Object-oriented software is all about
objects. An object receives and sends messages. An object
actually contains code (sequences of computer instructions)
and data (information which the instructions operate on).
Traditionally, code and data have been kept apart. For
example, in the C language, units of code are called functions,
while units of data are called structures. Functions and
structures are not formally connected in C. A C function
can operate on more than one type of structure, and more
than one function can operate on the same structure. Not
so for object-oriented software! In o-o (object-oriented)
programming, code and data are merged into a single indivisible
thing -- an object. A primary rule of object-oriented
programming is this: the user of an object should never
need to peek inside the object.
