Advantages of Object Oriented Programming
  • Through inheritance we can eliminate redundant code and extend the use of existing classes. 
  • We can build programs from the standard working modules that communicate with one another rather than having to start writing the code from scratch. This leads to saving of development time and higher productivity.
  • The principle of data hiding helps the programmer to build secure programs that cannot be invaded by code in other parts of the program. 
  • It is possible to have multiple objects to coexist without any interference. 
  • It is easy to partition the work in a project based on objects.
  • The data centered design approach enables us to capture more details of a model in an implementable form.
  • Object-oriented systems can be easily upgraded from small to large systems.  
  • Message passing techniques for communication between objects make the interface descriptions with external systems much simpler.
  • Software complexity can be easily managed.
  • Dynamic binding increases flexibility by permitting the addition of a new class of objects without having to modify the existing code.  
  • Code reuse is possible in conventional languages as well, but Object Oriented languages greatly enhance the possibility of reuse.
  • Object Orientation provides many other advantages in the production and maintenance of software; high degree of code sharing.
