Hello Class, There are many advantages to object-oriented programming (OOP). Four of the advantages are laid out in The Java Tutorials by Oracle. They are modularity ; information-hiding , code reuse , and pluggability (2022). Modularity means that the code can be written in smaller sections. Those sections can then be tested and debugged independently. Once working, those sections can be shared among projects with programmers knowing exactly what they will get from each section. Information-hiding can serve to protect an object from unwanted changes. This can serve to prevent the wrong values from being assigned to objects that will cause problems later. Code reuse , there is no need to reinvent the wheel. Once an object is working, it can be endlessly reused in many new projects. Pluggability , which allows for the sharing of objects as described above. It also means that if an object isn’t working as desired, it can be debug...
