I was talking with a co-worker about C and C++ and he claimed that C is object-oriented, but I claimed that it was not. I know that you can do object-oriented-like things in C, but C++ is a true object-oriented language.
What are your thoughts?
Also, it triggered discussion on who decides what it means to be object-oriented and that it’s tough to say what object-oriented really officially means. What are you thoughts on this?
If by “is C object oriented?” you mean “is C designed with facilities specifically to support object oriented programming?” then, no, C is clearly not object oriented.
