Object-Oriented Design and Data Structures · Algorithms and Programming
Inheritance and Polymorphism
Designing class hierarchies that promote code reuse and flexibility. Students implement interfaces and abstract classes to manage complex software systems.
Key Questions
- 1How does abstraction allow developers to change internal logic without breaking external systems?
- 2What are the trade-offs between composition and inheritance in software design?
- 3How does polymorphism simplify the management of diverse object types?
