Prompt Title: OOP vs Procedural programming language

Procedural programming and object-oriented programming (OOP) are two different programming paradigms that define how code is organized, structured, and executed. Here are the key differences between them:

1. Organizational Structure:

   • Procedural Programming: Focuses on procedures or routines. Code is organized as a series of functions or procedures that operate on data.
   • Object-Oriented Programming: Focuses on objects. Code is organized into classes and objects that encapsulate data and behavior.

2. Data Handling:

   • Procedural Programming: Emphasizes on data and the procedures that operate on the data. Data is often global and can be accessed by any function.
   • Object-Oriented Programming: Encapsulates data within objects, and the behavior (methods) that operate on the data are closely tied to those objects. Data hiding and encapsulation are key principles.

3. Encapsulation:

   • Procedural Programming: Data and procedures are separate, and data can be freely accessed by any part of the program.
   • Object-Oriented Programming: Encapsulation hides the internal state of an object and requires interactions to occur through an object's methods.

4. Inheritance:

   • Procedural Programming: Generally does not have the concept of inheritance.
   • Object-Oriented Programming: Supports inheritance, allowing new classes to be derived from existing classes, inheriting their properties and behaviors.

5. Polymorphism:

   • Procedural Programming: Achieved through functions and procedural techniques.
   • Object-Oriented Programming: Supports polymorphism through methods and interfaces, allowing different classes to be treated as instances of the same class.

6. Reusability:

   • Procedural Programming: Code reusability is achieved through functions and procedures.
   • Object-Oriented Programming: Promotes code reusability through the creation of classes and the ability to create new classes based on existing ones (inheritance).

7. Example:

   • Procedural Programming: C is often cited as a procedural programming language.
   • Object-Oriented Programming: Java, C++, and Python are examples of object-oriented programming languages.

Both paradigms have their strengths and weaknesses, and the choice between them often depends on the nature of the problem being solved and the preferences of the developer or development team.
