| Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming technique that evolves from the more common procedural/modular programming. In procedural programming a solution usually revolves around breaking down a task into smaller ones and writing a function (or procedure - hence the word procedural) specifically to deal with each of that (usually single) small task. Thus, you see a lot of functions that takes data structure (usually in form of a pointer) as an argument. In contrast, object-oriented programming focus more on modelling a solution as an object - which can be an instance of a more generic category. As an object, the solution would have properties (merely a variable in procedural programming) that describes the object, and methods (functions in procedural programming) which are processes used to model how an object acts/reacts. Based on this, it is clear that object-oriented programming is a technique and not just language. So, writing a program in C++ (or using a C++ compiler) still doesn't qualify as implementing object oriented programming - it is still possible to write a solution purely based on modular programming using C++ (especially when the all classes have public members only). | Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming technique that evolves from the more common procedural/modular programming.

| The main features of OOP are encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. The page on [[wp>object-oriented programming|wikipedia]] also list others, but I feel those can actually be sub-categorized under (or stems from) the mentioned features. So, a language that supports these features should qualify as a language that supports OOP (i.e. enables implementing a solution using OOP technique). C++ and Java are the early popular implementations (C++ because of its roots in C and Java because.... well, it's Java! Maybe also because it's among the first to promote cross platform implementation). | The main features of OOP are encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.
