What is object-oriented programming? See Steve Jobs's answer!

The tech world knows that Steve Jobs has no formal training in technology, but he has a deep, incomparable technology understanding.

Many people avoid calling Steve Jobs a programmer or engineer, but no one denies that he has a vision of technology. The unique combination of technology, talent, business, marketing and luck has created a change for what he calls the "world's fastest motor industry".

In this article, TipsMake.com will share with you a part of Rolling Stone's interview with Steve Jobs in 1994, which he explains exactly what object-oriented software is. This is also one of the best explanations of object-oriented programming that we've ever known.

Interview with Steve Jobs explaining object-oriented programming:

"Jeff Goodell: Can you explain, in the simplest and most accurate way, what is object-oriented software?

Steve Jobs: The object is like a human. They are living, breathing objects, they know how to work and have memory to remember everything. And instead of interacting with them at a low level, you interact with them at a very high level of abstraction, as we are doing right here.

Specific example: If I was a laundry, you could give my dirty clothes to me and give a message: "Can you wash my clothes?". I know the best laundry place in San Francisco. I speak English, I have money in my wallet, so I go out, catch a taxi and tell the driver to take me to the laundry place I know. I washed clothes, then jumped on the taxi and came back here. I gave you clean clothes and said: "This is your washed clothes".

You have no idea how I washed them. You don't know where I washed the clothes. Maybe you speak French and you can't even call a taxi. You can't pay for laundry, or even a penny in your pocket. However, I know how to do all these things, so you don't need to know them to do anything. All of that complexity is hidden inside me, and we can interact at a very high level of abstraction. Those are the objects. Objects pack complex processes and pair them at a high level. "

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming model based on the concept of an object, which contains data, in the form of fields, often called attributes. Code of object-oriented programming often takes the form of a procedure, often called a method. This is another piece of OOP definition on Wikipedia. After reading it, you probably know why Steve Jobs's definition is so praised right?
