Preferred term

object orientation  

Definition(s)

  • Object orientation (OO) is an approach to modeling and software engineering that encapsulates both data and the algorithms that operate on them into a single packet or object that is representative of some phenomenon. These objects in effect know what they are (their attributes) and what they can do (their algorithms, called methods) in response to messages from the outside world.
