Objects
• When we package state and
procedures together we have
an object
• Programming with objects is
object-oriented programming

make-number
(define make-number
(lambda (n)
(lambda (message)
(cond
((eq? message 'value)
(lambda (self) n))
Why don’t we just use n?
((eq? message 'add)
(Well see why later today.)
(lambda (self other)
(+ (ask self 'value)
(ask other 'value))))))))

ask
Lecture 20:
(define (ask object message)
(object message))
(define (ask object message . args)
(apply (object message) object args))

There are many kinds of numbers…
•
•
•
•
Whole Numbers (0, 1, 2, …)
Integers (-23, 73, 0, …)
Fractions (1/2, 7/8, …)
Floating Point (2.3, 0.0004, 3.14159)
• But they can’t all do the same things
– We can get the denominator of a fraction, but
not of an integer

make-fraction
(define make-fraction
(lambda (numerator denominator)
(lambda (message)
(cond
((eq? message 'value)
(lambda (self) (/ numerator denominator))
((eq? message 'add)
(lambda (self other)
(+ (ask self 'value) (ask other 'value)))
((eq? message ‘get-numerator)
(lambda (self) numerator))
((eq? message ‘get-denominator)
(lambda (self) denominator))
)))))

Same as in
make-number

Why is redefining add a bad thing?
• Cut-and-paste is easy but…
• There could be lots of number methods
(subtract, multiply, print, etc.)
• Making the code bigger makes it harder to
understand
• If we fix a problem in the number add
method, we have to remember to fix the
copy in make-fraction also (and real,
complex, float, etc.)

make-fraction
(define (make-fraction numer denom)
(let ((super (make-number #f)))
(lambda (message)
(cond
((eq? message 'value)
(lambda (self) (/ numer denom)))
((eq? message 'get-denominator)
(lambda (self) denom))
((eq? message 'get-numerator)
(lambda (self) numer))
(else
(super message))))))

Using Fractions
> (define half (make-fraction 1 2))
> (ask half 'value)
1/2
> (ask half 'get-denominator)
2
> (ask half 'add (make-number 1))
3/2
> (ask half 'add half)

Inheritance
Inheritance is using the definition of one
class to make another class
make-fraction uses make-number to
inherit the behaviors of number

• English
A Fraction is a kind of Number.
Number
• C++
Fraction is a derived class whose base
class is Number
• Java
Fraction
Fraction extends Number.
• Eiffel
Fraction inherits from Number.
Note: people
sometimes draw
this different ways
• Beta
Fraction is a subpattern of Number.
• Smalltalk (72)
Didn’t have inheritance!

CS 200:
Number
Fraction inherits from Number.
Fraction is a subclass of Number.
Fraction
The superclass of Fraction is
Number.

Inheritance and Subtyping
• Inheritance: reusing the implementation of
one object to make a new kind of object
• Often confused with subtyping which is
saying one kind of object can be used
where another kind of object is expected
– CS200 won’t cover subtyping (take CS201J)
– We will cover types (Class 29)

PS5
How are commercial databases different
from what you implemented for PS5?
UVa’s Integrated Systems Project to
convert all University information
systems to use an Oracle database was
originally budgeted for $58.2 Million
(starting in 1999). Actual cost is likely
to be $100 Million.

Real Databases
• Atomic Transactions: a transaction may involve many
modifications to database tables, but the changes should only
happen if the whole transaction happens (e.g., don’t charge the
credit card unless the order is sent to the shipping dept)
• Security: limit read/write access to tables,
entries and fields
• Storage: need to efficiently store data on disk,
provide backup mechanisms
• Scale: to support really big data tables,
real databases do lots of clever things

How big are big databases?
• Microsoft TerraServer
– Claimed biggest in 1998
– Aerial photos of entire US (1 meter resolution)

Big Databases
• Microsoft TerraServer
– 3.3 Terabytes (claimed biggest in 1998)
– 1 Terabyte = 240 Bytes ~ 1 Trillion Bytes
• Wal-Mart
– 285 Terabytes
• Stanford Linear Accelerator (BaBar)
– 500 Terabytes (30 KB per particle collision)

Are there class hierarchies
like this in the real world or
just in fictional worlds like
Charlottansville?
