OOP Concepts: Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Exceptions

Definition of Inheritance

Inheritance is an OOP concept that allows a class (called the child or subclass) to acquire the properties and behaviors (fields and methods) of another class (called the parent or superclass).

  • It promotes code reusability, modularity, and hierarchical classification.
  • The child class can add new features or override existing ones of the parent class.
  • Example Structure:

    class Parent { /* fields and methods */ }

    class Child extends Parent { /* additional fields and methods */ }

C Language Operators, Expressions, and Control Flow

C Operators and Expressions Fundamentals

Understanding C operators and expressions is crucial. This section details the different types of operators, their hierarchy, and expression evaluation rules.

Operators and Expressions Defined

An operator is a symbol that instructs the compiler to perform specific mathematical or logical manipulations. An expression is a combination of operators, constants, and variables that resolves to a single value.

Flip-Flop Tables and Shift Register Configurations

Flip-Flop Characteristic Tables

The Characteristic Table summarizes the behavior of a flip-flop by listing the next state (Qn+1) for all possible combinations of the present state (Qn) and the input(s). It is derived directly from the operating rules of the flip-flop.

Digital Logic Fundamentals: Arithmetic Operations and Boolean Algebra

This covers the core arithmetic operations in digital logic, which are fundamental to how computers process data.
1. Binary Arithmetic
Binary arithmetic uses only the digits 0 and 1. The key difference from decimal arithmetic is that a carry is generated when the sum reaches 2 (which is 10_2).
A. Binary Addition
| Rule | Description |
|—|—|
| 0 + 0 | 0 (Carry 0) |
| 0 + 1 | 1 (Carry 0) |
| 1 + 0 | 1 (Carry 0) |
| 1 + 1 | 0 (Carry 1 to the next position) |
| 1 + 1 + 1 | 1 (Carry 1 to the next position)
