What is the difference between object oriented and event driven language?

Answer 1

hi, the answer for the above mention question goes like this............

The event driven programming in oops language is very conceptual programig concept, in the event driven program, the user can interact with the user interface by making use of mouse or any other means of controls

'

But in procedural programming , you cannot interact with the user interface through any of the control, u can only and solely interact with the user interface through codes............

so its is rather difficult for the user to interact the user interface through codes

Answer 2

Object oriented programming focuses on performing actions and manipulation of data that is encapsulated in objects within a sequential series of steps while event driven is more dynamic and relies on event triggering and event handling to determine the sequencing of the program. Event driven programs can have threads that perform actions based upon triggers/event in your program.

With multi-threading it is possible to have numerous threads interacting with your code simultaneously. While multi-threading can take full advantage of the multiple cores in your cpu which can be faster, you have issues such as thread locking due to synchronization issues where multiple threads are trying to access the same object. Event driven programming will still have objects but it will also have threads that are only initialized once an event has been triggered. Example: fire sprinkler system, let's say there is a sensor for detecting a fire and sprinkler system used to extinguish the fire. if we used only object oriented, we would create an endless loop that constantly checks the status of the sensor if it detects a fire we turn on the sprinkler, the program would work but it wouldn't be much use for any other task. In an event driven program, we could set an event that triggers a thread when the fire sensor activates and we can create an event handler that would process the thread in order to tell the sprinkler system to turn on. In this fashion, our event program could also have other functionality as it is not stuck in an endless loop.
