Abstract class

Clase Abstracta

Basic Term

A class that has no instances. An abstract class is written with the expectation that its concrete subclasses will add to its structure and behaviour, typically by implementing its abstract operations.

Abstract operation

Operación Abstracta

Basic Term

An operation that is declared but not implemented by an abstract class. In C++, an abstract operation is declared as a pure virtual member function.

Abstraction

Abstracción

Basic Term

The essential characteristics of an object that distinguishes it from all other kinds of objects and thus provide crisply-defined conceptual boundaries relative to the perspective of the viewer; the process of focusing upon the essential characteristics of an object. Abstraction is one of the fundamental elements of the object model.

Programación Dirigida a Objetos

Basic Term

A method of implementation in which programs are organized as cooperative collections of objects, each of which represents an instance of some class, and whose classes are all members of a hierarchy of classes united via inheritance relationships. In such programs, classes are generally viewed as static, whereas objects typically have a much more dynamic nature, which is encouraged by the existence of dynamic binding and polymorphism.

Objetive-C

Programming Languages

Objective-C is an object-oriented language based on C; its object support is based on a dynamic message-passing model. Objective-C provides a range of OOP features: inheritance, dynamic method invocation, delegation, metaclasses and dynamic object creation, a form of garbage collection, simple persistence, and a kind of polymorphism. Objective-C does not support multiple inheritance, and concurrency is not part of the language.
