What Are the Characteristics of
Object-Oriented Programming
Languages?
Programmers use an object-oriented
programming (OOP) language to implement
object-oriented design. An object is an item that
can contain both data and the procedures that
read or manipulate the data. A major benefit of
OOP is the ability to reuse and modify existing
objects, allowing programmers to create
applications faster. OOP languages include C++ ,
which is an object-oriented extension of the C
programming language, and Java, which is similar
to C++ but uses a just-in-time (JIT) compiler to
convert its source code into machine code.
