What are different properties provided by Objectoriented systems ?

Following are characteristic’s of Object Oriented System’s :-
Abstraction
It allows complex real world to be represented in simplified manner. Example color is abstracted to RGB. By just making the combination of these three colors we can achieve any color in world.It’s a model of real world or concept.
Encapsulation
It is a process of hiding all the internal details of an object from the outside world.
Communication using messages
When application wants to achieve certain task it can only be done using combination of objects. A single object can not do all the task. Example if we want to make order processing form.We will use Customer object, Order object, Product object and Payment object to achieve this functionality. In short these objects should communicate with each other.

This is achieved when objects send messages to each other.
Object lifetime
All objects have life time.Objects are created ,and initialized, necessary functionalities are done and later the object is destroyed. Every object have there own state and identity which differ from instance to instance.
