'''Object-oriented programming''' ('''OOP''') is a [[programming paradigm]] based on the concept of "[[Object (computer science)|objects]]", which can contain [[data]] and [[Computer program|code]]: data in the form of [[Field (computer science)|fields]] (often known as [[Attribute (computing)|attributes]] or ''properties''), and code, in the form of procedures (often known as ''[[Method (computer science)|methods]]'').

A common feature is that this do not make senseprocedures (or methods) are attached to them and can access and modify the object's data fields. In this brand of OOP, there is usually a special name such as [[this (computer programming)|{{code|this|C++}}]] or {{code|self|swift}} used to refer to the current object. In OOP, computer programs are designed by making them out of objects that interact with one another.<ref>{{Cite journal
