Object-Oriented Programming Concepts

Abstract

The use of object-oriented (OO) design and object-oriented programming (OOP) methods is becoming increasingly popular. Thus, it is useful to have an introductory understanding of OOP and some of the programming features of OO languages. You can develop OO software in any high-level language like C or Pascal. However, newer languages such as Ada, C++, and F90 have enhanced features that make OOP much more natural, practical, and maintainable. Appearing before F90, C++ currently is probably the most popular OOP language, yet F90 was clearly designed to have almost all of the abilities of C++. However, rather than study the new standards, many authors simply refer to the two-decade-old F77 standard and declare that Fortran can not be used for OOP. Here we will overcome that misinformed point of view.
