  2. Instance variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instance_variable

    An instance variable is a variable which is declared in a class but outside of constructors, methods, or blocks. Instance variables are created when an object is instantiated, and are accessible to all the constructors, methods, or blocks in the class. Access modifiers can be given to the instance variable. An instance variable is not a class ...

  3. Lazy initialization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_initialization

    Mean average program performance may be slightly worse in terms of memory (for the condition variables) and execution cycles (to check them), but the impact of object instantiation is spread in time ("amortized") rather than concentrated in the startup phase of a system, and thus median response times can be greatly improved.

  5. Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming

    Instance variables or attributes – data that belongs to individual objects; every object has its own copy of each one. All 4 variables mentioned above (first_name, position etc) are instance variables. Member variables – refers to both the class and instance variables that are defined by a particular class.

  6. this (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_(computer_programming)

    In some languages, for example C++, Java, and Raku this or self is a keyword, and the variable automatically exists in instance methods. In others, for example, Python, Rust, and Perl 5, the first parameter of an instance method is such a reference. It needs to be specified explicitly.

  7. Class (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_(computer_programming)

    In object-oriented programming, a class defines the shared aspects of objects created from the class. The capabilities of a class differ between programming languages, but generally the shared aspects consist of state and behavior that are each either associated with a particular object or with all objects of that class.

  8. Initialization (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initialization_(programming)

    A section of code that performs such initialization is generally known as "initialization code" and may include other, one-time-only, functions such as opening files; in object-oriented programming, initialization code may be part of a constructor (class method) or an initializer (instance method).

  9. Singleton pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singleton_pattern

    In object-oriented programming, the singleton pattern is a software design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to a singular instance. It is one of the well-known "Gang of Four" design patterns , which describe how to solve recurring problems in object-oriented software. [ 1 ]
