In the object-oriented programming community, there is a very common design pattern known as Model-View-Controller. The Model-View-Controller design pattern says that each class you write should fall into exactly one of the following groups:

SavingsAccount

NSSlider
is a view class. The best views are general-purpose classes and can be used in several applications.
