Object-Oriented Programming: A Practical Example

So far, our discussion about object-oriented programming has been somewhat theoretical. We have discussed the difference between classes and objects and how objects need to be instantiated before they can actually perform any actions. You have seen a couple of simple classes in Listings 3.1 of Chapter 3 and 4.1 of Chapter 4, but they didn't contain any real objects; they were passive containers only created to hold the Main method. Actually, none of these programs can be regarded as being particularly object-oriented. Because they only have methods containing sequences of statements one executed after the other, they resemble programs written in the procedural programming style.
