1.1: Overview of OOP
OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (OOP):
Object-Oriented Programming System (OOPs) is a programming paradigm based
on the concept of ―objects that contain data and methods, instead of just functions
and procedures.
The primary purpose of object-oriented programming is to increase the
flexibility and maintainability of programs.
Object oriented programming brings together data and its behavior
(methods) in to a single entity (object) which makes it easier to understand
how a program works.
Features / advantages of Object Oriented Programming :-
1. It emphasis in own data rather than procedure.
2. It is based on the principles of inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation and
dataabstraction.
3. Programs are divided into objects.
4. Data and the functions are wrapped into a single unit called class so that
data ishidden and is safe from accidental alternation.
5. Objects communicate with each other through functions.
6. New data and functions can be easily added whenever necessary.
7. Employs bottom-up approach in program design.
PROCEDURE-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING [POP]:
Procedure-Oriented Programming is a conventional programming which consists
of writing a list of instructions for the computer to follow and organizing these
instructions into groups known as Functions (or) Procedures (or)
subroutines (or)Modules.
Example: A program may involve the following operations:
Collecting data from user (Reading)
Calculations on collected data (Calculation)
Displaying the result to the user (Printing)
Main Program
Global Data
Procedure
Procedure Procedure
3(Printing)
1(Reading) 2(Calculation)
Local Data Local Data Local Data
Characteristics of Procedural oriented programming:-
1. It focuses on process rather than data.
2. It takes a problem as a sequence of things to be done such as reading,
calculating and printing. Hence, a number of functions are written to solve a
problem.
3. A program is divided into a number of functions and each function has
clearly defined purpose.
4. Most of the functions share global data.
5. Data moves openly around the system from function to function.
6. Employs top-down approach in program design.
Drawback of POP
Procedural languages are difficult to relate with the real world objects.
Procedural codes are very difficult to maintain, if the code grows larger.
Procedural languages do not have automatic memory management as like in Java.
Hence, it makes the programmer to concern more about the memory
management of the program.
The data, which is used in procedural languages, are exposed to the whole
program.So, there is no security for the data.
Examples of Procedural languages :
o BASIC
o C
o Pascal
o FORTRAN
