Difference between Procedure Oriented Programming (POP) & Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
| Procedure Oriented Programming | Object-Oriented Programming |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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.’ |
