Benefits of OOP
OOP provides multiple benefits to both the program designer and the user. The objective orientation contributes to the solution of numerous problems related to the development and quality of software products. Advantages include, but are not limited to:
- Inheritance enables us to eliminate redundant code and extend the use of existing classes.
- We are able to build programs from standard work modules that communicate with each other.
- This reduces development time and increases productivity.
- The concept of data hiding allows the programmer to build secure programs.
- Work is easily partitioned within an object-based project.
- The complexity of the software is easily managed.
Although it is possible to integrate all these features into an object-oriented system, their significance depends on the type of project and the programmer’s preference. Software development that is easy to operate makes it hard to build. It is hoped that the object-oriented programming tools will help manage this problem.
