What is the Full Form of OOPS ?

OOPS - Object-Oriented Programming System


In Computer Science, any language (like C++ and Java) that supports the OOPS concepts is known as Object-Oriented Programming Language. There are 4 basic requirements of Object-Oriented Programming System: Inheritance, Polymorphism, Encapsulation and abstraction. To be called an Object Oriented Programming language, a language has to fulfill these 4 requirements.

In Object-Oriented Programming System everything is based on an object. An object is nothing but a real world entity. Unlike Procedural languages that focuses on procedure, Object-Oriented language is based on objects.

Following are the basic elements of OOPS:

  • Object
  • Classes
  • Inheritance
  • Dynamic Binding
  • Polymorphism
  • Message passing
  • Encapsulation


The most Popular Object-Oriented Programming languages are:

  • C++
  • C#
  • Java
  • Visual Basic
  • Objective-C
  • Smalltalk
  • COBOL
  • MATLAB
  • Smalltalk
  • PHP5
