You can do OOD in C too, just a little differently.
There is nothing in C++ you can't do in C.
Doing it in C just means you need to know a little more of C than doing it in C++.
Whether it is learning C preprocessor vs. templates, or figuring out function pointers vs. polymorphism.
C++ just makes it easier, that is all.
