I am a huge exponent of OO. I can't really explain it here -- anything I say will sound like an airline magazine. Yes, inheritance is one piece. So is polymorphism. The big thing is encapsulation: data structures and methods (subroutines) dealt with as a package.
Once you get good at it it really helps you organize your programming thoughts and avoid bugs.

My understanding (albeit limited) is that O-O is modular programming with the concept of "inheritance" added. I am not sure if SP caused modular or vice-versa. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
