There are three major features in object-oriented programming that makes them different than non-OOP languages: encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. Encapsulation Enforces Modularity ...

In object-oriented programming, there is a fancy word for this: encapsulation. Like a vitamin capsule, the object keeps everything together in one container. Creating classes of objects ...

In our first few articles, we introduced the three tenants of object-oriented programming: encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. We then covered software process and design patterns.

However, once you’ve completed the move, you can take advantage of one of the best features of object-oriented programming—code reuse. Written by Kevin Brown, Contributor June 26, 2002 at 7:53 ...

This lesson starts a new segment about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) — an important set of concepts critical to understanding any modern software, not just modern embedded software. As usual in ...

Proponents of object-oriented techniques point to the flexibility and extensibility of object-oriented systems along with other benefits such as increased modularity, abstraction, and encapsulation.

've received quite a bit of feedback on my "Singletons Rule" Q&A. Unfortunately, much of the confusion seems to stem from this sentence: ...

Many object-oriented analysis (OOA) methods are now available for analyzing and modeling a system with objects. My colleagues and I have used some of them in case studies 1, 2 and also analyzed a ...

An introduction to the principles of object-oriented programming. It covers both object-oriented programming techniques and their application to program design including classes, objects and objects ...
