At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:

Identify the different approaches in

writing computer programs

Define OOP

Describe each concept of OOP

Programming Paradigm

There are two most common approaches to writing computer

programs. These are:

1. Procedural programming

2. Object-oriented programming
Procedural Programming

Procedural programming is a style of programming in which the

programming task is broken down into a series of operations (called
procedures) applied to data (or data structures).

Examples of procedural programming languages are C and Pascal.

Fields of an object are all the data variables that make up that object

Methods

You might have also noticed that running

actions in objects look very much like
calling a function. That’s because that’s
exactly what it is.

Methods in Java are functions that

belong to a particular object. When we
get to creating our own object types later
in this lesson we will be creating methods
the same way we used to created
functions.
