3
Objects & Data Structures
✘ An allocated region of storage.
An object is sometimes called a
member.
✘ A data organization, management,
and storage format that
enables efficient access and
modification.
4
Data / Object Anti-Symmetry
✘ Hide their data behind
abstractions and expose functions
that operate on that data.
✘ Expose their data and have no
meaningful functions.
The Law of Demeter
✘ Principle of least knowledge.
✘ Design guideline for developing
software.
✘ A module should not know about
the innards of the objects it
manipulates.
✘ Talk to friends, not to strangers.
5
Data Transfer Object (DTO)
✘ Is an object that carries data between
processes.
✘ A quintessential form of a data
structure.
✘ A class with public variables and no
functions.
✘ Very useful structures, especially when
communicating with databases or
parsing messages from sockets.
Conclusion
✘ Objects expose behavior and hide data.
✘ Makes it easy to add new kinds of objects without changing existing
behaviors.
✘ Makes it hard to add new behaviors to existing objects.
✘ Expose data and have no significant behavior.
✘ Makes it easy to add new behaviors to existing.
✘ Makes it hard to add new data structures to existing functions.
✘ Make their own decision.
