C++ OOP

OOP:

OOP stands for Object-Oriented Programming.Procedural programming is about writing procedures or functions that perform operations on the data, while object-oriented programming is about creating objects that contain both data and functions.

Advantages of OOP:

OOP is faster and easier to execute.

OOP provides a clear structure for the programs.

OOP helps to keep the C++ code DRY "Don't Repeat Yourself",and makes the code easier to maintain, modify and debug.

OOP makes it possible to create full reusable applications with less code and shorter development time.

Classes and Objects

Classes and objects are the two main aspects of object-oriented programming.

Look at the following illustration to see the difference between class and objects:

Class

Fruit

Objects

Apple

Banana

Mango

So,a class is a template for objects, and an object is an instance of a class.When the individual objects are created, they inherit all the variables and functions from the class.
