Most of the readers are unaware of the fact that there is a minor difference between Object-oriented Language and Object-based language. All programming languages that are Object-based Languages are not supposed to have the qualities of Object-oriented Language.
Here are the significant difference between Object-oriented Programming Language and Object-based Programming Language:
| Object-oriented Programming Language | Object-based Programming Language |
|---|---|
| All the characteristics and features of object-oriented programming are supported. | All characteristics and features of object-oriented programming, such as inheritance and polymorphism are not supported. |
| These types of programming languages don't have a built-in object. Example: C++. | These types of programming languages have built-in objects. Example: JavaScript has a window object. |
| Java is an example of object-oriented programing language which supports creating and inheriting (which is reusing of code) one class from another. | VB is another example of object-based language as you can create and use classes and objects, but inheriting classes is not supported. |
