Python - Object-Oriented Programming Foundations
Which statement best describes the main difference between procedural and object-oriented programming in Python?
AProcedural programming is faster than object-oriented programming in all cases.
BProcedural programming is only for small programs; object-oriented programming is for large programs.
CProcedural programming cannot use variables; object-oriented programming can.
DProcedural programming uses functions and step-by-step instructions; object-oriented programming uses classes and objects.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand procedural programming basics

    Procedural programming organizes code as functions and instructions executed in order.
  2. Step 2: Understand object-oriented programming basics

    Object-oriented programming organizes code using classes and objects that combine data and behavior.
  3. Final Answer:

    Procedural programming uses functions and step-by-step instructions; object-oriented programming uses classes and objects. -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Procedural = functions, OOP = classes/objects [OK]
Quick Trick: Procedural = steps; OOP = objects/classes [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Thinking procedural can't use variables
  • Believing OOP is always slower
  • Confusing program size with programming style
