Advantages of Object Oriented Programming.

These are some of the major advantages of OOP.  

• Simplicity: software objects model real world objects, so the complexity is reduced and the program structure is very clear.

 

• Modularity: each object forms a separate entity whose internal workings are decoupled from other parts of the system.

  

• Modifiability: it is easy to make minor changes in the data representation or the procedures in an OO program. Changes inside a class do not affect any other part of a program, since the only public interface that the external world has to a class is through the use of methods.

 

• Extensibility: adding new features or responding to changing operating environments can be solved by introducing a few new objects and modifying some existing ones.

  

• Maintainability: objects can be maintained separately, making locating and fixing problems easier.

 

• Re-usability: objects can be reused in different programs.
