OOP vs PP for algorithms
algorithm, oop, procedural-programming
Solution
Object-Oriented programming isn't particularly relevant to algorithms. Procedural programming you will need, but as far as algorithms are concerned, object-oriented programming is just another way to package up procedural programming. You have methods instead of functions and classes instead of records/structs, but the only relevant difference is run-time dispatch, and that's just a declarative way to handle a run-time decision that could have been handled some other way.
Object-Oriented programming is more relevant to the larger scale - design patterns etc - whereas algorithms are more relevant to the smaller scale involving a small number (often just one) of procedures.
Problem
Which paradigm is better for design and analysis of algorithms? Which is faster? Because I have a subject called Design and Analysis of Algorithms in university and have a time limit for programs. Is OOP slower than Procedure programming? Or the time difference is not big?
