Class is a template that defines common attributes and methods for objects. Objects are instances of classes that hold data. There are several relationships between classes including association, aggregation, and composition. Abstraction extracts essential details from data while ignoring unwanted details. Encapsulation restricts visibility of attributes and methods and hides implementation details. Polymorphism allows identical methods to behave differently in different classes through an interface. Inheritance derives new classes from existing classes and allows inheriting data and methods. Overriding changes functionality of inherited methods while overloading changes method signatures. Friends give access to protected and private attributes between classes. Narrowing and widening casts change the view of an object between more and less specific classes.

Class- A Class is a template of objects which can handle more than one characteristics .

It has attributes and


methods.

Objects- Object is an real time entity in the world. It is the instances on classes and hold some data.

Association-   Relating two classes or relation between two classes is called as Association.

Aggregation- One class using the instances on other class is know as Aggregation.

Composition- when one class data is related or will affect  other class data is known as composition. Eg:
when one class data is deleted the data pertaining to that in another class will be deleted.

Abstraction- Extracting the essential details or data while ignoring the unwanted data.

Encapsulation( known as information hiding)-

 Restricts the visibility of attributes and methods t.


 Every object has an interface which shows how the objects interact with each other.
 Implementation part is hidden so that the process of interaction between the objects is made
invisible to others.

Polymorphism-

 Identical methods behave differently in different classes.


 With the help of an interface it enables to address methods with same name to different objects.
 The signature or the definition of the method is always the same but the implementation is different
for different classes.

Inheritance-

 Deriving a new class from the existing class


 Can inherit the data and methods of the super class
 Can overwrite the existing methods and can also add new ones.

Overriding- Overriding allows to change the functionality of the inherited methods. This is also known as the
redefinition. Overriding is not possible for STATIC methods

Overloading-
Overloading allows to change the signature of the inherited methods in the subclasses. ABAP doesn’t
support Overloading.

Only exception is the CONSTRUCTOR method. Since we can create CONSTRUCTOR method in each
subclass, we can change the signature of this method.

Friends-In any Object Oriented programming language, the access to private or protected components –
both methods and attributes – would be prohibited. If someone try to access them, compiler would generate
syntax error.

Sometimes, it would be advantageous to give the access to these protected and private attributes to other
classes. This can be achieved using the FRIENDS addition.

Narrowing Cast (Up Casting)- When we assign the instance of the Subclass back to the instance of the
Superclass, than it is called the “Narrow Casting”, because we are switching from a “More Specific view of
an object” to “less specific view”.
Widening Cast (Down Casting)-When we assign the instance of the Superclass to the Subclass, than it is
called the Widening Cast, because we are moving to the “More Specific View” from the “Less specific view”.
Due to this reason it is also called the “Down Casting”.
