Object oriented to Procedure oriented Glossary

[tfinch2]

I need a list of the different terms used in each paradigm of programming that are interchangeable. I googled for awhile but I couldn't find any, can anyone link a list or help? Thanks!

what do you mean by "term"?

like: variable, statement, integer, float, string?

Sorry for not being more clear

But a function in POP is called a method in OOP. A class in OOP is called a ________ in POP...

That's not necessarily true. A function and method are interchangable terms. They describe the same thing whether you're thinking OO or procedural. There are times when the language itself uses one or another in the syntax. But for generic terms, you cannot tell whether someone is talking about OO or procedural just by the word they are using.

Well it's on a particular exam that I am taking for tomorrow. I am fine doing all the programming work but I need a list of the interchangeable terms.

😕 I was never taught that terms were programming style specific, though certain terms were used for certain languages. I was taught to recognize any of them and know whats going on.

Here's a sample question:

In object oriented terminology the term "class" refers to what term in procedure oriented terminology?

structure maybe? I could have sworn procedural languages can use classes as well.
