Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is an approach to program organization and development that attempts to eliminate some of the pitfalls of conventional programming method by combining the best of structure programming feature with several powerful new concepts. Object oriented programming is the recent concept among programming paradigm. It is define as “An approach that provides a way of modularizing programs by creating portioned memory area for both data and functions that can be used as templates for creating copies of such modules on demand”.

Some of the powerful features introduced in OOPs are
Data Hiding Concept
Data abstraction and Encapsulation
Inheritance
Polymorphism

In OPPs Lab we use C++ and JAVA. C++ is and object oriented programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at AT & T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, USA in the early 1980’s. C++ is an extension of C with some additional facilities, which are Class, Object, Inheritance, Function overloading, Operator overloading etc.

The Object Oriented feature in C++ allow programmers to build large program with clarity, Extensibility and ease of maintenance incorporating the spirit and efficiency of C.

JAVA is a general purpose, object oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystem of USA in 1991. JAVA is really simple, reliable, portable and powerful language. The most striking feature of the language is that platform neutral language. JAVA is the first programming language that is not tied to any particular hardware or operating system. Program developed in JAVA can be executed anywhere on any system.

We use for this lab-
H/W - Pentium IV, 128 MB RAM, 40 GB Hard disk
S/W - TURBOC 3, JDK 1.3, Internet Explorer 6.0
