Hello everyone!
If being a programmer and you don’t know the concept of OOP is somehow incomplete being called programmer. There are OOP concepts in Java, python, c# which are used with hardcoded code.
Can anyone teach me the concepts of OOP in UiPath ?
so that if I am not familiar with Java, python, c# but I can learn those concepts using UiPath.
UiPath is a C# based tool, based on that all the C# concepts applies directly to UiPath also for OOP
Here are some OOP-like concepts you can apply in UiPath:
Encapsulation: You can encapsulate data and functionality within custom activities or workflows using arguments, variables, and invoked workflows. Encapsulation allows you to create reusable components with inputs and outputs.
Inheritance: UiPath supports the concept of inheritance through the use of workflows. You can create a base workflow that contains common functionality and inherit from it in other workflows to reuse and extend that functionality.
Polymorphism: Polymorphism, which refers to the ability to use an object of one type as if it were of another type, is not directly supported in UiPath. However, you can achieve similar behavior by using variables of the Object type and typecasting them as needed.
Abstraction: Abstraction involves creating abstract classes or interfaces to define common behavior and characteristics. While UiPath workflows do not have built-in support for abstract classes or interfaces, you can design your workflows to follow a similar pattern by defining standard input/output formats and using them across multiple workflows.
It’s important to note that UiPath is primarily focused on process automation rather than full-fledged software development. While you can apply some OOP concepts within UiPath workflows, it’s recommended to learn and practice OOP concepts in traditional programming languages like Java, Python, or C# for a more comprehensive understanding.
