The document discusses the four benefits of object-oriented programming: modularity, information-hiding, code re-use, and pluggability and debugging ease. It emphasizes the importance of choosing one benefit and explaining its significance in collaborative programming. The potential challenges of not utilizing the chosen benefit in structured programming are also highlighted.

1. The Oracle tutorial on Object-Oriented Programming: What is an object?Links to an external
site. identifies four benefits that bundling code into individual software objects provides: 1)
modularity, 2) information-hiding, 3) code re-use, and 4) pluggability and debugging ease
(Oracle, n.d.). Choose one of the four identified benefits in using objects in software
development. Explain the benefit. Discuss why the benefit is important if you and a peer in the
class were working jointly to develop a program. In contrast, identify what might occur in your
joint programming effort if you and your peer could not take advantage of the benefit you
highlighted. This would be true in structured programming which is the implementation of the
source code being processed in the order in which bits of the code have been typed in.
