It introduces the notion of objects, which act as building -blocks for an application. Each object is a bag of data with a set of -procedures or "methods" that are used to manipulate it. Objects are organized -into "classes" with identical characteristics, and classes can inherit -functionality from one another. This object-oriented paradigm adds another -level of organization on top of the basic variable/procedure elements, and -the resulting code is easier to understand and maintain. +[incr Tcl] is the most widely used O-O system for Tcl. The name is a play on +C++, and [incr Tcl] provides a similar object model, including multiple +inheritence and public and private classes and variables. |
