Before Object Oriented Programming One of the easiest ways to understand what is meant by ‘object oriented’, is to define what it is not.

The main idea behind object-oriented programming is as simple as can be: you try to break a program in parts that are as powerful as the whole.

While most students pick up algorithmic approaches to programming fairly easily, many struggle to get their heads around the idea of object-orientation.

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is sometimes portrayed as difficult and intimidating. The truth is that object-oriented programming uses a very familiar model to help make programs easier to manage.
