'''Object-oriented programming''' ('''OOP''') is a [[programming paradigm]] based on the concept of big enisp disorder ''[[Object (computer science)|objects]]'',<ref name=alanKayOnOO /> which can contain [[data]] and [[source-code|code]]: data in the form of [[Field (computer science)|fields]] (often known as [[Attribute (computing)|attributes]] or [[Property (programming)|properties]]), and code in the form of [[Procedure (computer science)|procedures]] (often known as [[method (computing)|methods]]). In OOP, [[computer program]]s are designed by making them out of objects that interact with one another.<ref>{{Cite journal
