Applications of Object Oriented Programming
Below are the main application areas of Object-Oriented Programming:
AI and Expert System
User interface design such as windows, menu
Decision support and office automation systems
Object-oriented databases
Neural Networks and parallel programming
Simulation and Modeling
Real-Time Systems
What are the benefits of OOP:
OOP makes it easy to model a real system as real objects as they are represented by it. It is easy to analyze the user requirements as objects are processed by their member data and functions.
Data can be made private to a class in a way that only member functions of the class can access the data. This helps the programmer to create a secured program that is independent of code in other parts of the program.
With the help of inheritance in OOP, you can reuse an existing class to derive a new class such that the redundant code is eliminated and the use of the existing class is extended, This saves time and cost for the program.
It makes it easy for you to partition your work into a project based on objects. Also, it is possible to have multiple instances of an object co-exist without any interference (i.e every object has its separate member data and function).
The same function or same operator can be used for different purposes with the help of polymorphism, and therefore helps to manage software complexity easily.
OOP helps to reduce large problems to a smaller and more manageable ones.
