The basic language elements for supporting object-oriented programming are presented and compared for Ada 9X and C++. These elements include encapsulation, inheritance and dynamic binding. It is shown how these features are built into Ada without the sacrifice of the well-known strong typing. On the other hand, it is shown that Ada could be stronger in the areas of multiple inheritance and user defined construction and destruction. The discussions are accompanied by many small examples thus supporting the intention that the article can be read by a person without detailed knowledge of either language. Some knowledge on Ada 83 is beneficial, though.
