Time | Narration |
00:01 | Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Object Oriented Concept in Ruby. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn to: |
00:08 | use classes, creating objects |
00:10 | different ways of defining methods in Ruby. |
00:13 | Here we are using: Ubuntu version 12.04 |
00:16 | Ruby 1.9.3 |
00:19 | To follow this tutorial, you must have knowledge of Linux commands, Terminal and Text-editor. |
00:24 | If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website. |
00:28 | Before we begin, recall that we had created a “ttt” directory earlier. |
00:33 | Let's go to that directory. |
00:35 | To ruby hyphen tutorial and classes directory. |
00:41 | Ruby is an object oriented language. |
00:44 | Everything in Ruby is an object; from a value to a string or number. |
00:49 | A class is a collection of related data and functions. |
00:53 | It can serve to keep information organized. |
00:56 | An object is an instantiation of a class. |
01:00 | A class definition begins with the keyword class. |
01:05 | It is followed by the name of the class. |
01:08 | It is delimited with an “end”. |
01:11 | Let us look at an example of a class. |
01:14 | class Product |
01:16 | ruby code, end |
01:20 | The name of the class must begin with a capital letter. |
01:24 | Names that contain more than one word should be camelcased. |
01:28 | For example, |
01:30 | UserInformation |
01:32 | ProductInformation |
01:34 | The subsequent file names will have underscore separating the words: |
01:37 | user underscore information |
01:40 | product underscore information |
01:45 | Create a new file in gedit as shown in the basic level Ruby tutorials. |
01:48 | Name it class_definition.rb |
01:52 | I have a working example of the implementation of classes. |
01:57 | You can pause the tutorial and type the code as we go through it. |
02:02 | I have defined a class named Order in this example. |
02:05 | Now, let us make the class useful by adding some variables. |
02:11 | Then I have defined an instance variable “myinstance”. |
02:15 | And I have assigned a value to it. |
02:18 | I have also defined a class variable “myclassvar” . |
02:21 | And I have assigned a value to it. |
02:24 | Now, let us add some code that will make use of this class. |
02:30 | Type: puts Order dot instance underscore variables |
02:36 | Before this line, add puts some characters slash n for a new line. |
02:43 | Let us copy and paste that and add it just below the line we added and save it. |
02:51 | Now, let us execute this code. |
02:53 | Switch to the terminal and type: |
02:56 | ruby space class underscore definition dot rb |
03:02 | and see the output. |
03:05 | You will see the instance variable you defined. |
03:09 | Now, let us type: puts Order dot class underscore variables |
03:15 | Let us copy and paste the demarcation, just below the line and save it. |
03:21 | Now, let us switch to the terminal and execute the file like before. |
03:26 | You will notice the class variable you defined, also show up. |
03:32 | You should now be able to write your own class. |
03:35 | Next, let us look at what an object is. |
03:40 | An object is an instance of a class. |
03:43 | Which means, an object is created from a class. |
03:46 | An object will have the properties and methods defined in the class. |
03:52 | How do you declare an object? |
03:54 | We declare an object of a class using the "new" keyword. |
03:58 | Here, we are declaring an object of the Product class. |
04:02 | Here, an object gets created. |
04:05 | product = Product.new |
04:09 | This process is called initialization of an object. |
04:12 | This object is of type Product. |
04:16 | Now, let is look at what an “initialize” method is. |
04:20 | An initialize method is called at the time of object creation. |
04:26 | On calling "new" on an object, we invoke the initialize method. |
04:31 | An initialize method may take a list of parameters. |
04:37 | Like other 'Ruby' methods, it is preceded by the “def” keyword. |
04:43 | Let us look at an example. |
04:46 | Create a new file in gedit as shown in the basic level Ruby Tutorials. |
04:50 | And name it object underscore initialize dot rb. |
04:55 | I have a working example of the object initialization code. |
05:00 | You can pause the tutorial and type the code as we go through it. |
05:04 | Here, I have defined a class called “Order” . |
05:08 | Then I have defined the initialize method, with no argument. |
05:13 | I have defined a 'puts' method to display the message: “I have created an object”. |
05:20 | Next, I have defined Order dot new. |
05:24 | This will invoke the initialize method. |
05:27 | Switch to the terminal and type: |
05:31 | ruby space object underscore initialize dot rb |
05:36 | and see the output. |
05:39 | You will see the message: “I have created an object”. |
05:43 | Now, let us go back to gedit and add an argument to the method. |
05:48 | Let us modify the puts. |
05:51 | It should display the value of the argument passed. |
05:55 | Next, let us type: Order dot new(“I have created an object”). |
06:04 | Here, we have given an argument to the "new" method. |
06:08 | This argument gets passed on to the initialize method. |
06:13 | Switch to the terminal and type: |
06:16 | ruby space object underscore initialize dot rb |
06:20 | and see the output. |
06:22 | You will see the message: “I have created an object” printed out. |
06:29 | Now, you would have understood what object initialization means. |
06:33 | Recall that in Ruby, methods are the functions that a class performs. |
06:39 | Each method in a class is defined within the “def” and “end” block. |
06:45 | A multi-word method-name is separated with an underscore. |
06:48 | Some of the characters that can be appended to a method name are: |
06:54 | '?' (question-mark) |
06:56 | '=' (equal to). |
06:58 | Each of the characters add some meaning to the method. |
07:02 | Let us look at some examples. |
07:05 | Create a new file in gedit as shown in the basic level Ruby tutorials. |
07:09 | And name it class underscore methods dot rb. |
07:14 | I have a working example of class methods code. |
07:17 | You can pause the tutorial and type the code as we go through it. |
07:21 | Here, I have defined a class named “Animal”. |
07:23 | Then I have two methods- “breathe” and “walk”. |
07:28 | They are both defined with the “def” and “end” keywords. |
07:32 | I have then initialized the object 'Animal'. |
07:36 | I have assigned it to a variable called “animal” with lowercase “a”. |
07:40 | Then I have invoked the methods “breathe” and “walk” consecutively. |
07:48 | Now, let us execute the program. |
07:51 | Switch to the terminal and type: |
07:53 | ruby space class underscore methods dot rb |
07:58 | and see the output. |
08:00 | You will notice the lines: |
08:02 | “ I breathe” , “I walk” |
08:04 | printed out. This is because you have invoked the two methods “breathe” and “walk”. |
08:10 | A “puts” statement, defined within these methods, gives the results you see. |
08:16 | Next, let us look at how to create methods with a trailing question mark (?). |
08:21 | Create a new file in gedit as shown in the basic level Ruby tutorials. |
08:25 | And name it class underscore methods underscore with underscore trailing underscore characters dot rb. |
08:35 | I have a working example of class methods with question mark code. |
08:40 | You can pause the tutorial and type the code as we go through it. |
08:45 | Here, I have taken the same class as before, as an example. |
08:48 | Here, the "breathe" method has a trailing question mark (?). |
08:52 | Such methods are generally used to return Boolean values. |
08:55 | This is based on the method naming convention of Ruby. |
09:00 | The method gets invoked by declaring animal dot breathe question-mark. |
09:06 | Switch to the terminal and type: |
09:09 | ruby space class underscore methods underscore with underscore trailing underscore characters dot rb and see the output. |
09:22 | You will notice the output as : “true” |
09:26 | Next, let us define another method called “walk”. |
09:30 | Let us place an equal-to sign “=(value)” beside it. |
09:36 | Let us invoke this method by calling animal dot walk. |
09:41 | Then let us execute this method. |
09:44 | Switch to the terminal and type: |
09:45 | ruby class underscore methods underscore with underscore trailing underscore characters dot rb |
09:52 | and see the output. |
09:56 | It will give an “undefined method” error. |
09:59 | This is because, the equal to sign (=) has another meaning. |
10:03 | It is used to assign a value to a method. |
10:08 | So, let us invoke the method a little differently this time. |
10:13 | Type: puts animal dot walk equal to “hops”. |
10:17 | Now, let us give it another try. |
10:20 | Switch to the terminal and run the command like before and see the output. |
10:27 | You will notice that the word “hops” get printed. |
10:30 | This demonstrates that the equal to sign (=) next to a method means assignment. |
10:36 | Now you should be able to write your own methods. |
10:42 | In this tutorial, we have learnt: |
10:44 | How to declare classes |
10:46 | How to create objects of a class |
10:48 | Different ways of defining methods in Ruby. |
10:52 | As an assignment: |
10:54 | Define a class Product |
10:56 | Define methods that you can use to get values of “myvar” and set values for “myvar”. |
11:01 | To set values, define the method using “=” sign. |
11:05 | Instantiate the object of the class and set and get values using the above 2 methods. |
