An approach to system development in which the basic unit of attention is an object, which represents an encapsulation of both data an object’s attributes and functionality (Objects usually are created using a general template called a class. A class is the basis for most design work in objects. A class and its objects communicate in defined ways. Aggregate classes interact through messages, which are directed requests for services from one class (the client) to another class (the server). A class may share the structure or methods defined in one or more other classes - a relationship known as inheritance; an object’s methods) |
