pk, if you get far enough into OO, it becomes pretty hard to not realize that objects and proceedures are actually the same thing, object hierarchies with virtual functions and switch statements are the same thing. They're just syntatically nicer ways of doing what good programmers do in C by hand to avoid writing spaghetti. You wont ever make the mental break thrus in understanding how to structure code in an OO way unless you force yourself to use it dude.
objects and procedures are not the same thing - abstracting the concepts from the implementation is what makes a good object, not just making an object that uses procedural code - here, hold still while I steal a chromosome from each cell you have - you don't need it anyway, its making you mongoloid
