Object-Oriented Programming

As humans, we’re constantly faced with myriad facts and impressions that we must make sense of. To do so, we have to abstract underlying structure away from surface details and discover the fundamental relations at work. Abstractions reveal causes and effects, expose patterns and frameworks, and separate what’s important from what’s not. Object-orientation provides an abstraction of the data on which you operate—moreover, it provides a concrete grouping between the data and the operations you can perform with the data, in effect giving the data behavior.
