OOP Concepts

What is the primary characteristic of Object-oriented Programming (OOP) that distinguishes it from procedural programming?

• Separating data and functions into distinct units.

• Combining related variables and functions into a single unit.

• Using only functions to manipulate global data.

• Writing code that is entirely independent of any data.

What is a key benefit of using encapsulation, as demonstrated by the 'getWage' function in the object-oriented example compared to the procedural one?

• It allows functions to have more parameters.

• It makes functions entirely independent of data.

• It reduces the number of parameters a function needs.

• It increases the overall complexity of the code.

Which of the following is a benefit of abstraction in object-oriented programming?

• It exposes all internal complexities to the user.

• It makes the interface more complex.

• It helps reduce the impact of changes by hiding internal details.

• It eliminates the need for any methods.

What is the main purpose of inheritance in object-oriented programming?

• To increase code redundancy.

• To combine unrelated variables and functions.

• To eliminate redundant code.

• To create complex switch/case statements.
