| OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) | POP (Procedural Oriented Programming) |
|---|---|
| Emphasizes objects and their interactions | Emphasizes procedures and functions |
| Data is encapsulated within objects | Data is separate from procedures |
| Supports inheritance between classes | Does not support inheritance |
| Object-oriented programming follows a bottom-up approach. | Procedural programming follows a top-down approach. |
