : ? % the operand end ; type BinOpP = BinOp ^ ; typeBinOp = record% An operator or a value: kind : int; % kind of node op :int;% the operator or the value opnd1 : BinOpP ;% the left operand, if any opnd2 : BinOpP% the right operand, if any end The first is to have only one type of record that will contain fields that are not always used. In our case this would be the BinOp record: by convention, when representing a unary operator we would not use the opnd2 field, and when representing a value we would use just the op field for storing the value. Essence of OOP

  45. type Value = record% An integer value: val : int% the value end ; typeUnOp = record % A unary operator: op : int; % the operator opnd : ? % the operand end ; type BinOpP = BinOp ^ ; typeBinOp = record% An operator or a value: kind : int; % kind of node op : int;% the operator or the value opnd1 : BinOpP ;% the left operand, if any opnd2 : BinOpP% the right operand, if any end The first is to have only one type of record that will contain fields that are not always used. In our case this would be the BinOp record: by convention, when representing a unary operator we would not use the opnd2 field, and when representing a value we would use just the op field for storing the value. What are the disadvantages of such a scheme? Essence of OOP

  46. type Value = record% An integer value: val : int% the value end ; typeUnOp = record % A unary operator: op : int; % the operator opnd : ? % the operand end ; type BinOpP = BinOp ^ ; typeBinOp = record% An operator or a value: kind : int; % kind of node op : int;% the operator or the value opnd1 : BinOpP ;% the left operand, if any opnd2 : BinOpP% the right operand, if any end The first is to have only one type of record that will contain fields that are not always used. In our case this would be the BinOp record: by convention, when representing a unary operator we would not use the opnd2 field, and when representing a value we would use just the op field for storing the value. The disadvantages of such a scheme: wasted space (not serious here, could be serious in other applications) Essence of OOP

The disadvantages of such a scheme: wasted space (not serious here, could be serious in other applications); we have to be very careful to keep our program consistent: there is no help from the compiler, we must just describe our convention and try to stick to it.

  48. type Value = record% An integer value: val : int% the value end ; typeUnOp = record % A unary operator: op : int; % the operator opnd : ? % the operand end ; typeBinOp = record% A binary operator: op :int; % the operator opnd1 : ? ; % the left operand opnd2 : ? % the right operand end Notice that the operand of a unary operator might be a Value, a UnOp, or a BinOp ! The second approach is to have a facility for declaring a discriminated union type (C), a.k.a. a record with variants (Pascal). The idea is that one can declare that various groups of fields are alternatives, i.e., can never occur together. There is also a tag field that can be used to indicate which of the alternatives is the right one. Essence of OOP

For example, in Pascal: type Exp = record case arity : intof 0 : (val : int ); 1 : (op : int, opnd : ExpP ) 2 : (op : int, opnd1, opnd2 : ExpP ) end
