I got an internship learning how to program and my mentor suggested that we pick a topic that would be similiar to how java or python (OOP) is used data mining...!

Please explain! I thought OOP was used to interact with databases and manipulate data somehow. Can some provide a specific example?

Java and Python are general purpose programming languages.

Object-oriented programming is just a programming paradigm that makes it easier to create large software.

I think that you should talk to your supervisor to ask more information about your project because you seem confused.

I understand that OOP is a general purpose programming language for making large software.

My purpose of inquiry was if one could provide a specific example of [b][i] how[/i][/b] "making large software" may be implemented specifically in the field of data mining.

As I mentioned in my previous post, is OOP used to make large software that manipulates data? interacts with databases?

-- Yours Sincerely

Apache Hadoop is written in Java, also look at Java data mining project/API http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Data_Mining from Oracle
