This lesson starts a new segment about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) — an important set of concepts critical to understanding any modern software, not just modern embedded software. As usual in ...

Martin Buchwitz is editor of SPS Magazin in Germany. SPS Magazin has concentrated on the topic of engineering of control systems for a few months now, especially on programming. The reason for us ...

I've seen textbook definitions of Information Hiding and Encapsulation in class but I still cannot grasp the concept of it because I can't consider them in examples. Can anyone give their ...

The object-oriented paradigm popularized by languages including Java and C++ has slowly given way to a functional programming approach that is advocated by popular Python libraries and JavaScript ...

One of the most critical aspects of object-oriented programming is encapsulation, which allows one to define labels for the data members and member functions, to specify if they are accessible from ...

From our study of C++, it should be clear that, unlike class encapsulation and single inheritance, which were essentially free in C, polymorphism in C involves some complexity and overhead. In the ...

Know your hardware! That's what it's all about. Using programming guidelines derived from the processor's architecture can dramatically improve performance of C applications. In some cases, it can ...

One of the easiest ways to understand what is meant by ‘object oriented’, is to define what it is not. Before Object Oriented Programming (OOP) programs were written an imperative way, essentially a ...
