Object-Oriented Language (OOL)
Definition - What does Object-Oriented Language (OOL) mean?
Object-oriented language (OOL) is a high-level computer programming language that implements objects and their associated procedures within the programming context to create software programs.
Object-oriented language uses an object-oriented programming technique that binds related data and functions into an object and encourages reuse of these objects within the same and other programs.
Techopedia explains Object-Oriented Language (OOL)
Object-oriented language was primarily designed to reduce complexity in typical procedural languages through data binding and encapsulation techniques. In object-oriented language, the objects created provide limited or no access to other functions or methods within the program. This enables only authorized or inherited methods/functions to access a particular object.
Object-oriented language typically supports the following features, at minimum:
- The ability to create classes and their associated objects
- Encapsulation
- Inheritance
