Concepts of Object in Java

Objects in software are implemented by representing the characteristics and behavior of real-world objects. Characteristics are implemented as member variables that make up an object's state, while behavior is implemented through member functions called methods. Data and methods are encapsulated into a single unit with a unique name to give it an identity. Encapsulation combines data and the functions that operate on that data into one unit, implementing abstraction by hiding background details and representing only essential features.

How are objects implemented in software terms ?


SOLUTION.

The object is implemented in software terms as follows:

(i) Characteristics / attributes are implemented through member variables or data items of the object. (ii) Behaviour is implemented through member functions called methods. (iii) Data and methods are encapsulated into one unit and given a unique name to give it identity.
