Introduction to Object Oriented Programming (OOP) in Dart

Dart is high-level programming language with the support of object-oriented programming. Dart is pretty similar to Java, C#, and C++ in terms of syntax and features. Many concepts in Dart are similar to Java, C#, and C++. Dart OOP supports the following features:

  • Classes and Dart Objects : Dart is an object-oriented programming language. Everything in Dart is an object. Objects are instances of classes.
  • Inheritance : Inheritance is a mechanism in which one object acquires all the properties and behaviors of a parent object. It is an important feature of OOPs.
  • Encapsulation : Encapsulation is the mechanism of wrapping the data (variables) and code acting on the data (methods) together as a single unit. In encapsulation, the variables of a class will be hidden from other classes, and can be accessed only through the methods of their current class. Therefore, it is also known as data hiding.
  • Polymorphism : Polymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms. The most common use of polymorphism in OOP occurs when a parent class reference is used to refer to a child class object.
  • Abstraction : Abstraction is a process of hiding the implementation details from the user, only the functionality will be provided to the user. In other words, the user will have the information on what the object does instead of how it does it.

Now let's dive into each of these concepts in detail.
