The object oriented model and its advantages

Abstract

This paper examines some advantages of the Object Oriented Model (O.O.M), such as reuse of code. better structured programs and easier transition from analysis to implementation. It presents some examples, showing why the O.O.M results in higher code reuse than procedural programming. The paper points also the advantages of Object Oriented Analysis (O.O.A) and of Data Abstraction (even though no direct connection exists between D.A. and the O.O.M).The reader is supposed to have some knowledge of the Object Oriented paradigm (class definition, objects. inheritance and polymorphism) and of C++ language.
