Differences between Procedural and Object

Oriented Programming
Procedural Programming

Procedural Programming can be defined as a programming model which is derived from


structured programming, based upon the concept of calling procedure. Procedures, also kn own
as routines, subroutines or functions, simply consist of a series of computational steps to be
carried out. During a program’s execution, any given procedure might be called at any point,
including by other procedures or itself.
Languages used in Procedural Programming:

FORTRAN, ALGOL, COBOL,


BASIC, Pascal and C.

Object-Oriented Programming

Object-oriented programming can be defined as a programming model which is based upon the
concept of objects. Objects contain data in the form of attributes and code in the form of
methods. In object-oriented programming, computer programs are designed using the concept of
objects that interact with the real world. Object-oriented programming languages are various but
the most popular ones are class-based, meaning that objects are instances of classes, which
also determine their types.
Languages used in Object-Oriented Programming:

Java, C++, C#, Python,


PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, Perl,
Objective-C, Dart, Swift, Scala.

Procedural Programming vs Object-Oriented Programming

Below are some of the differences between procedural and object-oriented programming:

Procedural Oriented Programming Object-Oriented Programming

In procedural programming, the program is divided In object-oriented programming, the program is


into small parts called functions. divided into small parts called objects.

Procedural programming follows a top-down Object-oriented programming follows a bottom-up


approach. approach.

There is no access specifier in procedural Object-oriented programming has access specifiers


programming. like private, public, protected, etc.
Procedural Oriented Programming Object-Oriented Programming

Adding new data and functions is not easy. Adding new data and function is easy.

Procedural programming does not have any proper way Object-oriented programming provides data hiding so
of hiding data so it is less secure. it is more secure.

In procedural programming, overloading is not Overloading is possible in object-oriented


possible. programming.

In procedural programming, there is no concept of data In object-oriented programming, the concept of data
hiding and inheritance. hiding and inheritance is used.

In procedural programming, the function is more In object-oriented programming, data is more


important than the data. important than function.

Object-oriented programming is based on the real

Procedural programming is used for designing Object-oriented programming is used for designing
medium-sized programs. large and complex programs.

Procedural programming uses the concept of procedure Object-oriented programming uses the concept of data
