@Nick basically OOP may (or may not be) a good way to descibe and yes that often leeds to flame wars. Essentially many years ago it was considered hard (and a bad idea at the time) to make a recipe without descringing to the computer what the different things were. Adding things to a computer language to describe those things basically meant (sort of) like this:Computer a Cup is something 12inches has a round piece solide and red. The computer now knows what a cup is when asked: Can you poor tea into this cup(not without spilling it now asks)
I simply do not know why the used the term Object Orientated. You are basically speaking computer the computer only knows what you describe as a real example of computer speak def Gil= Smar.tas dowhile [mood == good] That (in python assuming I didn't mess up spacing would say: Hey there make a thing galled Gil (me) that when while he is in good humor sometimes is a smart ass.. Someone else might speak to a computer in another language just like I speak some Klingon and a little (almost none ) German, others speak French mandarin etc. type coffe; Strct Coffee [hot, black list] That's (some GoLangJS speak to say: So computer my really cool Ractijono(Coffee) shop needs to have a cofee list! and here is what makes coffeness Coffe! it gets weirder with HtmL5 and Xtags: xtag.create('x-clock', class extends XTagElement { connectedCallback () { this.start(); } ^ that says ok so it'd be a really good idea for my page to have a clock! a clock sits in the background and tells time, start it when the page loads (theirs way more to it ) Does that make things about a clear as YodaSpeak? And nick for the most part as someone said: Question no bad their are....asnwers smart only one might get (hehehehehe in a bad yoda voice) In all serius that reely is a good questions. I haven't used MatLab so I have no idea what or how it does FWIW people are moving from deciding to first tell a compute rwhat everthing is, to moving to here's a instruction manual, here's some parts here's how to build (X-Tags, Cookie cutters, or templates depending on who's doing it and if it's speaking WebPolymer (twitch) or X-Tags) On Tue, Jul 17, 2018 at 8:06 PM, Nick Thompson <nickthomp...@earthlink.net> wrote: > Dave, and anybody else who wants to play. > > > > I have always been puzzled by the question of how one distinguishes an > object in object programming from a utility in DOS or a tool in Matlab.
