Pillars of OOP

@techgirl1908

Encapsulation

hide the data

@techgirl1908

public class Person {
    String name;
    int age;
    String gender;
}

@techgirl1908

package profile;

public class Person {
    private String name;
    private int age;
    private String gender;
    
    public String getName(){
        return name;
    }
    
    public void setName(String name){
        this.name = name;
    }
    
    public int getAge(){
        return age;
    }
    
    public void setAge(int age){
        this.age = age;
    }
    
    public String getGender(){
        return gender;
    }
    
    public void setGender(String gender){
        this.gender = gender;
    }
}

Inheritance

extend data and behaviors

package profile;

Polymorphism

Questions

on polymorphism

@techgirl1908

Abstraction

provides templates to be implemented

@techgirl1908

public interface Product {
    BigDecimal getPrice();
    void setPrice(BigDecimal price);

    String getName();
    void setName(String name);
    
    String getColor();
    void setColor(String color);
}

@techgirl1908

public class Book implements Product{
    private BigDecimal price;
    private String name;
    private String color;
    
    public BigDecimal getPrice() {
        return price;
    }
    public void setPrice(BigDecimal price) {
        this.price = price;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public String getColor() {
        return color;
    }
    public void setColor(String color) {
        this.color = color;
    }
}

@techgirl1908

public abstract class ListWidget {
    abstract List<WebElement> getItems();
    int getNumberOfItems(){
        return getItems().size();
    }
}
public class TweetList extends ListWidget{
    private By tweet = 
    	By.cssSelector("div[data-testid='tweet']");

    List<WebElement> getItems() {
        return driver.findElements(tweet);
    }
}
