object-oriented programming (OOP)
- object-oriented programming (OOP)
-
Computer programming that emphasizes the structure of data and their encapsulation with the procedures that operate upon it.
It is a departure from traditional or procedural programming. OOP languages incorporate objects that are self-contained collections of computational procedures and data structures. Programs can be written by assembling sets of these predefined objects in far less time than is possible using conventional procedural languages. OOP has become extremely popular because of its high programming productivity.
C++ and Objective-C (early 1980s) are object-oriented versions of C that have gained much popularity. See also
Java.
