What is Metaclass?

Metaclass is used in object -oriented programming (OOP) and is usually considered a class class. Like most META information, Metaclass works behind the program and has never seen it. Metaclass is able to edit information from the class and can be connected to one or many classes depending on the coding structure. Not all OOP structures include Metaobject coding and some could offer metabject coding only in advanced formats.

In almost all types of encoding, the META coding is a mark or a line of code that works in the program, but the user is obviously not visible. META information is above the code and is able to edit information about information or add to the program without directly reaching into the program. In PPE, Metaclass is used to take over the class and adjust its behavior.

Class in OOP is a set of instances or objects located under one umbrella. For example, a programmer can create a class called "House". The programmer creates an object accordinglyy, which modify or reproduce aspects that commonly occur in a house such as rooms, furniture and humans. While the class is able to modify these objects, Metaclass would work on adjusting the class.

Classes

in OOP are usually dynamic and can undergo many changes before completing the program. Metaclasses is static information that rarely changes if the programmer does not find meta information correctly. This prevents Metaclass to accidentally work with volatile data and also ensures that behavior modifiers cannot be manipulated.

Depending on the need for the programmer, Metaclass will either be connected to a single class or many classes at once. Programmers most often combine Metaclass to one class and add unique rules or behavior to Metaobject coding. If there are several classes that can all undergo the same behavior adjustment, meta information will be used on someolik different classes. This is possible because Metaobject coding is called and can be easily called whenever necessary.

Although it is a common occurrence in intermediate programs, some PLO structures do not offer Metaclasses. It is either because they are not needed, or there are other objects or classes that have similar functions, but are called something else. Some coding structures can also offer only complex and advanced metaklassy, ​​where others have easier for medium encoders.
