Class-based programming - Definition and Overview

Class-based programming, or more commonly class-orientation, refers to the style of object-oriented programming in which inheritance is achieved by defining classes of objects, as opposed to the objects themselves (compare Prototype-based programming).

Example languages

Although Simula introduced the class abstraction, the canonical example of a class-based language is Smalltalk. Others include C++, Java and C Sharp.

Category:Class-based programming languages provides an exhaustive list.
