object based programming

Object-based programming is a programming paradigm that supports objects and thus the principle of data encapsulation. Unlike object-oriented programming, object-based programming does not support inheritance.

Object-based programming supports abstractions (only) by creating objects that communicate with each other through messages and execute methods. Thus manipulations of the condition of the objects are made. Class definitions specify exactly the construction descriptions of all objects of a class, i.e. all their attributes, whose value assignments determine their state, as well as the behavior of the objects of the class.
