  2. Metaclass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaclass

    Like Smalltalk, in Objective-C, the instance variables and methods are defined by an object's class. A class is an object, hence it is an instance of a metaclass. Like Smalltalk, in Objective-C, class methods are simply methods called on the class object, hence a class's class methods must be defined as instance methods in its metaclass.

  3. Cerner CCL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerner_CCL

    With features like Record Structure and subroutines it allows a user to get data from a database and manipulate it by storing it in a temporary structure; execute a particular section of the code, if required using a subroutine. Complete for CCL (Cerner Command Language) is provided by Cerner Corporation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_object-oriented...

    [1] For example, C++ is a multi-paradigm language including OOP; [2] however, it is less object-oriented than other languages such as Python [3] and Ruby. [ 4 ] Languages with object-oriented features

  5. Class (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_(computer_programming)

    In object-oriented programming, a class defines the shared aspects of objects created from the class. The capabilities of a class differ between programming languages, but generally the shared aspects consist of state and behavior that are each either associated with a particular object or with all objects of that class. [1] [2]

  6. Composition over inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance

    Composition over inheritance (or composite reuse principle) in object-oriented programming (OOP) is the principle that classes should favor polymorphic behavior and code reuse by their composition (by containing instances of other classes that implement the desired functionality) over inheritance from a base or parent class. [2]

    Methods may also be designed public, private, or intermediate levels such as protected (which allows access from the same class and its subclasses, but not objects of a different class). [44] In other languages (like Python) this is enforced only by convention (for example, private methods may have names that start with an underscore).

  8. Class-based programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class-based_programming

    Also, another common example is that a person object created from a child class cannot become an object of parent class because a child class and a parent class inherit a person class but class-based languages mostly do not allow to change the kind of class of the object at runtime. For class-based languages, this restriction is essential in ...

  9. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python sets are very much like mathematical sets, and support operations like set intersection and union. Python also features a frozenset class for immutable sets, see Collection types. Dictionaries (class dict) are mutable mappings tying keys and corresponding values. Python has special syntax to create dictionaries ({key: value})
