Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
Since Java is an Object Programming Language, I have decided to write on the concept of Object Oriented Programming before moving to details about Java. So in this post and a few subsequent posts, I shall be writing about the concept of Object Oriented Programming.
Before Object Oriented Programming came into effect, procedural programming was in use. Programs written using procedural programming approach consist of various functions. These functions can be executed anywhere within the program. The functions of procedural programs are interdependent; therefore they are difficult to separate from one another. These interdependent functions can not be reused in other programs. As a result, even for a similar task across programs, the entire function has to be recoded. This made program development a complex task.
