OK, I know that C++ is object orentated. But what is the difference between Object Orentated programming languages and Precedual Programming?
thanks,

"All things come to an end"
classes
(Are you really so helpless that you can't look up what objected orientated programming entails yourself? Although, I see your inability to spell properly might be a hindrance.)

C++ has classes, objects, member variables and member functions.
An object is a specific instance of a class... to steal from "C++ in 21 Days": A cat is a class. Fluffy and Boots are objects.
With C (which is NOT object oriented) you can make a structure and have a variable like Fluffy.Age.
With C++ You can make an object and have a member function like Fluffy.IncreaseAge() which is not possible in C.
Besides what 7stud and DougDbug said, one feature that I like in OOP programming is encapsulation. You can have all functionality in an object(class) and not spread out everwhere in the code. Without OOP it can really be a pain in the *** if you want to debug/upgrade(add new features) to your app.
