MODULE-1

1.What is Object Orienta on? Explain its aspects with examples. Explain Object Oriented themes.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
OOP is a programming paradigm based on "objects" that contain data (a ributes) and code (methods).
Key Aspects of OOP:
 Encapsula on: Bundling data and methods within a single unit (object), protec ng it from unauthorized access.
o Example: A Car object with a ributes like color, speed, and methods like accelerate(), brake(). The internal
engine details are hidden.
 Abstrac on: Hiding complex details, showing only the necessary parts.
o Example: Driving a car involves using the steering wheel and pedals without knowing the engine’s mechanics.
 Inheritance: Crea ng new classes from exis ng ones, reusing code.
o Example: A SportsCar inherits from Car and adds specific features like ac vateTurbo().
 Polymorphism: Objects can take many forms, allowing methods to be used differently based on the object.
o Example: Both Car and Bicycle have a move() method but with different implementa ons.
Object-Oriented Themes:
 Objects: Represent real-world en es.
 Classes: Blueprints for objects.
 Messages: Objects communicate by invoking each other’s methods.
2. Explain the Modeling concept and class model of a windowing system.
A windowing system manages the graphical user interface (GUI) of a computer, allowing users to interact with
mul ple applica ons simultaneously through windows.
Modeling Concept: The core concept is represen ng each window as an object with specific proper es and
behaviors.
Class Model (Simplified):
● Window (Abstract Class):
○ A ributes: width, height, posi on (x, y), tle, isVisible
○ Methods: open(), close(), resize(), move(), draw()
● Applica onWindow (Subclass of Window): Represents a window belonging to an applica on.
○ A ributes: applica onName
○ Methods: runApplica on()
● DialogBox (Subclass of Window): A pop-up window for user input or displaying informa on.
○ A ributes: message, bu ons
○ Methods: showModal(), getResponse()
● Bu on (Component): A GUI element within a window.
○ A ributes: label, onClickAc on
○ Methods: click() Rela onships: A Window can contain mul ple Bu on objects (composi on)
3. Explain all the models used in OOMD.

vi) Communica on Diagrams (Collabora on Diagrams): Similar to sequence diagrams but focus on the structural
organiza on of the objects that send and receive messages.
vii) Component Diagrams: Show the physical components of a system and their dependencies.
viii) Deployment Diagrams: Illustrate the physical deployment of so ware components on hardware.

5. Explain (i) Link and associa on (ii) Mul plicity (iii) Visibility
(i) Link and Associa on:
 Link: A link represents a connec on between two object instances. It is the actual rela onship at the instance level.
o Example: If Car1 is an instance of Car and Person1 is an instance of Person, a link may represent that Person1
owns Car1.
  Associa on: An associa on is a rela onship between two or more classes, represen ng how objects of these classes
are connected at a conceptual level.
o Example: An associa on between Car and Person classes could be "owns," indica ng that a person can own
a car.
(ii) Mul plicity:
 Mul plicity defines how many instances of a class can be associated with a single instance of another class. It
specifies the numerical constraints on the rela onships.
o Example:
 One-to-One: A Person has exactly one Passport.
 One-to-Many: A Company has many Employees.
 Many-to-Many: A Student can enroll in many Courses, and each Course can have many Students.
(iii) Visibility:
 Visibility defines the accessibility of a ributes and methods of a class from other classes. It controls how much of a
class is exposed to other parts of the system.
o Types:
 Public (+): The member is accessible from any class.
 Private (-): The member is accessible only within its own class.
 Protected (#): The member is accessible within its own class and subclasses.
o Example:
 A BankAccount class might have balance as a private a ribute (-balance), while a getBalance()
method could be public (+getBalance()).

6. What is generaliza on? Explain with example

Generaliza on is the process of extrac ng common characteris cs from mul ple classes to
create a more general superclass. It represents an "is-a" rela onship (inheritance).
Example:
Consider classes Car, Truck, and Motorcycle. They all share common characteris cs like having
wheels, an engine, and the ability to move. We can generalize these common characteris cs into
a superclass called Vehicle.
● Vehicle (Superclass):
○ A ributes: numberOfWheels, engineType
○ Methods: move(), stop()
● Car (Subclass): Inherits from Vehicle and adds specific a ributes like numberOfDoors.
● Truck (Subclass): Inherits from Vehicle and adds specific a ributes like cargoCapacity.
● Motorcycle (Subclass): Inherits from Vehicle and adds specific a ributes like hasSidecar.

In this example, Car, Truck, and Motorcycle are specializa ons of the more general Vehicle
class. This demonstrates the "is-a" rela onship: a Car is a Vehicle, a Truck is a Vehicle, and a
Motorcycle is a Vehicle.
7. Explain aggrega on and composi on with suitable examples
Aggrega on:
 Defini on: Aggrega on is a type of associa on that represents a "whole-part" rela onship where the part can exist
independently of the whole.
 Characteris cs:
o It is a weaker rela onship.
o The part can exist without the whole.
 Example:
o Classroom and Students:
 A Classroom object may have many Student objects, but Students can exist even if the Classroom
object is destroyed.
class Student { String name; }
class Classroom { List<Student> students; }
Composi on:
 Defini on: Composi on is a stronger form of aggrega on where the part is strongly dependent on the whole. If the
whole is destroyed, the part also ceases to exist.
 Characteris cs:
o It is a stronger rela onship.
o The part cannot exist without the whole.
 Example:
o Library and Books:
 A Library contains Books. If the Library is destroyed, the Books are also destroyed.
class Book { String tle; }
class Library { List<Book> books; Library()
{ books = new ArrayList<>(); } }
8.What is a use case diagram? Men on its uses. Draw and explain a use case diagram of an order entry subsystem
for RMD and all use cases involving the customer actor.
 9. What are use cases and actors? Explain a use case diagram of an order entry subsystem.
Use Cases and Actors in OOMD
 Use Cases: A use case represents a specific func onality or behavior of a system that provides value to an actor. It
describes the interac ons between the user (or external system) and the system to achieve a goal.
 Actors: Actors are en es (users or external systems) that interact with the system. They can be primary actors
(ini a ng the interac on) or secondary actors (suppor ng the interac on).
Use Case Diagram for an Order Entry Subsystem
Descrip on: The order entry subsystem allows customers to place orders, and the system processes these
orders with interac ons involving customers, warehouse staff, and the payment system.
Key Use Cases:
 Place Order: A customer selects products and places an order.
 Process Payment: The system interacts with the payment gateway to process payments.
 Check Order Status: A customer checks the status of their order.
 Manage Inventory: Warehouse staff update inventory based on orders.
 Generate Invoice: The system generates an invoice for the order.
Key Actors:
 Customer: Ini ates the order process and checks order status.
 Warehouse Staff: Manages inventory related to orders.
 Payment System: External system that handles payment transac on

10.Explain (i) Nested and concurrent states (ii) Intermediate use desc (iii) Detailed vs alternate nota on
(i) Nested and Concurrent States
Nested States: States within states, represen ng a hierarchy.
Example: In a Document, Edi ng state has nested states Wri ng and Reviewing.
Concurrent States: Parallel states where an object can be in mul ple states at once.
Example: A Printer can be in Prin ng and Monitoring states simultaneously.
(ii) Intermediate Use Descrip on
Describes a use case with moderate detail, covering the main flow without exhaus ve detail on alternate
flows.
Example: For Place Order, it includes selec ng items and checking out but skips error handling details.
(iii) Detailed vs Alternate Nota on
Detailed Nota on: Comprehensive, covering main flow, alternate flows, and excep ons.
Example: Login includes all possible steps and outcomes.
Alternate Nota on: Focuses on varia ons from the main flow.
Example: Login focuses on the password reset scenario.
 11. What is the use of a system sequence diagram? Explain SSD nota on with a neat sample system sequence
diagram.
System Sequence Diagram (SSD)
 Purpose: Visualize interac ons between external actors and the system as a black box, focusing on events crossing
the system boundary.
 Uses:
o Understanding system behavior: Clarifies the sequence of events and system responses.
o Requirements analysis: Iden fies system opera ons and parameters.
o Communica on: Provides a clear view of system-environment interac ons.
SSD Nota on
 Actor: S ck figure represen ng an en ty outside the system (e.g., user).
 System: Ver cal rectangle (lifeline) represen ng the system.
 Messages: Arrows between actor and system lifeline indica ng message flow (s mulus or response).
 Ac va on Bar: Ver cal rectangle on lifeline indica ng object's ac ve period.
Sample SSD: Place Order

 Explana on:
1. Customer (Actor) sends a "Place Order" message to the System.
2. System responds with an "Order Confirmed" message to the Customer.
This simple diagram illustrates a basic order placement interac on.
12. Explain generic and repea ng message nota ons of a system sequence diagram with suitable examples.

 Generic Message: Represents a single interaction with varying parameters or forms.

o Example: requestData({param1, param2})
 Repeating Message: Represents a message sent multiple times, often within a loop.
o Notation:
 Asterisk (*) before the message name (e.g., *addItem(item))
 Loop frame around the repeating messages.

Example: Adding Multiple Items to an Order

Using Asterisk:

Actor: Customer System: Order Entry System

| |
| placeOrder() |-------->
| |
| *addItem(item) |-------->
| |
| confirmOrder() |-------->
| |
Using Loop Frame:

Actor: Customer System: Order Entry System

| |
| placeOrder() |-------->
| |
| Loop for each item |
| addItem(item) |-------->
| |
| confirmOrder() |-------->
| |

Both notations clearly indicate that the addItem(item) message is sent repeatedly for each item added to the order.

13. Explain a system sequence diagram based on an ac vity diagram

A system sequence diagram (SSD) can be derived from an ac vity diagram. The ac vity
diagram shows the flow of ac vi es within a process, including decision points and parallel
ac vi es. The SSD then focuses on the interac ons between the actors and the system for each
ac vity that involves system interac on.
Process:
1. Create an Ac vity Diagram: Model the business process or use case using an ac vity
diagram. Iden fy the ac vi es that involve interac ons with the system.
2. Iden fy Actors and System: Determine the actors who ini ate the interac ons and the
system being interacted with.
3. Create the SSD: For each ac vity in the ac vity diagram that involves system interac on:
○ The actor ini ates the interac on with a message to the system.
○ The system performs some processing (this is a black box view in SSD).
○ The system may send a response back to the actor.

14. What is a state chart diagram? Explain the steps involving developing state chart diagrams.
A state chart diagram (also known as a state diagram or state machine diagram) describes the
different states an object can be in and the transi ons between those states triggered by events.
Steps for Developing State Chart Diagrams:
1. Iden fy the Object: Determine the object whose behavior you want to model.
2. Iden fy States: Determine the dis nct states the object can be in. A state represents a
period of me during which the object is in a specific condi on or performing a specific
ac vity.
3. Iden fy Events: Determine the events that can cause the object to transi on from one state
to another.
4. Draw the Diagram:
○ Represent each state as a rounded rectangle.
○ Represent transi ons between states as directed arrows.
○ Label each transi on with the event that triggers it.
○ Op onally, include guard condi ons (condi ons that must be true for the transi on to
occur) and ac ons (ac vi es performed during the transi on).
5. Refine the Diagram: Review and refine the diagram to ensure it accurately reflects the
object's behavior. Consider edge cases and error condi ons.
 15. Explain the necessary steps for developing an order item state chart.

16. Explain the so ware development stages in detail

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

The SDLC is a systematic approach to software development, encompassing the following key stages:

1. Requirements Engineering: Gathering, analyzing, and documenting user needs and system requirements.
2. Design: Creating a blueprint of the software, including architectural and detailed designs, outlining system components and
their interactions.
3. Implementation: Translating the design into code, conducting unit testing to ensure individual components function
correctly.
 4. Verification & Validation: Rigorously testing the software at various levels (integration, system, user acceptance) to identify
and rectify defects.
5. Deployment: Releasing the software to the production environment, including installation, configuration, and initial user
support.
6. Maintenance: Ongoing activities such as bug fixes, enhancements, and adaptations to ensure the software continues to
meet user needs and remain operational.

Key Considerations:

 SDLC Models: Different models exist (e.g., Waterfall, Agile) with varying emphasis on stages and flexibility.
 Continuous Improvement: The SDLC is an iterative process with continuous feedback and improvement loops.
 Quality Assurance: Quality assurance practices are integrated throughout the SDLC to ensure software meets defined
standards.

17. Explain the waterfall model and itera ve model life cycles.
Concept: A linear, sequen al approach where each phase must be completed before moving to the next.
Phases:
 Requirement Gathering and analysis − All possible requirements of the system to be developed are captured in this
phase and documented in a requirement specifica on document.
 System Design − The requirement specifica ons from first phase are studied in this phase and the system design is
prepared. This system design helps in specifying hardware and system requirements and helps in defining the overall
system architecture.
 Implementa on − With inputs from the system design, the system is first developed in small programs called units,
which are integrated in the next phase. Each unit is developed and tested for its func onality, which is referred to as
Unit Tes ng.
 Integra on and Tes ng − All the units developed in the implementa on phase are integrated into a system a er
tes ng of each unit. Post integra on the en re system is tested for any faults and failures.
 Deployment of system − Once the func onal and non-func onal tes ng is done; the product is deployed in the
customer environment or released into the market.
 Maintenance − There are some issues which come up in the client environment. To fix those issues, patches are
released. Also to enhance the product some be er versions are released. Maintenance is done to deliver these
changes in the customer environment.

Advantages: Simple to understand and manage, well-defined phases, suitable for smaller projects with well-defined
requirements.
Disadvantages: Inflexible, difficult to accommodate changes mid-project, high risk of failure if requirements are not
fully understood upfront.
 Itera ve life cycle-
Concept: Development is broken down into smaller cycles or itera ons. Each itera on produces a working version
of the so ware with increasing func onality.
Phases:
 Planning: Define the scope and objec ves of the itera on.
 Design & Implementa on: Develop and test the so ware components for the current itera on.
 Evalua on: Evaluate the completed itera on, gather feedback, and plan for the next itera on.

Advantages:

 Flexibility to accommodate changing requirements.

 Continuous delivery of working software.
 Improved customer satisfaction.

Disadvantages:

 Requires careful planning and management.

 May require more resources than the Waterfall model.

18. Describe different ways of finding new system concepts.

 Brainstorming: Genera ng a large number of ideas in a group se ng.

 Problem Analysis: Iden fying exis ng problems and exploring poten al solu ons through new systems.
 Market Research: Studying market trends, compe tor analysis, and customer needs to iden fy
opportuni es for new systems.
 Technology Scou ng: Monitoring emerging technologies and assessing their poten al applica ons.
 User Feedback: Gathering feedback from exis ng users to iden fy areas for improvement or new features.
 Compe ve Analysis: Analyzing compe tors' products and services to iden fy opportuni es for
differen a on.
 Scenario Planning: Developing different scenarios of future events and exploring how systems could
address them.
 Prototyping: Crea ng early prototypes to test and refine ideas.
19. Explain the classes for the ATM system. What are the criteria to select the right classes? Explain.
A simplified set of classes for an ATM system could include:
● ATM: Represents the ATM machine itself.
● Customer: Represents the bank customer.
● Account: Represents a customer's bank account (checking, savings, etc.).
● Transac on: Represents a financial transac on (withdrawal, deposit, balance inquiry).
● Bank: Represents the bank that owns the ATM and manages the accounts.
● Card: Represents the customer's ATM card.
Criteria for Selec ng the Right Classes:
● Relevance: Classes should represent concepts relevant to the problem domain (the ATM
system).
● Responsibility: Each class should have a well-defined set of responsibili es.
● Cohesion: A ributes and methods within a class should be closely related to each other.
● Coupling: Classes should have minimal dependencies on each other.
● Abstrac on: Classes should represent essen al informa on and hide unnecessary details.
Example of Class Responsibili es:
● ATM: Handles user interac on, dispenses cash, communicates with the bank.
● Customer: Holds customer informa on (name, ID).
● Account: Manages account balance, processes transac ons.
● Transac on: Records transac on details (type, amount, date)
20. Explain an overview of domain analysis.
Domain analysis is the process of systema cally examining a specific area of knowledge or exper se to iden fy
commonali es and varia ons across different so ware systems within that domain.
Key Ac vi es in Domain Analysis:
● Domain Defini on: Clearly define the scope and boundaries of the domain.
● Informa on Gathering: Collect informa on from various sources, such as domain experts,
exis ng systems, documents, and literature.
● Concept Iden fica on: Iden fy key concepts and terms within the domain.
● Model Crea on: Develop models to represent the domain knowledge, such as class diagrams,
use case diagrams, and domain glossaries.
● Model Valida on: Review and validate the models with domain experts to ensure accuracy
and completeness.
Benefits of Domain Analysis:
● Improved communica on between stakeholders.
● Increased reusability of so ware ar facts.
● Reduced development me and cost.
● Higher quality so ware.
 21. Explain an overview of object-oriented programs with a neat diagram.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
OOP is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects," which encapsulate data (a ributes) and
methods (func ons) that operate on that data.
Key Concepts:
 Objects: Instances of classes, represen ng real-world en es.
 Classes: Blueprints for crea ng objects, defining their a ributes and methods.
 Inheritance: Enables code reusability by allowing new classes to inherit proper es from exis ng classes.
 Encapsula on: Bundles data and methods within an object, hiding internal details.
 Polymorphism: Allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common type.
Benefits:
 Modularity: Breaks down complex problems into smaller, manageable units.
 Reusability: Enhances code reuse, improving efficiency.
 Maintainability: Enhances code maintainability and reduces complexity.

OOMD Process:
1. Iden fy Objects and Classes: Analyze the problem domain to iden fy real-world en es and their rela onships.
2. Define A ributes and Methods: Determine the data (a ributes) and opera ons (methods) associated with each
class.
3. Establish Rela onships: Define rela onships between classes, such as inheritance, associa on, and aggrega on.
4. Create Class Diagrams: Use UML (Unified Modeling Language) to visually represent the classes, their a ributes,
methods, and rela onships.
5. Design Object Interac ons: Model how objects interact with each other to achieve the desired system behavior.
22. Describe the object-oriented design models.
Class Model:
Focus: Represents the sta c structure of the system by defining classes, their a ributes, and the rela onships
between them.
 Key Diagrams: Class diagrams (using UML) are the primary tool, illustra ng classes, inheritance, associa ons,
aggrega ons, and other rela onships.
State Model:
Focus: Describes the life cycle and behavior of objects over me, including their possible states and the
transi ons between those states.
Key Diagrams: State diagrams (using UML) are used to visualize the different states of an object and the events
that trigger transi ons between them.
Interac on Model:
Focus: Represents the dynamic behavior of the system by showing how objects interact and collaborate to
achieve specific goals.
Key Diagrams:
Sequence diagrams: Illustrate the chronological order of message exchanges between objects.
Collabora on diagrams: Emphasize the roles and responsibili es of objects within a specific interac on.
Ac vity diagrams: Depict the flow of control and data within a system or a par cular use case.

23. Explain
(i) implementa on issues for 3-layer design

(ii) Steps in OOD process

 Iden fy Objects: Determine the key objects and their rela onships within the system.
 Define A ributes: Determine the data (a ributes) that each object needs to maintain.
 Define Methods: Determine the opera ons (methods) that each object can perform.
 Establish Rela onships: Define rela onships between objects (inheritance, associa on, aggrega on).
 Create Class Diagrams: Use UML to visually represent classes, a ributes, methods, and rela onships.
(iii) principles of OOD

 Abstrac on: Focusing on essen al aspects of an object while hiding unnecessary details.
 Encapsula on: Bundling data (a ributes) and methods that operate on that data within an object, hiding the
internal implementa on details.
 Inheritance: Enabling code reusability by allowing new classes to inherit proper es and behaviors from
exis ng classes.
 Polymorphism: The ability of objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common type, allowing
for flexibility and extensibility.
 (iv) use case controller
Purpose: In a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, the controller acts as an intermediary between the user
interface (View) and the business logic (Model).
Responsibili es:
 Handles user input (e.g., bu on clicks, form submissions).
 Interprets user input and translates it into commands for the Model.
 Retrieves data from the Model.
 Updates the View with the latest data.
 Manages the overall applica on flow.
24. Explain the responsibili es of class objects with the lookup item availability use case & 25. Explain the
responsibili es of class objects with the lookup item availability use case. Illustrate four types of standard design
classes.
Responsibili es of Class Objects in "Lookup Item Availability" Use Case
In a "Lookup Item Availability" use case, common class objects and their responsibili es might include:
 Item Class:
o Responsibili es:
 Store item informa on (e.g., item ID, name, descrip on, price, quan ty).
 Provide methods to get and set item a ributes.
 Poten ally, a method to check if the item is currently in stock (based on quan ty).
 Inventory Class:
o Responsibili es:
 Maintain a collec on of Item objects.
 Provide methods to:
 Add new items to the inventory.
 Update item quan es.
 Remove items from the inventory.
 Search for items by ID, name, or other criteria.
 Check item availability (determine if the quan ty of a specific item is greater than zero).
 User Interface Class:
o Responsibili es:
 Provide a user interface (e.g., GUI, console) for the user to interact with.
 Allow the user to input search criteria (e.g., item ID, name).
 Display the search results to the user (e.g., item details, availability status).
 Database Class (if applicable):
o Responsibili es:
 Interact with the underlying database to store and retrieve item informa on.
 Provide methods to:
 Persist Item objects to the database.
 Retrieve Item objects from the database.
  Update item informa on in the database.
Four Types of Standard Design Classes
1. En ty Class: Represents real-world objects or concepts (e.g., Item, Customer, Order). These classes typically have
a ributes that represent the object's proper es and methods to access and modify those proper es.
2. Boundary Class: Represents the interface between the system and external en es (e.g., User Interface, Database).
These classes handle the interac on with external systems or devices.
3. Control Class: Coordinates and controls the flow of ac vi es within the system. In the "Lookup Item Availability" use
case, a Control Class could manage the search process, interact with the Inventory class, and display the results to
the User Interface.
4. Interface Class: Defines a contract for a set of classes, specifying the methods that they must implement. This
promotes loose coupling and allows for more flexibility in system design.

26. What are the symbols used in communica on diagrams? Explain a communica on diagram for lookup item
availability.
Communica on diagrams (also known as collabora on diagrams) show the interac ons between objects, similar to
sequence diagrams, but they emphasize the structural organiza on of the objects.
Symbols used in communica on diagram-
 Objects: Represented by rectangles with the object name inside.
 Links: Lines connec ng objects, indica ng a rela onship or communica on path.
 Messages: Arrows indica ng the flow of messages between objects.
 Message Labels: Text on the arrows specifying the message name and op onal parameters.
 Sequence Numbers: Numbers on the messages indica ng the order of message exchange.

Explana on:
1. UserInterface sends a requestItemLookup(itemID) message to the LookupController.
2. LookupController calls the findItemByID(itemID) method on the Inventory object.
3. Inventory searches for the item with the given itemID and returns the Item object to the LookupController.
4. LookupController receives the Item object and sends it to the UserInterface for display.
5. UserInterface displays the item availability informa on to the user.

27. List and explain the primary responsibility of view layer classes, domain layer classes, and data access layer classes.
 View Layer: Responsible for user interface presenta on and interac on. It handles user input, displays informa on,
and validates user input. This layer should remain independent of the underlying business logic or data access
mechanisms.
 Domain Layer: Encapsulates the core business rules and logic of the applica on. It represents the domain objects
and their rela onships, defining how data is processed and manipulated within the applica on. This layer should be
technology-agnos c, focusing solely on the business domain.
 Data Access Layer: Handles all interac ons with the underlying data storage mechanisms (databases, files, etc.). It
abstracts away the details of data access, allowing the domain layer to remain independent of the specific data
storage technology. This layer is responsible for retrieving, storing, and upda ng data.

28. What is a design pa ern? Explain four essen al elements of a design pa ern. Also explain how to select and use a
design pa ern.
A design pa ern is a reusable solu on to a commonly occurring problem within a given context in so ware design.
It's not a finished design that can be directly translated into code, but rather a descrip on or template for how to
solve a par cular problem that can be applied in many different situa ons.
Four Essen al Elements of a Design Pa ern:
1. Pa ern Name: A meaningful name that concisely describes the pa ern's essence (e.g., Singleton, Observer, Factory
Method).
2. Problem: Describes the general design problem that the pa ern addresses. It outlines the context in which the
pa ern is applicable.
3. Solu on: Provides a general descrip on of the solu on, including the par cipa ng classes and objects, their
responsibili es, and their interac ons.
4. Consequences: Describes the trade-offs and implica ons of using the pa ern. This includes benefits (e.g., increased
flexibility, improved maintainability) and poten al drawbacks (e.g., increased complexity).
Selec ng and Using a Design Pa ern
1. Iden fy the Problem: Carefully analyze the specific design problem you are facing.
2. Research Poten al Pa erns: Explore exis ng design pa erns that address similar problems. Consult design pa ern
catalogs (like the "Gang of Four" book) or online resources.
3. Choose the Appropriate Pa ern: Assess whether the poten al pa erns are suitable for your specific context and
requirements. Consider the trade-offs and consequences of using each pa ern.
4. Adapt and Implement: Adapt the chosen pa ern to your specific needs. Don't blindly apply a pa ern without
considering the unique characteris cs of your system.
5. Refactor and Improve: Con nuously evaluate and refine your implementa on to ensure that the chosen pa ern is
effec vely addressing the design problem and that it aligns with the overall system architecture.
29. List any five design problems and explain how design pa erns solve them.
Five Design Problems & OOMD Solu ons
1. Object Crea on:
o Problem: Tight coupling when crea ng objects of various classes.
o Solu on: Factory Method: Decouples object crea on from the client code.
2. Managing Complex Object Structures:
o Problem: Difficul es in handling large numbers of related objects.
o Solu on: Composite: Treats individual objects and composi ons of objects uniformly.
3. Loose Coupling:
 o Problem: Tight coupling hinders system flexibility and maintainability.
o Solu on: Observer: Enables one-to-many dependencies, allowing objects to be no fied of changes in others.
4. Algorithm Varia ons:
o Problem: Implemen ng different algorithm varia ons leads to code duplica on.
o Solu on: Strategy: Encapsulates algorithms, making them interchangeable.
5. Interfacing with Complex Subsystems:
o Problem: Dealing with complex interfaces of subsystems.
o Solu on: Facade: Provides a simplified interface to a complex subsystem.
30. Explain the consequences of
(i) Singleton

 Posi ve Consequences: Ensures a single instance, provides a global access point.

 Nega ve Consequences: Can violate the single responsibility principle, can make tes ng difficult can lead to ght
coupling.
(ii) Prototype Pa ern

 Posi ve Consequences: Avoids the need for subclassing to create new objects, allows crea ng objects
without knowing their concrete classes, can be more efficient than using new in some cases.
 Nega ve Consequences: Each subclass of Prototype must implement the clone() opera on. Cloning
complex objects can be complex.
 (iiI) Adapter

 Posi ve Consequences: Allows reusing exis ng classes with incompa ble interfaces, increases class
reusability.
 Nega ve Consequences: Can introduce an extra level of indirec on, may require crea ng new
classes.
31. Explain the applicability and structure of the Proxy pa ern.
Applicability:
 Remote Proxy: Provides a local representa ve for an object residing in a different address space.
 Virtual Proxy: Creates expensive objects on demand (lazy loading).
 Protec on Proxy: Controls access to an object, allowing or denying requests based on certain criteria.
 Smart Proxy: Adds extra func onality to an object, such as caching, logging, or compression.
Structure:
 Subject: Defines the common interface for both the RealSubject and the Proxy.
 RealSubject: The actual object that the Proxy represents.
 Proxy: Holds a reference to the RealSubject and implements the Subject interface. It intercepts requests from the
client and forwards them to the RealSubject a er performing any necessary ac ons (e.g., checking permissions,
caching).
The Proxy pattern provides a level of indirection, allowing you to control access to an object and add extra functionality without modifying
the original object.

32. Explain the applicability, benefits, and liabili es of the Abstract Factory pa ern.
Applicability:

 When a system should be independent of how its products are created, composed, and represented.

 When you want to provide a 1 way to configure a family of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete
classes.

 When you need to provide a set of default objects.

Benefits:
 Increased Flexibility: Easily switch between product families by changing the concrete factory.

 Improved Code Reusability: Encapsulates object crea on logic, making it easier to reuse and maintain.

 Enhanced Code Maintainability: Changes to the concrete classes do not affect the client code directly.

 Improved Consistency: Ensures that only compa ble objects are used together within a product family.
Liabili es:

 Introducing Complexity: Can add complexity to the system, especially for simpler applica ons.

 Difficult to Introduce New Products: Adding new types of products to the exis ng product family can be challenging.
Example:
Consider a UI toolkit with different look-and-feel op ons (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux).

 Abstract Factory: GUIFactory (interface)

 Concrete Factories: WindowsFactory, MacOSFactory, LinuxFactory

 Abstract Products: Bu on, TextField, Window

 Concrete Products: WindowsBu on, MacOSBu on, LinuxBu on, etc.

The client code interacts with the GUIFactory to obtain instances of Bu on, TextField, etc., without knowing the specific concrete
classes being created. This allows the applica on to easily switch between different UI look-and-feels by simply changing the concrete
factory.

33. Write a short note on:

i) Crea onal Pa erns
Crea onal Pa erns focus on how objects are created. They provide flexible and reusable mechanisms for object instan a on,
decoupling the client code from the concrete classes being created.
Key pa erns include:

 Factory Method: Decouples object crea on, allowing subclasses to decide which class to instan ate.

 Abstract Factory: Creates families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes.

 Singleton: Ensures only one instance of a class exists.

 Builder: Separates object construc on from its representa on, allowing for flexible configura ons.

 Prototype: Creates new objects by copying exis ng ones.

These pa erns enhance flexibility, maintainability, and control in object crea on within OOMD systems.
ii) Structural Pa erns
Structural Pa erns focus on how classes and objects are composed to form larger structures. They address concerns like adap ng
interfaces, simplifying complex subsystems, and defining flexible rela onships between objects.
Key pa erns include:

 Adapter: Adapts the interface of one class to the interface expected by clients.

 Bridge: Decouples an abstrac on from its implementa on.

 Composite: Composes objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies.

 Decorator: Dynamically adds responsibili es to an object.

 Facade: Provides a simplified interface to a complex subsystem.

 Flyweight: Shares common parts of objects to minimize memory usage.

 Proxy: Provides a surrogate or placeholder for another object.

These pa erns help to create flexible and maintainable object-oriented systems by defining clear and adaptable rela onships
between classes and objects.
