[Tutor] programming definitions for a newbie.

[Ruben Walston]

Just to make sure that I've got this correct, object oriented proramming 
allows a programmer to merge the data with the methods acting upon them, fo 
rinstance if I do an assignment such as:

x = "Ruben"

then I can do

len(x)

but I cant do that in procedural programming.

What is the advantage of object oriented programming as opposed to 
procedural programming? Does is shorten the amount of code you need to 
write?
