Study Notes
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
- OOP groups data and functions within objects.
- Example:
virtualPet
object has asleepy
property and anap
method to modify this property. - Using the
nap
method changes thesleepy
state fromtrue
tofalse
. - Access to the
sleepy
property is done throughvirtualPet.sleepy
.
Functional Programming (FP)
- FP focuses on functions manipulating data.
- Example:
getTotal
function adds two numbers. -
getTotal(a,b)
returns the sum ofa
andb
. - Data (like
num1
andnum2
) and functionality (getTotal
function) are distinct entities.
Summary
- OOP: Combines data and related actions within an object.
- FP: Separates data and functions for processing data.
