All these OO[x]'s are just one way for Analysis Design Coding and Testting to
be used with objects.
    Note: SmallTalk and Java are pure object oriented languages because all
    code and data belong to an object. C++ is a hybrid language because
    it allows for code to exits as functions - like main().
    Anyways, the big deal with OO programming is that it is supposed to come
    closer to mimicing real life. It allows for objects to be highly cohesive
    and allow for loose coupling when interacting with other objects.
    Objects just pass messages back and for to each other. Like in real life,
    a Teacher gives assignments to a Student and the Student returns the 
    assignment.
    
    Teacher Joe("computer science);
    Student computer_class[30];
    assg = Joe.GiveAssg();
    for (int i=0; i<30;i++) computer_class.GetAssg( assg );
    Modularity is the single component that allows for software to be
    intullectually managable. So, for an object, you don't have to
    remeber the "rules" for a procedure. The object is responsible for
    knowning the rules and being a self contained entity that can
    keep data to itself but allow access to information through intelligent
    methods (functions).
    Can you tell that I'm in software engineering this semester?
