Object-oriented programming allows procedures about objects to be created whose exact type is not known until runtime. For example, a screen cursor may change its shape from an arrow to a line ...

In object-oriented programming, we sometimes say that when type A extends type B, that type A is-a type B. (More about this in a moment.) Inheritance concepts: Overriding, overloading, and ...

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 ...

The object-oriented paradigm popularized by languages including Java and C++ has slowly given way to a functional programming approach that is advocated by popular Python libraries and JavaScript ...

Object-oriented programming, the foundation of modern software engineering, enables developers to structure their code into reusable “objects” that model real-world entities.

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.
