Empirical Evaluation of Object-Oriented Programming Effectiveness in Different Types of Program

摘要

This paper discusses effectiveness of object-oriented programming by applying it to five different types of program; that is, load flow computation, inference engine, semantic network, minimum distance path problem, and back propagation learning algorithm for three layer neural network. The results will give some clues to readers to determine whether they should employ object-oriented programming or not when they need to develop a program.
