Object Oriented Programming vs Structural Programming

[fog37]

Thank you. You are right. I guess I was my question was implicitly referring to the Java language...

"The line of code Servo myservo creates the object."

I think the above statement is not precisely accurate. "Servo myservo" declares the name-and-type of an object that the programmer intends to use subsequently. Actually to create (i.e., allocate memory for) the object requires an assignment statement, such as "myservo = new Servo".

OOP reflects the real world behavior of how things work. It is important because

• It make visualization easier because it is closest to real world scenarios.
• You can reuse the code, this saves time, and shrinks your project.
• Once you know the concept, it makes you a cooler coder among your friends ;) .

There are 3 basic features of object oriented programming language:

• Inheritance
• Polymorphism
• Encapsulation

By using these features you can easily reuse your program or part of your program. Object oriented programming provides you a power to do programming in a very effective manner. Learn OOP concept and implement it in your daily programs.
