Object Oriented Programming

Introduction Object Orientation has become more and more important in the last years. Object oriented programming was designed for re-use of codes. It is a type of programming in which programmers define not only the data structure, but also the types of operations that can be applied to the data structure. In this way, the data structure becomes an object that includes both data and functions. In addition, programmers can create relationships between one object …showed first 75 words of 1406 total…

Object-oriented programming requires a major shift in thinking by programmers, however. The C++ language offers an easier transition via C, but it still requires an o-o design approach in order to make proper use of this technology. Smalltalk offers a pure o-o environment, with more rapid development time and greater flexibility and power. Java promises much for Web-enabling object-oriented programs.
