What is the true meaning of OOP?

Name: Anonymous 2006-04-11 16:42

Enlighten me, what is the true essence of OOP? Is is just the use of objects and classes, or is it something more?

and is OOP really better than structured programming?

Agreed.  When I program in C++, I don't get overtly anal about making every, single, god damn thing conform to OOP analisms.  C++'s biggest strength, at least as far as my coding style is, is it lets me code in C, but I can compartmentalize (is that a real world?) certain things so that my code can be slightly more readable than if I were to write it in pure C.

If I were to structure a graphics engine in C++ using strict OOP protocol, it'd be shitty and slow compared to if I wrote such a thing in C++, with very loose OOP such that I can still design the data structures based on speed rather than blind orthodoxy.
