OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) is a programming paradigm based on objects and classes, while POP (Procedural Oriented Programming) is based on procedures or routines.
OOP vs. POP

Key Differences

OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) is a programming paradigm that uses objects and classes to design and build applications. It focuses on using objects that contain both data and methods. POP (Procedural Oriented Programming), on the other hand, is a paradigm that emphasizes procedures or functions to operate on data.

In OOP, the primary approach is to break down the software design into reusable objects with their own properties and behaviors. Contrastingly, POP structures a program into procedures or routines, where the main focus is on the sequence of actions to be performed.

OOP promotes concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, enhancing code reusability and flexibility. Meanwhile, POP is more linear and straightforward, focusing on a step-by-step procedural approach, which can make it less adaptable to complex applications.

OOP is generally more suitable for large, complex systems where maintaining and updating code is frequent. POP is often preferred for simpler, smaller applications where the task-oriented approach is more efficient.

OOP's object-centric approach can make it more intuitive for modeling real-world scenarios, whereas POP's procedural approach is often seen as more straightforward but less flexible in terms of code reuse and maintenance.
