=== Programming language documentation ===

AllMost, if not mostall programming languages have skeleton code used to assist in the definition of all built-in functions and [[Method (software engineering)|methods]]. This provides a simple means for newer programmers to understand the syntax and intended implementation of the written methods.

[[Java (programming language)|Java]], an [[Object-oriented programming|object oriented language]], focuses heavily on a structured documentation page with completely separated methods for each object part of Java’s packages.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Object (Java Platform SE 8 )|url=https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html|access-date=2020-10-02|website=docs.oracle.com}}</ref> Object oriented languages focus on a hierarchy based structure to their implementations, rather than a simple top-down approach found in other languages. ‘Objects’ store data and variables in them, allowing for a typically more efficient program to be written. These objects have individual functions that can access internal variables, known as methods.
