…but what is the difference between those two things? I am reading about OOP and the author is making this distinction. He’s saying, “… a program can be conceptually organize around its code or its data.” So around code its process-oriented model and its data its OOP.
It’s hard to say without knowing what the author wrote.
So the data found inside an object.
That’s not enough information. I would need to actually see what was written to understand what the author means. Can you provide the full paragraph?
I was able to write some code that made this clear
function employees(name, timeInComp) {
this.name = name;
this.timeInComp = timeInComp;
this.introduce = function() {return this.timeInComp <= 2}
};
let arrr = [];
let employee221 = new employees('Memet', 3);
let employee109 = new employees('Jilles', 1);
arrr.push(employee109, employee221);
function a1(val) {
if(val.timeInComp < 5) {
console.log(`${val.name} has been in the company for less than 5 years`);
} else if(val.timeInComp > 5) {
console.log(`${val.name} has been in the company for more than 5 years`);
};
if(val.introduce()) {
console.log(`${val.name} has to introducte himself, because he has been in the company for ${val.timeInComp} year(s)`);
};
};
for(let i = 0; i < arrr.length; i++) {
a1(arrr[i]);
};
This is cool, because the condition has only to be changed in the class.
By the way, the book I’m referring to is called: Java The Complete Reference. Schildt, Herbert.
I don’t exactly love the wording the author used, but I see what they mean.
In this context, data is the information, like strings and arrays, and ‘code’ is more the logical steps you want to use to manipulate that data.
