A comparison of object-oriented languages in software engineering
Article No.: 6, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
Object-oriented programming is still a relatively new technology in the world of web development. Object-oriented programming languages directly support the object notions of classes, inheritance, information hiding, and dynamic binding. In Object-Oriented Programming, a program is seen as comprising a collection of individual modules, or objects, that act on each other. Each of these objects could be seen as an independent program in itself, with a distinct role or responsibility. Object-Oriented Programming provides greater flexibility and easier maintenance across large systems and can sometimes make understanding and analyzing complex procedures a lot easier. This paper presents a comparison of object-oriented programming in software engineering including properties of Java, C++, Eiffel, and Smalltalk languages.
