11 Object Programming

Object programming combines data structure and operations on data structure to entities called objects. Objects provide abstraction, encapsulation and inheritance to provide data based modularization for programs. Objects are easily modeled in Scheme using lexical closures [How 94], Chapter 6. Objects may be modeled in J using locales [How 94], Chapter 6.
