It's nice and clean, but it's not OO.
One big difference is: You have to pass the "object" as parameter for everything that modifies it. You could use globals, but then you can only have one "object".
Still better than undescriptive naming.
explicitly passing the self variable doesn't make it not OOP.
I disagree. I believe this is object oriented and the object is Point.
You're right that the syntax looks different. But whether the object is before the function name:
obj.fn(p)or after the function name:fn(obj, p)does not change its status as a parameter. It is still required to be present in the invocation in both cases.Object oriented isn't about where the parameters go, it is about how the program is organised and designed.
