Answer to Question #113647 in Software Engineering for inv

Question

Explain the relationships between Procedural, Object oriented and Event-driven paradigms.

Answer 1

A procedural paradigm implies using variables to keep the state of a program and procedures define how the state changes.

An object-oriented paradigm means that the program is an aggregate of objects. Each object belongs to a certain class, classes form what is called inheritance.

An event-driven paradigm means that the program is executed by events (a mouse click, incoming network packet)

The process of development of a complex application may include all these paradigms. The OOP helps when a large team works on a project, it is easier in refactoring.
