Abstract
As mentioned in the previous chapter, object-orientation enhances the decomposition of a problem. Classes are the principal decomposition units, therefore, a class is considered a module and a decomposition unit. A class is also a type for objects. This chapter presents and explains the basic structure of a class. An introduction to data descriptions and the general structure of a function is discussed. The construction of simple object-oriented programs is presented in the last part of this chapter.
