Differences between Procedural programming & Object oriented programing

Difference between OOP and POP is shown below:

• In POP, program is divided into small parts called functions. In OOP, program is divided into parts called objects. In POP, Importance is not given to data but to functions as well as sequence of actions to be done. In OOP, Importance is given to the data rather than procedures or functions because it works as a real world. POP follows Top Down approach. OOP follows Bottom Up approach. POP does not have any access specifier. OOP has access specifiers named Public, Private, Protected, etc. In POP, Data can move freely from function to function in the system. In OOP, objects can move and communicate with each other through member functions. To add new data and function in POP is not so easy. OOP provides an easy way to add new data and function. In POP, Most function uses Global data for sharing that can be accessed freely from function to function in the system. In OOP, data cannot move easily from function to function, it can be kept public or private so we can control the access of data. POP does not have any proper way for hiding data so it is less secure. OOP provides Data Hiding so provides more security. In POP, Overloading is not possible. In OOP, overloading is possible in the form of Function Overloading and Operator Overloading. Example of POP are : C, VB, FORTRAN, Pascal. Example of OOP are : C++, JAVA, VB.NET, C#.NET.
