Object Oriented Programming

Object Oriented Programming


Object Oriented Programming is a modern, popular approach to programming which transcends the different generations, and represents an approach and methodology which is becoming the norm rather than the exception.

C++ is the object oriented extension of the C language.

Note that C++ (which we use) incorporates C, meaning that it is possible to use OO languages to program in a procedural manner

In procedural programming, the main emphasis is on the tasks necessary to effect a solution to the problem - the data on which the procedures act is the secondary focus.

In object-oriented programming the emphasis is reversed with the data being of prime importance and the procedures that act on that data assuming secondary focus.

The OO approach is seen as essential as software projects become more complex.
