:Please don't use the current content as an excuse. I want to rename first because otherwise, people will claim it is not OOP. Certainly we want to discuss what is OOP? But the more important is, history of OOP, point of views, variants, and so on. They are certainly beyond an article named object-oriented programming. Again, oftentimes, broader term serves well in encyclopedia. I showed an example above. -- [[User:TakuyaMurata|Taku]] 15:11 23 May 2003 (UTC)
 
I happen to disagree with your choice of the word subprogram, in all my 25 years experience of being a programmer I can't recall anyone ever using the term subprogram for subroutine, function or procedure or method. However those four words that that you've grouped under subprogram do have different meanings to different people, usually depending on what language you are talking about. i.e. C programmers talk about functions when they mean procedures. I personally think subroutine is a better word because it is one that is in common usage and I beleive it has a longer history than the other words. But that is another issue.
 
Why don't we try to resolve this issue sensibly. Why don't you start writng an article about [[object theory]] and we'll see needs to be merged in from OOP? [[User:Mintguy|Mintguy]] 15:21 23 May 2003 (UTC)
