I dedicate this post to you, since it's my 100th writeup :)

Well, I usually say good morning until noon, and refer to 3 in the morning when people call me that late/early.. but we can always say it's an object type BeforeNoon, but we can quible on that, since AM and PM doese have some sorta binary meaning.

The only "clear" definition of OO is so broad that it becomes useless in practice
I strongly disagree with this. The most freeform language you can have is machine language. All the higher level languages do is impose a syntax and laws of use. For instance, I've worked at companies where this_is_a_function vs thisIsAFunction was enforced. WHere tabs and spacing are dictated. This is to make things easier to read. Yes, we can argue that once you know a language it should be easy, but that's not the point.

All languages like java, php, perl, c++ and even c do, is dictate how OOP can and can't be usd. in C, it's the most liberal, since you can use OOP by emulation with structs. php and perl are of varying amounts of freedom. Java is very strict. In the broadest, most liberal sense, it's still quite useful. If you impose coding standards on it which govern usage, you come up with your own language where certain things aren't allowed. Even perl can be made to emulate java by never using multiple inheritance. Define an interaface by having all your methods as die().

It's a reason why there are a lot of people use java for oop and perl for oop. A lot of people agree that java's restrictions (permissions and usage) for how clases work is better than most. The perl people like the freedom they have. It's why languages strive, people agree on stuff :) So you see, the practical ones that people like, such as perl's, php's, java's, c's (lack there-of or via struct-emulation) is clear for them and thus highly usable.


Play that funky music white boy..

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
