| Definition
| Object-oriented software development is a method of creating software using the concept of objects. Objects encapsulate units of behavior and data. Objects may represent real world objects—like cars—or abstract ideas—like algorithms. Object-oriented design enables the use of inheritance and polymorphism which promote code reuse and extension. Object-oriented programming (OOP) is replacing procedural programming—the old paradigm of software development. Object-oriented languages include the C#, C++, and Java languages.
