  2. Mutator method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutator_method

    Often a setter is accompanied by a getter, which returns the value of the private member variable. They are also known collectively as accessors . The mutator method is most often used in object-oriented programming , in keeping with the principle of encapsulation .

  3. Lazy initialization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_initialization

    The lazy initialization technique allows us to do this in just O(m) operations, rather than spending O(m+n) operations to first initialize all array cells. The technique is simply to allocate a table V storing the pairs ( k i , v i ) in some arbitrary order, and to write for each i in the cell T [ k i ] the position in V where key k i is stored ...

  4. Property (programming) - Wikipedia

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

    A property, in some object-oriented programming languages, is a special sort of class member, intermediate in functionality between a field (or data member) and a method.The syntax for reading and writing of properties is like for fields, but property reads and writes are (usually) translated to 'getter' and 'setter' method calls.

  5. Method (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Perhaps the most well-known example is C++, an object-oriented extension of the C programming language. Due to the design requirements to add the object-oriented paradigm on to an existing procedural language, message passing in C++ has some unique capabilities and terminologies. For example, in C++ a method is known as a member function.

  6. Constructor (object-oriented programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructor_(object...

    But, unlike C++, Java doesn't create a default copy constructor if you don't write your own. Copy constructors define the actions performed by the compiler when copying class objects. A Copy constructor has one formal parameter that is the type of the class (the parameter may be a reference to an object).

  7. Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming

    Some languages like Go do not support inheritance at all. Go states that it is object-oriented, [37] and Bjarne Stroustrup, author of C++, has stated that it is possible to do OOP without inheritance. [38] The doctrine of composition over inheritance advocates implementing has-a relationships using composition instead of inheritance. For ...

  8. Uniform access principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_access_principle

    The C# language supports class properties, which provide a means to define get and set operations (getters and setters) for a member variable. The syntax to access or modify the property is the same as accessing any other class member variable, but the actual implementation for doing so can be defined as either a simple read/write access or as ...

  9. Class (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    [26] [27] In C++, an abstract class is a class having at least one abstract method given by the appropriate syntax in that language (a pure virtual function in C++ parlance). [25] A class consisting of only pure virtual methods is called a pure abstract base class (or pure ABC) in C++ and is also known as an interface by users of the language. [13]
