What is the difference between Object-Oriented Programming and Traditional (Procedural)
Programming?
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) focuses on objects that encapsulate data and methods, using features
like inheritance and polymorphism.
Procedural programming (traditional) focuses on functions and sequential execution of instructions.
Key differences include:
1. OOP uses classes and objects; Procedural uses functions and global variables.
2. OOP offers strong data security via encapsulation; Procedural has weaker security.
3. OOP is more scalable and suitable for complex systems; Procedural works best for small applications.
Explain the concept of Messages, Methods, and Classes in [Link].
Messages in [Link] are calls sent to objects to invoke their methods.
Methods are blocks of code encapsulated in a class that define an object's behavior, such as 'StartEngine()'.
Classes are blueprints for creating objects, containing attributes and methods.
Example:
A class 'Car' may have methods like 'StartEngine()' and 'Accelerate()'. A message '[Link]()'
invokes the 'StartEngine()' method of the Car object.
Explain Control Structures in [Link] with Examples.
Control structures direct the flow of a program and include:
1. Conditional Structures (If-Then, Select Case) for decision-making.
2. Looping Structures (For, While) for repeating code.
3. Branching (Exit, Continue) to alter loop execution.
Example:
If-Else checks conditions, loops like 'For i = 1 To 5' iterate code, and 'Exit For' stops a loop early.
