Which of the following statements accurately defines the purpose of abstraction in object-oriented programming?
Which of the following statements accurately defines the purpose of abstraction in object-oriented programming?
- It allows for the creation of reusable code modules by encapsulating data and methods within objects.
- It allows for the creation of complex hierarchies of objects by defining relationships between different classes.
- It enables the modification of data within an object without affecting other parts of the program.
- It simplifies the interaction between objects by hiding the implementation details behind a well-defined interface. (correct)
Which of the following is NOT a benefit of object-oriented programming (OOP) over functional programming?
Which of the following is NOT a benefit of object-oriented programming (OOP) over functional programming?
- OOP offers improved maintainability and modularity as code is logically organized into interconnected objects.
- OOP provides a more streamlined execution pipeline by focusing on clear function calls and immutable data. (correct)
- OOP offers easy extensibility through the inheritance of properties and methods from parent classes.
- OOP enables the creation of highly reusable modules by encapsulating functionality within objects.
Which of the following statements accurately describes the relationship between polymorphism and object-oriented programming?
Which of the following statements accurately describes the relationship between polymorphism and object-oriented programming?
- Polymorphism allows for the usage of the same method name in different classes, with each class defining its own implementation based on its specific needs. (correct)
- Polymorphism allows for the dynamic creation and destruction of objects during runtime, making programs more efficient.
- Polymorphism allows for the creation of hierarchies of objects by defining relationships between different classes.
- Polymorphism enables the creation of multiple objects with the same data structure but different methods.
Which of the following statements accurately compares the speed and efficiency of functional and object-oriented programming languages?

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of true functional programming?
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of true functional programming?

Functional Programming
Functional Programming
A programming paradigm using functions as the primary building blocks, with outputs being immutable.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
A programming paradigm that uses objects to represent data and behavior, allowing for polymorphism and mutable state.
Polymorphism
Polymorphism
A feature in OOP that allows objects to be treated as instances of their parent class, enabling different behaviors for the same interface.
Abstraction in OOP
Abstraction in OOP
A principle that hides complex implementation details and exposes only the necessary features of an object.

Mutable vs Immutable
Mutable objects can change state or data, while immutable objects cannot after their creation.

Functional Programming vs. Object-Oriented Programming
- Functional programming structures instructions in dedicated functions.
- Object-oriented programming (OOP) presents instructions as data within objects.
- Functional programming outputs are consistently the same (immutable).
- OOP outputs can be modified (mutable) within different classes.
- OOP is more adaptable; objects are easily extendable.
- OOP's abstraction provides security by hiding internal functions.
- Functional programming may expose more internal details.
- OOP is often more maintainable than functional programming despite complexity.
- Functional programming can show procedural aspects.
- Functional programming potentially faster; avoiding object hierarchies.
- Object hierarchies are crucial in OOP.
OOP Advantages and Considerations
- OOP can be challenging initially, but writing object-oriented code makes things clearer.
- OOP principles generally remain consistent across languages.
- Different OOP languages have their own unique features and implementation strategies.
- Choosing the right language is key to mastering OOP.
