Why is OOP successful
Barry Burd put this more eloquently that I ever possibly could. So here is direct quote from his book:
"With object-oriented programming, a big change has come about. At its heart,
an object-oriented program is made to be modified. With correctly written
software, you can take advantage of features that are already built-in, add
new features of your own, and override features that don't suit your needs.
And the best part is that the changes you make are clean. No clawing and dig-
ging into other people's brittle program code. Instead, you make nice, orderly
additions and modifications without touching the existing code's internal
logic. It's the ideal solution.With object-oriented programming, a big change has come about. At its heart,
