Abstract
Upon reading the chapter title, one could wonder why object-oriented programming (OOP) is introduced only now. We have used objects since Chapter 2, and we started making our own classes and object types in Chapter 8, so what is new in Chapter 9? The answer is that the term OOP can have two different meanings. The first simply involves programming with objects and classes, which we introduced in Chapter 8, and is more commonly referred to as object-based programming.
