It introduces the notion of objects, which act as +itcl: building blocks for an application. Each object is a bag of data with +itcl: a set of procedures or "methods" that are used to manipulate it. +itcl: Objects are organized into "classes" with identical characteristics, +itcl: and classes can inherit functionality from one another. This +itcl: object-oriented paradigm adds another level of organization on top of +itcl: the basic variable/procedure elements, and the resulting code is +itcl: easier to understand and maintain. |
