In my previous job, our code base was done entirely in C. I can bet some of our developers couldn't answer that question correctly.


come on. classes are a fundamental coding methodology. just because you're using an archaic programming language for some ancient application doesn't excuse you from understanding OOP since that concept is FUNDAMENTAL to every modern programming language for the last 30+ years.

In a lot of embedded systems environments, C is the dominant programming language. If you're an old embedded systems engineer, you might not even need to learn OOP or use classes depending on where you work. Let's not forget a lot of the older firmware engineers majored in Electrical Engineering, which probably didn't emphasize OOP in the curriculum (at least back in the day).
