 Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2008 5:28 pm Post subject: Question about C++ |
 |
|
I have been learning C++ for a while now. I was wondering if learning the OO/Polymorphism part is really crucial to the language. Can I possible get by C++ without using its OOP extensions and just use its other features for a better procedural programming?
Also, out of curiosity, I was wondering if any of you people preferred procedural programming to OOP.
Thanks.

C++ itself is OOP. It was created, and formally named 'C With Classes' when it was first created which was later then renamed to C++. OO (Object-Oriented for the people not really following along) includes, and is not limited to: Objects, Classes, Sub-Classes, Virtual Methods, Coroutines, Garbage Collection, and Discrete Event Simulation.
| Quote: | | Object-oriented programming may be seen as a collection of cooperating objects, as opposed to a traditional view in which a program may be seen as a group of tasks to the computer ("subroutines"). In OOP, each object is capable of receiving messages, processing data, and sending messages to other objects. |
If you are programming in C++ you wont avoid OO at all unless you are using a C++ compiler to code in straight C. Although most don't see classes as being part of the OOP style, they are.

I was going to say exactly the same after reading your post. If you're not intrested in the OO-stuff, why not to code in pure C?
