Why use OOP?

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Can someone explain to me why I should use OOP instead of procedure based code.

Im building a shopping cart and i created and Item object already and using it to hold data for each item. But this Object just has properties. I mean what methods could there possibly be for an item.

Why would I need a Cart object either? There will never be more than 1 instance of the cart running. So what are the advantages to putting all my functions inside of a class?

Thanks, and sorry if your offended by this, im trying to go OOP i just don't see why yet.
