Object-Oriented Programming OOP

Recommended Posts

Type defines the properties\functions\events\etc of an object - like a blueprint.

But an object is an instance of the Type - like a house.

 

Maybe another analogy will help here ...

 

tsdata.trading.Order == 'Human'

MyOrder == 'Mark'

 

So MyOrder is an instance of Type tsdata.trading.Order

just as 'Mark' is an instance of Type 'Human'

 

So therefore you can call 'MyOrder.Cancel'

just like you can call 'Mark.Walk'

 

But 'Human.Walk' doesn't make sense because 'Human' is just a definition. 'Mark' is the instance of that definition. Thats why you can call 'tsdata.trading.Order.Cancel'

Good explanation. The part about "Human.Walk" makes sense to me. The category 'Human' is to broad, and not specific to one 'instance'. The only way that "Human.Walk" would work, is if it forced all humans on the entire planet to walk. But that wouldn't be very beneficial. It would be like giving the order, All_TL_Members.Post That would be a nightmare. LOL It's better to use: MMS.Post Then we can make some progress. :rofl:

 

tsdata.trading.Order.Cancel would need to cancel every single order. There could be OrderOne, OrderTwo, OrderFutures, OrderStocks, etc. There might be times when you might want to cancel all orders, but you would want a specific command for that. It's important to be able to control one specific instance of something, so there needs to be a way to label and refer to that specific instance.

Yup that is essentially Object Oriented Programming ... the Objects are the individual instances of a Class. You never really 'control' all the instances of a Class (Human) just the individual instances of the class (Mark)

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
