ADVANTAGES OF OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (OOP)
Gooday! Welcome to my blog, I am Ola, I am here today to briefly explain some of the advantages of Object Oriented Programming (OOP). There is nothing wrong with procedural method of write programming languages but most developers prefer OOP as it has a lots of advantages.
In this post, I will be looking at some of the advantages of Object Oriented Programming OOP, I have some of the advantages highlighted below:
- Easy, efficient and compact coding
It is easy for other programmer to write the code less code, this means with OOP, you do more with less,
- Code written in OOP can be easily extended with the new requirements.
- Better control and security of data and member functions.
- Errors can be detected and handled efficiently
In OOP, error detection is easier compare to other methods. OOP is efficient in detecting error easily.
- Support for best coding practice
Using OOP, our approach of write codes get improved.
- Easily separates code specification and implementation.
- Same code can be used in multiple projects that is reusability gets improved.
- Performance gets improved.
when codes are simple and precise, this will increase the performance of our application. OOP is the best when it comes to application performance.
- Easily maintains the code
In Object Oriented Programming OOP, codes are being written in such a way at any point in time, if we are to make any correction, codes in OOP are easy to edit and maintain.
- Provides a better way of representing the code
In Object Oriented Programming, we are representing the codes in form of classes, this makes it easier for programmers to read and understand.
- Programmer can easily understand the code
Code wring in Object Oriented Programming OOP is easy to understand by programmer, codes in OOP are always well organized.
- Provide better conceptualization and modelling using real world object.
We have explored some of the benefits of Object Oriented Programming in this lesson, which indicates that Object Oriented Programming eliminates DRY, which simply means you should not repeat yourself.
Object Oriented Programming is very good at code reusability, it is very efficient, it is easy to comprehend and debug, and it is simple to add additional functions depending on client demands.
Some programming languages, such as PHP, allow you to write procedural code, however Object Oriented Programming is widely recommended for large projects due to its scalability.
