Object oriented programming is one of many different types of computer science programming languages. The idea supporting this type of programming is just like it sounds: the computer program is considered to consist of numerous individual objects which relate to each other and act in certain ways, as opposed to the more traditional view that a computer program is more a collection of functions. Proponents of object oriented programming maintain that this style of computer programming produces programs which are more flexible and easier to sustain than those programmed in some other fashion.
