Programming with Objects
Object Interaction (Part 1)
Week 9
• Abstraction & modularisation
• The modulo operator
Programming with Objects CONCEPTS COVERED THIS WEEK
• Abstraction is the ability to ignore details of parts to focus attention on a higher level of a problem.
• Modularisation is the process of dividing a whole into a set of well-defined parts, where each part can be built and tested separately, and where each part only interacts with other parts in well-defined ways.
Programming with ObjectsABSTRACTION & MODULARISATION
It is an object that is made up of other objects!
Wheels, Seats, Chassis, Exhaust, Steering Wheel, etc.
This car is a Complex Object
And… a wheel itself is also a complex object!
Tyre, Trim, Hub Cap, etc.

A digital clock
Programming with Objects ABSTRACTION & MODULARISATION
Modularising the clock display
One four-digit display?
Or two two-digit displays?
BlueJ DemonstrationA look at the NumberDisplay class
Programming with Objects Source Code - NumberDisplay
public class NumberDisplay{ private int limit; private int value;
// Constructor and methods // omitted.}
Programming with Objects Source Code - NumberDisplay
public NumberDisplay(int rollOverLimit){ limit = rollOverLimit; value = 0;}
public int getValue(){ return value;}
Programming with Objects Source Code - NumberDisplay
public String getDisplayValue(){ if(value < 10) { return "0" + value; } else { return "" + value; }}
Programming with Objects Source Code - NumberDisplay
public void setValue(int replacementValue){ if((replacementValue >= 0) && (replacementValue < limit)) { value = replacementValue; }}
Modulo (or modulus or mod) operator
• The % operator gives the remainder of a division
• result = 10 % 3;
• assigns a value of 1 to result
• result = 15 % 6;
• result = 19 % 11;
Programming with Objects Source Code - NumberDisplay
public void increment(){ value = (value + 1) % limit;}
